I have a shocking confession to make…I have never shopped at Balisi. Scratch that…I have never shopped at Balisi until a couple of weeks ago. Why not? I guess I never knew that they carry such an awesome selection of cool and unique shoe styles. After searching high and low for a pair of Melissa x Vivienne Westwood Lady Dragon shoes, I (luckily) stumbled upon Balisi’s website, and promptly made my way over to their Queen Street location.
Not only was I pleasantly surprised by their extensive Melissa stock, but they also had non-rubber shoes galore! And, on top of that, the store was having a 40% off sale all weekend long. How cool is that? So not only was I able to satiate my plastic heart craving (it really is a sickness…help me?), but I got to drool over some really amazing pairs of shoes too. Not one to selfishly keep these beauties to myself, I thought I’d share some photos with you. All of these pairs (except for the creepy rat shoes) have tugged at my heart strings, but being a good girl that I am (yeah, right!), I walked away only with what I came for…not that it means that I won’t be making another trip to Balisi soon, because I will, as I’m definitely a convert…especially if they keep having these awesome sales…wink*wink*nudge*nudge.
PS. So these rat shoes definitely creeped me out. Totally the opposite of the cute Marc Jacobs “Mouse” flats, no? But still there was something very compelling about these, so I had to take a picture to share with you. Would you ever rock these or do they make your skin crawl?

I was also at Balisi on the long weekend! And I was dying for the ones with the blue heart! But they only had a size 5 left
So sad.
Awww, Melinda! I got the blue ones! They do run large, so if you’re size 6, you should definitely give those a try! I was also told that they’ll be getting the Fall 2010 colors sometime at the end of August, so perhaps you’ll see something you like then?
I love my Melissa boots and now u making me want the heart pumps too!!
I love my rain boots!!! and now i am thinking to get the blue heart pumps !!!!
I don’t think I’ve ever been in this store. I’ll have to check it out – the offerings look fab!
OMG, Jo…I absolutely love them…and they look so much better on than on the shelf! Love them!!! Now I need a pair in my life too…
Sharon, you absolutely should check them out! They are having a 50% off sale right now. Definitely worth it!
A bunch of Melissa shoes are on sale at Shoplarousse.com. Definitely worth checking out. They ship internationally too.
These shoes are incredible! I need a pair now…ahhh, I am on a semi-ban though.
