Peek a Boo

Last week I moved to a new house and I'm so happy to live in a place again with a view! This time I have a beautiful view of downtown Vancouver and the Lions Gate Bridge (I will post pictures of the view when I can). By moving to a new place I really feel like I can start fresh; And 2010 just got better because I got a new job which was confirmed on Sunday. On Saturday I was on set for a photo shoot for a local Vancouver magazine. I got contacted by the producer for Vancouver Fashion Week for the Spring show. And yesterday I got the internet hooked up and I feel relieved. Yes, I must mention this because I realized how much I have become dependent on the web for a large portion of my life. Anyway I've been on the computer for too long tonight because I was trying to catch up on my e-mails, facebook, and blogs/ newsletters that I follow/ sub-scripted to. Few minutes ago I quickly dropped by Jak & Jil and found a picture of these peep toe black booties by Gucci:

Aren't they beautiful? I wish I had long skinny legs to pull them off.

There are some fashion conscious girls around Vancouver who own these 7" black ankle boots but lot of them have bad legs so it doesn't look as good (*if you want to read more about fashion faux pas, click here). I have been wanting a pair of peep toe booties for so long now but I just know I don't have the legs for it :<

So what do you do in this case?
Part of me think 'Life is Too Short. Go Get'em'.
Other part of me think 'Why bother investing in something that doesn't work for you'.

Later on on Saturday evening I was rushing to Holt Renfrew to do the returns than I ran into these whimsical but bold black suede wedges by Dolce & Gabbana. It had a poodle brooch on the center part which was so cute. Usually when I think of 7" tall black wedges or ankle boots I think of edgy, Gothic inspired look. By having the poodles on their made it less Gothic-y but rather surreal should I say? I wanted them so bad so I decided to give it a go by trying them on.

My right foot couldn't fit into them even though they were 7.5s. Sadly, I picked them up the floor and put them back on the shelf for somebody else to hitch them up. Whoever that person will be, I am already envious of them.
