Absolutely LOVIN' the strength of the AUD right now!

I finally bought a pair of flats I've been coveting since FOREVER! They retail for about AUD 610 in Australia (rip-off!) but in the US it only costs USD 440. Can you guess what they are? Hint: Patent leather, with a pretty trademark bow design on the front!

C'mmon...



You can do better....





Tada!
Salvatore Ferragamo Varina flats in black patent leather.

And you know what the best part was? I got them on SALE! Wheeeee! So happy *jumps up and down. I initially wanted a pair that was nude instead of black, but unless I magically expand my feet to size 9.5 I don't think it's a good idea getting shoes that will look like small boats on my feet. :\

The flats + shipping from the US cost me less than AUD 400. How awesome is that? :D

Now I just can't wait for them to arrive hehehe.

  1. lol i got the exact same pair even cheaper, 300USD from woodbury (factory outlet in NY). exchange rate back then was about 0.98? and that wasn't on sale in the US... you gotta go there yourself

  2. Glad you got a bargain too! My pair actually came to AUD317 so that was a pretty good price, shipping was an additional AUD 40+!!

    I've heard about Woodbury, would love to head back to the US for a holiday one day!
