ojo, where do you buy manolos in philly? or do you go up to ny? i'd love to find someplace local that has a decent selection... i never have time to do serious shopping when i'm in ny any more, always working...

 

[ojodeazul19]

These I got at the Store on 54th in Manhattan. but in Philly, the Neiman at KOP has a huge selection and some in my size. Boyds has a pretty decent selection as well, but they don't carry anyting smaller then a 6.

okay everything REALLY worked out for me.

as you guys know I special ordered red alligator manolos in Nov...in farenelli.

and I found out 2 weeks ago..after prepaying in Nov plus the extra 15% they wre out of red croc skins.

so I had a nice big s tore credit.....so I was able to get my blue birkin......since I had my spring shoes paid off.

anyway my SA called me Friday to tell me the skins went on sale 50%

and they had red croc carolyns.....one of the classics in 105mm on sale.

so I nabbed them and here thy are.

I just love them! the nice thing about these ...they will go under pants! farenellis do not look as good under pants so this is PERFECT

 

[ojodeazul19]

Another fabulous purchase!

 

[guccigal07]

thanks ojo!

congrats on the red sedaraby! aren't they so beautiful!

what else did you get? any alligator?

 

[ojodeazul19]

I don't know the names of the two snadals that i got. One is a deep bronze strappy sandal that I feel I can wear lots with dresses and fun stuff in the summer at the shore.

the other is a traditional style I have it in gold and silver, this was like a mixture of the two. And strappy and cute. Totally a great deal.

They didn't have any of the skins in my size I was really dissapointed because they were some great deals.

And the RED..OMG so beautiful. Hopefully they will come in before i have to go to my friends' wedding they will look amazing with the dress I have picked out for it.

 

[guccigal07]

I agree! amazing with wedding events!

I love sale time at manolo but if you do not know someone there it can be uber stressful.

I asked my SA to look thru the spring lookbook and tell me how many shoes she thinks I will want she said 8.

I was like NOOOOOO I can't do 8

 

[leyla m.]

gucci, those are amazing. ... honestly one of the best classics ive seen!!

 

[ojodeazul19]

The sale was definitely stressful for almost everyone there.. I thought it was pretty low key, I went right before closing and was pretty impressed with general selection..that and I was jumping up and down that they ordered the red in a 4.5 so I dont' have to special order it!

 

[guccigal07]

oh they special ordered them for you but you do not have to pay the 20% above.

yeah there is alot left...and they are extending to next week now instead of closing tomorrow.

was everything 175?

 

[ojodeazul19]

That is good to know. Makes me feel a little special in regards to not having to pay the 20% fee, which I have done on numerous occasions..so maybe I have paid some of my dues

yeah, everyting was like 122-185..it was nuts cheap..

 

[guccigal07]

wow they are really blowing them out.

okay I got the orchid clips in.

roses are on the way.

what do you gals think?

 

[guccigal07]

sorry my feet were red...I took a hot hot shower!

 

[ojodeazul19]

I love love love the blue..that is the most beautiful color..but then again I am partial to anyting blue..

 

[guccigal07]

well I own both the blue and pink and I bought the orchid for the pink to attach...but it looks nice on the blue.

overall stupid? or what?

I will not wear them every day...just when in the mood!

 

[salomelovesjohn]

I think the clips look super cute, its a fun, different look.

 

[leyla m.]

cute on the rose but super cute on the blue!!

 

[ojodeazul19]

I think that they look super cute on the blue and I think that the rose will look super cute...

 

[guccigal07]

well that is good! not tacky then.

I will wear them every so ofthen...saves me $645!

 

[ojodeazul19]

No, not tacky at all. I think that they look like they belong there..and saving 645 is always a good thing!
