Saturday, my mom and I went to the Houston Galleria to do a little shoe shopping. Now, with my husband's thirtieth birthday in a little over two weeks my mom had the job of keeping me from making any rash decisions. Before leaving home, I decided to take a peek at Nordstrom's Shoe Department since they are having their Anniversary Sale. While I didn't see anything that I felt that I just had to have on sale. There was a pair of Sam Edelman shoes that required a second look.
Our first stop was DSW, where my mother found a sensible pair of Enzo Angiolini pumps that elongated the leg with it's pointy toe. Next, we hit Dillard's in search of our favorite shoe salesman, C, who unfortunately was not there. Normally, if there is no CJ, there is no purchase. But the last couple of pairs of black shoes I've purchased were suade and I was in desperate need of a non-fuzzy pair of black shoes. Ocassionally...I marry a shoe maker. lol! And a couple of years ago, I united with Vince Camuto in holy matrimony. He's been so good to my feet, adorning them in elaborate fabrics and jewels. Months ago, I found a pair with intricate stitching and several other fabulous details. They had my heart! Unfortunately, I walked out of the store without them. Every time I returned to the store, I'd left my heart sitting on a shelf. A couple of weeks ago I saw that they'd been marked down online. So, I'm at the store with my CJ stand-in asking him why these shoes aren't marked down. The pair on display is a 8.5 which means they've nearly sold out. And da-dada-daaaa...markdown tag appears!!! They were on sale for less than I remembered. Umm, sir, that's a "P" for purchase.
I didn't even need to try them on because I'd set my sights on something almost too fabulous for words. It was the shoe that I'd seen on Nordstrom's website...the Sam Edelman. They were to-die-for!! The picture online didn't do them any justice, which is why I've decided not to post it here. lol! They'd just arrived in the store. Just last week, I'd tried on a pair of Sam Edelman shoes that I thought I would definitely be adding to my ever expanding shoe wardrobe...but this pair tops them all! I placed the shoe on my foot and suddenly I was transported to a fairytale wonderland where all things were beautiful and fabulous. It's a mullet of a shoe...all business in the front, and a party in the back. Just my kind of shoe! Unfortunately, the price tag would force me to change some of my plans for the hubby's birthday...so I left the store without them. But I promise I'll be back!!! Perhaps I won't divorce Vince, I'm thinking I'll just make Sam "the other man". :-)
Oh, and I also got an adorable pair of sandal (slash) booties from Nordy's!
Stay Stylish,
