FO FINDS: LEIFSDOTTIR ILONA HEELS
You guys, I GOT THEM. It was almost too easy: shortly after posting my love note, they went on sale on the Leifsdottir site. I have to say, I kind of missed the thrill of the chase - no frequent Googling to see where they might be on sale, no obsessive hunting on Ebay.
I’ll also admit that I’ve been on self-imposed spending hiatus lately and was (no pun intended) sort of banking on the fact that it would be a while before they went on sale. However, when I weighed my spending guilt against the facts that a) they are definitely still in my budget, b) I would cry hot tears if I watched them sell out and c) I still have no problem buying all manner of short-lived baby onesies, I felt slightly less irresponsible.
And, of course, they are totally gorgeous and amazing in person. This is my first pair of Leifsdottir, and they are extremely well-made - even my husband admired the beautifully stitched leather soles. Despite the neutral color palette, they are definitely summer shoes, so I am going to have to wear the *&^% out of them.
One downside: you know when you get something that you love and you can visualize the first scratch marring its perfect surface? I saw it in my mind’s eye with these heels and it sent a shiver down my spine.
