i sprained my ankle and fractured my foot. twice. apparently running and stairs (down) do NOT mix well.

bleh. these are so dang comfy!!

i am counting down the weeks until i can wear my heels again. 5 more weeks to go!

Lol. Well let me tell you, 4 inch heels, several drinks and stairs (down) ALSO do NOT mix. Bruises all over with a slightly splintered shin could attest to that...

I''m sorry you''re having to wear crocs. They are so comfy though, aren''t they?

tee hhe, mine was a bottle of wine... or two

. Yes, the crocs are super comfy. I''ll even take them on vacation with me, to walk on the beach and boat!

only 4 weeks and 5 days to go!

I think i might just buy new shoes for the occasion!

Yowza! My friend took me to a store on the Upper East side called "ripe" and I had to take these home.

Shoe paradise! I'd say these were definitely RIPE for the picking! Hellloooooo lovah!

 

[bee*]

They''re gorgeous Bliss!

 

[FrekeChild]

WOWZA!!!!

Ok Star, where are the shoes?!

 

[smiles]

Hi Everyone!

I hope I am not being redundant but felt after reading the first 11 pages I should just jump in!!

I saw at about page 10 (which is why I suddenly felt the need to post) there was a brief discussion about shoe storage and having just redecorated my room and being an avid shoe collector myself I did MUCH research on this and A LOT of shopping to find the best solution so I wanted to share the "shoe bags" I found that I love and have worked really well in case they could help someone else!!!

Also, while I love shoes I have never had the opportunity to buy super high end shoes but am planning my first big name purchase for the summer!! So I guess my question is what''s a great designer to break in my shoe collection with???

PS - the shoe bags says it hold 16 pairs of shoes but I found that if you double up some flats or sandals in a compartment you can fit way more in. 2 pairs of flip flops fit in a compartment perfectly!

 

[FrekeChild]

What kind of shoe are you wanting for that high end shoe? And how much are you looking to spend?

 

[MrsG]

I got more shoes to post - Giuseppe Zanotti. Easter Bunny was really good to me this year!! He knows me so well

 

[FrekeChild]

YOWZA MrsG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can we get a foot shot of those babies?!

 

[MrsG]

Freke, I''ve been promising you food shots for quite some time now. I think I might just get to them tonight

 

[FrekeChild]

I''ll be looking forward to them!!!!

 

[smiles]

MrsG those are BEAUTIFUL!!

Freke - I really am not sure - Since this is a splurge I haven''t really set a budget yet - I have lots of time to save since its not until July so I thought I would get some ideas.... If you could one pair of designer shoes... which ones would they be?!

 

[FrekeChild]

Probably a pair of Blahniks. But it would really depend on what the shoes looked like. Maybe Jimmy Choo? Zanottis? Louboutins? Gucci? Prada? Miu Miu? Dolce?

 

[MrsG]

OK, better late than never, right? So I recruited my daughter to take some foot shots. She thought I was nuts. I'm so happy my husband wasn't home

I had her take a few, but I don't know how to put them all in one post. So I'll have to post them one by one.
Here we go - Zanottis

 

[MrsG]

Choos

 

[MrsG]

More Choos

 

[MrsG]

And Choos Hep. I wore those to the mall the other day, and may I just say "Ouch". Still love them though

 

[FrekeChild]

Wow MrsG. Those are FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!May I come play in your shoe closet?

Wow...these are yummy!!!!

 

[jcarlylew]

freke - good news, doc says i''ll be back in heels in no time just to stay away from stairs!

crazy thought - without it looking horribly cheesy, i wish someone would have made sandals that you can attach a higher heel to.. so you can have flats for the beach/walking around, and convert them into heels for going out! it would be perfect!!

so for now i will continue to lust after everyone else''s shoes. especially mrs.g''s!!!

 

[MrsG]

Thanks for the compliments, ladies. I absolutely love this thread and am so happy to find other people that share my obsession.
Freke, your collection is amazing.

Jcarlylew, I''m glad to hear that you''ll be in heels in no time. I broke my toe last year falling down the stairs and had to wear one of those shoes that they give you at the hospital for 4 long weeks.

i still have 3 weeks to go

, but i am allowed to not wear the boot if i am not doing much walking around (besides going to the bathroom, etc). although i have it (the boot) and the crutches with me at all times just in case.
i bought new shoes yesterday, only because i am sick of only being able to wear the crocs.

they are super comfy, and a bit cuter than the crocs

 

[princessplease]

My two latest pairs
Mia Davis T-strap

 

[princessplease]

Nine West Jewellite

 

[princessplease]

I''m eyeing these up
And Freke, I saw these and immediately thought of you. Lovely shoes

 

[princessplease]

Just cracked on these!

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

I had to buy some silver shoes for a wedding I was in recently, so I got these. They actually came in too small (I had ordered a 4) so I had to order another pair. This was probably the first time I returned shoes because they were too small!

Another view. Sorry for the terrible lighting!
