A General Shout Out

Just wanted to give a Shout Out to my good friend, Naarah, for providing me excellent horrible shoes to blog about (please note upcoming posts). And now her hubby, Jason, comes into the mix with a truly bizarre excuse for a shoe - he wasn't sure of the name, but after several BING! searches, BING! came thru for us......

New Boots for ML.... and a new coat...

Got these boots today at Nordies. Very reasonably priced (hey man, there's a recession going on out there!), and am thinking about getting the dark brown too. Super comfy and were what I was looking for.

Also while browsing thru Nordies, came across this uber cute brown wool coat in BP. For $52.90, HAD to have it! Thank you Vonna for the shopping help!

Ugly Shoes @ Victoria Secret

This shoe reminds me of a straightjacket:

And, here we go again with the gladiator - this time in an ugly pump that goes only half-way up your leg. SWEET!!

Oh goody!! For those days when I want to wear a heel with my workout clothes:
Where's Waldo? ... in an UGG:

Vintage??? Not when it's crica 800 AD

Hat Tip to Naarah for this find!!

Where do I even begin with this shoe? This makes the gladiator sandal look wearable. And for $300!! I don't think so.... Click HERE to get all the stats on this blast from the waaaayyy past - note, there are no reviews- I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that no one has bought this little beauty.

In case there is actually a person out there interested in this shoe, HERE is the company's site.

ML's hunt for the perfect fall boot - Equestrain style

What does ML want for fall? A great, black leather, equestrain-style boot I can wear over my jeans. I'll be heading down to Portland in a few weeks for a tax-free fall shopping trip, and am so hoping I find my boots there. I'm willing to spend a few bucks, as I'll get a few seasons out of these boots, but don't totally want to break the bank. Of course my luck is that the ones I love are Tory Burch, D&G, Gucci, etc... and not really in my budget. Sigh. Here are some options:

Open Toed Boot - I'm very confused....

Ok, I don't get this trend. Fall/Winter is all about the boot - you want to know why? Because in most parts of this country it's COLD, RAINY and SNOWY!! HELLO!? I mean.... really... This whole trend defeats the purpose of a boot. Not to mention, I really think an open toe ankle boot is unflattering. Anyone agree with me? Examples here:

It's been a while....

Folks,
It's been a while since I posted here. Sorry - have been really busy this summer (see my other BLOG or my Facebook page), and just not focused on shoes as much. I did from time to time this summer encounter the hideous gladiator sandal - ugh.... God how I cannot stand that shoe. Let's all pray this does not rear it's ugly head for Spring/Summer '10!!

I am very ready for fall and all it brings - boots, puffy vests, sweaters, turtlenecks, etc... I love me a great boot and a cozy turtleneck. Without further adieu, I will begin some boot commentary in my next post!
