In preparation for tonight’s visit to the Bata Shoe Museum’s ‘Til 10 event I did what any respectable shopaholic would do and went to the mall yesterday to find something to wear. I purchased a pair of earrings from Aldo named Merfeld. I love the pearl beads and shape, chic with lots of character (see picture one).

While in line at the cash register I turned my head and saw a pair of shoes that just blew my mind (see picture two), but I resisted making an impulse purchase and left the store before I got myself into trouble. However, when I woke up this morning I caved, went back and bought the shoes – the last pair of size sevens in the store! 

The shoes are named Mickolick (got to love the product names Aldo picks), are composed of blue suede on the exterior with a leather insole. The stiletto heel measures 12.5 cm with a hidden toe platform of 3 cm.

Not sure if I’ll wear my new shoes tonight because I have to break them in first, but for the love of fashion I just might give in.

N.B.: unfortunately Aldo.com doesn’t have the earrings or shoes for purchase online yet, your best bet is to go to your nearest store and pick them up there. Good luck!
