lest you think i'm no longer capable of shallow consumerism

I probably won't be able to resist these

there's a kind of pop-up store in town. it's run by a couple of local bored housewives of wealthy husbands. they buy up a bunch of remainders and various things that apparently "fell off" a container somewhere and then open up for a week or so and sell it all out. i've actually not visited it previously, but i stopped by on a whim the other day. and amidst various nescafe coffee machines and lamps and some suspicious-looking computer equipment, they had these shoes by paris hilton. i would have bought them if i'd been able to squeeze my big fat cinderella's ugly stepsister foot into them, but alas they didn't have my size.

got these instead


instead i got these. they're not paris hilton. i see that as a good thing. and better yet, they fit and make me seem very tall.

and these.

and i also got these. and for both? a mere 200 kroner (that's $36 for the currency-challenged). they look black in this shot, but they're dark blue. and surprisingly comfortable too.

23/9.2013 - who knew #havianas made wellies?

i also got these, but i ordered them online, i didn't get them in the pop-up shop. i didn't know havianas made wellies, i thought they only did flipflops. aren't these the best color? they called it aubergine, but i think it's a bit more of a plum.

happy colors, happy feet, happy weekend!


nothing says spring quite like a new pair of shoes. 
lots of goodness planned this weekend.
an art exhibition.
a couple of lectures.
some time in the sunshine.
maybe even a run or two (just not in these shoes).

and at our house, we're counting down to One Direction in berlin.

happy weekend, one and all!

friday confessions happiness


(happiness) my new chucks
in the engine room of a brand new PSV
(confession) one of three new pairs of shoes i bought this week.
happy husband doesn't read my blog.


(happiness) a brand new engine room
(confession) it made me miss all the great engineers
from my old job. they were so cool.


(happiness) the view from up here.
(confession) i'm not that fond of heights.


(happiness) noticing a heart shape in this bit of a ship
(confession) i let everyone think i was just taking pictures of the ropes.


(happiness) mirror self-portraits
(happiness 2) my hair's getting long
(confession) this isn't that great a picture but it's the best one i got.
i was in a hurry.

(happiness)--on monday SFgirlbybay used my most famous flickr moo pic in her post on inspiration boards. thanks SF girl! :-) (confession) hers is one of those blogs that i feel unworthy of, so it's especially validating fun. i knew someone had to have used it somewhere because hits on that pic suddenly went up dramatically. i've been woefully neglecting flickr of late. i guess because i'm all about twitter at the moment. oh yeah, and i've been working like a madwoman of late. (confession 2) i don't have that pic on this 'puter, so you gotta go look at it on flickr.

(happiness and confession) i'm happy to be headed home today.
