friday's shoe of the week: swarovski candy cane chuck taylors

why do they not make these for adults? these little kid's chuck taylor all-stars for $79.99 are embellished with real swarovski crystals. though the laces remind me of a minty-delicious candy cane, these shoes really could be worn year-round.

I love the disclaimer on the boutique's website: "We use the strongest glue available to adhere the crystals to your Converse sneakers; however, because of the unique nature of the wear and tear on shoes, we cannot be responsible for loss of crystals."
