I love these little lipsticks. they fit perfectly into a little purse or in your pocket when you go out - or when I go out, as the case may be. They were $1.00 each at Sally's Beauty Supply. They have a great selection of colors and they wear well. I'm very pleased with this VERY affordable purchase.

Goodwill. $5.

Awesome, right?

On my recent mall trip, (mentioned in a previous post) I bought my "Dexter" shoes. But that was not all. I also bought these:


Patent leather Oxfords - 2 inch heel, by Covington (bought at Sears - on clearance!) $20.


I can't remember the brand - but these beauties - also bought at Sears, cost me $15!! So cute - and I have a super cute purse that matches. Look for it in a future post.

I watch Dexter. I love Dexter. Michael C. Hall is easy on the eyes. Though, I've never ben a fan of blood and gore - I do have a pretty strong sense of justice - um, not like that!

Anyway, I saw these shoes online and put them on my "I want list". Online - even on Ebay - I couldn't find them for less than $45. And I try not to spend more than $30. I coined them the "Dexter" shoes. You'll soon see why.

While at the mall this past weekend, I took a detour into Hot Topic and my shock and awe the "Dexter" shoes were there. One pair. My size. 50% off.

Ta-da!

Rawrr... wait. These are zebra shoes. What kind of noise do zebra's make? I dunno, but these shoes are so hott they deserve a "rawrr!"
I got them on clearance for $20.00. They are by Rampage and bought at Steinmart.

Lovely, yes?

I'm not addicted.

I think Chicago winters have bummed my feet out a bit. There's really nothing less appealing to your feet than having them prance around in fabulous, yet, wet shoes. At the beginning of winter, I try. I fight the urge to wear ugly warm boots or comfy casual tennis shoes. I wear the 3 inch heels, the open toe flats, the sling back kitten heels. Of course, my feet are always wet and I continuously fall on my ass. So...

Come January, my feet rebel. And I pull out these:

Don't be a hater. They are comfortable, warm and waterproof, snow proof, slush proof. they are glorious. But ugly. Ok, fine.. they are fugly. I'm ashamed. In an attempt to let go of my shame and put my feet into fabulous winter boots, I spent a good two hours online searching, searching, searching.

I'm usually not very picky about my footwear - fabulous is fabulous. who cares if they are pinchy? Pinchy I can live with for a few hours. But winter boots? I'd wear them nearly every day (mostly to work) and that means they need to be just right.


I think, that the Chicago winters have also frozen my brain, because while spending hours searching for new boots I realized that there are a lot of rubber boots being used as snow boots and.... I HAVE RUBBER RAIN BOOTS!

Look at that - I saved myself some cash AND I have a "new" pair of shoes that I had forgotten I had. This could be the first sign that I have a shoe problem.
