Every detail including latest prices & fit | Chanel Ballet Flats review
With Chanel’s infamous price hikes, Chanel ballet flats are seriously expensive starting at $975 USD in 2024. Considering that in 2008, they cost $550 USD, it’s actually kind of nuts… actually, a ~77.27% price increase for a pair of shoes (over 16 years) is all the nuts (and especially includes “premium” cashews). … but here’s…

The ugliest, yet comfiest clog | A Birkenstock Boston review
I’m pretty sure that Gucci Princetown mules was the kindling to this. … and Isabel Marant’s Mirvin shoes was the match that must have lit it up. All I know for sure is that a slew of designers (Marni, J.W. Anderson, and by the time this goes to publication, multiple others…) are putting out their…
