The Devil Wears Last Season's Pink Prada Sandals
August 07, 2006
(NOT PREGNANT, PEOPLE. IF YOU DON'T STOP TELLING ME TO PEE ON ONE MORE STICK I WILL MAYBE COME PEE ON YOU.)
You know, the stuff Internet people choose to rag on you about never ceases to amaze me. Yes. I own a pair of pink Prada sandals. I bought them off-season at Filene's Basement for 40% off, and later saw them on clearance at Bluefly.com for double what I paid, and thus consider them the pinnacle of my bargain-hunting career. I did not wear them at BlogHer or anytime during our vacation. I mentioned them in my packing post because I like saying the words "pink Prada sandals." I did not realize that by doing that, I was giving someone the evidence they needed to make sweeping declarations about my character, of the I could never be friends with someone who owns Prada sandals variety, because judging people by their footwear is okay as long as you discrimate upwards, and also I never wanted to be your friend either, so nyah.
Ahem. What? Oh, here are the pink Prada sandals. Jason thinks they are ugly. He is usually right about these things, but if I did not own them I would never be able to work the words "pink Prada sandals" into conversations.
They cost less than your average pair of Nine Wests, they match absolutely nothing I own, but God help me, I am powerless to resist the seductive meow of kitten heels.
Anyway, I would love to be able to defend my shallow brandiness with some kind of declaration that I am not really THAT girly. That pink Prada sandals aside, I'm actually quite grounded and refreshingly down-to-earth! I don't give a shit about my hair and regularly enter professional belching contests! I'm perfectly qualified to parent a son! MONSTER TRUCKS! BOO-FUCKING-YAWWR!
But the thing is, I'm incredibly girly. I own 34 lip glosses and won't kill bugs that crunch.
And I love pink shoes. Specifically, pink plastic flip-flops. Nothing makes me happier than pink plastic flip-flops. I buy them "for the pool" or "for walking the dog" and then the next thing you know I'm wearing them to Starbucks and shopping and then Jason is casually raising his eyebrows because I've somehow convinced myself that Pink Plastic Flip-Flops Are The New Stiletto Heels and am trying to wear them out for dinner.
I develop a very deep attachment to my pink plastic flip-flops.
All this rambling is just to help you understand the horror of this past weekend, which is really the thing I set out to write about this morning before I got all het up about those damn sandals of the pink and Prada variety, and trust me, I actually deleted a WHOLE OTHER RANT about them and I think it concluded with the lyrics of "Why Can't We Be Friends?" so consider yourselves lucky, but anyway, SHUT UP A MINUTE AND LOOK AT WHAT MY DAMN DOG DID:
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
Behold, Amy's loves, hopes, dreams and like fourteen bucks down the drain.
If she were not so cute, she'd totally be a pair of boots right now.*
*OMG, i could never B friends w/ someone who wears shoes made out of dogs! that is like so wrong!
I, like, could never be friends with someone who doesn't like to wear pink plastic flip flops.
I feel your pain! I loved my pink flip flops so much that I wore them until the soles were paper-thin before I gave up on them. And bought new ones. Possibly more than one pair.
Holy fuck, am I first?
Damnit.
Well, I loooove the shoes, at any rate.
I don't think I could be friends with someone who lets their pets wear fur...
...oh, the HUMANITY!
Did Ceiba fully inGEST the plastic? Because wow, that is commitment to destruction.
Isn't Filene's Basement like the best place EVER!! I LOVE that place! Now if you bought Pink Prada Sandals (that does have a nice ring too it doesn't it?) NOT on sale then...THEN we'd have a problem....
And sure the dog chewed up your flip-flops, but look on the bright side, you get to go out and BUY NEW ONES! YAY!!
Buy Reefs, maybe the nylon will be too much effort for Ceiba and they do make pink ones!
Those would be the smallest pair of boots EVER.
Pink Prada Sandals go with everything! drrrrr!
No really, jeans and pink tank top, prada sandals. Jeans and white tank top, pink prada sandals. Little black summer dress, pink prada sandals... and perhaps for Jason to *learn* to love those pink prada sandals ... wearing *nothing* and those adorable PINK PRADA SANDALS.
Seriously though, I think they are cute, and delicate with that kitten heel!
You're lucky you don't wear a size 11. Well because then you'd never find shoes, EVER, but then you would be missing a pair of shoes.
I second the reef flip flop pick...I have *cough* 9 pair of them. The nylon is much better between the toes anyway.

I'm not a girly girl, and I would totally buy a pair of pink prada sandals - because they would remind me of my favorite show - and I would wear them EVERYWHERE. Matching or not.
I am deeply sorry for the loss of the flip flops. I'm working on getting a whole set in every color possible to coordinate with all of my clothes. I hope that you will be able to replace them even though the fall shoes are on the racks.
Boot. You meant Boot, rather than "pair of boots," I think, because Ceiba is probably only big enough for one, unfortunately. That fact may be what saves her, in the end...
dear god,
that dog is either engaging in a cry for help or really hates pink and wants to kill it.
p.s. anyone who bitches about your sandals should be forced to suck on the rubber soles of your destroyed flip-flops.
I can relate to the brandiness and love of shoes. I once bought a pair of lovely kitten-heeled pointy-toed tan BCBG shoes at a discount store. I was over the moon about these damn shoes. Then my husband had to point out that they weren't really BCBG, they were fakes. Whatever. I still treat them like the awesome shoes they are, and I don't own anything that matches them either. Although right now my most beloved shoes are tan leather flip flops from American Eagle. Ten bucks and they're the most awesome shoes I own. Until I wear them the hell out, of course.
Yeah. Totally not enough skin there to make any decent pair of boots. Might as well keep the dog.
Plus- chewed up shoes=EXCUSE TO BUY MORE FREAKIN SHOES!! And what could ever be wrong with that?
Oh, the Carnage! Not one, but two.
Tell them to suck it! ;-)
Pink Prada sandals is kind of fun to say.
I love my dog. I may even go a little overboard with my love for my dog. But if he ate two pairs of my shoes, I'd probably threaten him with bootdom too.
I just wish you had stolen them. Then you would have street cred.
My 12 year old daughter thought for the longest time that kitten heels were made out, of, um cats. Specifically, kittens. Really shitty person I am I told her "only the ugly ones." Meaning kittens, not shoes. I did eventually (5 minutes later) tell her the truth. It was funny. And it only took a partial family therapy session to recover from it. I can't wait to figure out a way to work dog boots into a conversation.
I am a flip flop addict. I can only imagine your loss... My grandmaw call's them thongs. In the middle of Wal-Mart. At the top of her lungs. "Are you going to buy me some thongs?"
But the point of this comment are the Pink Airwalk Flip Flops that have saved my bacon this summer. Heaven in a shoe. They're pink, they float and my toes can breathe in this stupid southern heat. I'll post a pic at my site just for you.
I love the pink Prada sandals, personally. And Ceiba committed a heinous (HEINOUS I say!) crime by munching those so-cute pink flip-flops. No wonder he's hiding.
I'm not sure whether I agree with you or Jason here about the Pink Prada Sandals - think I need to seem them in the context of their usage before I can judge their awesomeness. In the photo, they just look kind of weird. I'm thinking jeans or non-black bottoms with a neutral or pastel top - gorgeous with the blondeness and the glowing whiteness...
If I owned those pink Prada sandals, which by the way, I hate pink, I would find a way to wear them with every outfit I own. Those are some seriously cute shoes. Just slightly less cute than Ceiba. I also try to pretend my flip flops are fashion forward, luckily my husband doesn't notice.
Aw, poor cute little flip-flops!
I'm dying here - was that "I could never be a friend..." comment because the writer a) has some kind of wacky association going with Prada and thinks that if you buy Prada you're inherently a bad, stuck-up person, or b) one of those "OMG, if you have those shoes, you can't complain about money!!!," or c) both, and is a nutjob?
As I was reading your post, I was sitting at my desk (the kind of desk that happens to be in an office that requires business attire) tapping my pink plastic flip flop against my heel to create the most annoying slapping sound ever. This morning I woke up and rationalized wearing my pink plastic flip flops to work because they match my skirt and top and they're not dirty. Apparently, as long as they're not dirty they classify as office wear?
Also, for some reason, the pink Prada sandals rant reminds me of the movie '10 Things I Hate About You".
Girl 1: There's a difference between like and love. I mean, I like my Skechers, but I love my Prada backpack.
Girl 2: But I love my Skechers.
Girl 1: That's because you don't have a Prada backpack!
Girl 2: Ooooh, I get it!
Ok so it's funnier in the actual movie. I'll stop rambling now.
Amalah,
Thanks for making my day brighter:) This post helped me to forget that a trained monkey could be doing my job right now and that I should have just become a dental hygenist instead of majoring in Communication.
I think your pink Prada sandals are quite swanky especially since you got them at a kick ass price.
Screw those who cannot understand the joys of bargain hunting and Prada.
Have a fabulous week!
Al
Ugh the memory of when my dog was a puppy. The many shoes I lost.
Now I'm depressed.
I'm deeply sorry for your loss. But you know what this menas, right? At least 3 good excuses to go shopping.
Love the pink prada sandals! You need to find an outfit to go with them! So much fun! I love colored shoes like that! And love flip flops! i have pink ones too and my husband laughs at me! It does suck when you dogs destroy something, but they are so damn cute!
Screw the people that judge you on your shoes. Why do people care taht much? Your better off not having them as your friend! They are jealous of your shoes!
they were on sale.
they are prada.
they are pink.
they are yours and you love them. sorry about the flipflops, been there..but who doesn't love a flipflop? and just saying flipflop!
Might I suggest my footwear of choice, Reefs? They are virtually indestructible, and though I have caught my dog chewing on them MANY MANY TIMES, she has yet to inflict the slightest bit of damage to them.
I live in flip flops. In fact, it's the only thing my feet have been cradled in in MONTHS. Florida weather, casual, blah blah blah. It's this fact alone that may keep me from moving back to Massachusetts.
grrr. I wrote a big long comment that was not very nice because I was rather bothered by the tone of the comments as of late but I deleted it because I fear I would have been banned permanently from your site. All I have to say is this: I will personally take a second job just to keep you in pink prada anything as long as you stick around.
People are ridiculous. I LOVE your sandals and could care less if you paid full price or got them for free... you have a job, for chrissake! People need to bug off.
On another note, I can't believe your dog not only chewed up your flipflops, but she pretty much ate them for dinner. That's insane!
Well, I could never be friends with someone who one a pair of pink prada sandals. I require all of my friends to own at least 2 pair.
As for the flip-flops? It saddened my heart because they were sooo cute -- the first pair, especially.
I love lip gloss, too. I have close to 20, I guess. And I refuse to squash anything crunchy.
I must admit to wearing a pair of pink crocs every single damn day. I justify this by saying that it's because me feet are prone to blisters (they are!) and these shoes are just so fricking comfortable and they can't be THAT ugly.
Meanwhile, my best friend refuses to go out in public with me when I'm wearing them and my boyfriend openly mocks me every time I put them on. I know I have a problem, but I just love them too much to wear something else.
If it makes it any better, I own some other very cute shoes that are actually cute (some with kitten heels! I love kitten heels!). I occasionally wear these. And then I get blisters and go back to wearing my crocs.
Dude, my dog chewed up my plastic pink flip flops, too, but just the heel, and yes, I still wear them. Out of the house, even. My sister brought mine back from Australia telling me that they were not sold in any country but Australia. No kidding, saw the same dang flip flops at DSW or something not too long ago. But I'm still wearing the chewed-up heel ones that have a dirty foot print imbeded in them.
Today, I am wearing new shoes to work. New totally-not-flip-flop shoes and they are KILLING my poor tootsies and I would sell my soul to the Devil for a pair of those in your signature. Becuase while I have virtually almost no class, that little bit that I do have is all the prevents me from walking barefoot through this office. Sigh...
Flip flops forever (FFF).
BAD DOGGIE!
I love the pink prada sandals and maybe just becuase I like Pink, Sandals, and Prada and I dont care if people dont want to be my friend becuase I buy name brands. I also buy no name shit as well.
Love the pink flip flops...so sorry about what the dog did to them
She is so lucky she is cute!
what kind of dog is ceiba?
Don't feel bad - I broke down and bought a pair of Uggs. My best friend threatened to disown me, but good lord they are comfortable.
Pink Prada Sandals is Very! fun to say...would totally match what I have on right now. I totally get the shoe thing. I used the Virginia tax holiday to buy 3 pairs of shoes this weekend - how can you pass up 50% off AND no tax?? That's 55% off, right?
I have the solution. Just send me the Pink Prada Sandals, and all will be good. I'm happy to be the fall guy on this one.
I had a pair of Naot sandals, back when their designs were cool, about 4 years ago. (The new styles horrid looking.) I bought them and spent too much on them because they are comfortable. . . so comfortable. My FIL's dog ate the heel off of one this summer, and I have not been the same since. I totally feel your pain.
Please. There is nothing more fun and wonderful to say than Pink Prada Sandals. There should be a song. Love. And I think they are way cute by the way. Jason is wrong.
Love the pink prada sandals! But, what kind of flip flops are those? I sort of have a flip flop addiction and those look comfortable.
I have lost more money in shoes to dogs than I have ever spent on shoes total in my whole life.
Also? Did Jason encourage the eating of the shoes by the dog? Because Donnie has threatened to feed my favorite sandals to the dogs on a number of occassions and if they ever ended up chewed up? I would assume he was to blame.
I could buy about 4 pairs of full price Pink Prada sandals with the amount of money I have spent replacing shoes that one of my dogs has chewed up. One Saturday I lost 2 pairs, one of which I had only worn 2 times.
So now, all closet doors are shut and if you take off shoes outside of the closet, they must be off the floor. We put our shoes on the table.
And I always knew when said dog had chewed up shoes because I would get a phone call at work very early. And it would always be about the cats knocking shoes off the table and Pete eating them, while my lazy ass husband was still in the bed.
dog shoes are totally the new pink flip flops.
We can still be friends though, right?
Hello, my name is Katie and I am a shoe whore. Specifically, a flopaholic. And a brand slut.
Reef, Polo, LLBean - they're all good flops. All colors, although I truly appreciate the weakness for pink.
However, I refuse to pay full price for my addictive sweetness and find satisfaction in the slap-for-a-vein kind of way when getting a great deal on a new pair of shoes.
I stand with you in solidarity.
Awww, so sorry about the flip flops!
What's wrong with pink Prada sandals with jeans? Looks like it'd be a perfect match. (Provided, of course, that your jeans are not worn Britney-style, dragging 6 inches below your ankle. But, you know, duh.
I did not read the comments so perhaps I am bringing up a point that has been beaten over and over but I'm feeling especially lazy today. Anyway, what's Ceiba's beef with your left foot? I mean, could she have a more obvious hatred for the left foot and the adorable shoes that bedazzle it? Does this symbolize something larger? The need to kick her with the right foot more? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
(P.S. I don't beat my animals nor do I believe others should but I do wish the shoe makers of the world would stop making shoes out of snausages, my wardrobe & wallet beseech you!!)
Those ARE the cutest flip flops. I am a flip flop queen, but I have not seen those particular ones. (Psssttt! Where'd you get them at??) Ahem, are you sure Jason didn't have anything to do with that?
Reason #87 why I hate dogs.
oh, and I am ONLY friends with people who wear Prada shoes. Pink is a bonus.
Oh, boo. BOO.
I would weep uncontrollably if my dog tore up my $9.99 J Crew wedge flip-flops. My feet could not go on without them. I would have to take to my bed.
The #1 reason I may have to give up the legal profession? Can't wear flip-flops to work.
I own like 15 pairs of flip flops! I own flip flops in every color, I match my outfits to my flip flops, not the other way around! I would wear flip flops to work if they would let me!
Oh, and I love the prada sandals. I have lots of stuff that match them. Feel free to send them to me me if they are an 8!
Looks like Cesar Milan is needed in the DC Metro area.
so wait, did you pee on a stick or what?
KIDDING!
I love flip flops like it's my job. The pinker the better.
Those pink Prada sandals are so cute! Personally I would have to go buy a new outfit to justify their purchase to my husband. "See? If it weren't for the Pink Prada Sandals I would have nothing to wear with this outfit!" It's a vicious circle, really.
Does the old saying "jealousy makes you nasty" ring a bell?
They are just a bunch of spiteful, nasty, bitter old assholes who love nothing more than to rip into other people. Headed up by someone who is quite possibly the most common, nasty person I have ever had the misfortune of 'meeting'. It is true, they really do let just about any body in here.
You know what I found totally ironic, is how they were carried on afterwards about "ugly everyone is" who was at Blogher.... um, I don't mean to state the bleeding obvious, but have you looked in the mirror lately, because you know, people in glass houses and all that.
God, they just can't let it go, can they. As I said at the start, it would appear that jealousy does indeed make you very, very nasty indeed.
Fuck them. They would love to own a pair of Pink Prada Sandals.
Smooch.
I'm sorry Amalah, I can only be your friend if you buy me a pair of those delicious pink prada sandals.
There.
Did it work?
Props to your pink Prada sandals as an absolute bargain bonanza of which you are deservedly proud.
I have a shaggy coat I feel that way about.
I love love love my flipflops. The cheaper, the better. I go through multitudes of pairs every summer (not the least of which because my 2 cats seem to enjoy the taste of foam rubber, and eat every pair within a few weeks if I don't remember to put them up in the closet).
When my husband had his "bachelor pad" down on Connecticut Ave I used to hit the Filene's in Bethesda religiously. Nearly had a few throw-downs there, too - women can be ruthless when in competition for affordable couture!
I'm back because I'm having sympathy pains for the lost flip flops. (I have 11 pairs.)
Here are a few cute ones:

Wait, we can't wear pink flip flops out to dinner? I protest that. Especially pregnant. I dare people to comment on my flip flops at work. I DARE THEM.
Ceiba seems particularly fond of a certain strap on pink sandals, no?
I am firmly backing the wearing of flip flops to dinner. Or else I would ALWAYS wear the pink Prada sandals, like everywhere. Grocery store, playground, liquor store...you name it.
I do not understand flip flops or the interest in the color pink. I wear the ugliest shoes known to man, and those are Crocs. And they're navy blue. I am the least girly girl in the world.
It is therefore fitting that at our last ultrasound, I was informed i was going to be mom to a third boy. I think this is God's way of telling me, "It's okay to not like pink, because you're going to be surrounded by navy, khaki and who knows what else for the next 18 years."
Ahem.
That said, I am friends with girly girls, and love 'em to death. :)
What business is it of theirs if you have pricey brand name shoes or not? Its your life and your money... and besides we know that wearing fancy footwear can totally make your day better--says she sitting at desk in Michael Kors caramel sueded pumps--75% off!
So how many requests have you gotten from people asking you to pee on them?
Becareful what you threaten :)
Here I am...comment #69! LOL.
Amy, in the sea of folks you met at BlogHer I am SURE you don't remember me, but I am Leona (aka fishiemommy and friend of Sneadwoman).
I heard the story of your Pink Prada Shoes there, and I must say that as a fellow shoe freak, I have been having major shoe envy. And, I also think your hubby is wrong. They are quite lovely. And pink.
Thanks for your heartening story about your love of pink flip flops. I am in love with flip flops of all kinds, and I should post photos of my collection on my OWN blog soon. It would boggle the brain. My favorite pair are my black Reefs. They hug my feet just right, and always seem to be my shoe of choice. Black goes with everything, right? ;-)
Rock on with your Pink Pradas!
Leona
Now, the funny thing is... Ceiba's so small that she would make an adorable pair of flip-flops....furry flip flops...imagine! (Furry flip flops, by the way, comes a close second in the fun phrases to say department. Right after Pink Prada sandals.)
I have a Prada purse myself - (present from jerk ex, oddly enough) and anyone who would judge me for wearing it? Not worth my friendship, sez I. How do they know they weren't a present from Jason? And how is it any of their business?
On the flip-flop front: Yes, I am a shoe/flip aholic as well. By my current count, there are at least ten or twelve pairs of JUST FLIP FLOPS in my closet at the moment. And I want morrrrre!
Yeah for shoes. Boo for judgemental people.
I love a yummy deal from Filene's Basement. I have 2 pair of green shoes from there and love them. I wear them when I can, and truly, (this applies to red shoes too), it doesn't matter if they match.
Sucks about the flipflops. I only own 1 pair, and they are fully from Target. Little stinkers gave me blisters yesterday.
Er...(as I slip off my dog-skin shoes)...right, people who wear dog-skin shoes suck!
I'm not sure how you reprimand when you see that cute little face.
And if Prada made those shoes in orange, I would have been there in a heartbeat. Alas, no orange in my closet, but I've always thought of myself as an orange sort of girl.
Okay, I'm going to judge you for saying that those sandals don't go with anything you own. How can they NOT? After all, they are PINK. Pink goes with EVERYTHING.
Or am I the only one who thinks pink is a neutral?
Amy, I'll be friends with you. I own Prada shoes and I even buy them at full price from Saks or Bloomies, or your average snooty boutique. If you find bargain Prada shoes for me, I will buy myself and you each a pair. Pink, black, kitten heel, dog skin, whatever, bring it on sister.
My husband is often right about those things too. I am currently sporting a pair of red, plastic, $2.00 flip flops that he recently asked me to please stop wearing in public. Which means I will wear them in public until it is so cold my toes turn blue. Just because he's right.
Dude, how do you keep the insoles of your shoes so freakin' clean??? My swamp feet ensure that all of mine of grungy...
I am sick of this comment. I have typed it eleventy billion times and my sweet little baby (evil monster child!) has figured out how to delete it in its entirety with ONE keystroke every 2 seconds.
Quick version -- Jason wrong. Shoes cute. Would covet them even if they were not Prada. Love.
Also? Thinking you should invest in rat....er little tiny doggy muzzle ;) The shoe carnage must stop!
Sometimes, shoes just have to cost an arm and a leg.
Dahhhhling... pink sandals go with EVERYTHING!
Oh! Come on women.. haven’t we learned our lessons about accepting people for who they are- despite how much money they have/don’t have.. spend/don’t spend from such classic social humanitarian movies as “Pretty in Pink” and “Some Kind of Wonderful”??
Although I think there is such thing as obscene spending- it's exhausting to expect others to have the same sensitivities- Expecting someone else to stick to your convictions shows lack of self confidence with a healthy dash of envy... And a person shouldn't have to defend something like a pair of shoes by saying they were on sale.
Besides for all she, or we know you were raised in an orphanage where you ate gruel every day, washed clothes in a basin, wore painful wooden soled shoes- and fell asleep every night dreaming of the day you'd bust out- break free- claw your way to the top of the mommy blogs and realize your one dream of owning a full priced pair of pink prada sandals
But now, out of love for your child- you placed that one dream aside and went for the basement bargain pair.
Ummm..I must totally be white trash then, cuz I own 16 pairs of various flip-flops and one pair I even made into cute fringy ones w/ water balloons! I actually had over 80 pairs of shoes, but I had to give some old ones away...It was a sad day at my house.
But what I really wanted to say was 4 words: Ceasar The Dog Whisperer.
Well, I for one congratulate you on being just that girly and snagging the pink Prada sandals. On sale. Because sales are the best.
People chew my head off whenever I dare mention designer ANYTHING on my site. I once made the mistake of referring to my sunglasses as "Gucci shades" and received nothing short of 50 emails telling me what a show-off I was being. And when I asked the internet to pick out a dress for me, and I didn't even LINK to the dress, just posted the picture of it, they found the link and lectured me endlessly about how $375 was a ridiculous amount of money to spend on one dress and I should be putting it in my kids' college funds.
So, anyway, don't defend what you pay for your Prada (and adorable) sandals. If you've got it, spend it as you please.
As for the dog, well... I have no advice to give as what I really want to say would have PETA on my ass faster than P. Diddy.
I don't even wear pink and I like those sandals.
I think I secretly desire to be a girly-girl. Y'know, until someone puts lace next to me and tells me I have to grow my spike into long flowing locks.
Then? Then I have to reassess.
I would DIE if a dog ate my plastic flip-flops. And while I don't think that I would own Prada sandals, I think yours are fantastic!
It seems people surf the Internet just waiting for someone to do something they can rant about.
What size do you wear? If it's 8 (or reasonably close), I could totally be friends with someone who owns pink Prada sandals.
Sheesh. I went to the hater's website, and I just don't get it. Don't let them rattle you.
AGHK! The naughty-ness!
Here are some flip-flops that you will definitely be able to wear at dinner (and they're really, really girlie!). And it gets better...they have flip flops with kitten heels. Behold: http://www.flatteringflops.com
I don't discriminate on the basis of shoes. I'm perfectly satisfied hating you because you're thin. Or something. Let me know why I should hate you.
When I was a very, very poor student I dogsat for a week for friends with two miniature dachsunds. While I was sleeping, they ate the only bras I had been able to afford all year.
I suppose I might have been tempted to turn the dogs into bras if that weren't just gross.
And a little itchy.
I need to buy me some more pretty pink sandals. Not the shitty $1 ones either, cuz those just hurt my toes! Now you have an excuse to go buy some more shoes and darling Ceiba used them for chew toys!
I love those Pink Prada shoes!
They are so cute & girly!
Not one thing wrong with them..
I'm also very addicted to shoes-Im going to blufly.com to see what's there- LOL!
Cute puppy!
Hah. Prada shoes.
I'd be the sort to buy them just because OH DEAR LORD, PRADA SHOES WHICH I CAN ACTUALLY AFFORD, MUST HAVE.
And then they'd sit in my closet for years. And years. And I'd never throw them out.
I've done that with a pair of knee high boots. Don't ask. Never worn them out. Can't walk in them. But they're NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
-Aly
I think I may own more flip flops than you do. I wear them all year round.
But those pink prada sandals are way cute. If I owned those I'd wear them all the time much to the dismay of my army of flip flops.

PS - That rsm chick is a total snob! Self-absorbed hoor!
People who buy half-price D&G shoes (and think they are sooooooooo thrifty) shall not throw stones at those people who manage to undercut Bluefly.
Totally loving the Pink Prada Sandals. COMPLETELY. Ugly my ass... they are adorable.
As are flip flops. The love of my comfortable-only-wear feet.
The Internet really does love you, because I can't think of any other reason all these people are telling you that those Pink Prada Sandals are cute. Unless they're all delusional. You are very adorable, but those shoes? Got. To. Go. Now.
I guess it's a matter of taste, but a nice thing for you!
Finally! Someone else who won't kill crunchy bugs. There is no sound more disgusting than that if a crunchy bug being...well..crunched.
I'm also a fan of the flip flop, to the point where I can actually play basketball (effectively and well) while wearing them. I'm disproportionately proud of that fact.
Also, people really judge you based on shoes you merely mentioned? This is even lamer than the dress debacle.
Did you delete the offending bitchy comments? I'm such a whore for drama that I wish you'd keep them up but then I guess you'd be accused of sending your readers to attack the person or something like that.
But it only means good things when someone starts attacking you over petty shit like that. It means that you're big--a real net celeb. What sucks about that is that people don't always treat you like a real human being because they only see a facade of you but you've gotten so big that you actually have haters (and have for a while, really). You're like Britney Spears or something. :P
My feet are currently sporting a pair of three year-old, pink satin Jimmy Choo flip flops (with polish to match) and they will be more than happy to give a little booty-kick to anyone taking issues with your Pradas. Send the naysayers my way. I beg you.
Hey, I own a pair of car to bar Isabella Fiore three inch spike heels with a swirly pattern that go with absolutely nothing I own because my brother in law is an absolute doll. He is the shoe king and I have worn them once because I am an absolute klutz. KLUTZ!!!But these babies are gorgeous.
