although i am a bit obsessed with pretty shoes…pretty high heeled shoes…i don’t usually think of flats as an option…but these sweet pale pink ballet flats with ribbon are so lovely…i may now become a “flats” girl too…perfect for a wedding or a dinner date or just hanging around the house….j’adore

hope your day is full of pretty shoes…xoxo
i am only half joking….
i was photographing a friend the other day…a good friend…the kind of friend who insists on paying me for my work, but who i refuse to except money from….this type of friend is rare & i can count on one hand the number of friends that fit into that category….in any case, after an afternoon of photographs she gave me this beautiful pair of manolo blahnik patent leather nude & white mary janes…that’s right SHOES…beautiful shoes….i blushed…i couldn’t accept…she insisted….and now miraculously they sit in my home, smiling at me every time i walk by…& i had i thought as i gazed at these beauties….i will “work for shoes”….some days exchanging money for photographs takes the air out of my sails…i know i know…i have three children…a mortgage…and so on….this is my job…my career & how i support my family…it’s just that money visits my bank account & always has to leave unexpectedly…some bill or commitment lures my hard earned dollars away…but shoes…shoes linger…they wait patiently in my closet until i take them on a little outing…they make me happy, even on the most uneventful of days….so i am thinking from time to time i will work for shoes…for my sanity…& becasue, well…they are SHOES….so mr. louboutin if you are listening, give me a call…
i’m all yours….xoxo
