Last year I was obsessed with them. I had to have them. In that one colorway, which everyone Lizzy, Liza, and Yara made wore at their feet. Everyone had them, everyone, except me… They were sold out everywhere in my size, a typical case of bad luck. Bad luck that you can do absolutely nothing about, and that you ultimately have to get over like a grown-up with a grunt and a sob.

It was a bit hard to swallow, but in the end, I really came to terms with it. The shoe and I are not a match. My mourning process was not exactly quiet, because even at home, my dear was aware of the sneaker situation. And what turns out, he really listened to my grumbling. Because guess what I got for my birthday last week. Just, just, just in from the latest collection: the Sandro Flame sneakers. In an even cooler color combination than last year, you understand.

Oh, and if you happen to have more luck than I did last year: perhaps your size is still among them and you can shop them here.
