The d'Orsay

I am officially gooly-eyed and drooling over these --these perfectly designed, fantastically classy, and outright clean and timeless shoe.  I want.  No.  I NEED.  And I am very much in shoe-love with the d'Orsay flat.  Look at her.
Jenni Kayne Suede D'Orsay Flat $450
What is a d'Orsay, you say?  According to a simple Google search, a d'Orsay is a "a woman's show in which the vamp of the shoe is cut away very close to the toe box, and the sides are cut away, revealing the arch of the foot." (About.com).

Jenni Kayne, Phillip Lim, and Alice + Olivia are among a few high-end designers that carry d'Orsays in a variety of heart-stopping styles. Jeffrey Campbell, Nasty Gal, and ShoeMint also make a few slightly more affordable pairs.  However, if you're young-ish and broke like me, then here are some way cheaper alternatives that are just as cute!
BDG D'orsay Skimmer $29 from Urban Outfitters
Studio Flats $38 from Need Supply Co.
Dolly Blush D'orsay $21 from Lulus
Breckelle's Dolly Ankle Strap $20 from ZooShoo

And THAT is as far as my online hunt goes for tonight.  I am waiting on Lulus to restock their d'Orsays so I can get one in every colour!  In the meantime...I'm contemplating the white leather ones from Nasty Gal...mmmm.
