L-A: We never have enough shoe porn to make every Monday a shoe porn Monday. I guess that makes the Mondays we do have a little bit special. Anyway, it seems that after a submission to shoe porn, the submitee does not stop buying shoes. Lord knows I haven’t. (I really should update with my more recent acquisitions). So we were happy to get the updates to Sarah’s collection.
Sarah: So it has been a little over a year since the first time my shoes were featured on Shoe Porn Monday. And there has been some changes to my shoe closet. More were donated (if you were at the Dress for Success fundraiser at Palookas awhile back, you may be wearing some of my shoes now!) and the rest found a new home with my “Mr. Big.” He gave me a whole tinyHalifaxapartmentsized closet to myself. As lovely as it is, when we were just dating, I am sure that my shoe habit was mildly amusing. Maybe even part of my quirkiness in his eyes. But since the move-in that smile has faded and been replaced with swear words in the middle of the night as he trips over, what he now can track, another pair of new shoes.
Maybe this new domestication (or lack of personal storage space) did make me slow down my shoe buying over the past year. (Maybe also because someone wants me to, whats the word, where you don’t spend because there is some money left over after the bills are paid….right, S-A-V-E, for a house).
I feel the other thing that changed is I became a little more practical in my shoe buying. True story, some of my new shoes are flats…not that I took pictures of them to post, or wear them often….I digress, to the shoes!

-
- Burlington Coat Factory (yes, they are more than coats) NY These are my go to, jeans and a movie, shoes. Practical heel, neutral colour with just a little ruffle
-
- Town Shoes Once again, Nine West continues to be some of my most comfortable shoes. These are kinda purple-brown, great for meetings, etc. but made out of felt, so they attract dust. I need a lint brush just for these shoes.
-
- Le Chateau So, maybe not all my shoe purchases this year were practical. Bought for my birthday. Pro: My Boyfriend is a foot taller than me. Con: My birthday is at the end of December. These are not practical for Nova Scotia winters.
-
- Transit Some gold, some silver, white for the summer, bought for an outfit for the Sex and the City 2 premiere (everyone has special theme outfits right? RIGHT?)
-
- Burlington Coat Factory, NY I bought these because I didn’t own yellow shoes, they looked like wood flooring AND they have the hidden platform, my original love (sorry Honey!)
-
- Coach, Hawaii Well…they are flats……
-
- Marshalls, Tampa Bay Do I NEED gold, glitter slingbacks? (Just writing that sentence is the most thought I put into this purchase) Yes. One day I will find the right outfit for this (I’ve had them for five months without wearing them so far) any suggestions?
-
- Ross, Hawaii So we brought back great Hawaiian souveniers for everyone. Macadamien nuts, poi, pearl earrings, etc. and me? Shoes! These were actually picked out by the boyfriend (on what he described as his first and last shoe shopping trip). I just don’t do well with slingbacks, any suggestions? They strap keeps falling down to my heel.
-
- Dress for Success fundraiser, Palooka’s Gym Flats! Sensible! And the money spent on them went to a good cause. Wins all around
-
- DSW, Tampa Bay I strongly believe every girl needs a pair of nude pumps. And if you don’t believe it, did you not pay attention to how useful they were to Duchess Catherine during her week in Canada? She wore them several times! And me the same with these. I love them. If the time ever comes, I may get married in them. Then give birth in them. And if I am ever lucky enough, retire in them.
While that is all the shoes that I had time to take pictures of, can I suggest a not-safe-for-work, nor an actual video, for the post?
Coco and Ice-T are the latest humans to be turned into reality TV stars thanks to the E! channel. And when you have your own TV show, access to a lot of money and time on your hands what are you to do? buy glitter ponies AND record a ridiculous song:
LA: A few thoughts for Sarah: gold glitter shoes? (yes, I understand the need for glitter shoes in your life) So far, I’ve determined that the glitter shoe works well with jeans and a solid coloured top or with a black dress. I thought Dr. Scholl’s might have the answer to your sling back dilemma, but apparently not. I’ll leave that up to the readers. Someone must know how to deal with a pesky sling back.
And now, the bonus pair from Monique! These sandals from a Nine West outlet bring serious joy to her life. I can understand that. I’m pretty sure Ally is looking at them on her iPhone right now and dying a little bit because those sandals aren’t in her life right now.
Ally: I am breaking into Monique’s home and stealing those. You heard it here first…oh…wait.
