Apparently...

I decided to take some time off. I have no excuse for my absence, only an apology for not giving you all any notice. I'm back though and I thought I'd start by showing off my new shoes! Not surprisingly the two pairs I purchased have been featured on the blog at one time or another and each is a pair I've been coveting for quite a while.

Jessica Simpson - Vadio

The Vadio in Deep Purple is back in stock! Get it while you can.

Sam Edelman - Lorissa

Stay tuned to see them on my feet soon.

Did a little shopping today. My mom and I ran around town. We're both off until Friday this week and are enjoying some mother/daughter bonding time together. We had to run to Penzey's to pick up a few spices. If you have a Penzey's in your area, it should be the only place you get your spices. You can't beat the price for the quality. Seriously amazing stuff. We popped into Target after that to check out their storage containers. Before we left I decided to take a gander through the shoe department. I am looking for some slipper boots. Like these I saw on the Old Navy website.

Sweater Boots - Old Navy

I got distracted. Of course. The sweater boots (slipper boots?) were all but forgotten as soon as I discovered that the Sigerson Morrison collection for Target was on clearance.

Glam Crystal Bootie

Okay. Seriously. I love these! I snatched them up in a heartbeat. They are so cute on and they sparkle quite beautifully. Oh and the irony here is these $30 booties are 100% genuine suede. Take that Bakers! I'm so anxious to wear them. BTW when the hubs saw them he thought they were awful. LOL!

Santa Baby

Ruffles - Ankle Bootie

Just slip a bootie under the tree. For me. Been an awful good girl. Santa slipped this little beauty under the tree and needless to say I was thrilled! After all they were on my Christmas list. However after all the presents were unwrapped and upon closer inspection I discovered a few flaws. A couple scuffs here a spot of discoloration there. I wanted my new shoes to be perfect. So my mom and I set out on Friday to exchange them. The store we went to didn't have my size so another store was called, my size was put on hold, and I was set to make the exchange on Saturday. Oh, the best part about my visit to Bakers. The sales girl had the audacity to tell me the shoes were supposed to have those flaws. (Seriously???) Fast forward to Saturday. There I was minding my own business, browsing the internet, when I decided to check out the Bakers website. It was then (cue dramatic music please) that a grisly discovery was made. These booties are not made of real leather. They. Are. Faux. Leather.

Ummm. Yuck. No thanks. They have been returned.

So here.... is what I got instead.

Intyce - Steve Madden

I couldn't be more excited! I tried these on at the Steve Madden store a few days before Christmas and I just couldn't justify spending the money at the time but I really, really wanted them. I'm so glad I waited. It worked out so much better than I could have even wished. My mom ordered them for me on Sunday and I paid her the difference. I can't wait to get them! I'm already envisioning all of the outfits I will pair them with! I promise to take some live shots once they arrive. I love Christmas!
