Happy Halloween...

From While Wearing Heels.

Design Your Own High Heels

I realize, this post is a little ironic and perhaps even perpetuates the notion that I actually wear high heels all the time.

Though, I do love to wear my heels, these days, Grace wears them more than I do, which is why I love Birdie's Big-Girl Shoes by SuJean Rim.

This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of, Birdie, a little girl desperate to wear her mom's high heels.  A plea I hear often from my own little Birdie.

Since this book is one of our favorites, we spent a day designing our own high heels.

 I cut each shoe out of card stock.  Then, passed it along to the shoe designer.

Who applied glitter.

Or scribbles.

Or embellishments such as flowers and rhinestones.

Some of my favorites,

were water colored.

Grace has decided, she wants to grow up to be a shoe designer.

I just hope, if she does become a shoe designer,

she'll remember, I used to let her wear my shoes...

and hopefully she'll return the favor.

I Do...Still

This past weekend, my husband and I celebrated 6 years of marriage.

Since this is 'While Wearing Heels', I thought you'd like to see what was under my dress {my heels of course}.

The best part, I bought those shoes in the Von Maur sale room for $14.

And as it has for 5 out of the 6 years we have been married, it rained...

So, when my husband gave me this card, for our anniversary, I couldn't help but smile.

just like the day we got married, the rain didn't make our celebration any less special.

I feel grateful that even after 6 years, my husband still makes the time to romance me. And that's why, I am still head over heels in love :)
