Shoes I Love

barbara

I love shopping and most of all, I love shopping for shoes.  I buy a pair or two every month.  My favorites are wedge shoes.  They are  the rage  now. Women’s wedges are extremely fashionable and fun to wear.  They are also very comfortable, especially in the warm weather.  Wedges come in all styles and height, and they range from casual to elegant.  Wedge shoes add height and I find them easier to walk in than stilettos.  Just recently, I found a few pairs that I simply adore.  Check out my favorite picks below.

shoe1

Tory Burch – Kristen Bleach Canvas.  It has the classic espadrille look but with heel.

shoe2

Another one of my favorite is this Kork Ease Sandal – Ava Natural Buff Leather. It looks so chic.

shoe3

Vaneli for Jildor – Pavel Tortoise Patent Leather Upper.  The open-toe style is sexy and elegant.

These wedge shoes look great with any length skirt or dress.  I love to wear them with my straight-leg jeans.  Oh did I mention that these gorgeous shoes are available at Jildor?  This popular online ladies shoes store has a great selection of bold, sexy and fun wedges.  If you are not into wedges, no worries.  Jildor has some of the hottest shoes this season.  So hurry and visit JildorShoes.com now and give your shoe collection a makeover.

Maxi Dresses

barbara

Whenever I see some women wearing maxi dresses, I feel a tinge of envy.  Effortlessly elegant, the maxi dress is flattering and is a nice change a girl’s typical wardrobe.  These long flowing dresses are also a favourite among celebrities.   Maxi dresses are just perfect for the summer.  Oh how I wish I could wear one.  I am just not brave enough because I do not have the height to pull it off and I am also weight-challenge.  I do not look good in one.  For the height part, I know I can always wear a pair of stilettos but the weight?  Perhaps I should take a few fat burner pills and lose some weight?

Holiday By The Beach

barbara

In a few days’ time, me and my family will be going away for a couple of days.  This is our first vacation in many years.  We will be heading to an island and spending some time at a beach resort.  There is nothing like relaxing on the beach, listening to the waves.  I told my husband that I don’t think I would want to leave the resort and venture out for sightseeing around the island.  It is better to relax at the beach resort.  Maybe for our next vacation, we would get an rv and drive up north.  That would be very enjoyable too.

Fabric Wall Decals

barbara

I was blog-hopping just now and stumbled upon some lovely wall decals that are made from fabric.  My goodness, they are just the cutest.   Unlike the usual vinyl decals, these fabric ones are removable, reusable and washable.  Thus they are just perfect for children.  These fabric decals can be scrunched into a ball and un-scrunched easily.

My favourite is this Dress-Up Dolls. So colourful 😀  Hmm…I wonder if they have cell towers designs. Great for my husband’s home office.
