Pedicure Incentive

I know the shoe/thong/sort of gladiator butohsomuchbetter/sandal are all over L.A. already but they are only slowly creeping into the Canadian market - and even then not at an affordable rate. Not that cost has ever stopped me from falling in love before. I searched for them last summer to no avail, but it looks like this year they may be everywhere.
Another possible alternative to this is leather spats over my current sandals - which is an idea that only occured to me today when i saw a tres cute pair of leather spats at Eugene Choo.
