So I can bona fide-ly say, I am 100% in love with all my shoe friends who have been writing in. I am loving the shoe stories!! They make me so happy.

Our winner this week of a new pair of snazzy Eileen Shields creations is: Jennifer — who cracked me up with her ruined shoes story. It sounds like something exactly I would do!

I was wearing a sweet pair of Pollini stilettos while walking through a parking lot, when suddenly WHAM, I stubbed my toe hard and lurched forward.

The sad thing is, I got those $600 shoes on sale for $100 but the repair would probably be nearly as much!”
