On September 11th and On Every Other Day {Repost}

I wasn’t sure if I was going to write a remembrance post for today, not because I didn’t want to honor the day but because I wasn’t sure what to say without it sounding trite… So many people’s lives were forever changed on that day ~ lives were lost, people were injured, wars were fought……

Red Cowboy Boots {Shoe Style Saturday}

So much has happened in the two weeks that I’ve been offline… First, let’s talk about those boots, shall we? Aren’t they fantabulous?

Blue Thong Sandals {Shoe Style Saturday}

See those thongs? I picked them because the color just screamed”Take me home, we’ll have lots of fun together!” So I did. Big honkin’ mistake. I wore them to work and half way through the day I ended up putting on my walking shoes that keep under my desk for midday walks. My feet were…

Yellow Wedges {Shoe Style Saturday}
