Yes, after searching through Etsy, websites and numerous shoe stores around the city, I finally found and bought a pair of sturdy, lace-up boots! Perfect!

This will be my, I think, second year searching for the perfect casual, yet classic, boot. My main barrier in finding it has been price… still is, as the following list will show. So, these are my favorites from the more corporate outlets. (I still need to head over to Etsy, Ebay and the likes.)

Urban Outfitters
We Who See Leather Lace-Up, Frye Owen Lace

Anthropologie
Shoelaced Boots (they get a little star cuz they my faves), Button Brigade Boots

Free People
Johnny Ankle Boot, Barolo Buckle Boot,

I finally gathered up the guts to ask for a raise and I got it! Last night Jack and I went to Pershing Square (right out side Grand Central) to celebrate! YUM!

Afterward we walked over to Bryant Park and took a snapshot of all the hoopla going on there (and hoping to see Tim Gunn). Oh, I would love love love to go to the Project Runway show!!

On a side note, do these look like knockoff Manolos to you?

Someone threw out a bag of shoes and these were sitting on top. They’re pretty neat and they fit me, I just need to fix the heels.

I cut a corkboard in the shape of stacked books; think it turned out cute.

I love my Nine Wests and the natural light this place gets.

Jack and I pulled a locker off the street, out front the school up the street, and he’s painting it Apple Green.

I love these (*EDIT* Must have sold out or the page was taken down… Link no longer works, waaaa!) so much and just wanted to look at them some more… They’re just so perfect in their tackiness!

Just a post about a bunch of things, at once. Thursday we saw Hellboy 2 (Jack enjoyed it, but I thought it was okay) and I wore my fabulous new thrift shoes (which I got while on our Santa Cruz trip, for $5). The rest of the weekend was spent further painting, cleaning and general spritzing up of our new place (YAY for fresh flowers!). We made book cases out of the drawers and slats from my old IKEA bed (hmmm, they don’t seem to be selling it anymore). It’s so much fun putting this place together! It’s, finally, really starting to come together… housewarming party coming soon!

… Oh yea, and Jack! Because, amongst other things, he buys me super cute shoes (Blowfish’s Hobbit)! I’m looking forward to having many adventures in them!

And in other shoe news, I really really want these Atlanta Adidas. I just can’t bring myself to pay $85 for sneakers. And, like Jack said, I’d have to buy two pairs; one to wear and one to keep mint in the box. ;P

I’m really digging the gladiator sandal trend and yesterday I got my own pair. Thank you Delia*s for having reasonably priced shoes!
