PORN!!!

More fall trends.  Nordstrom’s Fall trends page lists four new trends:

Rivets (Could be interesting)
Fringe (Dear God, no)
Biker Chic (so my style) and
Tailored Sophistication (also good).

So - an example of each:
1.  Riveting….
These are cute - a little overdone, I think.  The buckle on the toe might not be necessary, but I’d totally wear them.
2.  Fringe Benefits

PORN!!!

Now that I’m getting my routine back, I think that I can get back to your regularly scheduled shoe porn!
So - it’s that time of the year again - time to talk about Fall trends.
Oxfords are big again this year - but with more cutouts, which is lame. I love the women’s oxford heel, [...]

PORN! Kinda….

So - back to the porn. I thought today’s theme could be “shoes I won’t be wearing anytime soon.” Actually, that’s almost always the theme, but the reason is usually financial & not skeletal.
Example #1:

Pretty, no? I love shoes, as you may know - and the best shoe, by far, is the [...]

An Auspicious Day

Today is my architect’s birthday. It is the 6th birthday I’ve helped him celebrate – which simultaneously seems like a lot and not that many. We’ve been together for 5 ½ years, and married for 1 ½. When we started out, we were in our early 30s & mid 20s; - the differences between 25 [...]

April Review

So, in April, the following things were accomplished.
This month I logged:
12,294 calories burned in exercise
60 miles run
1,800 minutes of exercise (that’s 30 hours)
5 weight-training classes
22 days of exercise
Pounds lost? .4
And, since everything was slightly lower than last month, I guess it makes sense that my weight loss was slightly less.  But seriously?  .4 pounds?  That’s [...]

PORN!!

For our office holiday party last year, I received a shoe of the day calendar.  There are a few beautiful shoes.  Someday, I will scan & share.  But, the one designer featured most often is Beverly Feldman.  Her shoes are, by & large, hideous.  She frightens me.  Also, on her blog (yes, of course I [...]
