Boy, oh Boy!

The Manolo Blahnik for Boy by Band of Outsiders lace up bootie has been the shoe of my dreams ever since the photos of the Fall09 collection were released on Style.com back in February. All summer long I was staring at images of these amazing shoes counting down the seconds for fall shoes to arrive in stores, imagining how much better my life will be when these shoes are on my feet. Well I waited and waited, annoyed everyone at Barney's, the Manolo store in NY as well as Manolo PR with the question still unanswered! Finally Jon had a meeting with Scott the founder/designer for Band of Outsiders, I begged Jon to ask him where I could find these shoes. After the meeting Jon calls and says that the shoe never made it to production the only ones in existence are the samples that were made. Words cannot describe the disappointment that I was feeling. This shoe was like Nessie the Loch Ness monster I've seen the photos but have yet to see it in person! Tonight Jon brought home Nessie! He brought home the shoes! SO amazing! I wore them to the movies tonight and the whole night kept turning to Jon saying that I couldn't believe that I owned the shoes and that they were on my lucky feet!
