I shared these 7 Things You May Not Know About Me on Instagram and because I’m trying hard to get back into the flow of blogging–I shared it here as well. Ready? Here we go!
1. I loooooooove shoes! This really a no brainer because if you’ve spent any considerable amount of time with me you’ve already seen the signs. Right now it’s to the point where my husband can spot a cute shoe and immediately brings it to my attention. Fun times!
2. I once went 3 FULL years without buy a single pair! This was a period of time in my life where I was trying to BREAK the obsession. I don’t want to be obsessed with anything because then your obsession is what has control. So I put myself on a shoe diet. I refused to buy, to look or even consider. It worked out well for my bank account.
3. This is my FIRST pair of Rachel Zoe shoes! I can’t believe it because I loved ever episode of her show and I love her style. The thing I love about her is that she’s not just a celeb slapping her name on product–you can tell that everything she creates is something that she’d wear herself. When I saw these shoes I fell in love. They were the last pair on Amazon. I tried them on and they fit like a dream and look amazing on the feet.
4. I recently bought a pair of Christian Louboutins and had to return them (see #5)
5. I hate wearing shoes that hurt my feet no matter how much they cost! When I bought the So Kate’s I had heard horror stories, but you know how fashionistas are–they have to find out for themselves. I stretched them with my professional shoe stretchers and still–it was a no go. I could not imagine putting my feet in those things and being okay. Pain and fashion don’t go together for me and so, yes, I returned them.
6. The most comforable pair of shoes I own are my Casadei platforms and my YSL Tribute Sandals! Years ago I heard how comfortable the Casedei platforms were. Celebs were snatching them up like crazy. I got a pair and never wore them but then I finally did and WHOA! Same with the YSL Tribute Sandals–yes I had to stretch them, because I’d rather the stretcher break in my shoes than my feet having to do all the work. I stretched them, put them on and they fit like a dream. Love them so much that I have the gold and white on my radar. Stay tuned.
7. I was featured on The Today Shoe in a shoe segment back in 2013! If you’ve never heard me share this before you don’t know what you’re missing. I got an email from a book editor asking me if I wanted to do a shoe segment since I was running a shoe blog at the time and I happily agreed. They came, they did video, took sound bytes and the rest is history.
Your turn–tell me something about shoes. Do you love ’em. Hate ’em? What are your faves? 👠👠—
