Adventures in raising a puppy..or 2

A case of the Monday's is an understatement for the perpetual cloud that hung over me all day yesterday, choosing to storm every few hours with some new craptastic situation. After a long weekend and an even longer day at work, I figured to myself It's 5, time to go home and rest and relax. I came home, put on my sweats and popped on Sunday's recorded episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians (lethal addiction). To my dismay, as I oogled into the TV, my PRECIOUS dogs manage to do this.

In case you can't make that out due to the sudden pain in your eyes, its my gorgeous, one of a kind, anthropologie wedge. I found these beauties looking lonely in the sale section and quickly snatched them up for a mere $70.00. They were perfect and my favorite pair of shoes. As I saw my lifeless shoe being chewed on like some stuffed bunny, I paused in utter shock. Then, I cried.

I cried over a pair of perfect wedge heels.

Pathetic? yes. But rightfully so. I don't really know how to give these a proper goodbye - I can't imagine throwing them away but what more can these be used for? Until I find a way to part with my pretty shoes, they will wait in my garage, probably very mad at me for ruining them. This is what these beauties originally looked like.

Must find them.

I'm in love...

With shoes. You know how some women are shoe girls and others are all about the handbag? I'm definitely a raging shoe-a-holic. Being that I'm 5'9" (probably 5'10") I had to overcome my fear of being that tall gawky girl in the crowd because shoes are gorgeous and my feet deserve to look pretty. I've been thinking of my last few retail purchases that do not involve home goods and it was two pairs of shoes... pathetically amazing. My favorite find was when I strolled into a local second hand store and picked up a pair of Moschino Cheap and Chic navy pumps. They are gorgeous, new and cost me about $60 versus $450. Perfection... Check out this picture I took on my iPhone.

Below are just a few of my current favorites. I tend to go for a shoe that is more "multi-season" appropriate since I live in Arizona. These yellow sling-backs from Anthropologie are way above my price range ($350) but so gorgeous. I'll have to find a similar style....

The cut-out trend is something I'm a huge fan of. As a closet hippie child, I find these whimsical, sexy and totally comfortable-looking.

And for the evening (although you could technically pull the others off day-to-night) I love these. Classic, sexy, black pumps. These define me! 

I really should be jabbering on about home improvements and interior design but I couldn't help but to digress on the fact that I am a girl in love with shoes. Feel free to share your favorites with me, I'd love to hear what your guilty pleasures are!

Sooner than Later,

Nina
