Me and Colleen (ALDO)
This past Thursday (Dec 4th) night ALDO held an exclusive shopping event and tour of their new Soho location at 470 Broadway. I was anticipating the event for the whole week and when I arrived at the store I was even more giddy, what girl doesn’t love shoes right? The ALDO team were extremely friendly and helpful, they showed me around the store. Colleen the buyer from the corporate office, who happens to be an avid reader of nitro:licious, was on hand to help me choose my shoes since I can get quite indecisive with all the distractions (nice shoes). I came with a pair of shoes in mind, the FROLING which Colleen and Anny were wearing but they didn’t have my size, that was the downside but I did leave with two pairs of great shoes, the MCDIVITT and a new pair of shoes from their spring ‘09 collection (will find out the name), courtesy of ALDO. Thanks very much to ALDO and their team, this was def the highlight of my night!

I like these two pairs, the SPANA and the FLOLORN. Both are super nice!
Love the SPANA especially but they didn’t have my size ;(
Sneak peek of their Spring 2009 Collection…more on this later…

Me trying on the MCDIVITT Boots, do you like?
Close-up pic, love the square toe.
Spring 2009 Collection: DUNEGAN, do you like this pair or the one below more?
Spring 2009 Collection: JOECKS, do you like this better or the previous one better? I think I might go back to get this pair, the more I look at it the more I want it!
I ended up with this pair, its from their Spring 2009 Collection as well. The best of both worlds, love the heel and zipper detail a combination of the previous two!
My second pair that I chose is this MCDIVITT Boots, love them!
Can’t wait to rock ‘em out!

Posted By: retrogurl | December 6th, 2008 at 1:59 pmYep - definitely Martin Margiela knock-offs. But on that spring collection table I also see major copies of last season’s Sigerson Morrison sandals!
