OMG, I saw these tri-colored Celine sandals in a magazine and haven't stopped drooling since.

And more colors at http://www.celine.com/en/
(unfortunately, no direct links; you have to go to Collection - Shoes - High fashion). Check out those turquoise/fuchsia ones.

Wow wow wow. Now, I don't wear heels like that ever, and I would never pay $700 for any type of shoes or item of clothing. But I am tickled even just looking at them.

If anyone sees a knockoff with lower heels and a fifth of the price (yeah, right), please let me know

They are SO cute! It kills me that one of the options is just plain brown. Who would spend all of that money for such adorable shoes and then choose plain brown instead of any of the other amazing color combinations?! If I were you, I would try to find every website showing them (try shopstyle.com to give you a rundown) and then track them religiously to see if they go on sale. At that price, there is a chance they might be marked down eventually.

Antje, I LOVE Céline! I mean, I love to ogle Céline!

I was at Neiman Marcus today, and they are just kicking into sale mode. I didn't look at shoes, and I'm not even sure they carry Céline (I was too chicken to ask because I knew I wouldn't be buying anything and didn't want to bother them). But, they do carry a lot of other designers, like Marc by Marc Jacobs and Chloé, Tori Burch (which I hadn't ever seen before but has some really fun stuff), DVF, Vera Wang, etc. Anyway, some of the sale prices were actually "reasonable." Stuff that was $700 or $500 is now down around $200, and DVF and Tori Burch (which are less to begin with) were down under $200, with some pieces actually being less expensive than J. Crew or Banana is at full price. I guess I never thought about designer stuff being on sale. There seemed to be lots of 6s and 8s left, which would be great for me, hee hee! Anyway, $200 is nothing to sniff at, but you might think about shopping the sales and seeing if you can find the shoes. They're really cute.

Fortunately, those heels are too high for me (I draw the line at 2 inches, and even that is rare for me except with boots). Otherwise, I'd be seriously tempted to become a sale sniffing blood hound I'll have to be content to look at them a few times a day and dream.

Nothing wrong with being a sale sniffing blood hound Antje!

The shoes are gorgeous indeed.

Gorgeous shoes!

Great taste Antje! Those shoes make me happy just looking at them!

Ana, your right that contemporary designers like Tory Burch, etc on sale are not that much more expensive than Jcrew or Banana at regular price. A friend of mine and I normally hit up the year end sales at Holt Renfrew (a canadian dept store) during their last chance sale when items are up to 70% off and we always manage to walk away for a few pieces. They are normally in the $200 range which is more than I would spend normally, but I try and look for classic pieces that will last me a while. I was able to pick up some beautiful pieces this way.

Tory Burch has some beautiful items in her spring/summer line...good use of colour, and lots of clean lines. Another good contemporary designer, that you might like is Nanette Lapore. Not *too* expensive regular price (well...for designer)....but of course sale prices are even better!

Thanks Aisha! I love Nanette Lepore, her stuff is fun but not usually too out there.

I've been looking up higher end consignment shops here in Austin, too. There are two that I've identified as being good possibilities for regular shopping places, and carry designer stuff. Do they have those in Canada? That might be another possibility for you, as you can find a lot of stuff at one of those places for under $150, and if you find a good one, they don't usually buy items that aren't in pristine condition--some things even still have tags!

Shoes like this belong in a museum, not on a person's foot. They're a work of art indeed.
