early christmas present.

So my fabulous Chicago favorites and I decided to hit up some shopping and do some damage to our already fleeting bank accounts this afternoon.

Thank god for my Nordstrom employee discount. We got a pair of black Jimmy Choo's for Jen and a pair of gold Loubies for me for a freakin' steal. We didn't literally steal them, but we may as well have.

The best part is not even having to pay for them but receiving them as birthday/early Christmas presents. God love Aunt Diane. I swear a pair of gorgeous shoes can brighten up even the coldest of Chicago days.

[Ps. You may not believe me. But these Loubs are VERY comfortable. As in I'm going to wear them to work for an 8 hour shift. Who knew that was ever going to be possible?]

quote of the day.

"I would hate for someone to look at my shoe and say, 'Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!' That's not what I want to project. But I'm not a sadist. I don't believe suffering makes you beautiful. But comfort is not part of my creative process."

[Literally, they are killer. I can barely take a step in mine. He's still a genius.]
