Aerosoles Boots purchase!

I'm so excited about this most recent buy that I got with my birthday money and the other pair that my mom bought for me as a gift for the holidays, that I absolutely must share with you.

Aerosoles is having a 20% off boots which are already on sale, so I took advantage of these real suede studded boots. They're flat, with a little bit of an arch for support. The model is called Sota Fountain and it fits my abnormally large calves. I usually have such problems finding boots, especially suede and leather boots, because of how large my calf muscle is and they are always too tight or will not pull up past a certain point. These boots absolutely delighted me and the pattern is so chic and fashionable that I'm sure that I'll wear them for years to come. They are sturdy and feel like they're made of thick suede, so you probably don't have to worry too much about wear and tear. These are perfect for Seattle's terrain, where I need a flat shoe but with arch support and comfort so that I can walk up and down the many hilly streets.





The regular price for these was $200, which is absolutely way more than I will ever pay for a pair of shoes, any kind of shoes. However, I was delighted to find out how big the sale was that they were offering! The yellow pair was retailing for $69.99 but with 20% off, they only came to $55.99. The black pair wasn't on such a large sale because it was $99.99 and with the 20% off it came to $79.99, apparently this color happens to be a lot more popular than the yellow so it doesn't go on sale with as big of a discount. So if you're interested in purchasing a pair, don't waste time! They come in olive and brown as well, with the olive color being on huge discount just like the yellow pair (as they consider it a less desirable color) and I am considering purchasing them too!!! Hurry if you want a pair, the sale will probably end soon or they 'll be out of stock.

You can find them online here.

Shoes are a Girl's Best Friend

... Or worst enemy.

You all know the feeling of achy feet, knowing that you're going to have blisters on your soles the second you take off that beautiful, yet completely impractical, pair of shoes. I've been on the hunt for the perfect mix of aesthetics and functionality, and I finally think I've found it! Originally, I was looking at a lot of 'designer' and 'fancy shoes' companies to make comfortable yet pretty booties, but I remembered back to the pair I could walk miles in: the Nike half-shoe, half-boot slouchy combination!

 Rather than get another pair, I opted for a more fashionable option, so I took a chance on the J-41 Mediterranean booties. The fabulous news is that I've walked a few miles in these already since I got them yesterday and it feels as though my feet are walking on pillows! They're highly padded inside.

I was astounded to see how cute these were, realizing that this company usually makes hiking shoes and assorted athletic footwear. I bought them in black from www.6pm.com, however, they ran a size too large (I was lucky I read online beforehand and got myself a 7.5 rather than my usual 6.5). Unfortunately, they can no longer be found there, I got them at a great deal for $60.00 with shipping inclusive but they were immediately sold out (you can try Sears).  They're also waterproof, which is great for those of us who live in cities that have daily drizzles, but refuse to wear those cliche rainboots.
