London-based Finsk launched in 2004 and has been making girls and certain kinds of boys happy ever since. Julia Lundsten, the Finnish-born designer behind Finsk, takes inspiration for her modern designs from architectural structures. The label was the recipient of the ELLE Accessories Design of the Year in 2010, and each pair of shoes is handcrafted in Brazil. Yaddah, yaddah, yaddah, all I know is that these shoes have been haunting me since I first laid eyes on them. Every time I look at a pair they scream, "why do you not own me?" Why, why do I not own them? And then I'm reminded that there aren't enough digits in my bank account. This is a cruel, cruel world we live in.
