Cage by Carlos Santana

Saturday night was a fun night for me. I got to hang out with a bunch of friends I hadn’t seen in a while, and I bought a fabulous pair of shoes that I can’t wait to wear for the perfect occasion. Yes, this all happened in the same location. Read the rest of this entry »

Lebootique Boot Sleeves

There’s nothing like a little retail therapy to boost my spirits, but when the one thing that gets me down is the economy, it makes for spending money harder to justify. I’ve had a new pair of knee-high boots on my want list for a while now. I recently had to part ways with one of my favorite pair of brown boots, and I’m currently searching for a replacement.
