Went on a bit of a (husband-sanctioned, even encouraged) shoe-buying binge last week, all beautiful but all guaranteed to make my feet hurt by the end of the night. But for candy apple RED Ralph Lauren patent platform peep-toe Mary Janes, the pain will be SO worth it. I also elected to join the 21st century and get a new phone that will allow me to send text messages. I just sent my first ever text last week, so I’m obviously screaming right into the technological future, eh?
(And while I’m on the subject, I just cannot make myself write in that pidgin texting language, forsaking all grammar and spelling rules. The word nerd in me just won’t let it happen, so I’ll continue to laboriously send my correctly written messages. I won’t be winning any speed-texting contests anytime soon.)
Pair #2 of hawt RED shoes scored last week. Not even as crippling as they may appear on first glance. More about where I wore these later.
The RED thing that I had, and then returned:
My beloved toaster oven unexpectedly gave up the ghost, providing me an opportunity to replace it with something much prettier (incidentally, did you know Target’s website has a page just for RED appliances? How convenient!)
Even though it perfectly matched Ruby and Bea (so named because she’s an Osterizer Beehive blender), the toaster oven had to be returned because its poor design meant it took up a ridiculous amount of counter space. Boo. I suppose it's just as well, as that toaster oven had rotten reviews on the Target website anyway.
I want to know how you managed to get your hubby to willingly send you shoe shopping! That's one secret you could probably bottle and sell.
ReplyDeleteCute shoes, and they are always worth the pain!
I love the shoes! What size are you again??? We may have to trade. :) I have some hot pink heels that are almost identical to those Ralph Lauren ones. They are so cute! Lisa Jenkins keeps threatening that she will mug me the next time I wear my pink shoes. Maybe I'll just direct her in your direction to steal your red shoes instead. :)
ReplyDeleteMe wants the top the pair of shoes. Oh the drool I'm currently wiping from my face!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am not a shoe person. But, va-va-va-vooooom!
ReplyDeleteI just upgraded to a new "Slider" phone - Internet, MP3, all the fancy stuff. I can't even figure out how to make a phone call and The Bean can look up the weather forecast for Istanbul on the damn thing. I ent my first and most likely last Text last week. I'm with you - cannot bring myself to do that lol, h8s stuff. NO WAY!
Oh gosh! Don't you just LOVE red shoes! These are spectacularly pretty, you lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteWowza!! :-) Beautiful shoes! The top pair have a little bit of a 40's feel, don't they? I love that!
ReplyDeleteDang, girl! Those are some HAWT shoes! Me want them. And you can text me if you want, I don't use any of that shorty text lingo. I pound out full words like a dinosaur!
ReplyDeleteI love both pairs of shoes, especially the first pair! I have a red coffee pot, but that's all. I bought Mister a Keurig for Christmas and they don't come in red; believe me, I checked!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Those red Mary Janes!! I'm in love (read lust) and am so happy that you bought them for yourself (read jealous as all get-out!). Yes, beauty is sometimes painful!
ReplyDeleteShut UP! That second pair of red shoes! I just died!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that first pair! SO cute.
ReplyDeleteI am the same way about text messages!
Heidi, I just wanted to answer your question about the mat cutter. It was very easy to use and even came with a DVD to clearly show you how to use it. I bought the Logan 450 for about $120 on sale. There's also a wonderful free program you can download called MatWorks that helps you figure out the dimensions of your window. Send me an e-mail if you'd like more info. Marian@missmustardseed.com.
ReplyDeleteWow!! I love those shoes. I have a little collection of red shoes myself but I never seem to wear them. I think I'm going to make it a point to do that this week. Well, once the snow is gone!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hadnt really thought about it either, but I had this big ball of dough in the fridge still and the idea popped in my head!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh, those SHOES!! Absolutely gorgeous!!! Love 'em. :)
ReplyDeleteJennifer
LOVE the shoes! I think I need to do some shoe shopping!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comment about my bathroom redo. I've had a few questions about painting the cabinets so, I will try to write a post about it next week.
Have a great weekend!
Thank you for your comments on the garland! :)
ReplyDeleteI just got that same red phone!! Isn't it great?
