Hurray for the Huarache!

This is not a personal assault on Tory Burch and her hack design team, as much as it's insulting that they would try to assault our finances with such hack items.

Exhibit A

The Huarache
Known as Chancleta in Spanish
Better known as Chacla..

When we had a place in Mexico as a child, Huarache's were cheap leather sandals, with soles from recycled tires that you would buy and spend the entire summer wearing with your bathing suit. Not so much as a fashion item but a summer staple..

Fast forward 20 years. Today our dear friend Tory Burch of the impeccable ballet slippers has given us a new and updated version of the Huarache for a price on steroids.

Tory Burch Anya Sandal $250


Advertised as a day to night sandal, trust and believe that the soles of your feet will be hotter than fish grease pounding the New York pavement for a day in the these puppies, which is not to say that you won't be cute, but you'll be blistered and sore...

Luckily our favorite resident knock off hack, Steve Madden understands that in order to be able to buy season tickets to the Hollywood Bowl for the summer, a girl's gotta have some cash in her wallet...

Introducing The Addisonn Sandal Priced to move at $69.99
Anyone who dares tell you that your Addisonn sandal isn't cute, isn't really your friend anyway. Plus the only way to get tix to the Femi Kuti, Santigold, Raphael Saadiq Concert at the Hollywood Bowl is to buy 5 at a time, which means I'm gonna need some cash in my BANK, not just on my feet!
