kismet

in my crazy rush to get all the chanukah / xmas shopping done i did have one of those ah-ha moments at the mall....as i walked (quickly) by gucci, i noticed their sale sign and made a quick detour into the store...and there they were.

before i tell you this little tale, i must confess that i am a shoe girl. handbags do nothing for me but a great shoe? wow. it's kind of orgasmic :).

so these boots i'd seen advertised in september in the ny times and at that time they were way out of my price range. i knew i'd have to one day own them but september got eaten up by cancer so i forgot to do my usual obsessing over the boot.....so when i walked into the store i made a bee line back to shoes....and there it was....waiting for ME.

when i asked to try them on, they apparently only had ONE boot there - but it was in my size. Danielle, the sales girl said she knew how to get the other one there and i said, giddyup. "please call me when they are in!".

I ran to the mall w/ syd on a mad xmas shopping trip before dinner with the girls....I had already justified it in my head as it had been marked down to just a little above my price point....it was now 60% off original price and that's as good as it's going to get..... AND THEY ONLY HAD 1 OF MY SIZE.

Kismet :)

When I joined our friends at amy's birthday dinner for Amy, all i could talk about were my boots. i kept saying (in a Carrie Bradshaw voice) "look at my boot" and i'd hold my leg up...."and they're GUCCI!"

I'm wearing them to chemo. bet tch never met gucci.

ciao bella!
