Melissa Shoes

[aekastar]

Randomly, when I was looking at some fashion photo set on flickr, I ran across someone wearing melissa+campana shoes. at that point, I didn't know they were plastic; I was just looking to get a pair in exchange for the red shoes that didn't work which I got on my bday (I would've just gotten a half size up, but no site sold that size), so was looking at all flats.

The word jellies was almost a turn-off, but after reading enough about how they differ from others and smell like fruit (!!!), I think I must have them.

Sadly, they didn't come in colours I would've rather had them in like black or red (at least not at stores in English.. hah. kanji anyone?), but purple may just work.

Here's the main website with all the designs: http://melissaaustralia.com.au/

The place I plan to get them from is here: Unsung Designers

I was going to tell you to go ahead and just bid on the maggies but WTH?! Those don't look like my jeans. The maggies I have are really dark and have that vintage/broken in feel and look. They are seriously the softest, most comfortable jeans ever. And yet, they are made of thick, real denim and not that pseudo-denim that so many "jeans" seem to be made of anymore. And they cost somewhere between $110-120 a pair. I forget the exact number but it's certainly not the $98 the seller claimed... plus, the jeans in the photo look kinda wide at the bottom. maggies have a slight flair. more than a bootcut but not bell-bottomy.

here's what they should look like:


btw, i think i'm wearing them in every picture of us from fall/christmas if you need a better reference.

Yeaaah... I'm starting to think some of these listings aren't authentic and / or scams. at least the ones that start out super cheap. also, I noticed one person was selling lucky jeans for $16 saying they no longer needed them since they were 'with baby' and they had the same jeans listed a few billion times... it almost makes me wonder if the story is fake. even if not, I have seen some people list things like computers saying they got a desktop thus no longer needed the laptop yet the same story appeared in a few listings... having more than one laptop of the same type to get rid of made me think they stole them from the back of a truck :P
Especially since it was a mac up for around $400 practically new (well, it's the new model, so..)!

I did go to the lucky jeans website and saw a few lil' maggies for $98, but none of them had back pockets like that. same with the sweet dream jeans.. the back pocket was completely different! also, the tag is not in plain view which makes me rather skeptical.

The lola bootleg I was waiting on (link) did have the tag on and the back pocket was as it was on the website, so at least they're probably authentic.. still worried about how they'd fit. maybe I can make it to the store before its end date of Thursday to try them on. if not, maybe they'll get relisted if no one bids! :D

(yeah, I did take a look at a few of our past photos for reference... heh. I really do research when I'm interested in something ...in a rather obsessive way! ;D)
