Karl has this theory that every girl on the planet loves Paul Simon’s Graceland album. So when I thought about the name for this post about shoes, I thought of him. I like Paul Simon. And yes, I am a girl. But I’m sure not every girl on the planet feels the same. (As a matter of fact, please leave a comment if you are a girl and you hate this album, so I can prove him wrong) Thanks!

Anyway, let’s get on to what this post is about. Shoes. I like shoes. It’s not a secret. This is something I definitely inherited from my mother. This might be embarrassing for the whole world to see, but I’m going to post it anyway. Sorry, Ma. Here’s a line-up of some of my mom’s shoes. More specifically, her Birkenstock collection. (I lined them up a few years ago and took a picture on my cell-phone-so please excuse the poor quality..but you’ll get the point.) Now before you see this, I don’t want you to think poorly about my mom; she’s had most of these for many, many years. She rarely goes shopping for herself, but she has a weakness for shoes. Brace yourself…Crazy, right? I guess to be fair, we do wear the same size shoe, so some of these may be mine. Here’s a little peak at my closet. Most of the shoes that are on my wishlist are very much out of my price range right now. It’s either paying for Columbia or having nice shoes? Hmmmm, the former is winning. So here are some of my favorite designers/shoes at the moment…  SwedishHasbeens.John Fluevog

If you browse the websites you will see, I have expensive taste. For now, I will have to be satisfied with admiring them from afar. Well, I think I’ve spent enough time talking about shoes for one post. If you would like to contribute to my shoe fund, donations are gladly accepted. =)

**Updated: While I was writing this post, I just had to blast Graceland. Just for you, Karl.
