They haunt my dreams
They were absolutely covetous. I can't say I've ever seen a more perfect sandal, and I can't get them.
Cathryn walked into the office a couple of weeks ago, fresh from Europe. I love Cathryn. I could just eat her up. She's completely adorable and pitch-perfectly dressed, all the time. The places she lives are the kinds of places that make you cry when you get home to your house after visiting. The friends she hangs out with have perfect hair, and perfect skin. Her parties are hipper than yours. But she's so sweet, it's impossible to feel anything mean toward her.
Until she showed me the sandals she bought in Greece. I fawned. I photographed. I fell for them. Here are some pictures. Maybe you will look at these and not be blown away by their gorgeousity. But therein lies their genius and charm. They are completely unassuming.
Naturally, I took down the company name and did all I could to track them down. Tragically, they are not available in the U.S., as far as I can tell, and no one from Kokka shoes responded to my e-mail. This makes me very sad. Though it does give me a good excuse to go to Greece.
I've been trying to find a suitably similar sandal. I think these, so far, are my best bet:
An important feature of the perfect sandal is the buttery softness of the straps, which these seem to have. And for $40, I think I might take a chance at them.
Also, friends, I need this dress. Who wants to buy it for me?
Patiently awaiting gifts,
April
