hi serenity*now, i passed on the boots for some celine's instead. i tried the boots on in the store and they were very retro, a bit too much with the gold trim on the wood and would have preferred them without the trim. super comfortable though.
i just received the shoe above and am truly blown away, seriously swooning over them. the little gold discs are weighty and so is the shoe, its solid, impeccably crafted with so much gusto. for any marni girls out there this is a winner.
