Louboutin #2 - Chantilly Lace Very Prives


I stumbled across these babies in David Jones one day and HAD to have them.  I was a bit nervous because I had just bought the blue/yellow Architeks on eBay and was expecting them to arrive that week.  I thought maybe 2 in one week was a bit OTT (little did I know this would degenerate over the coming weeks).


They were 1/2 size up from my TTS (my TTS is 35.5 and these are 36) but they're the smallest size DJ stocks (attention David Jones - us smaller footed ladies would like some Louboutin love) so I couldn't get them in my TTS which I probably should have.  They're a tad too long but nothing heel grips can't fix.

I noticed the lace on the heel was ripped and of course they didn't have another pair in size 36 so they knocked 10% off the purchase price (after already being 60% off) and gave me the business card for a cobbler to take them to.  After DJs I visited the recommended cobbler - he took one look and told me there was nothing he could do for me.  Sad face.  He suggested I get some paint and an artistic friend to draw fake lace on....  Ummm...


So they've been sitting in my cupboard since I bought them.  I'm saving them for a special occasion since the lace is so delicate.

    1. I bought these a few months ago L, but DJs is currently having a sale on Louboutins. I think they're 40% off. None of the classics or new season stuff is on sale obviously.
