Shoe Crush

"It's just (ahh) a little crush (ahh)..." (remember that song?)


So I have a shoe crush on the following shoes and I am having a really hard time not buying them. You see... I kind of have an obsession with shoes... and by kind of I mean a full on compulsion for looking at/trying on/purchasing shoes...

Columbia Drainmakers
Found these while we were in Hawaii! Would be awesome for all of the kayaking I do right? RIGHT?!? (Ireallyreallywantthembutcan'tbringmyselftospend$80onwatershoes)


Sperry Angelfish Boat Shoes
Awesome for all the boating I do? No, but they are super cute casual shoes...


Sperry Pelican - Grey Leopard
I loooove my big obnoxious hot pink rainboots, but they have definitely seen better days. I have been crushing on these for several months so I went ahead and got them!


Report Ebben in Bronze

Found these in Hawaii as well and couldn't stop thinking about them. I even dreamed about them when I was sleeping on the plane! I went ahead and ordered these online as well - thank you eBay for always having good deals!


I am super excited about the ones I just ordered (I love getting packages in the mail, even if I'm expecting them) and I can't wait to wear them!

Shoe # 1: Reebok RunTones

I waited soooo long to get these shoes. If you don't know this about me, I am very cheap frugal. I really don't like paying more than $30 for well... anything. If I have to spend more than $30 on a single item I really have to think about it. $50, I usually will leave the store and come back the next day if I still want it. $100... forget about it. I usually just hope I get those items for Christmas or Birthday and don't buy them otherwise. So when I saw the ads for the Reebok EasyTones and then for the Reebok RunTones, it pained me to not buy them right away. Not that I thought by putting on these shoes that I was immediately going to lose 10 lbs, but I really liked the way they looked and if they helped my butt look better while I was running.. well that was just great! So I asked for Visa gift cards and gift cards to Foot Locker for my birthday last year and then set out to find a pair that I liked. Normally I'm a pink/purple shoe kind of girl but this time I went with my childhood favorite color "Cerulean". I also looooove that they are grey because my adult favorite "color" is grey. Love these! The outfit I wore with these was running clothes as I just finished running 6.5 miles with Andi - whoo hoo! I was really proud of myself and it made me feel better about the half marathon that I talked myself into signing up for in April so yeah! We ran on the George Mitchell Nature Preserve trail and it was really nice. It made me feel like I wasn't in the middle of Suburbia, even though I was. Here are my babies!

Shoe Project 365

Have you heard of Project 365? That's when you take a picture every day and blog about it. Taking a picture, uploading, and posting daily is not an option for me (although it would be super fun!), but as I stared at my closet and finally counted the ridiculous amount of shoes I have (who needs 86 pairs of shoes?!?) I decided that in a quest to purge the shoes that I never wear/never will wear as well as get use out of more than just the 10 pairs I normally circulate, I will catalog each time I wear a different pair of shoes over the next year. Obviously I don't have 365 pairs of shoes so that will give me a little leeway in when I will post, but hopefully this will be a fun project for a shoe lover like myself. Here we go!
