Hello, Kittens

March 10th, 2011 @ 4:14 pm by Mrs. Cinnamon Bun

Look what arrived at Casa Del Cinnamon Bun today!

A boring white box?

A flannel baggie and some tissue paper?

Ahhh, a shoe. :)

Even the bottoms are cute! (And I really need to give the house a sweep! That much dust after 10 minutes?!)

After my last post about shoes, I wasn’t sure about ordering them. I waited a couple days, and just decided to go for it, so I wouldn’t be pining over them, and trying to match all other shoes to these ones. I’m usually an 8 or 8.5 in heels, and I found a review that said that Miss Albright shoes tend to fit a little large, so I went with an 8. The exciting thing was that once I’d put my address in to the order form on Anthro’s website, the horrendous taxes & duty charges went down! Not down as far as I would have liked, but it was still a nice surprise to get $15 off. My guess is that it is because Alberta has much less tax than some provinces, and when I checked shipping/duty/tax before, I had just selected my country, not my province or postal code as well, and the default tax rate must be for BC or somewhere with higher tax rates.

They arrived this morning (sorry about the owl-print PJs and bedhead at 10AM, Mr. Postman. I work late so I sleep late!) and… THEY FIT! The great thing is that they are the tiniest bit loose, which is good for feet that swell by the end of the day. It also leaves me room to put in a squishy insole or something if I want. My mum loved them too, which is great. She said they looked like something Marie Antoinette would wear!

I’m so glad I ordered them when I did, because now they’re sold out on Anthro’s website, and won’t be available again until days before my wedding!

Was it hard to find your wedding shoes?

So great! I have been having a hard time finding yellow shoes that like! The only one’s I like I am afraid to buy since you can’t return them as they are custom designed through Nina.

I LOVE those shoes!!! I researched the style of shoes I wanted and found them, in the must-have purple suede, on Zappos.

Great shoes! I bet you feel like a million bucks walking around in those.

It was a little challenging to find burgundy shoes but I finally nabbed some on Zappos!

I’m not going to lie — I was SO afraid there were going to be actual kittens inside that box (which did not appear to have any air holes or to be big enough to fit multiple baby cats). Phew!
The actual box contents are soooo cute!

@Miss Ravioli: I kept looking at the Apple Green Nina has, and thinking about those - I’m glad I never bought them!

@jenniepumpkin: It isn’t in yet, but I think the embellishment on the shoes will mimic the embroidery on the dress perfectly!

@Miss Panther: No kittens, just kitten heels. ;)
