Retail Therapy

On Wednesday there was an EARTHQUAKE here. That was scary. I was on the 15th floor of an office building, and that scared me a lot. Never again, please!

So we needed some retail therapy, so I went out with my mom and sister. It started as a trip to buy some things I needed for rugby (I play on a club team!) and we just kept shopping. Best buy? A fabulous BCBG blazer mad on sale! Well-made clothes just rock. They are totally worth the expense. When I can afford it.

I saw a couple pairs of shoes I didn't buy (above). 2 are from Payless's eco line, and 3 are from Aldo on sale. I'm trying to decide if I should go back for them.

Givenchy Heels' Day 1

So, of course I couldn't resist wearing the shoes immediately. I was worried they wouldn't really be work appropriate (4.5 inch platform sandal/peeptoes with studs...) but I think pairing them with the light, feminine dress did the trick. I forgot to take a picture of the bag I was carrying, but it's not very exciting, so you're not missing out!

And walking in them was not as bad as I thought. Although I did lose the feeling in my big toe periodically. But they make my legs look so good...

Find of the Week

Really, this is a find of the month, the summer, or the year! These amazing shoes were too good to pass up. They are Givenchy, and I found them at my favourite consignment store. Oh, and they were $30. I can't wait to mix them into my collection - even though they're super tall, the tallest I've ever owned. I'll mix them with more demure, feminine stuff for daytime looks.
