WHAT IS A SHOE WITHOUT A STORY ATTACHED?
So, I remember when Chanel released their first espadrille, I saved up my first paycheck from a new job back in LA (I had just got back from NY - so circa 2013) and ordered them for myself - the Tan/Black colorway.
BUT..
it wasn't that easy, every Chanel store had a waitlist (you had to put your credit card down), Neiman's and Saks were completely sold out, and of course my shoe size is a 36 (which is very common). I was losing hope. However, the new Neiman Marcus in Topanga had just opened and found my size! I was so excited- for me every purchase I make by myself thru my paychecks, makes it that much more special.
They are so comfortable that I wore the *excuse my language* c**p out of them. On top of that, I was over at a friends house and their pitbull puppy had decided to get his paws on it and chew a whole in them. I legit sat on the floor crying, saying "I don't care how materialistic I look" but those had sentimental value per say.
After my heartbreak, I was like OK maybe I'll get a new pair for Hannukah or something. My mom suggested me taking them to the best shoe repair person in Beverly Hills, Arturo's - I blew her off at first than said whats the harm. So he fixed them completely, redid the sole, and they looked like new!

OF COURSE...
Since I got so much wear out of the OG's I decided, I needed the new version - however, winter was approaching so I wanted a darker color (navy/black), again my hunt began. Luckily I was able to get my hands on them a little bit easier.

BY NOW...you could call me obsessed, so when I saw the canvas style I was like Oh Em Gee! These are FABULOUS for summer. I mean Chanel is timeless right? Living in California, I'm down in Malibu a lot for the summer for pool parties, etc, these were perfect! I really wanted these turquoise and black pair, however, they were no where to be found, so I settled for the navy/black canvas. Even though I have the navy/black leather, the canvas goes with dresses, where the leather is a bit to heavy.

So I will leave you with a CoCo Chanel Quote (basic I know):
A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.
