As Happy as Baby Jesus in Velvet Booties...

Or "as happy as baby Jesus in suede fringe booties!" The former (see title) is a quote from my mother who swears that the expression is an old French saying describing ones' state of delirious delight (we have yet to have met a French person who will confirm this). The latter is my take on these Zara fringe booties I drooled over just a post ago. The shear delight of stomping around in these boots make the slightly steep price worth every guilt-ridden inch of my credit card.



ps- It was great to meet so many of our gorgeous, beautiful and very stylish readers this evening at the Regator party (more to come in future posts)!

I'd be dancing with glee, too, if my legs were that hot! Zoinks!

Oh, I love them! French bloggers wear them so well and now you have a pair...I wonder how long before I succumb...

Sharon S said...

Stephanie said...

Great shoes!
I haven't worn anything with a heel in so long, I think I'd just tip over. :P

Very cute, and your legs look great in them. The height of the boot seems kind of awkward for myself. I usually don't wear anything that cuts the visual line of my legs across the calves like that. Maybe I would wear it with a knee length skirt, but I typically wear boots that are either close to knee height or cut off at the ankles.

Oh wow! I am pretty hesitant about fringe items, but those look great on you! I am completely won over.

They look even more awesome on! And my mom has all kinds of weird sayings that she SWEARS is Korean, yet I've never met any other Korean woman who uses such expressions. Haha.

Those are excellent -- so much movement! I just posted about my suede fringies, but they don't sway and move like this at all.

Also, I'm going to try and get that Jesus saying to catch on in English. Because it's awesome.

Diana said...

Don't you just love it when you blurt out an expression, as familiar to you as your own front door because it is something you grew up with, and everyone looks at you like you are a crazy person? Happens to me all the time.

Jill said...
