(Feb.10.10)
We were all tickled pink when Pretty Ballerinas opened their first North American boutique last fall in the heart of Westmount. These trendsetting slippers grace the feet of many lucky women, including tons of celebs.
With innovative designs that are funky yet feminine, I feel like a schoolgirl when I have a pair on. (Though infinitely more chic.)
I’ve just learned that they’ll be selling this fun shoe pack as of March 1st. The Fashion Emergency Pack: Only Open When Heels Are Killing You will retail for $175.
Aside from being cute and clever, the packaging is exceptionally thin so it will travel well in a suitcase or carry-on bag. It makes a fun (and thoughtful!) gift, especially in anticipation of the upcoming bridal shower season.
And of course, the pack fits inside a large purse, ready to be whipped out at a moment’s notice in the event of actual aching tootsies. (Ashleigh’s post on sore feet might have had a different outcome if they were available last year…)
Thought that was sweet? You’ll enjoy:
• Sin vs. Sweet: Bootie Slippers
• Rosegold Shoes
***P.S. Don’t forget that the second part of Sonia Rykiel’s collaboration with H&M will be available exclusively at the H&M store in Rockland as of February 20th. A knitwear collection for women and girls ages 1.5 to 8 years old.
