After a good long hiatus from shoe-buying, I have finally succumbed once again to my addiction and not only bought a new pair of shoes, but paid full price for them. Shock and horror, I know!

But I just didn’t have the willpower to wait, and I was paranoid they’d be sold out in my size if I waited for them to go on sale. And now I have a brand new beautiful pair of Kaju by Giraudon boots in a gorgeous pewter metallic leather.

I like to think of them as my Peter Pan boots, and I’m sure you can see why:

For a while they weren’t on the Giraudon website, but now they’re up and you can buy yourself a pair here if you’re so inclined and want to shell out the $240 for them. It may be a bit on the high side, but I can’t rave enough about Giraudon shoes. They’ve got the perfect blend of classic and funky for me, and they’re crazy comfortable (plus, I can get my orthotics in this particular pair).

One word to the wise, though, about the boots. I love em, because they’re narrow enough for my small ankles and calves (circumference about 13 1/2″), but if you need wider calf widths, you’d definitely need to get these stretched.

And now, second to the right and straight on til morning!
