Gotta make a statement... A bold one!

Well it was time to finally breakdown and make a big purchase in my life. I have been dealing with a dilemma of having no closed toe shoes to wear when it starts to cool down here other than tennis shoes or dressy boots. I needed and "in-between" shoe that could be nice looking, but not too dressy. Well let me tell you I had my eye on a very special pair of shoes for some time now and last week I bit the bullet and spent the fortune to buy them. Apparently they are a hot item here because most stores did not have them in stock. I found a store that would ship them to my house for free and believe me, I was tracking their status every day on the UPS website. Well Wednesday was the day and I knew to expect them between 9 am and 7 pm. I sat on the couch anxiously awaiting the UPS man, but apparently he chose to come while I was gone to Target for the last hour of the day. Don't worry I wore these beauties all during the CMA awards. I love them and know they will turn many heads on the streets this winter.

I introduce to you my new, very BOLD statement...






These lovely leopard print danskos may even make it to work with me occasionally to dress up my blue scrubs.
Best part about them is that they can be worn with black or brown!!!!
Happy shoe shopping!

An update of my home

Below are just a couple of photos I took this evening after enjoying 3 hours of CMA watching. These are just to give those of you who have not visited an idea of some recent home renovations Cortney and I have completed.

My bedroom with my bed unmade and a picture purchased at Ikea in Salt Lake!

The island that was once maroon and has acquired fabulous knobs from anthropologie

The living room with fall decorations (thanks to Kaytee) and a new fireplace screen


Our cheery little dining room with a new valance and a new "sunny" paint job on the table



Just a little insight into where I live and enjoy staying warm!!!!

My "Rents"

A tribute to my parents for coming to spend a fun-filled fall weekend in Boise with me. Thanks for buying for me, letting me beat you at skip-bo, and delivering my new ride (razor scooter!!!). Thanks for bring the fun :)



P. S. Dad your sweater doesn't look too "jacked up" in this one, and now we have evidence that mom is the boss of you by making you wear black :)
