I would like to amend my post as I slowly take my foot out of my mouth. I just saw a photo of Melanie from the Spice Girls wearing this shoe at the AMAs and OMG it looks fabulous. This always happens to me with CL shoes, I see a photo or a pair of CLs on display, and they are just 'eh ok', nothing special, but then I see them worn in all their glory and they are just stunning.
I am rushing over to Barneys now to try on a pair. I just fell in love...
