Raining Cats and Dogs
It's a hot mess in Southern California right now folks. We've had rain for 4 days straight and there's no end in sight. Yesterday we were supposed to get between 5 and 10 inches and I wouldn't be one bit surprised if it was more. People are either driving like maniacs or grannies - both techniques causing mad collisions: approximately 264 on Saturday alone. Drains are flooding, urban campers are fighting in the alleys over dry cardboard shelters and neighbors are arguing amongst themselves amidst the drone of car horn alarm systems far and wide that are failing due to wind and wet.
A trip to UPS allowed me to survey the damage and report back to you. Warning: unlike television's onsite reporters, I do not care to wear "the make-up" in a torrential downpour. I do however enjoy hauling out the appropriate rain gear. Might as well seize the day!
Flooded drains mean water darn near over the curb.
Cars splooshing through at top speed splashing pedestrians.
Niiiiiiiice last minute shoppers.
I came back home to the neighbors blasting
each other out as one moved out and apparently got
on the older lady neighbor's nerves.
Get over it honey! We're all getting pelted in the face
with rain and playing cat and mouse in traffic!!
(of course I didn't actually say that, but sure did think it)

I call this the "wait a minute I think it's stopped".
No. That would be a miscalculation on my part.
They call this maneuver the "wait! there's debris in the road!! I need
to slam on the brakes and get rear-ended by speeders behind me".

Shoe Kismet: Miu Miu Satin Sparrow Mary Janes
This weekend while the Chef was watching baseball (curses!) or prepping for our mini-Lost finale extravaganza, here's what I was doing:
These have been in my possession for 9 days and I have barely been able to contain myself. In a pneumonia-like delirium, while on the search for some trinket or another at Crate & Barrel, I asked if we could stop by Miu Miu to see if there had been an act of God and one pair of the Sparrow Mary Janes had been found in the stockroom.
No such luck. The Sales Associate did however whisper to me that another retailer had one pair left in my size. So I busted out in a sweat and ran off like my hair was on fire weaving through crowds to see if luck was on my side...And it was because these are a size 5.5 and I normally wear a 6.
When the Sales guy managed to get a word in edgewise while I skipped around like a fool, he asked me what I was going to wear them with. And in true shoe-crazed form I responded, "Uh, prolly with a dress or a skirt. And with my boyfriend jeans. And my skinny jeans. And, now that I think of it, I'll probably wear them when I get up, when I go to bed and maybe even in the shower." To which he promptly burst out laughing while my poor boyfriend shook his head.
So here they are with my boyfriend jeans. Super cute and casual. Granted they aren't the platforms everyone's raving about, but that doesn't matter I still love them.
I think it's very important not to over think this shoe or you run the risk of getting overwhelmed - at least I almost did. I'm gonna just go with it.
I have a tough time sitting still whether I'm sick or not so if the pictures are a little blurry blame it on the fidget. That aside, here they are with skinny denim at the pre-LOST partay. I didn't have time for a fashion show before LOST started so this is all I've got...still can't believe these shoessleep with me in my bed live in my closet.
This one's for the shoe guy...Bet he thought I was just joking around, huh?
Morgan Freeman wasn't kidding when he said "some birds aren't meant to be caged"...I plan to let them out as often as possible.
If you have a pair of these in platform or in the style I luckily found I would love to see what you're wearing them with...and for those of you still looking: may the shoe force be with you!
