Vegas Shoes

The first time I went to Las Vegas was for an all girls trip to celebrate my 24th birthday. I decided to commemorate the occasion by treating myself to a pair of HOT Isaac Mizrahi stilettos. And we’re not talking Mizrahi at Target either, not that I don’t have several pairs of those as well. At the time, it was the most expensive pair of shoes I’d ever owned. I don’t know what it is, but something about Vegas whispers to me…must. buy. new. shoes. And yes people, I’m not a Vegas rookie. I know how long I’ll be on my feet, and the importance of comfortable shoes. Zip it. I don’t want to hear it.
So I set off yesterday to find the totally perfect pair of shoes for my trip this weekend. I’m leaving for Las Vegas this evening with 7 of my closest friends to celebrate my demise as a single gal. And packed in my luggage is a pair of HOT-pink-patent-leather-peep-toe-pumps from BCBG. I had absolutely no problem rationalizing buying pink pumps, despite that fact that Ripken has demolished so many pairs of my shoes that this shoe-horse is reduced to wearing one of 2 pairs of work appropriate foot attire, and one pair of flip flops every day. The fact that 2, count them TWO, people stopped their own shopping to come over and say ‘You must buy those shoes’ simply sealed the deal. After all, its Vegas baby, and these shoes are made for gambling. See you on Monday!

addition: Looking at these shoes I just realized I'm 99.99% sure my Barbie had a pair of shoes exactly like this. BONUS!

I could never wear these, but if I saw you strolling down the street, I would think "Now there's a great pair of shoes, who cares how they feel!!!" Have a great SAFE time, hugs and kisses!

I'm not sure what a pair of pink shoes have to do with the price of eggs in China. Something tells me I don't have to know. Have a save trip kiddo.

I think you are correct; Barbie did have shoes like that!

I'm excited to hear if the feet survived in those puppies...or perhaps with some help from a little lubrication you were feeling no pain anyway?

Remember, what happens in Vegas does NOT stay there! STORIES!
