Shoe Bliss

If you share my passion for cute shoes, you know how exciting it is to come across a pair that is unlike any pair of shoes you have seen before. I give you Irregular Choice's Driving Bananas. 

I love a good pair of moccasins, but lately I've been getting bored with them. I own them in many colors but these totally put my brightly colored ones to shame. Too bad these cost over 100USD. Irregular choice has these in several different color/pattern combos, but this pair is the clear winner for me. Maybe my husband will get me an early christmas gift....

Happy Black Friday!

One of my twitter contacts asked how I would be spending black friday. I responded:

@sweetlibertine watching people trample other people at wal-mart, my holiday entertainment.

not really true, I'm actually working, however, if I had free time today that's likely what I'd be doing. Because I find it funny that people think a $3 toaster is worth risking life and limb. I admit $3 for a toaster is a good deal, but toasters can't pay for your hospital bills after someone has trampled you in a wal-mart on black friday.
