Did you mean the Ralph Lauren "Cecilia" espadrille? I can't find a style called Celine. :( Do not like the Cole Haan blue option, I think you're absolutely right to stick w yellow. I think the topstitching around the opening of the CH wedges does not look very Quality, even if you could find your size I wouldn't get those unless they were on sale/cheap.

Otoh the Ralph Lauren Cecilia espadrille looks like kind of a nice shoe.
― lets just remember to blame the patriarchy for (in orbit), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 01:12 (thirteen years ago)
Yes Cecilia is the one. The marigold shantung feels like it is right.
I see what you mean about the Cole Haan re topstitching. They are a little *too* casual/office-looking.
Plus the ralph laurens are like HALF the price

Excellent!! Even if the Cecilias aren't the most comfortable shoes in the world, they're bright and cheery and half the price.

― phil-two, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 18:21 (thirteen years ago)
I did one of my favorite things at lunchtime todayI went to Saks 5th Avenue outlet store and tried on all the expensive crazy high heels they have on clearanceI never buy them, just every now and then I like to see if they will fit me and lol at how crazy high they are.
reading that back it sounds like a lame version of breakfast at tiffanys but seriously it's fun

― phil-two, Friday, 7 June 2013 02:32 (thirteen years ago)

― phil-two, Friday, 7 June 2013 02:34 (thirteen years ago)
on reflection all my visvims turned out to be pretty shitty shoes, glad i sold them
― the late great, Friday, 7 June 2013 06:13 (thirteen years ago)
i dig the idea of embroidered canvas sneaks but i can't get down with that price tag, not into paying luxury rates for faux naive folk art
― ⚓ (elmo argonaut), Friday, 7 June 2013 13:39 (thirteen years ago)
you could just get a pair of chucks and some DCM embroidery floss @ $0.30 per skein but
― ⚓ (elmo argonaut), Friday, 7 June 2013 13:42 (thirteen years ago)

― phil-two, Friday, 7 June 2013 16:19 (thirteen years ago)
Sure, for $650.

According to the Tretorn website, the closest place to Oxford St where I can buy Tretorns is here

― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 22 July 2013 10:53 (twelve years ago)
i mean
i guess that is somebody selling them on eBay out of their garage?
i went to a fancy sneaker shop on Carnaby St and nobody who worked there had ever heard of them
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 22 July 2013 10:54 (twelve years ago)
lol i wore no socks with converse about two weeks ago, as it was so hot, i still bear the stigmata.
― Shamrock Shoe (LocalGarda), Monday, 22 July 2013 11:00 (twelve years ago)
that is precisely what i just did with new purcells
― r|t|c, Monday, 22 July 2013 11:07 (twelve years ago)
ok i just called the head Tretorn office in Sweden. no shops in France or England. what happened to these guys?? Tretorns used to do big fucking business when i was growing up. random girls in Knoxville would be rocking Tretorns.
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 22 July 2013 11:08 (twelve years ago)
(xp well not new actually tbh, i got them off ebay expecting they'd be broken in but appara not cos it's only my blood on them now)
― r|t|c, Monday, 22 July 2013 11:10 (twelve years ago)
uniqlo sell a lot of those short socks in some decent colours. i already had some when i decided it was too hot to wear them, genuinely still hurts each time i put the converse on now.
― Shamrock Shoe (LocalGarda), Monday, 22 July 2013 11:17 (twelve years ago)
yeah i had to gingerly tiptoe into sainsburys to buy a pair, and some plasters
not really a fan of those short socks at all though
― r|t|c, Monday, 22 July 2013 11:19 (twelve years ago)
every pair of doc martens i ever tried, socks or not, mangled some tiny bone in my heel so thorougly that i'd limp for days afterwards. in fact i attribute my feet's incompatibility with docs as the primary driver behind me not getting into the smiths, throwing muses or the cure and getting into metal instead
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 22 July 2013 11:22 (twelve years ago)
i find normal socks look a bit dumb with shorts but i don't wear shorts that often.
xpost i once had a pair of adidas i got off ebay and there was no discernible pain at first, but after walking ten minutes with them they seemed to pinch some specific nerve just around the bridge of my foot, causing agony. it was as if you were having some medical emergency or something.
― Shamrock Shoe (LocalGarda), Monday, 22 July 2013 11:24 (twelve years ago)
idk about bone mangling but docs have done a number on me too in the past. it's perfectly natural for a wide variety of quality shoes, just my repeated idiocy in not prepping every time is the most irritating thing
― r|t|c, Monday, 22 July 2013 11:27 (twelve years ago)
i would imagine the heel-wearing ladies of ilx are rmde-ing hard at us right now
― r|t|c, Monday, 22 July 2013 11:28 (twelve years ago)
I have tretorns but I got them in the states. Can you not get em in the UK then?I love my DMs but they destroy my ankles. I know I need to break them in (they're abt 15 years old lol) but how can I when the PAIN
