I went to DSW to pass the time today- believe or not I haven't gone to DSW since moving to LA!! In DC I would visit good old DSW weekly. The selection was quite good out here, I went to the quieter store in Studio City. I think it is smaller than the Hollywood store but I am sure much less picked over.
Because I am a label whore, this is my road map. 1.) hit designer section and adore the Christian Lacroix, Marc Jacobs, Moschino, and the likes 2.) snap out of it and realize while $300 is a deal compared to $900 I am not buying 3.) find my way to the clearance section 4.) become a label whore again and hit the designer clearance section.
In that section I found nice shoes, not all of them were in my size though :( I found a cute pair of Betsey Johnson, Marc Jacobs, a lot of Kate Spades and some Missoni. I was forced to use my judgment and not spend all of my money. So I walked away with a pair of Kate Spades that were on clearance for $99 then 70% off. They are pretty silly looking but I can totally pull them off. They are a clear jelly wedge heel with a silly Minnie Mouse looking bow on the front. I got 'em pink. Hello $29.... you can't go wrong.
