On Your Feet!

I am well well well and on my feet - a full day of work today and well, shoes shooting! 

All these shoes will be in the shop between tomorrow and Friday!

Please, bury me in my Ferragamo flats.

Think I am joking? I'm not. I got these shoes today and my day has already been just wonderful, but then these glorious, subtle, chic, elegant and practical (those words can actually describe one thing, yes!) gems arrived and I am in some serious heaven. I knew they were for me the second I laid eyes on them on Etsy at Chelsea's shop, ItalianPostcards, and did not waste a single second thinking and instead just bought them up. Heavens to bits I love them, look at the backs! So dang cool!

I blogged about losing my own boots of glory, but what is so wonderful about the vintage world is that there is always something out there to love, you let some amazing garment or pair of shoes go for whatever reason and nary have you forgotten that item than another one comes along!

Parting is such sweet sorrow

It is a sad day. Sure, it's Friday, it's going to be a balmy 36 degrees and I am going out for cocktails tonight - but yet, it is a sad day. As I got dressed this morning I realized I needed to part with a pair of most wonderful boots. The BOOTS OF GLORY.

My friend Amy and I are on the constant and seemingly endless search for the boots of glory. Boots have a special place in many girl's hearts and we are no exception. Thankfully she and I are NOT the same size, lest a friendship be tested. Not long ago, I found these superb white leather ankle boots and thought I could just crumble under the weight of my glee. Then I put them on and they proved to me about a 1/2 inch too small. "No matter", I thought, these are spectacular to wear despite the pain (sheer delusion), and although I photographed them for the shop, I let them live in my closet and planned to wear them. Today was their big day! The weather permitted, I am wearing a navy shrunken blazer and skinny jeans, the environment just SO right for these babies. And when I placed them on my feet a Cinderella I was not. No can do. Not going to suffer like this, can't! And so, despondent, weakened, and defeated - I list them. And some gal with feet only 1/2 more petite than mine, will dance the dance of the cutest pixie in these indisputable Boots of Glory.

The end.
