Wedding gift

Every year on Christians and my wedding day, we give a gift representing the name of the wedding year. 6 years is "Sugar's wedding". You have to be creative in your interpretation of the year, and these shoes have "sugar lips" or a sugar kiss, so that was my gift. Maybe you guessed that the way to my heart is through shoes.

Slippers

This is my latest purchase. Sometimes you see something that turns everything on in you, and these did do that to me. In many ways, they have everything the perfect slippers are to me. I know this is not the classic slipper, but it has now become a classic for me. It is excellent to wear; I can walk all day in it and feel feminine in it, and it is simply SO beautiful.

Kissing mouth

Several years back, I got depression, and over a long period, I lost myself and had a hard time finding who I was. Anyone who has tried it, or has been close to someone who has been through depression, knows what I'm talking about. But when I started to come to the surface again, these shoes were the first pair I fell in love with. Shoes, clothes and my massive interest in style and design started to mean something to me again after a long period where nothing really came close to my heart, and this is where I bought these shoes. So for me, these shoes mean a rediscovery of myself, and that one always comes up to the surface again. Every time I put them on, I think about how far I have come, and then I get so proud of myself.

New York

This is another souvenir - they were bought on vacation to New York. Sarah Jessica Parker (aka Carrie Bradshaw) has started her shoe brand, and who is more obvious to buy a pair of shoes from than her now that the trip is to NYC. I am very fond of many of her shoes; they are fantastic to walk in. I ended up buying two pairs, and both stand close to my heart for so many reasons but most of all, they represent good memories.

Silver shoes

These shoes are my favourite shoes right now. They are great to walk in; I can keep them on my feet for an entire evening, and then they are beautiful for me and others to look at. I like having unique things in my wardrobe, and this year I have been on a journey of only having things that make me genuinely happy. So I will go into the next many years with beautiful shoes on my feet that I will be happy to look at. I am sure there are many good experiences hidden in them.
