maryjanes. i love them. all styles. i had several pair as a child that i wore to church that were patent leather. if i could find a pair of patent leather maryjanes in my size i would snatch them up in a heartbeat! but i saw these red ones and fell in love. it was one of those things where you are walking by, and an item catches the corner of your eye, so you move in closer, and closer still...i picked up the shoe, stroked it and thought, "oh these are cute, but i would never wear them, they are red...and i need another pair of black maryjanes like i need a hole in my head." i was not even supposed to be shopping...what started out as an innocent run to starbucks with a friend, somehow ended up being me at the nine west store spending $100 on shoes! and i was gonna be good too, but then i was with taina. we are always encouraging each other to buy the things we don't need, but really deep inside want! "oh lisa! these are so cute! just try one on and let's see what it looks like on your foot...you really should get the red ones, just for fun...look how cute they are!! oh you gotta get these lisaaaaaaa!!!!" well, i got them AND the black pair since it was buy one get the other half off!! jay says i can't leave the house with taina anymore! oh, i was planning on buying shoes anyway, but these:
i still want these, but i can only find them at j.jill...so they will have to wait since i just made a big shoe purchase. i know how this looks...it looks like i have an obsession with shoes. i really don't have very many pairs...lol! i can't count on my hands how many pairs i have, but hey, i really don't have an obsession!! really. i just love shoes...

do you know what happens when you leave 6 chocolate cupcakes, with sprinkles, on the kitchen table, unattended, with a toddler around?

we were going to have them for dessert too...so much for that!!

Oh my gosh, he looks so innocent, lol! What cupcakes mom?

LOVE those pink shoes, they look perfect for Spring days. Hmmm, J. Jill tends to overprice their clothes for the quality (either I wash them incorrectly, or they naturally shrink in the arms and I have loooong arms which is a problem). I wonder if the quality of their shoes are better 'cause they are cute!

I'm sure those cupcakes were just calling his name. He looks so innocent (well, except for the icing mouth there!)

Love the mary janes - the red looks SO fun!

What a seriously funny picture! He should have said, "See Mommy, I told you I could eat them all!"

I sure wished you live here in DFW. I can't pick out a good lookin' pair of shoes to save my life! It's a sad day when you need hubby to come and help you pick your own shoes!
