Shoes are my Labor of Love

Posted by kim on September 1, 2008

Happy Labor Day!  Even though I’m still sitting at my computer today and working per se, I love writing blogs and sharing my shopping finds that I can’t really consider this a “job“.

The above pic is of me was taken on Saturday wearing my new Wedge Gladiator Sandals from Wet Seal. I like them as they are both fashionable and comfortable. I got quite a few compliments and a few “those look like Jesus sandals” comments from obviously non-fashion friends.  And I had to wear red, as it was the Huskers first football game of the season! 

I won $25 in a football pool on the game, and now I’m asking you to help me win a Zappos gift certificate to help fund my shoe addiction, although if I win I’ll probably re-gift and give it away to one of you on this site!  All you have to do is visit Jim Kukral’s Zappos Mandal page and vote for #5 (that’s my feet in the Nike slides).

I’m also looking into redesign this site, and would like to include a Flickr feed of everyone’s shoes! So upload your shoe pics to Flickr.com and tag them shoeaholics for them to be featured! And I’m having some new tshirts made up, so stay tuned on how to score one soon!

What Not To Wear

Posted by kim on August 15, 2008

Jim Kukral receives his fair share of banter for wearing white socks with his Mandals. He even wrote a song about them. Now I’m not opposed to white socks with brown shoes, but I am absolutely appalled to see anyone wear black socks with brown shoes (black socks with shoes of any other color than black is bad news). So when I saw Jim at a conference in Boston earlier this week wearing black socks with his mandals, I seriously thought I was going to vomit. Ok, maybe the cheap vodka had an effect on me as well. But after seeing that, I’m adding an addendum to my perfect guy specifications.
