I became obsessed much like Rachel Zoe becomes obsessed with potential awards show dresses, which if you have seen the Rachel Zoe Project, happens every episode, and leaves Brad flustered and scurrying. Sadly I don't have a loyal assistant by my side, so I set out on this mission alone.
My first course of action was to search every website for the shoes. Google, Shopstyle, you name it, I was on there, looking for "berry shoes", "cherry shoes", and everything in between. This yielded nothing so I went back to the source, and searched for "Jessica Alba hair salon". Here I found a clue, a comment below a picture that said "These are Corso Como Djulia sandals".
Needless to say searching for Corso Como Djulia led me to a dead end. I was confused, were these shoes sold out? We're they not available yet? What is a shoe-a-holic to do? The answer was clear, I emailed Corso Como and waited impatiently for an answer. A few days later my next clue came: the shoes had been sold to Anthropologie. Hot on the trail I searched the Anthropologie site to no avail. The phantom shoes were no where to be found. Where did Jessica Alba find them?!
Not taking no for an answer I emailed Anthropologie. As it turns out Anthropologie had named them Trifle Berry Flats, they had been sold months before, and the only two stores still had them in my size (8.5) : Chevy Chase, MD and Birmingham, AL. Finally victory was close at hand. After much confusion from the sales girl at the Chevy Chase store, who said she's never heard of the sandals, I was able to get them shipped to NYC. The hunt was over, as of today I am a proud owner of Corso Como Djulia/Trifle Berry Flats!!! Can't wait to wear them :)
If you saw these shoes and became as obsessed as I was and happen to be a 8.5, there is still a lonely pair of shoes in the Birmingham, AL store, the store item #18252692.
