SHOES SHOES SHOES shoes shoes shoes

a little underwhelmed at my shoe options for spring this year
it seems everyone and their grandmother is wearing toms(seriously..the "toms" section at nordstrom was flooded with girls aged 11 to 80 purchasing and wearing their toms out of the store) LONG LIVE COMFY FEET!
and still ever as popular are the original vans, whether slip ons or another original form, in every color of the rainbow
comfortable is awesome, but i am a little sad to see that birkenstocks have made their way into everyday casual, just not into the look
dr. scholls o.g.'s are back but they are not wood and are squishy foam and only come in whole sizes(not for me)
also, the eastland/sperry boat shoe craze has yet to sail by...not a bad summer option for those hazy after day sun nights

and....
then.......
platforms!!!!
are everywhere,,,every shape, size, height, color, etc...i already own so many of these after constantly, for years, trying to add them to my collection
some of these high steppers are a bit "young" for me
and i am NOT into espadrilles!! i have owned them in the past but just find them to look inappropriate with most outfits..for the beach...by all means...run with it

im still wearing my boots
not ready to give in to a softer shoe
the saddle shoe by bass has made a most ridiculous comeback and i have owned a pair of maroon and brown ones for some time now(the black and white seems to be the overall trend in the wingtip lace-up world, made in some form by most shoemakers)

i guess im still waiting for those shoes to jump out at me, that i MUST have, like when i would see a beautiful pair of cork and vibrant color platform wedge fornarinas, complete with cute gold hearts or pink heart lining
i still love my peeptoe wedge platform booties by bcbg
and i still long to wear my high heel peeptoe frye booties

i havent even made a sneaker purchase yet to have cute kicks
funny i always run to suede(im such a fall baby!)
but i really need to purge the oldies i do not wear anymore, and simply replace them with new feet happy makers
the forever search begins

oh....and for next time...i need a bag for spring that i can use all summer and transition into fall....will it be straw? canvas?....i gotta give this leather botkier a rest ...LOL
i did see a super cute marc by marc jacobs straw crossover bag with neon trim...that could be fun, and would match quite a bit
wait.....am i admitting that i am not going to wear black all the time?????!!!!!
something in the air.......
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh-chooooo
