Praying for my shoes of prey

After a whole weekend of searching for perfect ankle boots (both online and offline that is) I decided to finally give it a go: I ordered my personally designed pair of shoes at www.shoesofprey.com. And boy, did I have fun during the process! I must have clicked on the “buy now” button at least ten times to recheck the colors, the size and the model. Because, when you think of it: a lot could go wrong.

Now, I can only impatiently wait to see, smell, test and hopefully wear the result of my nerve wrecking quest. And waiting I will; my babies (I have every right to call these shoes my babies, after all I put my heart into their design and my funding into their making…) are only ready to be shipped 2nd of May. That means 8 weeks of waiting for what could be the perfect pair of shoes, or a waste of my time and money.

If it turns out the shoes are perfect, I have a lot more designs in my head to be realized! And if it goes wrong: a lesson learned…In the meantime, I can only pray for my shoes of prey to be nothing less than perfect. But seriously, how wrong could a tan leather ankle boot with snake skin detail be?

Obviously, I'll make sure to show them on the dressing party as soon as I lay my hands (feet!) on them.

Oh and if this post puts you in the mood to order your own pair: make sure to check the colors on the examples in the gallery! Below some of my favorites.
