I'm a Toys R Us Kid!

Yesterday I went shopping with a friend of mine and decided to go to Nordstrom. AH-mazing. Walked right into the shoe section and I need to tell you that this time, Nordstrom did not disappoint. Each display was beautifully adorned with the most fantastic shoes they've had in a while. So, after a long hiatus from shoe-shopping, I decided to treat myself to a fun, fabulous heel. It was pretty much inevitable, after depriving myself of something so wonderful for so long, I needed a fix. And oh my goodess is this fix incredible. Walking through the shoe department my eyes hit a beautiful shoe right in the Michael Kors section. Enjoy the MICHAEL by Michael Kors "Pressley" heel:

Now, we all know that I am very into statment shoes. And I truly believe that this gorgeous piece of foot fashion makes one of the loudest statements in my closet. It's animal print at it's finest - Giraffe. Honestly, not to make myself sound like a complete nerd, but when I saw them I thought of Geoffrey the Giraffe from Toys R Us. And it was then that I knew I had to have them in my shoe collection. Oh, yes, I did the same old song and dance I always do. I try them on, contemplate the price and think much too hard about the decision. But, to be fair, it's a significant amount of money to a girl like me, so I at least have to pretend that it's a hard decision.

The heel, first of all and most importantly, is one of the most unique heels. It has an odd, rounded, rectangular, oblong shape to them. And at 4.75", that heel will make my legs look like they go on for days on end. The print is so eye-catching, and what will hold the attention of shoe-addicts like myself is the touch of gold accents throughout - at the toe, and by the ankle there is the standard MK button.

My second thought after Geoffry? I need a pedicure... yesterday.

Tragedy.

How could this happen? Why did this have to happen to me? Ladies and gentlemen... gentleman.... well just ladies (I don't think that any men ready this blog) one of my most amazing pairs of shoes BROKE today. I'm not talking about a heel or the cap or even a tear... my shoe broke. In half. As in it looks like it could talk to me and tell me a story about how I'm a terrible person for running full speed in them and causing them to die an awful death.

They were one of my prettiest pairs. Really, they were gorgeous. BCBGirls, white patent leather with a multi-colored and gold detail near the peep-toe. They were pretty, they were comfortable, and most importantly I got them on a major sale a year ago. A year ago. Therefore when I attempted to find them to purchase a new pair... I couldn't find anything. The closest style I could find are the BCBGirls Alena slides. But we all know that I just don't do signature anything... so I can't very well go buy those. I can't even remember the name of my poor shoe. And I can't check the box for the name because I don't keep the boxes. I house my beauties in those plastic shoe boxes that you can buy at Target and they all stack so neatly.

That's besides the point. I'm so sad about my shoe situation right now. This is a real shoe issue. This is terrible. I loved those shoes. I don't even think that a Cobbler could salvage them. I'm quite positive that the Cobbler would laugh in my face. Yes, he would and then he would see how pathetic I am and charge me oodles of money and give me false hope of fixing my poor shoe.

So here we go. I'm going to celebrate my shoe instead of mourning it. But I feel badly because I don't remember it's name.



This is the photo of my shoes that is on the shoebox so I can easily locate it in my atrocity of a closet. Actually my closet is very clean, there is just a lot of stuff. Shoes, purses, scarves, tops, jeans, dresses, luggage, my Stuart Weitzman shoebox that I refuse to throw away. My dearly departed shoes were so beautiful, this picture does them no justice whatsoever.
