Shoe Fetish Challenge: Days 24-34

Once again I have come across the problem of wearing cute shoes OUT rather than staying in and blogging about it, oh well! Here is what I've been steppin' out in lately:

Tuesday, day 24: Pumas (flats)

These are my least favorite pair of shoes. First of all, they aren't really my style and secondly, they are too white. I fucking HATE white shoes! (Yes, my vendetta against the color white continues, I have actually stopped dating guys because they wore white shoes- I couldn't be bothered to look at their hideous shoes. Sorry.) Plus, I'm not really a "Puma" sort of girl. As previously discussed, I'm a Converse kind of a girl. I'm from the OC, not LA. But these were on sale at Ross a few years back so I use them as my exercise shoes because they are far cuter than exercise shoes- aka the most hideous shoes made today (soooo ugly). I did take these shoes to NYC, and they held up pretty well and don't look bad in my pictures (WHEW!). They're good shoes, just not really my style.

Wednesday, day 25: Grey Pumps (3" heel)

These shoes were actually inherited by Rayanne, my Marketing Director. They're just a little big so I need to go get those heel pad things, but overall, excellent inheritence! And they are my only pair of grey shoes! Plus, they aren't just grey, they are cloth- kind of like wool, which is cool!

Thanks Ray!

Thursday, day 26: Hot Pink Stilletos (3 1/4" heel)

Hello Ken, my name is Barbie. Don't I look fabulous?

Yup, that's what I thought you said.

(Damn these shoes are SO FUN! I LOVE THESE SHOES!!!)

Friday, day 27: leopard print Mary Janes (oh yeah baby)

(Ignore my brat of a cat in the corner of this picture. She loves shoes just like her mama and she insists on rubbing all over them)

I like my shoes with a bit of sass, what can I say? I'm a sassy kind of girl ;)

Saturday, day 28: Photo Shoot- lots of shoes were worn, and not all of them were mine (yup, I'm permiscuous)

The shoes in this pic are Caitlins, they are like 6" and I totally ate it wearing them! I went to go talk to the photographer and the heel got stuck in one of the cracks in the ground and I went DOWN! But I jumped right back up like a trooper so it's all good! ahahahaha

Sunday, day 29: Slippers that are technically shoes

I was tired and sore from the photo shoot and did not want to leave the house, but had to do some housework, so I decided to wear house shoes. Oh yeah. I've had these since high school and they're still in good shape! Target purchase win! (Well, aren't all purchases from Target a win? Let's be real.)

Monday, day 30: Vintage flats

Got these from a GoodWill, they pinch a little bit when I wear them for a long time, but they are cute so I don't really care that much.

Tuesday, day 31: Sick face- no shoes were worn

I didn't even wear socks! Hahahaha!

Wednesday, day 32: Awful shoes that didn't last the day (3 1/2" heel)

I actually bought these shoes with all the other Bridesmaids for my girlfriend Laura's wedding a few years ago- and they are fine for the first ten minutes, then you realize these shoes were made by a man who has no idea where you need to place your weight in heels in order to balance yourself properly. Whoever made these shoes is an idiot! I always think, "Oh, they aren't that bad." When I've tried to give them a second chance, well, they still suck and I'm donating them tonight! DONE-ZO!!!

Thursday, day 33: Michael Kors- every woman's dream (5" heel) <3

I have the best boss E-VER! He's from England and last Thanksgiving he decided to show thanks, and he knows how much I love shoes, so he tricked me into going to the Macy's shoe section (one of my favorite places as I'm sure you've noticed) by saying he was picking out shoes for his wife and he wanted my opinion as a woman and shoe expert. Then he told me he was buying me a pair of shoes to show his thanks for helping him at work and when he first got here to be accustomed to America.

Isn't that cute?! Everyone takes Thanksgiving for granted and I thought it was the sweetest gesture showing the true meaning of the day. It was awesome.

Plus I'm in LOVE with Michael Kors and have only not fallen in love with like, two things that he's made. I LOVE HIM. Bags, shoes, clothes, scents, the man has TASTE!!! Yummy!!

Today, day 34: Rainbows repeat

I either had one to many beers last night or I just woke up tired, because I could not be bothered to wear actual pants (yeah leggings!), a bra, or shoes today. And yes, I did go to work like this. My job is awesome. I may go out in a pair of shoes tonight now that I have caffeine in my system.

Shoe Fetish Challenge- Days 17-23

So apparently when I'm busy I'm horrible at blogging! I've been keeping up with wearing the shoes, but I have not been keeping up with the blogs! (And I've been told I need to get on it) so here they are, the last unblogged about yet worn shoes

Wednesday: beige heels (3 1/2" heel)

Yes, these are also scrateched from the clutch/brake game. Like I said before, most of my heels are. Because, yes, I can drive stick, yes, I can wear rediculous heels, and yes, I can do both of those things at the same time.

Thursday: black riding boots (flats)

Dammit I love these boots! They are a size too big, but they were 50% off (DAMN YOU MACY'S!!! DAMN YOU!!! No wait! I take it back! I LOVE YOU MACY'S!!!!) so I bought them anyway and just wear an extra pair of thick socks. Whatev. Lol!

Friday: Ugg boots (flats)

I had the day off, and I didn't do much but have a date with sarah, so I just wore Uggs.

P.S.: I got these at a Goodwill for $25!!!! HOLLA!!!!!! They have a small hole in them, but really, who cares! I got Uggs for CHEAP!!

Saturday: boots (4"heel) and wedges (5 1/2" heel)

Photoshoot!!!!!!!! I love these boots (Macy's!!! You are my kryptonite!) and I love these wedges! (Also Macy's- are we seeing a pattern here?) And this shoot was AWESOME!!

Funny story about how I bought these wedges:

Went into Macy's a month or so ago feeling down. Walked up to an obviously gay Asian kid and asked, "Are you in shoes?" Well, long story short the poor bastard said yes and I had him searching for a 'tan or natural colored wedge" (after he got me the two boots I wanted in my size) and yes, he went onto the floor and brought some shoes back to me to say, "yes" or "no" on. And then I made him follow me around the floor while I schooled him on exactly what a natural wedge is and what the variations are. (What? Gold is not natural! It's metalic! He's in shoes AND sales, someone had to teach him!) THEN that poor fool only came back with 1 boot. I had him try to look for the missing other one for like an hour while I perused purses, but it was not meant to be, he couldn't find the other boot. So I settled for two purses and two pairs of shoes that day. And when that kid's supervisor rang me up, he checked out EVERY item and said, "damn girl, you've got good taste!" ahahahahaaha, hell yes I do!!

Sunday: more wedges wearing- to give them the time they deserve!

I didn't want to wear these shoes on Easter, but the weather didn't cooperate for my other outfit (that I had all planned out by the way!) which I found personally offensive, but whatever! So I put these shoes on again because really, I only wore them in one short scene of shots, whereas the other boots were in four scenes of shots! It just wasn't fair to the wedges, don't you agree?

Monday/Today: more boots! Patent leather chocolate brown knee high boots

I look a bit like a hooker at work today, but I dont' care- I love these boots! woot woot!!

So here's to attempting to keep up with blogs- but to be fair, it isn't as much fun and going places in amazing shoes, so I make no promises on timliness, I will just attempt to keep up better ;)

Shoe Fetish Challenge: Day 16

Today's shoes: Awesome 70's Clogs (3 1/2" heel)




Everyone needs a good pair of clogs. I mean really, they are such a fun shoe! Slightly awkward to walk in every once in a while (is it just me or do your feet always want to come out of these things?) but hey, beauty is pain. Or something.


My love affair with shoes all started with Stephanie. Just Stephanie, not Grandma, not Step Grandma, just Stephanie, because she is too fabulous to be anything resembling a Grandma (just ask her, she'll tell you). When I was young my Mom had to move in with my Papa (Grandpa) Gary and his wife Stephanie a few times, and Stephanie had some AMAZING clogs. I've always wanted a pair ever since I first laid eyes on these wonderful things called clogs, and dammit, they are still cool. I don't care what anyone says.


However, CROCS are a COMPLETELY different story. Those things are HIDEOUS. Oh, and p.s.: they are freaking GARDENING SHOES! To only be used in the garden, not in public! YOU ALL LOOK LIKE IDIOTS THOSE ARE THE MOST HIDEOUS SHOES EVER MADE! VOMIT!

Shoe Fetish Challenge: Days 12-15

I have been remis in posting about my fabulous shoes! Sorry folks I've been busy struttin' my shoes around!




Day 12: comfortable street flats

These are the first and only pair of shoes I have purchased at the Gap, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little embarassed I bought shoes at the Gap, but they are FABULOUS! They're built like jazz shoes and it feels like you aren't wearing any- until of course you've worn them too long and the elastic on the heel starts to dig into your skin. But other than that they're great! Lol!

Day 13- FABULOUS sling backs (6" heel)

The first time I wore these shoes my 78 year old Grandmother told me to take them off so she could try them on, and she walked all around the living room in them- IT WAS AWESOME!! She is awesome and these shoes are awesome. They are a bit difficult to do any tricky manuvers in (due to the incredibly skinny and very high heel you cannot do a lot of dancing, or running, basically they're just walking/perching shoes) but they're so sexy it really doesn't even matter! I totally got hit on wearing these shoes- yow!!! I love 'em!

Day 14: Day of Rest (eat me) I didn't really leave the house on Sunday, I woke up late due to getting in really late Saturday night, and didn't wake up until afternoon, and the weather was crap so I just chilled at home. If God can have a day of rest, so can I!

Day 15: Brown Pirate boots (flats)

Today I decided to go with the flat boots as it's a bit chilly in So Cal today so I decided to go with the comfort and warmth in one delightful shoe! When I bought these shoes I tried to buy a matching pair in black but the poor workers of the Macy's shoe department (one of my FAVORITE places!) couldn't find them in my size :( so, I am still looking for a suede flat knee-length boot in black. But in the mean time, these shoes are awesome, and I actually wear them quite a bit.

More to come! Stay tuned!

Shoe Fetish Challenge: Day Eleven

Today I wore my party shoes, I love my party shoes! Woot woot party shoes! I can seriously be on my feet for nine or ten hours in these shoes and still go! ATTENTION SHOE LOVERS: This shape is another one of those "it doesn't hurt that bad to wear this style of shoe" shoes! The height in the sole compensates for the height of the heel, woohoo! I love these shoes, I've had these shoes since high school. I bought them for a prom or formal, or some sort of dance, I wore a ROCKIN skin tight dress (that I still have actually- and it still fits- snap), anyway, they have been my go to shoes ever since. As you can see I have literally imprinted myself in these shoes I wear them so often, and the straps are a little bit frayed, but you know what, they are still hot, and I will wear them until they die. PS: When I saw Jacque today the first thing she said was, "Oh, you're wearing your party shoes!" One more yeah for the party shoes! Yeah! In other news: the wearing of cute outfits, the matching of jewlery, and the actual application of make-up is still happening! Yes! I also went to beach and put on a new pair of shoes, my favorite ;) In them I had a wonderful A-HA moment: I think one of the reasons I hate exercising so much is because workout shoes are hideous and usually white. And I HATE white shoes. I find them ugly and distracting. But then, I am pretty much prejudiced against the color white in any real dominance. I find the color blaring. Too boring,to pure, ugly, distracting. Blech. Ugly color!

Shoe Fetish Challenge: Days Nine and Ten

Today's shoes: sassy pin up shoes in a lovely shade of cheetah (heel: 3") (rwar!) I love these shoes! They are old school, they are classy, they are just saucy enough, mixed in with a bit of flair (yeah obnoxious velvet bow!). Translation: these shoes are the shit! Plus! They are uber comfortable so you can stomp all over the city and go dancing and you'll be just fine!

Shoe lovers note: This shape of shoe is one the few shapes of high-heeled shoes that forms to your natural arch so you get the lower back support so your feet and your back don't hurt when you wear a shoe shaped like this. (I have a few myself. Two high heeled shoes, and a pair of boots.) You'll feel it when you put them on. Trust.

ps: I also have other shapes of shoes that are built with your body in mind that don't hurt, don't worry, I'll tell you when to look for a hurtless shoe shape!!

Yesterday's shoes: my favorite pair of Harley Davidson riding boots (oh yeah, I have more than one pair. A-oh!)

Can you Just LOOK at these boots! I die for these boots! The kick ass Harley symbol on the heel and the stitching of flames?! HELL YEAH! Of course I bought these boots. I HAD to have these boots!

Why I love Harley Davidson, and why it's okay for cute little me to sport motorcycle gear: I have pictures of me ranging from ages 1 to now of me on the back (or front) of my Dad's motorcycle or my Uncle's. My Dad and my Uncle have been riding since they were boys so bikes have always been around. They always took my sister and I on rides with them. Oh I remember the thrill of going around the block on the motorcycle when we kids! It was so exciting EVERY time, I mean we got PUMPED when we got to ride! And I always LOVE going on bike rides with my Dad, always have always will. It's so fun, and it's so nice to just spend time with him. And riding is my Dad's favorite thing. I mean it's his FAVORITE thing. So it's nice that he shares his joy with me, I really like that about our relationship. And even though my Dad has gone down recently. Twice. (And he was more upset about how busted the bike got rather than how busted up he got- OF COURSE. Men! Guh!) And even though we all know he could go down again, it's still my Dad's favorite. The day he got his first Harley was probably the happiest day of his life. (Excluding his most recent marriage and the births of my sister and I respectively of course. ::smirk::) Needless to say, he has the Harley Davidson emblem (with the eagle and ghost flames- it's pretty sick!) tattooed on his arm to prove how much he loves it and of course he has the matching sticker on his truck.

My Dad's first Harley was a Fat Boy. That is a damn good looking bike! Let me tell you! YOW! He now rides the not as cute Road King. (Sorry, MANLY. Not cute. MANLY. He hates it when I call his manly things cute like I hate that he INSISTS on wearing white socks with black shoes.) He likes it because he goes on the long runs now so he needs the comfort but I don't care I like the Fat Boy better. I've always been aesthetically minded.

Side note: He has to get them all softails bc our legs are short and it makes them lower, hehehehehehe

So, long story short: motorcycles are awesome and it's my Dad's favorite thing and I'll sport Harley gear if I want to!

Shoe Fetish Challenge: Day Eight

Today's shoes: well worn weapons ie: light pink snakeskin patterned stilettos (4" heel)

First, I would like everyone to ignore my messy desk, it's much cleaner now that I've organized it I just needed to get a good pic of my shoes! My favorite part of all my heels is usually the fact that they are all scarred, like these ones are, from driving a stick shift. I've been driving a stick shift my whole life and I love it! Unfortunately, that whole clutch/gas song and dance isn't the best for shoes- as you can see. I will argue that it gives the shoe more character and that most people don't even notice so it really doesn't matter. Not to mention that I find all the battle scars hilarious personally.

And how are the feet doing? well, I have a blister on the back of my left ankle- you know, that spot right above your heel that ALWAYS gets blisters. Yeah, right there. But other than that my feel are holding up like good little soldiers under the pressure. But will they last? Well goodness I hope so!
