Now that I have crossed the bridge...

I finally got to see Manolos in person. And Jimmy Choos too. At a Saks Fifth Avenue in one of the more upscale local malls.

What left me drooling and googly-eyed would be a pair of Prada boots they had at the same store. Too bad they cost more than my monthly rent. I found a very similar pair not too long afterwards that cost me one tenth of the price of the Prada ones. I've worn them to work and have gotten many compliments on them. They are cute. They are comfortable. They are stylish. They work for me.

Went to a Holiday Ball last Saturday. An acquaintance of mine had the cutest shoes- they were high-heeled peeptoes/sandals with bows on front (I wish I could find a picture of similar ones- they were absolutely beautiful). But with that heel, there's no way I could have danced in them- and how fun are balls if you cannot dance? She was not dancing- but I danced away all the calories I had eaten that day. I was wearing a pair of simple black pumps myself.
