An addiction

I got a text from Kelly this Monday stating Oprah was having a show on shoes, accessories, and handbags. For a moment, I thought my dream had come true. The one where Oprah calls me, tells me she heard about the shoe hunt and wants to hunt too! But how could that be as I was driving in my car on my way home...then my high hopes went to worry. Was Oprah hosting an intervention? Were these women to just give those items up? How could she? This could be disastorious. So I couldn't text back as I was driving, going to pick up Jordan for basketball and my Pilates class. By the time we were back in the car, I forgot to call Kelly back to ask her all about it.

As it is Wednesday, I have time to search what Oprah may have been teaching the world on Monday. The seasons best- shoes, handbags, accessories. I have gone on the website and got sucked in to all of the ideas. I am so happy they agree that this season seems to be all about boots. I really had that feeling last year but was too afraid to be one of the first to place the pant leg back in the boot but I have come out of the closet on that one already this year! I am happy I did that while in Chicago a short time ago as that certainly seemed to be the trend. And the Oprah site has a whole section on over the knee boots! Told you! But, I completely disagree with them on one thing- the over the knee with the heel...who cares if it is Pretty Woman-ish, go for it! She also had a boot that was priced at $2,500. And the quote was about the "think of it in 10, 20, 30 years..." Why were they not whispering in my ear when I had those Guccis on?!?

So, as a result of my inquiry, 2 other great sites for you to consider in your shopping adventures...www.purseblog.com. This seems so cute, fun, needed. A couple of chicks coming together to blog about purse finds, deals, sales. Neat! And www.ideeli.com- excuse me for not knowing about sites like this and I may regret signing up. I'll keep you informed how this one goes or please give me feedback if you have ever done the same!

This web searching can be addicting so I better stop before I end up in rehab. Addiction can be a bad thing. Is there a rehab for shoe addiction? Can you imagine? You would be there with like 20 other girls all walking around bare foot..some talking about how their addiction has caused plantar fasciitis, bunions, spurs...group trips to DSW just to test us...no use of cell phones or computers. I would break down. I would come home, the closet empty except for a pair of flip flops...it would start all over as I attempt to super glue heels on those flops...

But we'll save that for after the hunting season (now I sound like an addict..."just one more...")

Happy Hunting to all you addicts!
Paula

Thank you for introducing me to your great blog. I have nothing to offer in terms of personal hunting experience---in fact if you saw my "rack" you would see what a novice I am--hardly worthy to be a part of your hunting group. 1 pair of boots, 1 pair of heels, an old Sonoma leather shoe and of course my Nikes. Nonetheless, I will try to do some research and develop my hunting skills. Thank you for the inspiration!
