New Shoe Purchase

So these aren't exactly new shoes, I mean for this season, they're actually from last season, um...actutaly last year, 07/08
L.A.M.B. Oxfords
I've been aching for them since last year, but since I live in Canada it's hard finding a online store that ships reasonably and you can forget about looking in store. Holt Renfew's probably your best bet, but it seems like they only carry L.A.M.B. bags not their shoes.
So Originally I wanted (more like needed) these L.A.M.B. oxfords in Black/Incatan
----->
but after waiting, watching the sales past by (since I couldn't take a chance with karmaloops' ridiculous shipping fees) i finally forgot about them, however after doing some online window shopping I came across them once more only this time in Jaguar/Green/Navy
Now I remember thinking last year that this seem to be a little out there but i guess my taste has matured a bit because now I thought that this color scheme was even better then Black/Incatan
So I googled throughly and found the best price, 79.99 USD at Backstreet Shoes (ebayer), this would have been a bargin if the Canadian dollar was still at par but since oil prices have drop so has the lonnie, sucks huh
this comes to about 101CDN at the time plus USPS shipping 30CDN plus 5CDN tax and 5CDN brokage fee (i'm luckly USPS doesn't screw us over unlike UPS)

------>
total 140CDN
vs. US price of only 80 (if I lived there)


anyways since I love them I think it's worth it
