It is four o'clock in the morning and I am here to tell you about my latest internet shopping obsession. Nothing exciting, really. But really, can a girl ever have enough shoes... ever? Don't answer that.
It seems as though the Jelly Flats are making their comeback this spring/summer (once again). Last year, we saw some really cool stuff from Givenchy with their cut-out sandals and some affordable and fashionable gladiator shoes from low-end brands such as Topshop and Payless. This year, things are looking a little different. Instead of relying on simplicity, designers have pulled out all sorts of embellishments, ranging from bows, rhinestones, studs, and cut-out decorations, to jazz up these magnificent squishy creations. I'm noticing that Jelly Flats are becoming less about functionality (not just reserved for those nasty rain days!) and more about unique design.
Speaking of unique (or rather, a lack of), I was surprised that MJ didn't kick butt with something amazing this season. Instead, he came out with these outdated, slightly boring cutout, tie, jelly wedges that look really similar to Givenchy's design (but not as cool) from last year. Totally something I've already seen before and totally not worth 100 bucks...
My favorite has to be the Vivian Westwood bow flat. They are so cute! I love the giant bow and the leopard print insole. The Ferragamo Jelly Flats, on the other hand, look pretty terrible. Cheap but not chic. Just because you stamp an expensive label on a cheaply made shoe doesn't make it nice, people.
