I am a shoe girl and I saw these cuties and just had to have them!

How cute would they be at Christmas?! : )


I wanted something cute and fun to dress up an outfit I was wearing. and I thought these were perfect!!






Normally, I'm a bit of a plain jane but I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone a bit these days and liven my wardrobe up!




Hmmm....I think I just might need to get them in the gray too!




cute, cute, cute!


Happy Friday! : )
