Introducing…Shoe Candy!

I have to admit, I have a bit of a problem. Accessories are my weakness, shoes are my Achilles heel (no pun intended). So if I obsess every now and then, bare with me. I’m in love…

 These babies I snatched up at Forever21 this past weekend. I tweeted about them on Saturday. Apparently they are actually Miu Miu knockoffs…pretty damn good ones I must say considering the F21 pair are $25.80 and the originals are $590:

Anyway, I plan to debut them during fashion week if the powers-that-be don’t frown on me for wearing F21 knockoffs *shrugs*. In the store, I contemplated getting the black pair on the left with tiny white polka dots, but decided the floral ones were more fun and adventurous…

So, it has come to my attention that many of you beauties are shoe aficianados like myself.  For those of you who share my insanity for shoes, now YOU can contribute to LoveBrownSugar!
