Wangsta Shoe, Purchased in Phoenix

March 20, 2010 by WendyB

My old K. Jacques wedges were so stretched out that they were falling off my feet, so I got these to replace them.

I discovered that my summer shoes were in a bad way when I sneaked off to Phoenix for a few days this week. While I was there, I saw gorgeous blogger Practical Perfect in Every Way and her cousin Kate …

MrB, WendyB, PPIEW, Kate. I'm wearing Alexander McQueen.

Which desert critters left these?

When I was little, I worried that the moon was following me.

and The Runaways.

Brief review: Average biopic with stellar music and fashion.

While we were there, MrB reminded me I hadn’t pinched any flowers in a long time, so I molested a tiny one.

Flowers everywhere should fear me.

I predict this song is going to be stuck in my head for a while now.

    Wow, I love them!! I’m such a sucker for a good wedge. Not to be confused with ‘wedgie’… They’re just hideous!

    Lucky you sneaking away to the warm!

    I am jealous of your shoe purchase!

    I love the critter footprints. Jackrabbit and other. 🙂

    I want to see The Runaways but, it isn’t in town! I have a feeling it will skip my town. 🙁

    Your photos make me miss the Southwest! I’ve never been to Phoenix, but I hear it’s lovely.

  29. Lynette says

    The photo took a few seconds to load, just enough time for me to become fearful that you’d bought shoes with no heels. Thank goodness you didn’t do that. I mean, I do know what wedge means, but the photo loaded so slowly that I couldn’t help myself! Y’all look great in front of that colorful wall, all four of you.

    Love the photos and the replacement K. Jacques!

    What great photos of Phoenix! I love the one of the footprints. The desert really agrees with you!

    How interesting. I spent two hours on Saturday searching for wedges! I didn’t get any, though, and I wish I had some like yours!

  35. Maddy says

    Gorgeous shoes, though I can nver wear them that high! BTW- did you like “The Runaway”?

    xx Love & Aloha
