It's not really in my nature to harp on about the 'fashion dilemmas' going on in my life.  I prefer to dwell on the 'Isn't this new skirt amazing?' as opposed to 'Oh my god...life is so bitterly hard because I've lost a skirt....'.   

However, I feel that I'm entitled to indulge once in a while and since ye readers have been giver of many an intelligent comment in the past, input on this occasion would be gladly appreciated.  So true to my word, I wanted Miu Miu TEA action, not tee... as in the Miu Miu teacup heels you see above as depicted in the latest issue of Nylon (Did anyone else feel that a Victoria tea set might have been more apt in the setting?  Jonty Hearnden would know just the sort to put there...).  I have the the right amount of moolah all set and ready to spend NOW, but on Saturday when I set out in the rain to Miu Miu on Bond Street, I was merely one of those feeble browsers.  Fortunately, it was all lush carpet and nicities in there but suffice to say, I fear I'm really much too late.

There is a one pair of size 38 (which is my normal Miu Miu size) left in the creamy white (above) but alas as I was walking around in the shoes, I did feel a bit of a pinch in the toe.  Back of the shoe is all fine and dandy but it was a wee bit pinchy in the front.  Dusky pink which would have been my first choice but again, I'm late and they're all out.  Saks Fifth Avenue offers all sorts of size options but in black and red which really translates to the slightly bland realms of patent-dom.  Afterall, there are tea cups involved in these shoes.  Why try to dull them down with black or red? 

Nice ladies in Miu Miu did say that patent stretches a little and having called up 'Miu Miu Europe' (whatever that means...), there are also none left leaving me with the cream 38's.  So I guess the question is a) do I buy the toe pinchers and hope that patent does indeed stretch out a bit, b) go for dullard black or red (crossed out by default because I reaaaalllly am not keen on either of those colours...) or c) spend the moolah on something else... 

I have realised, that I've probably shot myself in the foot by posting this and a 'fat Susie hater' might just pop into Miu Miu and snap up said shoes... but I'm hoping it works both ways and whoever I've helpfully informed in the past will step up and offer their 'two pennies' on this teacup situation...
