I know you're a shoe lover, so I thought I'd ask. Are you a fan of badgley mischka shoes? If so, how is their sizing? I normally wear either a 7.5 or 8 depending on brand and I found these shoes NWB on eBay for only $50. They are normally 215.

Re: Puppy
You might try the Off Saks store at the Outlet Mall. Just an FYI, though, they pop up on Ruelala and Ideeli all the time for around the same price and you can often buy them at Neiman's on sale for well under $100.
These are all an extra 30% off but will end up 50% at some point...

Thanks! I think these are recently discontinued so that may work.
Also, I'm kind of lazy and don't want to drive to the outlet mall so I may just buy the $50 ones and sell them if they don't fit.
people have been re-pinning them like crazy on pinterest, so somebody will surely buy them!
