Sorry it took me so long to do this--I've been traveling.
Thanks for all the good wishes, you all are very sweet!
Ended up buying the Belgravia flats in nude (not shown) and these two super cool Belgravia flats/pumps. It's sort of hard to see, but they are black and white striped snakeskin covered in black lace. They were never put into production (I can wear a sample size 7...a bit big for me but when a shoe has straps like these it's no issue). I thought the pattern was so cool I had to get it in both the flat AND the pump.
In all, I spent around USD450 for 3 pairs . . . I'm eating ramen for lunch all month, but it's a great deal for what I got! For a full account of what was there you can check out Mizhattan (http://www.mizhattan.com/2015/05/sample-sale-aquatopia.html).
Shoes were most abundant in 37 and 40 (the sample sizes); in my usual size (36.5) as well as the other non-sample sizes, they had Amelies in different colors, both pump and flat, the Belgravia flat in nude, and that was about it...a few stray heels but nothing that made me sit up and take notice. I poached a bit from 37, but many of the shoes there were really too big, which is why I didn't end up buying more. The Wild Thing sandals, for example, were just flopping like fish on my feet. I didn't see a single pair of Christy flats or I would have snatched them up (I was almost first through the door so I think they just didn't have them.)
All in all, though, I thought it was a fantastic sale, and if it ever happens again, any NYC ladies should definitely go.
