Shoes!
[VIDEO DELETED] - Sorry, kids--I was getting weird and disturbing emails from sickos with foot fetishes... Thought I better just delete the video. Not worth it, ya know?
Okay, so what girl doesn't LOVE shoes?! Two of the pairs I show in the video can't be found online, but here are some links to the other ones (of course, they were MUCH less expensive at DSW Shoes than anywhere else I found online):
Steven Madden, Diane (sorry, couldn't find these online)
Madden Girl, Eddiie (but in red, not brown)
Bobbi Blu, Amberlie
Rocket Dog, Angel-Love (sorry, couldn't find these online)
And the fashion girl I listen to on the radio, Alicia Richmond, can be found at Chic on a Shoestring.

Hahaha -- I LOVE this video, probably because I *LOVE* shoes also... The last pair is me def fav.
And I agree, I'm ready for Spring! The snow hasn't been too bad in MO, but still, I miss short sleeves! Have a great weekend. I'm off to see 27 dresses :)
You are TOTALLY FUNNY! I, too, love shoes, but being 5'10" and dating someone of similar height, I seldom wear "tall shoes", but maybe I should consider.... those shoes were SO SUPER CUTE! And I can TOTALLY relate to the part of being stuck between a regular and a tall size in pants with my 33" inseam. I'm secretly wishing the world would carry a size 10.5 shoe, which is basically impossible to find. 11 is much to big and 10 must be generous to fit my big feet. So, needless to say, I feel your pain... thanks for the blog. LOVE IT!
As for the snow, we were hit with a forecast of 12-18" within a 2 day span this past week in the midwest, as well as 30+ mph winds. As reported on the news, the interstate had 800 cars STUCK in the snow near Madison, WI. Local snowmobile clubs were reportedly going from car-to-car checking to see that people had enough water, gasoline and blankets to stay warm in their cars. The next morning, the news reported that there were still 400 cars stuck. The interstate was basically SHUT DOWN. Sure was glad I wasn't there.... also made me ask myself "What if you had kids in the car? Or what would you do when you had to go to the bathroom?"
I, too, want spring to come.
Hi! Lol you made my DAY with that video!! heheh I am SO glad I can live vicariously thru your blog heheh and your videos.
Yes, I"m a SAHM of 2, 4yr and 2yrs. I was NEVER able to wear heels, before or after kiddos so it's NICE to see yours!
Can't wait to see what card you come up with from that GORGEOUS pair of shoes w/the wedge heel! Your wedgies are AWESOME!!
I think the red ones are my fave and then the wedgy pair!
Thanks so much for sharing. SOrry about your snow, they keep saying we'll get some and then it never comes. So send it this way! I want a good snow so my DD can make some snow angels. It's pitiful when she's trying to make them w/just a smattering of snow on the ground. Not to mention she might hit some dog poo and we wouldn't want that! Yuck! Yes, I DO need to get out more! heheh
Bobbie *Ü*
You are too cute ... I love the Wedge heel ones, Bobbi Blu, I have a pair of wedge heels, that are surprisingly comfortable, but it has a bit of a silly ribbon on them making the quick on/off thing not so good (30-somethin' mum of 3 youngn's) ... Looking forward to MACM & the future "shoe inspired cards".
Be well,
Amy.
OH. MY. GOSH. Girl, you are cracking me up!! I'm literally sitting here laughing out loud because I can SOOO relate!! Just bought some red shoes today! (AND visited the MAC counter! Heehee!!)
What a fun video -- Oh, and I love how 'sing-songy' you were!! Hahahahaha!!
You're so entertaining!
You are sooooo funny I love your videos.....you seem so friendly and happy....you cheer me up
I don't own any red shoes :( should that be fixed???
I have black shoes & boots and the most adventerous I've got is a pair of knee high brown boots!!! They are cute though ;)
Hi!
I´m sitting here in Sweden waiting for spring too!
I loved all your shoes and made me remember to buy me some new ones;)
You are so cute your self and I´m so lucky to have find you: Love your videos and I´m coming back very often!
Hugs from Bárbara in Stockholm Sweden:)
Love those black shoes with the little flowers!
When you said you might them as inspiration or a card i immediately thought of this tutorial and the su! black gingham ribbon:
http://onelittleword.typepad.com/olw/2008/02/gigis-tips-tech.html
I don't have the ribbon :( so you HAVE to make one using these so i can see how cute it would look hehe.
Anyway, love your blog, if google reader says you have a new post it's the one i read first every time, the rest just get alphabetical.
You are soooooo funny! You look totally on a shoe high!!!! reminds me of how I was a few days buying up Primas!!! heheheheh I love shoes to, at the moment I just luuurrrve my comfy Rocket Dog chocolate brown boots. They are so warm and cozy, perfect in a Welsh Winter! I'd love to know what you think of latest creation here... http://paperandpearls.blogspot.com/ TFL and TFS!!!!
Kristina, you totally crack me up, you are on a real shoe buzz at the moment, if it wasn't 22.31 over in the UK I would go out and buy some shoes lol xx
Girl, you make me LAUGH!! Thanks, you are too funny. I live in Montreal, we too have had enough snow!!!I've been wearing the same boots since November. IT'S TIME FOR NEW SHOES!!!!
Okay...You are just too cute!! I'm glad you had a great "shoe" day...that is the best!!
And it is snowing in WI as we speak {sigh}.
I don't want to rub it in but it was 78 degrees and sunny today and expected to be the same tomorrow. I think spring has arrived in Houston. I feel your pain with the in between pant lengths. The Buckle is the only place I can find jeans where you get to pick your waist and inseam, just like the boys do. It's really not fair. Regular pants fit perfect, BAREFOOT. Add shoes and a few washings and I'm stuck with high waters. I do love my alteration lady though.
Can't wait for Monday!
You crack me up :o) I had this stupid grin on my face the whole time I was watching this. Thanks! Oh and cute shoes too. Enjoy!
Ruth.
OMG. You are hiLARious. And I completely agree with *everything* you said about shoes: where your pants fall on the heel, the cuteness of the third pair, how the right shoes can *make* the outfit, how everyone NEEDS a pair of red shoes.
Fortunately for us in CA, we don't have to wait too long for spring to come! I'm completely in love with all the spring shoes I have seen in the mall recently. The colors are fabulous: orange, yellow, royal blue, green. It's like candy for your feet! So. Excited. I've been dying to buy a pair of yellow shoes for two whole seasons.
Shoe addicts, unite!
Oh, one other thing. I especially appreciated your twitter about surgery on your shoes. Sounds like something I would do! I think I would have busted out my crop-a-dile, tho.
How cute are you?? I just hopped over here today to check and see if anything was new, and noticed a new video, checked the calendar and realized it was not Monday,so wondered what you were doing!!!! I LOVE SHOES, but my hubby thinks I have too many pairs..............I only have like 30 pairs, that is just not enough!!! I just got new Reeboks today, sadly not very cute, but oh so comfy for work since I am a cake decorator!!! The cute shoes get on my feet after work!!!!
Thanks for the smiles,
Carie
your videos are THE BEST on the web!!!! and i love all your new shoes!
So not only are you a great card designer, you have EXCELLENT taste in shoes! Thanks for sharing!
Lurking in OR,
Stephanie
OMG you are so funny. I love shoes too. I bought the cutest pair last year. They are the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever had on my feet but I wear them anway because they are just so dang cute. -Molly B
OMG You are too Funny!!!!!
I look forward to all your videos because you're you!
Have you ever tried out for television or radio? One day you'll be discovered and you'll say "Hmmm..I remember someone telling me this!"...LOL ....so send me your autograph! LOL
Anyway, here's sending you some warmth all the way from Hawaii!
I have decided that you are nuts... and I think that's why I like you! lol.
don't you love Alicia, she is awesome. BTW I was watching Good things Utah the other day and thought of you. They had a lady on there who has a book in his 7th addition. It's called something like "don't go to the cosmetics counter without me". It's a guide on all pros and cons of each cosmetic product. It sounded awesome! I thought you would like it. One of her top picks for cheap good make-up was ELF. Anyway you should try to look it u.
Love the video, Kristina! I was just at DSW 2 weeks ago looking for a shoe with a wider heel like the first one you showed and I couldn't find anything...may have to go back. I don't care for all the flats that are in style or the skinny heal. Love the wider heel...
Have you heard of zappos.com? You probably have...tons and tons of shoes (and accessories), FREE SHIPPING, and FREE SHIPPING RETURNS.
OK, edit to my previous post. I didn't see that you had linked to zappos...duh! I'm a bit tired.
what a fun and pleasant surprise to see a shoe video from you!! I love your pleasant personality, and I could watch and listen to you describe just about everything! The shoes are lovely - I really like the red ones! You are just a FUN girl - TFS:)
I'm digging the shoes!!! Those are all so adorable!
And I'm sorry it's snowy - it's been 80 and sunny here for weeks. :(
At least your feet will be ready. That first black pair.. AAH - makes me want to run to DSW.

LOL.........You just made my day. I love your blog, and today was the bomb.
Being a shoe fanatic myself I totally adore all your new shoes, the colors, styles, and designs are breathtaking. (That quick fix is in my things to remember) for the next time I pass on a pair of shoes that don't quite fit. thanks for the tip.
I too will be waiting to see what you come up with as a card design based on those adorable shoes.
Gosh I could go on and on, but I'll leave room for your other visitors.
You have a great weekend
Tonniece
Oh my gosh this was so great to watch! I just all the shoes you bought & it's true if you are looking to jazz up an "old" outfit, just, buy a new pair of shoes! It makes you feel fabulous!!!
Hope you get to wear your Spring shoes soon!
I am so jealous, I am almost 6 feet tall and i cant wear those heels! I have to wear flats all the time. I love the last pair, its my fav. You are so adorable. I love that you do a video blog. you keep me inspired!
Hugs!
Melissa
you are toooooooooo cute! I just watched your talky blog and you remind me of Ross Matthews...really. you could be his twin. I love his blog!
Love the shoes, you're so cute in the video!
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL (deep breathe) LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL (composing myself). I swear if you lived in Canada, well actually where I lived, we be buds ~~ you are SO animated like me --Oh my, you are TOO STINKIN' funny !!!!! We too have been getting a TON of snow this year....but chin up missy, we only have about 6-ish weeks left til April....So spring is comin' baby !!!! YIPPEEEEE !
If you care to know, I LOVED the last 2 pairs of wedges the best so cute and versatile !!!
See you on MACM --- fingers crossed that the black wedges really have inspired a card :)
Have a great Sunday !!!
I don't remember your exact words about how you can be dressed down a bit and then great shoes just make the whole outfit. I feel the same way about hair. You can have just casual clothes on, but if your hair looks totally cute, YOU look totally cute! Thanks for spreading your excitement!
Drenched in Western Washington!
haha i always get picked on for being a shoe addict by my sisters who just dont get it! if they are cute i gotta have em even if they do kill my feet. but as bobbie said i kinda have troubles wearing heels after having my daughter. though with the trouser thing i have the opposite problem cause i am a short arse i have the too long trousers or too short trousers the either fit your waist perfect but are a ft too long or or you get the right length and the are too tight around your waist. and i have a tiny foot so i get lots of choices in shoes.
It sucks for me in australia cause MACM is actually make-a-card TUESDAY LOL with the day difference.

Love the shoes! I want the red pair. When you were talking about the jean length, I was sitting there saying HELLOOO! to my computer. Could we get a length in between because I have some cute flats I would like to wear, too!
LOVE the shoes, girl! SO cute! Perhaps my next goal in life will be to import DSW to Morocco! We are getting ready to go to Spain for vacation so I'll have to be on the look out for some cute shoes there. Fun, fun!
ROFL...Girl you are a real kick! Cute, cute, cute shoes! Spring is here one state south of you...mid 70's here today.
So when is your cruise????
Now that was a FUNNY video. You are so cute!
I will 2nd the snow part. Though now it's just melting and slippery.
Cute shoes, and I had to share.
A few months ago, my husband asked me what i had to put a new notch in his belt. I pulled out the cropodile. Fast and easy.
Last week, he came in again, "where's that tool?" He needed another notch. Money well spent.
I love your blog....and I LOVE SHOES!
Your shoe video made me laugh outloud!
OMG!!! That cracked me up! You are hysterical. I bet you are even more fun in person!! I'm loving the shoes...and that shoe store ROCKS!!!!! I hope spring comes soon too!!! HUGS to you! Ash~
