Walking on clouds

On the 4th day of Christmas

my babies gave to me

4 antibiotic-induced, diarrhea, blow-out diapers,

3 public meltdowns,

2 hours of sleep, and

a healthy dose of whooping cough

I was insanely lucky to find two pairs of Tory Burch Eddie flats last week here for LESS than the price of one pair!!!! I know, I know, sit down, take a breath, and zen-out for a minute! Insane right?

I had been contemplating buying them but at $180 a pop it always seemed steep for a pair of flats! BUT Mr. Hotpants is always saying how I should be wearing supportive shoes and not heels and flip-flops all the time . . . so guess what honey?  I listened to you and got myself two pairs!  Thank you so much for your loving advice and your shopping approval; you were absolutely right . . . they are like pillows for my feet!  These are the two I got . . . 

I love that Tory puts these special "Care" instructions on her website for her shoes.  This will probably let me get more miles out of these babies . . . 

• We recommend spraying leather shoes with a treatment like Meltonian before wearing.
• Remove salt stains during the winter by dabbing a solution of equal parts white vinegar & water. Wipe clean with a water-soaked rag and air dry away from any heat source.
• Remove scuff marks by dipping a clean cloth into water and then baking soda. Gently rub the spot. Dab clean with a water-soaked rag and buff dry.
