Shoes ~ Again

,

There's nothing that cheers you up like a good round of shoe shopping.

I was taking a walk the other day, and on my way home I passed my local shoe shop. They didn't have anything interesting in their show window, but I felt like browsing around in there anyway. So I went in, having a look around. They did have some cool ones, but the ones I fell for were only in sizes smaller than my feet. Typical! :irked:

I was just about to leave the shop, when I saw something. There... up there on the top shelf... A pair of red pumps. Whoa... I liked them right away, but he only had one size displayed, which is never a good sign. I took them down, turned them upside down and I almost couldn't believe my luck: They were my size!

I tried them on before checking the price, and it felt as if they were sewn just for me! I took a walk around the shop in them, and they were just perfect. I knew I wanted them, so even though the price made me gasp, I bought them. I've learned that life is simply too short for crappy shoes.

Here they are:


Cool, don't you think?


It's not often you see shoes from "Fly" here, which is a shame, because they always have some seriously cool details on them.

This is the underside of the shoes. Cool, eh?


That's how easy it was to brighten up a grey, dull day! :happy:

:cool: shoes. :yes:
:sst: And awesome pictures, as ever. :yes:

Maybe there's something I'm missing, but won't the intricate details on the underside of the shoes be worn away before long? Seems a rather pointless endeavour to me. awww

Angeliki 31. May 2009, 05:08

loves me some "fly" shoes too! Cool beyond cool!

size 7&1/2 in black please! p:

Zaphira,
wear them in fun dates,wild nights and in a good health!

PS
Love, absolutely positively I love the stockings!

Kitty 31. May 2009, 05:08

Thanks Moe - :happy:

The detail with the ribbon will not be worn away because of the heels - I don't step on that area. The fly however, yeah, it might disappear at some point. I see it added mostly for fun, no one will see it but the owner. :up:

Kitty 31. May 2009, 05:11

@ Angeliki ~ Thank you - I knew I wanted them the moment I saw them. :yes:
But they weren't available in black. awww

As you might have noticed, I like cool stockings as much as I like cool shoes. Unfortunately those on the picture didn't survive throughout the day. :sigh:

Moesring 31. May 2009, 05:14

I just realised that the top picture is a Kitty's-eye view. To think that I hadn't noticed that the camera is at :cat: height until now. Homer: Doh!

Does this often happen when you buy new shoes? You get home and a nasty woman snatches two of your four new shoes, and then she forces you to take pictures of her wearing your shoes? :irked:awww

After all, they can't be your paws in the shoes. The legs are too long to be a cat's - plus there is no fur on them. :rolleyes:
Tell the nasty woman to give you back your nice red shoes. :Zaphira:

Carol 31. May 2009, 05:26

:cool: Didn't expect to see anything on the bottom. :cool:
:love:

Ana 31. May 2009, 07:18

Now the red ones! Really cool Zaphy :D

You don't mind me calling you that way? Do you? I "heard" Mik calling you that way, and i liked it. :smile:

Kimmie 31. May 2009, 09:41

Seriously cool. I love it when stuff like that happens, just when you're about to give up looking :D

Santa Furie 31. May 2009, 10:17

For me, life is too broke for expensive shoes. p:

dɹɐzılpǝkɔıw ɐʞɐ ɹǝɥgɐllɐg lǝbɐsı 31. May 2009, 10:39

I love Fly London's! They are so comfy aren't they? :D


I think I spoke of them to you before when you bought your purple shoes. The Fly's are designed by a portuguese guy! :D

Cois 31. May 2009, 10:51

Girly post Homer: Doh!

Angeliki 31. May 2009, 11:36

"I like cool stockings as much as I like cool shoes"

:o: same here,
but my spending on purses could have bought me another apartment,thousands and thoudands of dollars,I call my pocketBook area in my closet "My Bank Savings"....

dɹɐzılpǝkɔıw ɐʞɐ ɹǝɥgɐllɐg lǝbɐsı 31. May 2009, 11:42

:lol: I prefer a good pair of shoes. Nothing beats comfy shoes for getting around! I enjoy walking as much as I can! A bag for me just hangs on my shoulder - I don't care how much it costs, as long as I like it and it carries my stuff. :lol:

Angeliki 31. May 2009, 12:05

:cry: not the bags! they are the best part of an outfit! I can pay 900 USD for one great bag at least three to four times a year :smile: and I love all of them :happy:

Cois 31. May 2009, 12:08

I pay 50 south african cents for a plastic bag that has the functionality of a 900 USD bag :lol:

Angeliki 31. May 2009, 12:23

yeah right!
I bet it matches your Channel outfit too! p:

David Scott Aubrey 31. May 2009, 12:39

You could paint successive coats of lacquer over the fly to build up a protective coating, maybe ...

David Scott Aubrey 31. May 2009, 12:48

Seriously - like decoupage.

Angeliki 31. May 2009, 12:50






Kitty 31. May 2009, 13:40

@ David ~ I am afraid that decoupage would make the shoes rather slippery to walk in, don't you think? :left:

@ Moe ~ I think the "nasty woman" is going to keep the shoes. :D

@ Carol ~ Thanks - I think it's a cool detail, even though it's only me (and you dudes and dudettes) that see it. :yes:

@ Ana ~ Thanks. :cool: And no, I don't mind, I like that. :up:

@ Kimmie ~ It's rather typical for me. If I am searching for something in particular, I don't find it. If I go in without expecting to find something - *dang* there it is! :D

@ Mik ~ Yeah, well... at this speed I might be there pretty soon too.

@ Issy ~ Yes, they are amazingly comfy, it's so cool. And yes, you did mention Fly's when I put up my purple shoes.
On my way home from a walk today I saw a pair of green ones, hmmm... maybe... :lol:

@ Cois ~ Girly is good! :yes:

@ Angeliki ~ I don't have the same thing with bags, that I have with shoes (thank god for that!) - I have a couple, but I usually use the same one. I can't be bothered to move everything from bag to bag. P:

Hermitess 31. May 2009, 13:44

:lol:

:eyes: whoa, and I thought I was bad about bags. I'm kinda cheap though, I buy 6 or 7 a year but wont pay more than $50 US for them. :right: :D

Cool kicks Zahphira! I'm not a big shoe person but those are pretty nice. The detail on the bottom is unexpected and very neat! :yes:

Kitty 31. May 2009, 13:46

You buy 6 or 7 bags every year...? :eyes:

And thanks - I like the detail too! :yes:

Carol 31. May 2009, 14:57

:smile:

Charles Schloss 31. May 2009, 15:14

Wow shoe detail

I see what all the buzzzz it about

Angeliki 31. May 2009, 15:49

@ Zaphira,
i think I know what to send you for Xmas... an easy tool that makes transfer of things a snap!

Homer: Doh! it could have been a guessing item!

Kitty 31. May 2009, 16:03

Around Christmas everybody will have forgotten that you've mentioned it, so it's not too late for that. :up:

Angeliki 31. May 2009, 17:23

:yes:

Angeliki 31. May 2009, 17:30

"but wont pay more than $50 US for them'

there are some with 20.00 USD
but I like designed bags...

Kitty 31. May 2009, 17:48

The one that popped up first costs 3,250$!!!

:faint:

Angeliki 31. May 2009, 18:04

:D some do,
I said I am bad ...

Kitty 31. May 2009, 18:06

Oh yes, that is seriously bad, Angeliki. :eyes:

Angeliki 31. May 2009, 18:10

:smile: its ok Kitty,
I am in a comfortable place these days,
it is OK ...

*hugs*

Kitty 31. May 2009, 18:11

That's good to hear! :happy:

*hugs*

Matthew 31. May 2009, 20:22

I'm glad you found the perfect shoes for your day and your mood. :0

I can't shop that way, though. I go to a store to buy what I want. If they don't have it, I leave. I don't go poking around to see what else I could buy, instead. And I do not go browsing. I get really uncomfortable knowing that I am falling into their psychological marketing trap. :insane:

Kitty 31. May 2009, 20:30

We stepped right into a huge difference between the genders here.

You see, I didn't go in there to find a specific pairs of shoes, I just went in there to see if there was anything I might like. And I love browsing - especially when I have lots of time doing it. :up:

Santa Furie 31. May 2009, 20:46

Men browse when we've got no money. That way we know exactly what we want, have researched it to make sure, and have the right money on us when we walk into a shop to buy something. :happy:

Kitty 31. May 2009, 20:47

I have a VISA. I don't have to have money to shop. :lol:

Santa Furie 31. May 2009, 20:59

Men created credit and store cards so that women would always be in debt and never rule the world. p:

Charles Schloss 31. May 2009, 21:07

Cois 31. May 2009, 21:27

:lol:.. BURN!

Suntana 31. May 2009, 22:33

Within the next 12 months, will everyone of your pairs of shoes be used at least once? Or could you actually do a little purging like you did with your Mobile Stuff drawer?

Angeliki 1. June 2009, 01:13

"Men created credit and store cards so that women would always be in debt and never rule the world."

proud to be free of any debt for the past 12 years :smile:
I might have a very expensive taste but I never spend unless I can pay my bills at the end of the month in full :smile:

*smiles even if her behavior sounds very "male" :eyes: *

Angeliki 1. June 2009, 01:14

Zaphira,
you know I am counting the new pairs... if you run a guessing game again I am for sure getting those chocolate chip cookies! p:

Charles Schloss 1. June 2009, 01:27

but I never spend unless I can pay my bills at the end of the month in full

:up:

Angeliki 1. June 2009, 01:32

thanks Chuck,
it is an unbroken rule! :smile:

No, probably not. Those I don't wear over the next year, will go in the next round of "closet cleaning". :yes:

Problem is that I don't blog about when I toss out some old ones. P: But okay, you have a better shot than all the others. :yes:

We'll see about that. :wink:
