Shoes of ... my LIFE.

Summer is no longer in our sight...but do not fear, if my calculations are correct then we have 219 days left until summer, so it's practically right around the corner.  So, my advice would be to make sure you are prepared by having the following. A trusty pair of flip flops in at least every room of your house, and a pair of slip on kicks.  

These Rip Curl flops were bought nearing the end of August so they are still in great condition, so the four pairs I have at work, the one pair in the truck of my car (still in the wrapping) and the 15 pairs at my house are not in use for the moment. 

 

 These Roxy slip-ons have done me well for many years.  They used to be fuzzy inside, however, after many road trips and adventures to the beach, they are no longer fuzzy, but rather I find I can fit them with almost every outfit under the sun.  However, I accidentally forgot my Nikes for Physiotherapy last week and felt like kind of a tool wearing these and doing exercises in a weight room ... BUT that's the only time they won't work;).

I am trying, I do believe the frost did looked quite pretty on the rooftops today, and the snow covered mountain tops are making our gorgeous Vancouver, BC city look quite amazing. 

Nevertheless, my denial continues and I'll be wearing my extra layers up top for the next little while - so that my toes-in-denial can continue to wear their preferred footwear for a while longer...if not forever.

Shoe of the Week.

I actually really like these.  I was walking down Commercial Drive, here in Vancouver, BC and saw them in the window of a consignment store.  They give me a Fairy Tale - Cinderella type feeling when I see them.  Never seen someone with a pair on, but I like to think they'd look rad.  Black dress and these on - I think a girl would be set for the evening.

Peace and Love.

THIS walking dude is TOO legit to QUIT.  This photo does not do the brightness of his t-shirt justice by any means.  However, it caught my attention so much so that I RAN (literally) across a busy Vancouver street, leaving my friends behind, interrupting him and his large group of friends that did not speak English to try and explain that I needed a photo of him.  Needless to say, welcome to summer y'all.  This shirt is what dreams are made of. 

uggggggggh....a sad time of year...but I tried!

I'm having a hard time here in Vancouver acknowledging that the summer has come and passed--and that the innocent can never last, maybe I'll wake up when September ends?  No not really, but I would prefer if during this season the ground was dry on occasion so I could wear flip-flops. Nonetheless we here in in the Pacific NorthWest have embraced the UGGGgggg boot phenomenon with full force. Any day now, I shall be expecting the masses of Lululemon pants and tan boots to come streaming out to play, as the fall season is upon us and winter is slowly approaching. I decided to try a pair on last week and to my surprise they were quite comfortable. Mind you, the boot was the same length as my leg (a meter high) and it was kind of hard to bend my knee, but I figure that's just because I didn't have my Lululemon pants on.  I hear they are good for Yoga and bending and such... so perhaps once I buy them I'll have more luck with the whole mobility thing. My one puzzling thought though, is that we here in Vancouver, BC experience more rain than Noah's Ark floods (I am SURE of that, because I asked Noah) so how can these fantastically mobile and comfortable boots keep my toes from the rain?  Maybe that magical spray shoe salesmen always try to sell me at the till as I am paying for my purchase will help. "So, that'll be $500.00, would you like this magical spray that will keep your boots from soaking with water if you ever remember to spray them for an extra $50.00?" Or maybe not. 

Anyways, that's all, thought you should know I did try them this season. I also have decided I will try harder to find a trend that suits this dry and warm city for the next few months. So far my two options may not be the best for me personally--BUT, don't worry/lose sleep over it or anything, I'll keep you posted on my quest for what not to wear, I mean, what TO wear during Vancouver's finest season.
 

In the meantime, I think I'll stick to slippers.


side-note: please forgive tights under heel with flip-flops, it was cold--I know, fashion DISASTER.
