When I started craving these, they were already sold out at J. Crew:

But I found an eBay listing for a pair of size 7.5 Crosby lace-up peep toes in this beautiful shade of windsor grey. I normally wear 7; the eBay price was higher than J. Crew sale price (but only black left at that time)...all that didn't stop me from clicking "Buy it now", as I just couldn't afford being outbid this time. I love them as much as I do Bing Crosby; or rather, I knew I'd love them so much. Wasn't disappointed in the least! They were (two of) the best Christmas gifts for myself :)

With J. Crew Cotton cady Erica dress in fresh mint. I grabbed this garb half a year ago during a final sale for less than 50. Haven't been wearing it out though :'(
Can somebody please invite me to something, now that I have great heels to match??

They are two shades darker (I'm a prospective artist and color-sensitive, m'kay...) than I expected.
Still love them. They aren't too huge either, phew!
3 1/2" heel with interior platform really is comfortable. I can totally trot up and down the overpass (which I curse on a daily basis) in them to catch my bus. 95% of the time, I catch it ;)
