Blame it on the thesis

So I got into a huge deep-blue thesis-funk last Thursday. I scheduled an emergency haircut for Friday morning, and slunk off to the boy's on Thursday night for some cuddles (and Thai beef salad. The boy rocks in the kitchen)

At the hairdresser, I pouted hard enough, Park (hairdresser) relented and gave me the fringe I've wanted for 8 months. I now have an eyelash (yes, that's right.. eyelash) skimming fringe, and look more like an anime cartoon than ever. The boy is delighted... *roll eyes*. so revamped, I walked out of the salon, and past a swanky shoe store... and found myself inside before I realised it :P

so many pretty shoes.... I ended up buying two pairs (on sale... I could never ever afford the non-sale prices on these babies...) One is on layby. here's the one that came home with me:


yes, they are ridiculously high (almost 5 inches). It appears when i am miserable, I tend to go for super killer heels... and yes, i have fallen over once already (it was dark and i didn't see the big slippery rock).

And here's what I received in the mail a few weeks ago. I love them... they zip up at the back. I love that raspberry tubular strap.... The only thing that makes me slightly sad is the fact that I have skinny feet with very low arches, and so one of the straps that go across my foot is loose :(
I got them on sale. They originally retailed for an obscene amount in USD... which I refuse to publicly disclose. I also refuse to say how much i ended up forking over. Its all too mortifying... the depths of my shoe-whoredom.
I say bring on summer!
Pictures of second shoes to follow in two weeks... and perhaps DrQ colourblock handbag I recently acquired :D

Oh they are lovely Lyn! I love the contrast of the pastels against the shock of raspberry. What will you wear them with? I've had a bit of a raspberry fetish myself (I blame this on Marni).

well I am on a hunt for a long, maxi dress which is a deep reddy maroon colour. and I have a recently shortened white wrap dress. and i will be wearing high-waisted shorts and with a red and white striped teeshirt (still hunting for that one!)

so many permutations!
