Jessica Simpson "Dany" Sandals Update

Yesterday when I got home after picking the PGP up at school, I found a box on my front porch. My sandals had arrived! I honestly didn't expect them this soon, as I had only gotten the shipping notice yesterday and the tracking information was coming up with nothing. So I was hugely surprised.

Of course I had to rip open the box and put them on immediately. They are super comfortable, but I will warn those of you not used to wearing heels this high that these are seriously high. I have no trouble walking in them, even up and down stairs, but I'm rarely out of very high heels so I'm very used to the difference of walking in super high vs. average heels.

They appear to be fairly well made, although the "wood" is actually some kind of plastic (I think, definitely synthetic), however this makes them more lightweight on your feet rather than the heaviness of a wood heel so I'm not really bothered.



This picture was taken just before we got hit with terrible rainstorms hence my hair is starting to explode with the humidity! Also excuse the hideously enormous jeans. They are so giant that I just pull them on and off, and are my housework jeans. Its odd to see myself in something that adds pounds due to the bulk, but I was entirely too lazy to change!

Also wearing my vintage dead stock YSL cat eye sunglasses I found on eBay a few months ago. After getting the McQueen sunglasses that were a slight cat eye, I had pulled out some vintage ones and realized how much I loved them. However most of my vintage sunglasses have very scratched lenses, so I searched for a new pair and came across these. I highly recommend the seller if you are interested in getting a pair for yourself, they arrived in just a few days and came with the case and the original box as well.

Also while looking for something completely different, last night I came across a leopard version of these shoes made by Jeffrey Campbell called "Foxy" and available here. More expensive than these, but if you're a fan of leopard, they are quite cute!

Cheers!

Jessica Simpson "Dany" Sandals with Discount!

If you're dreading another day of extensive heat in NY (ugh) perhaps I can cheer you up a little by sharing some "back in stock" news as well as savings on my favourite things to buy... shoes!

For those of you who missed out when they first showed up this past winter, Jessica Simpson's "Dany" shoe is back in stock on her site here for $98.00. I did a little looking around, and so far no one else is showing them back in stock, although I know its been said anywhere from late June to early July many sites will have them again.

Jessica Simpson Collection Dany, $98.00

In tan they're only available in US 10, but the black seems to have every size except US 11. I know they were going for crazy amounts of money on eBay for awhile, although right now there are actually a bunch of pairs under regular price. The other 11 pairs creep up from $150 to this insane pair with a Buy It Now price of $280! Forget eBay, if you purchase directly through her site there's a coupon that will give you a discount and you don't have to play stalking/ bidding/ sniping wars.

I did some checking and found the following promotional code to be valid. If this is your first order on the site, use coupon code CAPT10 at checkout to get 10% off. The code is case sensitive, so be sure to use it as shown. You use the code on the checkout page, now don't forget to use it as it saves nearly ten bucks on these! Shipping wasn't too bad either as I'm assuming they are heavy because of the wood soles, it was only $7.

These are super duper high shoes with a heel that comes in at nearly 6 inches so you really need to be a "pro" at wearing heels for these! I'm glad they added a big enough platform -- nearly two inches -- to make them comfortable. At this height, anything less would be not only uncomfortable, but we'd be getting into some serious ankle twisting/ breaking territory! I was in London when I first saw them online, but by the time I went to purchase, they were completely sold out everywhere. (Nano-seconds, I swear. Crazy when that happens!) Normally I would stay away from inexpensive shoes but I have to admit that some of her shoes are really quite good styles, not to mention very affordable and from what I've been told (and seen) seem to be decent quality for the price. They also remind me so much of a fab pair I had in high school that I keep wishing I hadn't worn into the ground and still had! So of course I had to order. Well... someone as tiny as me needs all the help they can get, and with these I won't have to go on my tiptoes (while wearing heels no less) to kiss my dear Punk Glam King as he stands nearly a foot taller than me! Yep, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Now that I've gotten shipping confirmation, I can't wait for them to arrive!

Cheers!
