now there’s a title i never thought i’d write.  true, at $247, it’s not exactly a deal in the truest sense of the word…but this oh-so-classic calfskin slingback from manolo blahnik is marked down 50%, and available in all sorts of sizes (and two colors)…and that’s just something you don’t see every day.  so, i’m calling it a deal-slash-worthy investment…i think it’s the best of both worlds.

you may have to call the store to order, but nab it now…before everyone else discovers all of the fab finds over at footcandy’s pre-fall sale.
