A lover of fabulous shoes for many a year (long before Sex & the City was a gleam in anyone’s eye), I’m always perusing fashion sites & mooning over “dream shoes” I’d want to own should I win the Lotto someday… (In 1985 I once spent my entire monthly Army pay check on a pair of high-heeled fur pumps- if that gives you an idea of where my head is at…) This is a woman, after all, whose husband wooed and won her heart with a present of a pair of black, patent leather, 6″ stiletto pumps…
Elisse and Shoe-loving Husband
I found and joined shuzsociety.com, and took one look at the fabulous pair of shoes they had up as that week’s prize- $595 Mary Norton peep-toe, high-heeled, fur pumps, embellished with Swarovski crystals!- and I just Had to enter! If ever there were a pair of shoes that “spoke” directly to me, and in a clear, loud voice, it was these! And then I thought no more of it until the next day… when I got a call from shuzsociety telling me I’d won them! She must think I’m nuts, because I nearly went out of my mind right there on the phone! I had just won my Dream Shoes!
Elisse in winning Mary Norton "fab friday" shoe!
Then I got a call from Mary Norton herself- and her website has THE best sales on THE most gorgeous, hand-made shoes and bags that the likes of JLo, et al, are wearing on the red carpet: Mary Norton – and within days I had them on my little feet- positively THE most gorgeous pair of shoes I think I’ve ever owned! They arrived in a chic, ribbon-bedecked, pink and brown Mary Norton box, with a lovely shoe bag & a personal note from Mary, and I truly treasure all of it!
I even blogged about them on our blog: SouthernWestVirginia.Blogspot.
But then a new problem arose: where to wear them?! I mean, like, you know, Seriously: even in a little black dress, the Kimball Wally World just ain’t “worthy”… And now I won’t be entering for awhile- gotta give someone else a chance to win their dream shoes!
