Pretty Ballerinas Collection 2009

My international scout has just reported in from London with a drool worthy shoe find!

Amy is the most traveled, fashionable friend I have and her conversations are often peppered with statements such as, "Have you ever had the mint tea in Belgium?", or "When I was living in Vietnam..."

So, when I received an email from her saying she had scored another great find abroad, and would be arriving stateside with a catalogue for moi and hard evidence to boot, I began champing at the bit.

Sunday morning I arrived at Amy's new G'town digs for bagels and Pretty Ballerinas. She served up brunch, I tried on flats.

After some serious perusing of her Pretty Ballerinas purchase, I started some virtual shopping of my own while rudely devouring cinnamon bagel poppers and my new catalogue.

I mean if they are good enough for Kate, Claudia, Amy and the rest of the international crowd...

Although, I tend to wear mostly sandals, sandals and the requisite Rainbows all summer, there is nothing wrong with getting a jump start on my fall shoe wardrobe.

It may just take me that long to narrow down my choices...

Or, decide to go for broke and get them all. Sorry Babe, c'est la mode...

Kindness of the internationally chic Amy Fahrenkopf...
