Inner Grunge

In anticipation of starting my make up course in just six days, I decided to play with my face for a night out. Instead of the usual brown smoky eye I usually go for I opted for something a bit more grungy. I decided to use gel liner as eyeshadow, pressed a bit of powder shaow on top, dabbed a little bit of clear lipgloss over it, and hey presto. Grunge. The had creased before I left my house, but I like it that way.

This look was inspired by a beautiful new pair of shoes I acquired a week ago. I cannot walk in them for the life of me, but the guy who sold them to me was too good looking to disappoint. Sad? Yes. But we all do it, don't we?

So here are my fabulous shoes, that will probably remain in their box until I get the courage or ever get drunk enough to wear them. And they are sickly beautiful.

New Shoes. Drool.

Hi ladies,

Just thought I'd share my most recent splurge- and they're consignment, so not nearly as big of a splurge that they normally would be! These are my new Michael Kors platform sandals.
Funny story actually. I was shopping THREE YEARS ago, and I fell in love with these shoes (but in a dark brown), but they had sold my size, 9, the day before. Oh, and they were like 60% off... uhm... So I have pretty much been fantasizing over these shoes for the past THREE YEARS.

And I go to my fave designer consignment shop and.... OMFG.

Great Buy Today at Famous Footwear.

My boys needed new soccer cleats for the upcoming spring season. I happened to notice while out that Famous Footwear had their great buy 1 get 1 half off sale.  Works out for me.  I also have the Famous Footwear rewards card (free to get so i recommend it. They also send you great coupons throughout the year on top of the rewards you earn).  So I looked at the soccer cleats.  Got both of the older boys a brand new pair of Nike Soccer cleats and only came to $29.99 for both pairs all together.

These are the ones I bought for them:

My favourite Shoes and Boots

Hey girls! Just thought I'd share a look at my favourite "nice" shoes (I have some sneakers that I love too! Haha). As you can probably tell, I LOVE shoes. It's almost a disease, I think. I especially love boots. So, here are my faves....

These are my favourite tall boots. Nice low heel, slouchy black leather and buckles... Awesome!!

Favourite flats! Made by Geox. Love the pattern on them too! Really comfy.

Love these purple heels! From Old Navy, super cheap too! Took some getting used to in the walking department, and some blisters too, but they're so so so cute!My fave "nude" coloured heels. Unbelievably comfy, and they look amazing! Love the interesting detail of the strap, it makes them a bit special!
Adorable new ankle boots from Winners. I love buckles so much!

Do you girls love shoes as much as I do??
