Skulltini has arrived!

About two weeks ago, I raved and drooled over the Skulltini and I promised myself I won't impulsively splurge [post]. Hence, I waited one week to think about it... Screw that, it arrived at my place a week later via. shipping. Yes, I NEED this shoe.

Isn't the shoe box ....interesting?

Dun dun dun.... ! *suspenseful background music*

Jeffrey Campbell's Skulltini in Black/Gold

What a beauty!

I will die happy. It doesn't matter how I die. Kill me now if you must. My life is complete!

Unbeknownst to many (I really don't know how), the little gold studs are actually golden skulls. Turns out some people whom I've shown the pictures to originally thought the studs are spikes. Meh, I don't really like the spike trend that's arising. It's cute, but some designers are going to the extreme with it. Seriously, those spikes can hurt people!

Small golden skulls embedded into leather ~ 

So far, I've only worn it once. I am terribly afraid of wearing it. Isn't that odd? I wanted it, I needed it, and when I finally own it - I become fearful of it. 

I simply don't want tor ruin it. I am afraid I'll trip somewhere and scuff it. 

And you know what? I did scuff it! A part of me died when I found out. So for now, my Skulltini will take a break from exposure.

The short story of Skulltini's life span will end here.

MUST HAVE: Jeffrey Campbell's Skulltini

Once upon a time, I glazed my eyes over the Jeffrey Campbell's Skulltini and I sprouted wings just like the ones in the Red Bull ads. There are no words that I can possibly express the raging emotions charging over my body. I must have this!

What prevented me is its price tag of a whopping $180.  A quick google search found that Solestruck.com sells it for $160.  It's still pricey ~ what the hell?!

My wings broke off and I was left alone, spiraling downwards from sole heaven.

I am exaggerating now, but the remnants of Skulltini was engraved into my mind. I can't eat, sleep, or draw on my face without thinking about the shoe. I am being tortured!

I even asked my friends for advice, yay or nay? I got a lot of yay's, but the nay's asked me to be reasonable. Do I really need this shoe? No...I have a lot of shoes. But none of them look like the Skulltini. So frustrating!

Another nayer's told me they saw a replica of Skulltini at Aldo's for $80. Oh boy, I can laugh about this. I am not a fan of Aldo. They DO have pretty shoes, but they're are shitty quality and their price tag are just not worth it. I know because I own some.

I can't help but be very meticulous when purchasing shoes. I love my shoes for its quality, appearance, and duration. I love them even more when they're made of leather or suede. I can't help but be so anal about their composition.

Jeffrey Campbell's Skulltini is made of leather, except for the soles. Leather is durable and is a huge investment for this beauty to last a while.

So I've decided that I am going wait for a week and if I am still ripping my hair out because my feet have yet to slip into this fine beauty, then I will splurge on it. I will eat ramen for a week if it means my feet can be embodied by Skulltini.

I read the above statement over again and I realize how shameful I've become for shoes..

I blame Skulltini.
