Closet Space

Just saw this picture over on fashionista...


Closet space and organization has been on my mind lately as I discussed earlier this week. Between Paint and Soul's comment about using her shoes and bags as decor in her bedroom and seeing the way this person's shoes are organized, ideas are forming in my head. It'll be tricky to make it work with what little room I have. We shall see...

I don't usually feel like a very organized person so I was happy to see that at least my clothes are sorted in kind of a similar fashion, by color.

I just need more space to hang them is all...

Random Thoughts

I've got a couple of things on my mind lately, nothing really big that deserves its own post though. I'm going to get it all out here and now.

-----

I'm no blogging expert and I'm not a well known blogger by any means, but something has struck me kind of funny in my blog world recently. For now, I'm going to be vague about the details, There is a blog that I've subscribed to and read as often as they update. Recently one of their authors commented on one of my posts, stating that I was the first to bring this particular situation to her knowledge. The next day, she had written up a post about the same situation, reporting it to her readers without mentioning her source at all.
Do I have any right to be bothered?
I can't decide.

Recently I've discovered blogs of people that I thought were friends have become private. Naturally, I'm bothered because I loved keeping up with their lives. After all, I was under the impression that we were friends. Now, I'm sure the switch to private was for safety and security reasons, I get that. I just was kind of stunned that I wasn't someone they deemed safe enough to read about their lives.
Maybe I'm just far too unfamiliar with the whole private blogs thing.
Its possible.

I just wanted to share a few things about my blogroll. I use blogrolling.com to manage my blogrolls, I actually have two of them. They are display in this order on my blog: "People that link back to me" and "People that don't link back to me". I figure that the people that link to me deserve higher priority on the list than people that don't, right? Next, blogrolling has all sorts of settings to implement on my blogroll. The first list is set to display the top 15 of X amount of the most recently updated blogs. The second is set to display 7 different random blogs each time my page is loaded.
Anyway, my point is, if you want to be on my blogroll, let me know. If you want to be at the top of my blogroll, make sure you link back to me and get to updating!

I ordered two pairs of shoes from Nine West last friday. I hadn't been too impressed with them so far. First of all, they haven't updated my order page since the day I ordered them. Second, one of the pairs of shoes I ordered was on backorder. I despise stores that don't notify you at the time of purchase when items are on backorder. I don't think its very good business practice. Well as I'm typing this up, the cute UPS guy shows up with one of the pairs of shoes that I ordered. I was pleased a bit because I love surprises. However, I was never even given notification that my order was shipped, no contact whatsoever. I think Nine West needs to bring their customer service up to the same level as the quality of their product.
More on the new shoes later...

I accidentally deleted my clustrmap! (see bottom of my sidebar)
I had 2,800+ visitors since May 7th from places all over the world. Now I have nothing.
So sad.

Finally, I've seen many blogs across the blogosphere that have been doing Q & A sessions. They seem so fun to me so I'm going to jump on the bandwagon. Now is your chance to ask me anything you've had on your mind. I don't really mind if they are serious or goofy questions, just get asking.
Later on, I'll do a post listing all of the questions along with their answers.

Thats all for now folks!

Daily Outfit

I picked this dress up on the clearance rack at Urban Outfitters without even trying it on. The color just drew me to it like a moth to a flame. It also has the cutest criss-cross back. Why oh why did I forget to capture a picture of the back of it? I love the light, airy fabric with the tiny floral print on it.

I loving this belt too! Its a men's size 38 so I have to twist it around itself and I love the looks this creates.

I know I wear these shoes entirely too much, but they're pretty much my favorite one right now.

I happened to by carrying around my new bag as well, so I kept it with me for the pictures.

Things that made my day.

-Wearing my new shoes!

-Today I have the most subscribers to my blog that I've ever had.

-Chatting with Suzi.

New shoes!

I've been slow coming around to the gladiator sandal trend. At first I detested it, but then it slowly started to grow on me. Then I saw these shoes:
I'm not sure what it is about them, but I love them! For $23 I figured this was a perfect chance to try a trend that I've been on the fence about. It comes in black, white, tan and camel, but I really wanted to camel color. The only had one size left in that color, lucky for me it was half a size smaller than what I normally wear. After thinking for it about for like 15 minutes, I decided that I would take the chance and hope that they'd fit. Its a good thing I didn't wait too long because now they only have three colors left in very limited size selection.

They were a little difficult to actually get on, but once they were on, the fit great.



Now I just need to figure out what to wear them with.

What shoe are you?

Just took this quick quiz...



Let me know what your results are!

Bob's new shoes

You all remember Bob and his shoe problem, right?

Well over the weekend, he got some new shoes!


Then he took them back and exchanged them for these ones...

Look! No holes!
Congratulations Bob!

Things that made my day.

-Finding out that I didn't need 4 new tires, just the 2. Saves me some money!

-Getting my new shoes delivered to me by the cute UPS guy.

-Running into Suzi at the mall and consequently shopping with her.

-The progress the girls made at tumbling.

I'm thinking its time for some new shoes.

So this guy I work with, lets call him "Bob", has a little problem. He has some nice looking shoes that he loves to wear. He wears them nearly every day. They are totally great except for one small thing...


Yes, ladies and gentlemen, those are his socks poking through.
And clearly this isn't something that happened recently. To my knowledge, he's been walking around like this for weeks.

Who thinks its time for "Bob" to get some new shoes?
Lets hear it, all together now...

Its that time again.

The seasons are changing and so is my wardrobe. I've got loads of great spring/summer attire that I've slowly been incorporating into the outfit rotation.

There is one road block for me however.
Its that time.
The time when the men at the office take over the A/C.
It might as well be winter still for the temperatures that I'm enduring in the office. My fingers are freezing, my toes are little popsicles in my sandals, my legs and arms are covered in goosebumps.

What to do, what to do?
Sacrifice my comfort for fashion?

I suppose so...
After all, is that what most women do when it comes to things like shoes?

Things that made my day.

Mondays are blah, but these are things that made mine good!

What made your day?

Help me choose a white summer sandal.

Feel free to tell me why you chose the ones that you did.

I can't quit the pointed toes.

When pointed toe shoes first started coming into style a few years ago, I loved the look on other people. However, I could not bring myself to wear that particular style.

I remember a few times forcing myself to buy pointed toe boots or shoes only to have them sit in the box and eventually end up returned to the store, unworn. It was only when a friend gave me a too-big pair of pointy toe black pumps that I feel in love with the style. Now my closet floor is littered with pointed toe boots and pumps in an array of colors.

I can't quit them now.
With all the peep-toes, rounded-toes, etc. that are out there now, you'd think I'd be able to have a wide variety of shoe shapes. Still, it seems that every new pair of shoes that comes home with me have the once hated pointy toes.

Does anyone know a cure for this? ;)
