Shoe Slave: The Red Shoes

Today is a very good day. My quest for the perfect, patent, red shoe is over.

You know I've been obsessing for awhile. Ever since last summer, when I was transfixed by the Marc Jacobs pair.

Since then I've pursued, unsuccessfully, many pairs of red patent shoes. FSC members are the fortunate benefactors of this quest. Specifically, the gorgeous Via Spigas that simply did not fit me. These beauties are still waiting for an FSC member to give them a home.

Back to me.

My search efforts were rewarded today when this pair of Cole Haan pumps arrived. Fit? Perfect. Style? Classic.

And bless the marketing genius at Cole Haan who came up with the Nike Air partnership concept. Cole Haan quality with Nike Air comfort. A match made in Shoe-Slave heaven.

It will be hard to save these babies for the holidays. Will try to control myself.

Shoe Slave: G Series

Evidently January is shoe month. Shoe-Mojo in high gear.

I like these boots for summer. Light in color, relatively low heel. Maybe a practical boot for Stampede? They might even be comfortable since they're G-series by Cole Haan. I'm hoping. Actually, what I'm really hoping is that they fit around my calves. Fingers are crossed.

But I really didn't buy these for practical reasons. I saw a photograph of a tall and gorgeous model wearing similar boots, faded jeans and a guys white shirt. Hot.

That also might explain the leather jeans hanging in my closet. When am I gonna learn?
