ONE WORD: OBSESSED.

This is probably what LSD would look like as a shoe.

HEELS DESTROY BOTH my feet and my will to live, which is probably why I have an unhealthy obsession for flats. Especially versions that deviate from the usual round-toed basics that permeate the shops, both virtual and physical.

So when I happened to come across these whilst trolling the Market section over at The Coveteur, I basically sat there for a minute and allowed my pupils to dilate.

Jenni Kayne Patchwork flats, USD 695 [HERE]

Made of kid skin/ leather

The patchwork detail on these keep them from being a boring basic, and the shape of these are equal parts going-out shoe as they are pyjama slippers. Totally obsessed. I love me some confused footwear!!

Man. I think I've found the holy grail of flats and JENNI KAYNE MAKES THEM.

... Now excuse me while I go attempt to win the lottery.

Sneaker Freaker, Faux Python Skin Edition

ph. pixiemarket

USD $96 [here]

WHAT IS IT about these sneakers that have me salivating uncontrollably?

Could it be the fact that these are equal parts boot and sneaker? Or is it simply that in lieu of traditional laces, there is a zipper that goes down the front; a zipper that basically negates all the fiddly knots and the Virgoean worrying that laces will come undone at any given moment?

Whatever it is, no snakes were harmed in the making of this shoe, which really deserves a super duper thumbs up in itself.

Is it just me, or is there something distinctly mesmerizing about being able to see one's own foot through a plastic strip of shoe? 

If I owned these bad boys, my brain would be constantly preoccupied thinking of things like, "There is a see-through strip on my shoe that makes my foot look like it's totally part of the shoe ... is that weird? ... That's totally weird" because I am obviously a child, and I can't seem to find a way to grow up and start ruminating on more important things like the greenhouse effect.

Also, I kind of enjoy the fact that these look about as sturdy as a tank and would be totally ready for anything you decide to put them through.

Kind of like Doc Martens ... or Captain America.
