New Shoooooooz

If you recall, over three years ago, I posted this entry on shoes.

I have been looking for red suede Gazelles or red suede Pumas for exactly that long. Not kidding. I have all of my friends on board for this project when they are out shopping. I was online looking for a new replacement pair of boots (see below paragraph) and decided to check out the Adidas section on the website. My eyes almost shot out of their sockets. They are selling RED GAZELLES at "Get Outside" in Toronto. Not available online, only in store. Expensive, yes.....but I am going to the store tomorrow to buy them. If they don't have them in stock, I will seriously have a meltdown in the store - on my stomach, kicking and screaming like a 4 year old.

If you notice within that same blog entry, my most beloved pair of black boots are completely worn out. They have been the best pair of boots I have EVER owned. I just have to remember that I can't wear them when it's slippery as the treads are gone, and have even started to wear slight holes in the sole. I have never done that before. Just goes to show you how much I have worn them.......

I just wish that I could replace my boots with the same brand, style and colour. Alas, they have been discontinued. Sad.

My new love in the meantime are these:














Blundstones can be very expensive so I am on the lookout for deals. Softmoc every so often has an "family and friends" sale which is 30% off the whole store....and then I get an additional 10% off for being a Sunnybrook employee.

I can handle that....but can't handle waiting for the frickin' sale to come back.

Patience has never been a trait of mine - when it comes to shoes and jackets, at least.

In the last year or so, I have made friends with a girl I pseudo-grew up with named Kari. Her parents and my aunt/uncle are friends, so we were always at the same weddings, showers, funerals, etc. Since becoming good friends with her, I have realized that we share the same love of shoes and sneakers. Mind you, I have many friends that love shoes, but they are the girly type - strappy and heely and shit. Not Kari. We like boots and sneakers.

Tomorrow we have a date to go shoe shopping. I haven't looked forward to anything recently, but in this case, I can't wait! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
