Dear Wedge Sneakers,

When I bought you, I was so excited. I know you are not of the famous and expensive Isabel Marant variety, but you were affordable for me and cute.

I vowed to wear you all the time, but lately I have been drawn to dressier pieces. I'm sorry you have been sitting in the closet for so long, lonely and footless. It's not because I don't love you. You're one of those items I get excited to wear because you're still a novelty to me.

You look great with jeggings and I'm super-pumped to style you with my faux leather pants.

XOXO

Party Clothes

Before you say, "she wore THAT to a party?" let me explain. The party was for a one year old. I felt the polka dots and the bright scarf would be appropriate to appeal to the crowd (10-ish kids from ages 0-5). I tied the scarf around my ears when things got too noisy.... always thinking ahead!

Pumped Up Kicks

The original Isabel Marant wedge sneakers are truly amazing, right? How could a zillion supermodels be wrong?

Not so amazing is the hefty price tag – in the vicinity of $700. Unfortunately, most of us don’t operate on a supermodel’s salary.

Wait – there is hope! My prediction is that low to mid-range wedge sneakers will be one of the most rampant trends of 2013.

These Skechers are so comfortable. They have a three inch hidden wedge. I had a hard time deciding between black and tan but I'm happy with my choice!

Here's a fun writing prompt from Plinky!

If you had to evacuate your home in an instant, what five items would you grab on your way out?

1)      My boyfriend. We’re an item. He counts.

2)      My photo albums from Australia. It took me about five years to assemble and journal them, and they remind me of the best year of my life (so far).

3)      My car keys with the cute flower keychain

4)      My Coach bag – the brown leather one. I’m using it at the moment so it’ll have some goodies in it like my wallet, lipgloss, and some migraine meds as I’m sure I’m stressing over why I’ve fled my home.

5)      My jewellery box. The box itself was a gift from my Gram and I keep my nicer pieces in it (generally from people who mean a lot to me).

What would you grab on the way out?
