Taking Jelly Shoes To The Ridiculous Conclusion?


So, perusing the usual Blog Roll today I came across a reference to some new Stella McCartney sandals.

"Stella McCartney lucite-heel sandals: Transparency is one trend where accessories add just the right touch. McCartney's bottle-green sandals marry a tough gladiator feel with a Lucite heel. $1,195 at www.net-a-porter.com."

Hold on a minute! $1,195??? I just did a currency conversion on that and it comes out to £600.93.

Six hundred squid for what is essentially a pair of jelly shoes?

Oh hang on though, if you go to Net-A-Porter's UK website they're a snip at £545. That's ok then. Stella obviously does a discount for her fellow Limeys.

As Manolo would say "Ayyyyy!"

For a bit of fun I thought I'd go and see what I'd rather spend £545 on and was spoilt for choice.

With summer approaching there's these gorgeous Emilio Pucci espadrilles. A bargainous £375.

Just another example of how money can't buy you taste!
