Manolo Blahnik pumps (see more leather high heels)
As you can imagine, my addiction can be quite arduous. So when I got an email from Barney's with these sweet, wonderful leather and linen masterpieces I knew I was in trouble. I have a particular weakness for red pumps. These screamed classic summer elegance - at 60% off! They even had my size! I had no more wiped the drool from the keyboard while envisioning all the places the shoes and I would go (summer BBQs, Sunday brunching, trips to the shore!) when a certain adorable babe began to wake from her ever-so-brief afternoon nap. Cue dramatic music. You see, shortly after the tiniest Lovely entered the world, our lives were completely transformed (as infants seem to be able to do). I also basically quit my job to be able to stay at home with her - more on that another day. Since $800 shoes are not able to look up at me with big blue eyes and a toothless, drooling smile - I closed the website. When I went back to visit them the next day they were sold out - thankfully before I could change my mind and drop the monthly diaper funds on Italian leather. I can only hope that they went to a good home that will treat them with the love they deserve, while I'm off getting some adorable gummy smiles.
