Oh, Stella.

I recall the first time I saw the ‘Scarlett’ Lace Peep Toe on the back of the Myer publication.

It was love at first sight.

I made my way to the department store, and as I made my way across the shoe department I was caught up behind a family of women all tittering excitedly. They were talking about Scarlett.

Unfortunately it was not meant to be.

The store assistant knew nothing of Scarlett and suggested they would probably not get the heels in. Even months later when I spotted you online at Tracey Ross (which sadly closed at the start of this year [2009]), she didn’t have my size.

I think I will always remember Scarlett as ‘The One That Got Away’.
