Coveting from the Backseat: Valentino Organza & Lace Open-Toe Bootie

A while back I posted about the Valentino Spring 2010 runway lace pumps I was dreaming about but couldn’t possibly ever afford. Having read my sad story, my friend J informed me that Valentino was releasing a less pricey alternative that might fill the void in my heart (that’s not quite what she said, but something along those lines).

I wasn’t sure about them. Disappointingly, the dainty, ethereal feel of the runway pumps seemed to have been lost in translation; the organza, lace and colour of the bootie alternative combined for a much heavier look. Of course, it was also thousands of dollars cheaper (though still out of reach). I wrote them off though and told myself that perhaps in my next life as a lady who lunches I will come back for those runway pumps.

Yesterday, however, I happened to stop by Net-a-porter and what was staring back at me but those organza & lace booties I had written off as too heavy, looking soft and romantic and dainty and downright magical. This is me removing my foot from my mouth and putting these gorgeous booties on my Spring wish list.
