TRUE LOVE IS SHOE LOVE


I had to exchange the ones from the other day. They were way too high and I almost twisted my ankle! At home. On the carpet. That was a sign....

These are much more manageable and comfortable. I never thought I'd do a platform clog but here we are. These are super cute on and will go with just about everything including a great pair of wide leg jeans I have that I usually only wear flats with. Yay height!

A LITTLE PICK ME UP



I've had a terrible cold for the past week and just today felt decent enough to venture out. I took my dog for a really long walk and it felt good to get some fresh air and move my legs. In fact, it felt so good my legs took me shoe shopping! These are probably the highest heels (5.5 inches!) I've ever owned but the platform definitely helps. I needed a little pick me up from the boring week I've had so these did the trick.

MONDAY BLUES? TIME FOR NEW SHOES!

don't you, step on my blue suede shoes
farfalle with lamb and mint meatballs and fresh ricotta - delicious!
BEST cappuccino ever


Although it's my birthday today, we don't have anything special planned for this evening. I wanted to hold off until next weekend because I have to go to the hospital tomorrow for a biopsy, nice present huh? It's kind of a long story but to sum it up, I had a kidney transplant back in December and the last few weeks have shown some inconsistencies in my bloodwork numbers. We need to get to the bottom of it so a biopsy is really the only way to find out what's going on at this point - ugh. I've had four already to date so I know what to expect and it isn't all that pleasant. Oh well, I can't complain; I've been doing great, feeling good, and was fortunate enough to have my sister be my donor match. All in all I'm really, truly lucky and I try not to forget that.

*UPDATE: Good news! Biopsy results are back and there's no signs of rejection. I have something referred to as ATN which means the kidney has temporarily fallen asleep?! Nothing too serious but I'm slightly dehydrated so I need to drink TONS of water to wake up the little bean so it can do it's job :)

SADDLE UP

vintage Austrian riding boots


There's something about riding boots....I love them even though I've been on a horse exactly once in my life. I got these beauties at a little antique shop we like to visit when we go back east. I spotted them right away and zeroed in on them only to discover they had "display" marked on them - booooo! They had a gorgeous patina, worked in just so, and I knew they were my size just by looking at them. Well, let's just say after about 10 minutes I charmed Fritzie into selling them to me. As I tried them on, she shouted "they're perfectly made for you!" I couldn't agree more.

LOVE WANT NEED

Hermes clutch

Cartier "Love" bracelet

Nine West "Rocha" pump


I've been shopping up a storm lately in anticipation for Spring and my shopping list seems to be getting bigger and bigger by the day. I just discovered these super cute Hermes clutches online that come in amazing, fun colours and are right on cue for the upcoming season. I'm definitely going to my local Hermes boutique tomorrow to inquire. Second on my list is the iconic Cartier "Love" bracelet in gold. I've been keen on this piece for awhile now so I think I'm ready to bite the bullet, it's totally gorgeous! Third is the Nine West "Rocha" pump. I recently bought it in black and I have to tell you it's one of the most comfortable pair of heels I've ever worn! I'll need to pick these up in taupe.
