Sneaker Pimp

Hi! Shoe Whore here, reporting to you on a rainy Sunday! I failed to inform you of another shoe purchase after my blog party last Sunday, so I'll do it today, seeing as how today's three loads of laundry seems unblogworthy.

I love Vans. Man, I need Vans! I wear my limited edition Julius Vans all the time. (And, because I'm crazy, I bought two pairs, so I still have one perfectly pristine unworn pair.)

I love being able to slip them on and off. Vans are a lazy person's dream. I am so lazy that I relish the time and energy saved by not having to tie any shoelaces. That's pretty lazy.

Knowing my love for these shoes, Mr. Monkey's brother and sister-in-law (parents of Little Monkey Niece) gave me a Vans gift card during the holidays. This is easily the best present I've ever received from them. It has taken nearly seven years, but they finally get me! Yay!

After John O'Groats, I went to a nearby Vans location (13220 Washington Boulevard, Culver City) and started adorning my feet with all sorts of fun.

I ended up with the classic checkerboard in red and KVDs with black polka dots.

I can't wait for the rain to subside, so I can don my new canvas friends.

    I think I could get on the bandwagon with the polka dot ones - they are even a little girly;)
