Tuesday Shoesday: Nordstrom Sale Decisions

It’s hard to concentrate on fall fashion when it is still very much summer time, but every year when the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts, we have no choice but to shift gears long enough to decide on what boots, sweaters, or jackets to grab before the price increases.  If you’re a Nordstrom cardholder, you gain early access to the sale online and in-stores, so S and I have been browsing for the past week.  I’m trying to decide between these black booties or the mixed material cardigan.  Both would be equally versatile this fall/winter, but which will I wear more?

Shoe Years Resolution?: Kitten Heels

If you’re anything like me, you have a tough time resisting a sky high heel.  I have become so familiar with lying through my teeth in response to, “Those shoes are so cute, but high!  Do they hurt your feet?”.  I always respond with something like, “Oh no, I could run a marathon in these!”  What I mean is- they hurt, badly.  I find excuses all night to sit down or find something to lean against and people may or may not be starting to wonder if they should cut me off from the wine.

Excuses aside, in 2012 I am resolving to give my aching soles a rest and put on some kitten heels.  My personal definition of a kitten heel is 3 inches max, single sole (no platform).  This Michael Kors pump would be a perfect start to my new PRACTICAL shoe collection.

Found for $195 at www.Nordstrom.com

Happy New Years everyone.  We are already 16 days into the new year, but it isn’t too late to think of a way to shape up your life in the upcoming year…even if it is just by starting with a pair of shoes.

Remember these?! I do…

I may or may not have been stalking this pair of Michael Kors shoes since March….(I have, there is proof.)

What arrives at the doorstep today?!

A BIG FAT SURPRISE FROM S!

There is nothing more wonderful then a surprise, whatever it may be.  Something someone says, a bouquet of flowers, breakfast or coffee already made when you wake up, or a pair of shoes that you have been stalking for 4 months.  You may be the type of person who snoops until you find out what you’re getting for Christmas or your birthday (I am) or you may be the kind of person who accepts the surprise aspect of it (I respect you).  I’m going to start making a conscious effort to let surprises be surprises from now on, because that is what makes them wonderful.
