New Shoes!

So Andyroo has joined the Cambridge Society of Belgium, which means that we went to their annual black tie dinner last night.

I was quite excited about it because it meant getting all gussied up. Initially I had plans of buying a new dress, getting my hair cut, having a facial, getting a pedicure and wearing blusher. I was going to go ALL OUT.

In the end, I settled for buying a new pair of shoes... But what a pair they were. Yes, yes, I know I am undoubtedly crazy, but I have taken several pictures of these lovely ladies.

Prepare to feast your eyes on beauty, sassiness and fantasmia. Prepare to see my shoes...

BEHOLD!

Oh, look at how adorable they are.... The flowers behind are beautiful birthday bouquets given to me by my loving husband and a very nice friend. Not to belittle the kindness of their gestures, but don't the flowers look kind of drab and sad next to my beautiful, beautiful shoes.

Another view. Look at their sweet little bow, which is just slightly off-kilter, so you don't take the shoes TOO seriously. They're shoes with a sense of humour, people
It's possible that my shoe-purchase was influence by this blog post by "Things I've Bought that I Love":

(Truth be told, this whole post is a rip-off of her website, but la la, I don't care).

That's my foot IN the shoe.
(yes, yes, my toes were completely numb by the end of the night, but if I had wanted comfort I would have worn Ugg boots)

Oh, look who's visiting again: My shoes! This time they're "roughing it" on my dining room table. Oh girls, you're too much.

Oh, and here I am, actually walking. Hurray shoes. Beautiful and useful!
