my christmas SHOE miracle

I found these shoes about two or three months ago and fell in LOVE.  Unfortunately for me, they were completely sold out everywhere - I'm talking not a single pair existed above a size 5.5 in the world.  Well as I was wandering through Bloomingdales today I saw them and almost died.  Thankfully ( I mean I really thanked God for this, as sad as that sounds), they had two pairs left - one pair in my size.  Needless to say, I immediately bought them (after consulting my mother over the phone) and almost skipped out of the store with excitement.

These are shown in black, but I've also seen them in white.  Nordstrom says that they run small, but after trying them on, I'd say that they run a little large (part of that may be because it's wintertime). Priced at $200, I'd say they're TOTALLY worth it!
