PURCHASE PROFESSION FRIDAY

Now ladies, I don't know if you have discovered the power of shopping on Amazon yet or not { I mean, it was first introduced to me when I met my Mister, so really he should blame himself  and not me for this post purchase }, but it is, to say the least, AH! MAZE! ING! Really.  And, if you sign up for Amazon Prime you get free 2 day shipping.  I have already turned my girlfriends onto this.  But, I digress.


The point of telling you all of this is that I got these babies on major sale and I tell you they are, in a word, perfect! I had been pining over them every time I walked into Bloomies.  I finally broke down and did a little internet search on my own and that is when I found that they were practically paying me to take them off of their hands.


They are intimidatingly high yet surprisingly easy to walk in.  Kid you not.  And at that steal of a price, I splurged on the red. I plan to wear them on my next date, which inevitably means walking five blocks { at the very least } to the subway.  I swear to the shoe gods I will be able to keep up with my Mister without a hitch in my high-heeled-giddy-up or breaking a sweat for that matter { both of which have happened a time or two }.

PURCHASE PROFESSION FRIDAY

While visiting Los Angeles last month I also visited my mecca. Ever since moving to NYC I have been deprived. My Mister and I checked out the new Nordstrom on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica and picked myself up a little amazing souvenir. My Mister will claim temporary insanity but to my utter shock and incredible justification skills { sometimes I even surprise myself } he didn't totally put the kibosh on my purchase.

Could have been his vacation brain or the fact that I was reminiscing about out h-moon in Italy { where all the ladies wore wedges at night so their heels didn't get caught in the cobble stone streets }. Either way, I am totally talented wearing these right now in my uncomfortably un-modest bikini and when we go back to Italy { some day }.

Purchased at Nordstrom

P.S. I went up a half size in these and I also had several of the straps taken in by a cobbler { I have narrow feet which makes it hard to wear strappy shoes and worse, is a visual mind f***. My feet appear WAY longer than they are. Black flats, the worst. Just saying. }

PURCHASE PROFESSION FRIDAY

I had my eye on this amazing little spring/fall { for those of us unfortunately on the East Coast, but fall/winter/cool-year-round-nights lucky enough to be on the west coast } number ever since I spotted a picture of one of the Olsen twins { don't judge, I love them } wearing it. I think it was MK if I remember correctly. Trying to be the responsible Misses to my Mister that I am I stocked it and then watched in horror as it became sold out after going on sale. To my surprise { and literally what I took to be a sign form the Gods } it came back...on sale...in my size { also a sign: there was only one left in my size }. I threw caution to the wind and ordered it with one swift click of a button { that's a dangerous little feature }. In my defense { my Mister } I am ALWAYS cold and have already worn it { and loved it } a ton + I got free shipping!

Funny, my timing lined up just perfectly with the trip my Mister and I took to Los Angeles last week where I needed a jacket but not a down parka that even the fur lined attempt-at-cute hood can't save from frumpville . It was, in a word, perfection.
