On the side of WIN:



THEY CAME! MY VERY OWN VONDAS, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] buddleia who helped me import them from England! I never want to take them off again! A WORLD OF ♥♥♥♥!

As you can see, they are the shoe version of my favourite belt,

Rose-embossed leather belt with enamelled heart buckle by Express


which, considering the $55 USD I paid for it in 2001, is the most gratuitously/ridiculously expensive item of apparel I've ever bought (not the most expensive of course! Just the least amount of THING for the money, and belts are much less THING than shoes or bags or other accessories), but I've never regretted it because it's so pretty.



On the side of FAIL, though, I went to buy a replacement for Wax's teacup that I broke. They were out of green, so I bought purple, and then I broke the saucer before I even got it home. It was her own fault, though, for asking me to carry a teacup and a bag of kitty litter that far at the same time.

Yeah. Totally her fault. x_X

Those boots are fantastic! Now I want a pair, and I couldn't even use them on working days :/

Those are so cute I keep wondering if I could justify getting a pair instead of proper winter boots. (On the grounds that my other docs fit loosely enough I can get multiple winter socks inside when I need to!)

Except I'm worried getting wet would ruin the embroidery.

I certainly plan to wear them as winter boots! They're pretty warm already, even without the extra socks. Of course, my environment is urban, and I'm not forced to actually WADE through snow drifts all that often. But maybe I'll get some of that weatherproofing spray-on stuff.

I have that same teacup and saucer, and I also broke the saucer today. Or, rather, it cracked in the microwave. o.O

Also, man, those are AWESOME boots of awesome awesomeness.
