Oh Topshop, why do you play these games with me?

Before I lived in England, Topshop used to be in my thoughts when awake, and my dreams when asleep. I was always seeing things in magazines or on websites and longed for them to be mine. Then, when I arrived in the UK I headed straight for my closest store. I was shocked that I wanted NOTHING, but I was also relieved as I had no money. Over the corse of a year I made frequent trips to various shops in the chain, always convinced that THIS was the trip when I was going to find the bag of my dreams, or the trendy dress that I would treasure all season (and a lot longer). But it wasn't to be, I never found anything I wanted and left the UK topshopless. It was probably for the best, because my luggage was 12 kilos overwieght. Now that I'm back in Australia it seems that every time I check the website I find something stunning. Most recently, these shoes:
And they now do ship to Australia, but I'm still a bit timid. How can you tell what something is like from a photo? Or if it will fit properly? Also, now that I'm no longer earning in pounds, and am living on a student's budget, the exchange rate seems a little steep... Are they too gorgeous to go on sale in a couple of weeks?
