It's a new crafting era...

Well, I haven't been back in a long time.  Work gets in the way.  The shoe game has been exponentially upped, but that's not why we're back.  The shoes shall be saved for another day.... like when I leave the house again.

My new "thing" is back to crafts (because what good are fancy shoes if you don't leave the house).  What a great stress relief in an otherwise busy world.

I've been a bad girl...but a good shoe girl.

It's time to post some long overdue shoes.

I've been so busy working, that I haven't had time to update blog posts, or anything else for that matter...

The good news is, with the increase in income from working too much, the shoes have gone up a notch...  Don't worry, the bargain shoes will be back, but for now, some luxury.  The Christian Louboutin "Charleen" (above).. 

Three more Louboutins, and a Manolo to top it off.  Um.  I've been a bad girl.  The "simple pump", "True Blue", "Suspenodo" and the Manolo Chaos.  Happy b-day to me. 

Not girly baby shower

Here's a quick card for some baby shower invites for our "not girly" baby shower!

It's been a long time since I've posted... but now with my new Surface Pro 3, I'm way more productive!

Shoes help you get back on your feet.

Well, it's been a long fall.  Spent time having faith in someone, who was busy spending time worrying about taking care of something else.  Oh well.  In the meantime, the half-hearted non-apology ended with a shoe compensation (note- I did accept the gift, but did not forgive, I forgave the last numerous times).  At any rate, not that it makes me feel any better, here's what I scored.

Cole Haan Air Violet Pump 90.  Gorgeous.  This should help me get back on my feet...  I also acquired the deal of the day on 6pm.com,  the Betsey Johnson Diskko.  Totally impractical, but for $29.00 regular $129.95, I thought I should have these.

Also, on my recent trip to Chicago, I had some scores.

The Enzo Mistle in Taupe.  I have these in Black, but these were like $22 at Marshall's on clearance!  I could not pass them up.

Cole Haan Air Violet, Nordy's Rack...  Because I had to be able to walk around in professional shoes?

Also, some Cole Haan boots, I mean, winter is coming, right???  Air Talia Boot in Dark Chocolate.

Also, this fall, I had a couple more acquisitions... (see, I must have been depressed).  The Coach Sue.  bf was gonna buy it for me, but they didn't have my size, so I ordered for sale online.

I love these, I just don't know where to wear them.  I wore them to one of my jobs with jeans, and a guy told me he thought they reminded him of orange construction cones.  Three women randomly complimented them, though.  Note to self, these shoes are only lady-pleasers.

 

I also had a BR incident during some sale when I picked up the Melana and Tonya quite cheap.  They are actually still on sale, so go online to get them.

Finally, my last cheap find was like $10.00 at Ross.  Bandolino Great Gal. They're still $35 online, so I figured I got a great deal.

 

I thought these would be comfy walking shoes for day. 
Anyway, that's about it for now.  Just remember, when sad, a nice pair of shoes will help you get back on your feet.  That's all for now.
