(Yes, I’m a bit of a ghoul with my graveyard cardio.) With Halloween lurking around the corner, here’s a rare shot of moi in running gear, with perhaps one of my best summer finds ever. ... http://acquisitivefeet.blogsome.com/2007/10/08/out-of-the-closet-saucony-trainers/ It’s an unusually warm autumn this year, but I can’t help trotting out my fall accessories while waiting for the first chill. These are purchases made via happy mouse click, in an attempt to make my quirky writer’s wardrobe more "corporate." I still string verbs for my daily bread, so ... http://acquisitivefeet.blogsome.com/2007/10/08/out-of-the-closet-t-strap-strappy-bag/   I know I haven’t posted in a while. Apologies. The well-heeled must work hard. And that’s the end of my sole-spotted pun. Kicking off the fall season with a Kenzie T-Strap Wedge.

I’ve never been one to ooh and ahh over bridal gear, not really into the whole living-meringue-cake going down the aisel experience. Eventually, hubby got online and chose a pretty silk wrap dress from Banana Rep - just my style. The ... http://acquisitivefeet.blogsome.com/2007/07/27/like-an-old-shoe-my-grey-wedding-pair/ Sometimes, during these summer days, you just have to let go.

I exclaimed, after my husband finished shooting this beloved pair this weekend. I bought these Nordstrom purple ballet flats during a Thanksgiving trip to San Francisco. You can tell, from the scuffed toes and the worn soles, that was a few years ago. This ... http://acquisitivefeet.blogsome.com/2007/07/23/like-an-old-shoe-my-san-francisco-ballet-flats/ I’ve been shoe shopping with Mei of Domesticity for more times than I can remember. All those moments trying on shoes at Ala Moana are such happy-candy memories, as well as those times dressing up to paint the town multiple colors. I urge you to check out her Hawaii-based domestic ... http://acquisitivefeet.blogsome.com/2007/07/19/fashion-inspirations-maison-du-mei/ As the days got warmer, the color red seemed the right color to celebrate the sunlit seasons.
