Monday Shoe Porn – The Hurricane Lynn Collection

L-A: You know how there’s that tired old cliché about life and lemons? (it’s tired, yet I can’t help using it).  Well, I probably think it’s tired because when life give me lemons, like knocking my power out for almost 24 hours during Hurricane Earl, I don’t do anything with those lemons. Hurricane Earl knocking my power out meant a day off to eat junk food (it was important that I saved the ice cream), play scrabble, BBQ, and use my workberry to read tweets about how the rest of the city was without power.  Lynn, on the other hand, saw the power outage as an opportunity to clean up her shoe collection and take photos for us.  We like her initiative.

The following collection are just the shoes that Lynn is looking forward to wearing now that fall is starting.  She made it clear that this is not her entire collection.  And since she is turning her love of Frenchy’s into a blog and a business, she’s probably always buying new-to-her shoes to add to the collection.
