Yep, Kim is Happy.

Cartoon Boots My boyfriend sent me an email this morning with the subject line “This should make you happy!” with a link to this news article. Yippee! A DSW shoe store is coming to Westroads Mall in Omaha! I stop at Westroads every time I visit Omaha and visit Cinnabon and Old Navy. And come September, I can add DSW to the list! Hmmm, maybe I should apply for a job at the new Google datacenter in Council Bluffs to be closer to some better shopping?!

Speaking of jobs, my sister just got a job at Tradehome Shoes (they need a new website). No, she doesn’t get family discounts, but may earn a small commission on her sales. Sure sounds better than the job I had at the local dairy sweet when I was a teenager.

Congrats on the DSW opening. Here in LA, we’ve had 2 new openings at well. I’m in shoe heaven! LOL.

Hi Kim,

Is this for real or do they hire you guys to do these write ups? I’m a designer in los angelesl and I remember how that used to be when I lived in Minnesota. Of course, that was before the Mall of America. Anyway, why don’t you shop online? You get a better selection, and places like zappos.com actually give free overnight shipping. You also have 365 to return something if not worn. Yes, I know…amazing. Although, I have a huge box to return right now. haha. gotta go.

No, I didn’t get paid for writing about those shoe stores, but I wish I did!

Trust me, I buy lots of shoes online (gotta love the free shipping and returns if they don’t fit), but I also love to shop offline and actually try on different styles (usually ones I would never buy). Plus I love the instant gratification of bringing home new shoes.

In fact, between my three girls and me, we brought home 7 pairs of new shoes today from shopping.
