Cute picture! I love it!
So you're holding the shoe and Colleen's clutching the knife.... Hmmm. What did Denise and Diann have in their pictures? Did either get to hold the truffles?
I just finished reading A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND and laughed my head off--especially when Morgan asks George for a Starbucks card and some Godiva chocolates. George's response, "Need is generally not associated with chocolate." Was that ever a typical male response! Ha! Ha! You're hilarious! Thanks for the great read. (I couldn't put it down. Much to my husband's disgust, I stayed up until 2 a.m. reading.) Yep. A good read is just like good chocolate and good shoes--too hard to pass up!
Well, Kristin - we've established our difference in tastes (your's sophisticated elegance, mine - earth woman mountain biker) ... however!!!!! ... I CAN relate to the expensive shoe bug. Believe it or not, in my world, there is ALSO an expensive shoe fettish attacking people. Chacos - don't get me started - they're are the equivalent of comfort of any shoe you'd find in "O" magazine. Perhaps not as elegant, more like a high-tech sandal designed for high impact :) ... After I broke $100 on those, I swear my husband went running for my wallet and hid it on me. I'm not allowed to buy shoes now after that splurge - I won't even mention my mtn. biking shoes....
Life without shoes ... not possible. Women find a good expensive must-have, drive-me-crazy-if-I-don't-have shoe in every genre!! :) :)
So is the one in your hand the one you lost on stage? LOL What a perfect moment in time!
And, you know lil ole me, I still don't get it--the whole Prada/Blanik (?) expensive stuff. BUT I can recognize cuddly socks for my favorite people!
Kristen, I know that you will know what I mean when I say that a shoe that is bargain basement priced at $75 is an awesome deal. My husband, on the other hand, who finds Payless a little to extravagant for his tastes will NEVER understand. I bought a pair of Cole Hahns on ebay. I paid a nice little price for them and was thrilled. I thought my husband was going to have a stroke when he saw the price. I told him, I'll have these shoes forever... don't worry! Girl, those were the worst shoes I've ever worn. I was so sad. I learned to make sure that I try on my shoes before I buy them now, but, I know that nice shoes are worth the price.
On another note, I bought my sons two pairs of shoes for the beginning of school. My husband, again the sweet little tightwad that he is, wondered why boys would need two pairs of shoes. It made perfect sense to me. Then, I realized that even my boys were a little confused, but, happy to get a haul, let me buy what I thought they needed. What has happened is that they have chosen their designated favorites and are wearing those everyday. Of course, this leaves a perfectly good pair of shoes completely neglected. I'm so sad. I thought I'd freed them from the bonds of wearing one pair of shoes all the time and all I did was cause more confusion to their little manly heads. My men, at least, will never get it.
BTW... I'm looking for Cool, Calm and Adjusted. I live in a little town. I had to get a girls best friend special ordered in a neighboring 'larger' town. I'm going on-line. I can't stand that its out there and I don't have it!

I...I...I just...it's like a whole 'nother world and I can't speak the language.
You know what, Allen? I can't speak it either. It's like a foreign concept...I love my cute little black ankle boots I got from Sears. ;) Does that even count? LOL.
Oh my gosh...I would love to have those animal print shoes. They are gorgeous! I'm sure they are also out of my price range. :)
OK - so I probably shouldn't do this, but there is a great site called bagborroworsteal.com where you pay a subscription fee to be able to borrow designer handbags (you pay an additional borrowing fee each time - but all of this is WAY less than buying the bags). Great for people who love these bags and love variety but cannot justify buying that many. Then, they also have an outlet store on the site too for those of us who just want to own a few. Enjoy :-)
I got an aodrable pair of Lilly Pulitzers on clearance for under $20 (the original price was over $150) does that count? They are so cute I actually squealed when I put them on!
One reason I love shoes so much....they always fit. I can try on jeans, skirts, bras, shirts and get so depressed, but the shoes. *sigh* they never let me down!
Shoes . . .ahhhh, love 'em. Will refrain from checking out the pricey ones as I already have too many expensive hobbies! {vbg}
The animal print reminds me of the giraffe print mule I went on the hunt for as my youngest dd (who's 5)HAD to have it! tehehe . . .not sure if it's a shoe thing or a giraffe thing that made it a necessity!
Darlin' post, K! Thanks.
Purses?
The other day I'm standing in the thrift store holding a handbag, wondering if I should get it, it's only four bucks, I dimly remember the brand but not the price range, it's boxy with a cute handle, but I think nah, it's slightly bigger than I usually carry and besides, I'm in a closet-cleaning-out-mode-not-adding-to-it, so I put it back on the hook, and a woman nearly knocks me down grabbing it, and later I relate the story to my s-i-l. "Kristy!" she shrieks. "They sell for three to four hundred dollars!"
It was a Kate Spade.
I could've kicked myself.
However, there is a God.
Two weeks later, I spotted another one in the same thrift store.
I bought it.
(Still haven't used it, though. It's a little small. Sigh.)
Um, dare I admit that I really don't give a whit about shoes OR purses?
