sole-icious

a you-had-to-be-there moment:"i have to learn how to walk..."

...said by my roommate after she almost fell flat on her face, en route to brunch at brooklyn label.
i mean, you just had to be there to laugh.

but i am a klutz as well!....it's ironic how wearing FLATS can still be hazardous to your health. and how wearing heels makes you more aware of where you're walking, if you're a flat-sole person like me. there have been a million times + 1 where i'm stomping (not so gracefully) around greenpoint in heels, because i'm aware that the next step could be my last. i just pretend to be a model on the runway...

it's a misty day out there....three hairs and some air [of sprinkling rain], as bob ross would say.

day 1...of said blogging

...bought some boots today, from zachary's smile (wheee)...i call them my "smutty rose" boots. flat heeled, the perfect rounded-angle toe, simple shaft, and well fitted with that solid and resonant "clocking" sound when heel meets pavement. oh, for the love of fall.

i'm in the dirty mood for fall....in the context of clothes and color schemes (ha, you were thinking otherwise weren't you...) like burberry's brilliant spring '09 show, all colors beautiful tinted with a slight wash of drizzle will transport you to the likes of london weather.

random thoughts: MUGS ALE HOUSE! SWEATA WEATHA! CIDER AND PUMPKINS!
