Fantasy Footwear


As the rain has picked up lately and my everyday sneakers have become quite holey I have had footwear on the brain. I would eventually like to get a new everyday shoe that stands up to the rain, a fair amount of walking, and looks keen in several wardrobe combinations. Originally I was thinking about an English rainboot, but then I found this blog's suggestion, and everything changed. 


I think I'm in love with this shoe. 
Patent Oxfords, Dolce Vita


Waxed canvas = A rainy day sneaker!
High Tops, Gram


This classic's been on my list for at least several months...
Saddle Shoe, urban outfitters


*I want to add a disclaimer to this blog to interested parties that this is not a way of dropping-hints or suggesting holiday gifting. Many of the items I post on this blog are simply things I find inspiring or beautiful, intended just to shelve away in the annals of my forming design aesthetic. I keep them here for fantasy window shopping. 

On that note, family, we should discuss sometime (somewhere else) how to handle gifting this year. It is true this year that there are things I somewhat need (and with racked-up hours of internet perusing, would also love to give) but ever more I feel perplexed by consumerism and excess. um, plus I'm kind of broke...maybe we can work something out to make our holiday uniquely giving? :)

the definition of a gift is "something of ourselves we give others". everyone has a talent; a smile, a wink, a kind word, a story, a whistle, a picture, a knitted sock, a bound book, a song, a smirky look or an understanding nod.... material gifts are not always giving of ourself, just a substitute for taking time to reach into our heart and pull out something original....... so, does that mean you won't get the shoes? well, maybe not.......:)
