Holiday Shoes and Pretty Things

It was a crazy week last week. Between calling schools, flying solo, cold air, and 'the moodiest week of the month', I was spent. I took the haydster out to find some shoes for him, and passed the clearance racks at Dillard's


I had to have them, of course. Are they too much "Dorothy"?
Do snowflake socks make these official winter wear?

Anyway, I hope I have a legitimate reason to wear them on Valentine's. They are Gianni Bini heels and I snagged them for 23 bucks.


I received a few of the valentines from my exchange. Look at this little darling one.


Looking at it makes me feel young



I made these to send out



and for around the house, peek at this adorable wall plaque from Shopko (shocking, I know)




you could drape a romantic scarf around your bedside lamp
instead of worrying about candles to enjoy a softer glow



I have also decided if it requires a dress this winter, I will also be donning my
birthday boots, leg warmers, and thick tights.

That's a fun post. I'm ready to Valentine up my house now.
Last night I saw tall socks with high heels and after reading this post I just retraced my blog hopping steps trying to find it, to no avail.
Well, yours are darling!

Those shoes rock! Love all your Valentine touches. Your blog header is so sweet. I have two boys and 1 daughter but she's gone away to college so now I'm surrounded by guys too. Blogging is a great outlet for my girlie stuff! Just found your lovely blog via My Romantic Home. I'm your newest follower and would be delighted to have you follow me back!
Happy Valentine's Day!

I love a good Dillards sale, especially on shoes. I am currently wearing my favorite Gianni Bini nude heels. At Christmastime I found a really great pair of over the knee black suede boots. Who says you have to spend a lot of money to look amazing.
