It's All About The Boots....

So I got my Valentine's Day gift from Kyle last night.  That poor boy, he really tried hard this time.  I'm hard to please.  I had said at one point that my favorite hooker boots are about ready to be retired.  I mean, I bought them at Payless like 3 years ago and are one of the most frequently worn items in my shoe closet.  They're comfortable as hell and I love them.  The problem?  I can't find a pair like them anywhere.  They are knee high, with a nice round toe and a chunky two inch heel.  Ever since I had to have my ligaments in my ankle sewn back together, I stay away from stilettos.  Plus, one of the reasons I had to have the ankle sewn back together had to do with me being clumsy, so chunky heals it is.

Kyle was looking for a pair that fitted my wants, trying to be all sneaky about it.  I already had looked everywhere, both online and in the stores with no luck.  He found a pair that are close though.  I got these super cute Steve Maddens from the UPS man last night.
 

I'll give him this... At least the toe isn't super pointy and the heel isn't super skinny.  I look hot in them.  I wore them around the house last night to get used to the heel.  Needless to say, I won't be wearing them out in the 18" of snow we have right now.  I like them though.

Since he won't be here for Valentine's Day, he just had them shipped in early.  That's cool with me, I'm not big on the holiday anyway.  He also made reservations for us to go to Top Of The World restaurant at the Stratosphere when we're in Vegas.  How cute.  Now I just have to find something nice to wear.  I don't have very many dress clothes just for the simple fact that, on any given day, I could be crawling around on the floor hooking up computers and stuff at work.  I don't go anywhere else that requires anything nice, so I'm going out and buying a nice dress tonight.  We'll see how that goes.....  I know I don't have to dress super nice to eat there, but I wanna look nice since I'll be sporting ridiculously expensive (by my standards) boots.  Maybe tomorrow I'll have some pics of clothes and shoes for anyone actually interested.

Anyway, that's all I've got for now.  Happy Hump Day peeps!

Yes! I love Steve Madden! What good taste he has, and in boots, too. I have you on the guest list for the 20th. Can't wait to meet you!

Those boots look perfect!
The Stratosphere has security to get through much like the airport, what an incredible view from that restaurant.

Thanks girls. I have them on today and they make me like 6 feet tall, which I think is cool. K may not feel the same way though since he's only a little taller than me without heels on. Secretia, in all the times I've been to Vegas, I have never been up there, I'm so excited!! Linda, can't wait to finally meet my Vegas mom in person :)

The boots are super cute. I'm with you on sticking with the chunky heals.

The roller coasters on top of the Stratosphere are pretty cool, too!

Tara said...

Christy, yeah, I've been entertaining the possibility of the rollercoaster. I don't know though..... We'll see. If K insists on doing it, I probably will.

LOVE the boots... I won't complain, I got a pair of Timbs for a late Christmas present since I was wearing my old ass skater sneakers in the snow. But those boots??? Can't wait to see the dress you got to wear with them!!!
