Bubblegum Shoes

I would do unspeakable things to own these shoes. Maybe that is a slight exaggeration, but still it is only a slight one! My current obsession is Melissa shoes - they're plastic, designer, smell like bubblegum, and oh so modern.

I had pangs of desire and simpatico when I first saw the Campana Brothers shoes several years ago. A couple of days ago, when I clinked on a link via Vogue magazine, the fires really started burning. I've since spent many hours exploring every page of the website, searched through dozens of blog entries, found website shops, looked at images of people wearing Melissa shoes via Flickr, found many other interesting online references, and still haven't had my fill!

All this shoe lust has been fun, but also completely work related. It has left me wondering what makes a product 'must-have'? There is a secret formula, I'm sure of it! I may have to continue the research...
