Shoes and the city

I saw this sign today at a shoe store:

MAN I LOVE GEORGE CLOONEY!!!

Or at least I love the idea of him as an excuse to buy shoes. I’ve just finished watching Ocean’s Eleven and Twelve a couple of nights ago. Such charisma! I’ve been bombarded by gorgeous shoes left and right since I got here. No matter where I went there’s always a cute shoe around the corner! So. Many. Stilettos! Plus its sales period so it’s quite unavoidable. Jimmy Choo just opened up shop recently and Manolos and Louboutins are in abundance. And on sale! I definitely picked a good city to move to. And I’ve just finished reading The Shoe Queen by Anna Davis. Great read, such a fabulous obsession! Picked it up from a second hand book store on King St. However I have been on my best behaviour. Still only have the three pairs of shoes I came with.

I am on a quest for the perfect pair of boots, which has taken up the obsession slot and at the rate I’m going by the time I find it, it will be summer already. It’s hard to find the right slouch, the right height, the right leather grain, the right heel, the right hardware, the right toe.. asdfgghhh.. it seems easier finding a needle in a haystack but I’ve only been at it for two weeks… :/ Think I’ll give it another two weeks before I give up.

However I came across this at David Jones (I think! Kinda lost track of the amount of shoe places I went):

Aiyoh, soooo cute right?? I’m so in love with it! It reminds me of the first pair of peep toes I drew, it had a little bow in the front that looked exactly like the ones on this pair. And black patent leather is my new obsession. How cute is that arch? Love, love, lurrrrve!

Sigh.

Didn’t buy.. no date with George Clooney.. sniff..

OK, back to boot hunting…
