shoes I did not buy in Lviv

(Wishing a Happy Mothers Day to my mom, who gave me my love of beautiful shoes.)

If I lived in Ukraine, I would have a shoe problem. 

This first one, I did try on, and felt a little like Cinderella's ugly stepsister when I couldn't jam my giant foot into it. That's Italian leather, baby. 


Even in my imagination, I can't walk in these. Especially in the cobblestoned streets of Lviv. 


A skull and chain, paired with polka dots and bows. Spike was enthralled. 


Glass insets, just to set this gorgeous shoe apart from the other gorgeous shoes. 


I would have tried this one on, had the store been open. Tiny beadwork, delicate lace inset, and a very cute buckle. 


Bejewelled shoe-under-glass.
