These sandals are THE shoes of the summer.  And I have to admit, I went crazy looking for them as soon as I saw them on Carrie in the SATC Movie.  Of course, she had on the Dior version,  Dior Extreme Gladiator Sandals, (left) which retail at $770.  The Madden version, Steve Madden Madalynn Gladiator Sandals (right), are much less expensive at very low $109.95 (“very low” compared to the Dior ones!). I looked all over Bend for the Maddens and when I couldn’t find them, I looked around for some that at least looked similar to them. I looked all over: Famous Footwear, The King of Sole, Ross,TJ Maxx…no luck.  So I went to my favorite online shopping store, Victoria’s Secret (they are my fave because the sizes are always reliable–which is a MUST when you are shopping online).  VS carries Steve Madden shoes, as well as other name brands, such as Colin Stuart, Jessica Simpson, Guess, just to name a few. But unfortunately, they did not have the Madalynns.  But as I was browsing around, they did have Colin Stuart Strappy Platform Sandals (below) for the clearance price of $49.99. It was love at first sight!  And indeed, I had to have the python print ones (Hello, Lover!). It felt kinda good to know I was going to be a little different than everyone else…
