Favourite Things

Show me a woman who doesn't like shoes and I'll show you ... well ... a man, I guess. But not a gay man, of course. *wink* I promised my friend Sandy some time ago that I would share my "collection" with her.














At one point in my life, I had three pairs of red boots. My first pair went into the garbage because I wore them so much they fell apart and could not be repaired. I bought these boots at an outlet centre in Waterloo for less than $30. They are made by Nine West. I loved the colour of these boots. A girlfriend was "bootsitting" this pair while I was away but I recently got them back from her.














I bought these boots shortly after I moved to Toronto in 1992. Does anyone remember that fabulous boot store on Yonge Street at Gloucester? I think I paid $475 for these boots, which back then was a small fortune but I had to have them. They are Sanchos and made in Spain. They look even better now than the day I bought them. These boots are a true reflection of my personality.














These are the boots I bought in Acapulco almost 8 years ago. I think I paid less than $500 pesos for them. I wore out the soles and just got them totally reconditioned for $40. I love these boots. They remind me of my 40th birthday. My ex-boyfriend has an identical pair only in a MUCH larger size. My friend Jo-Anne never got to wear her identical pair, thanks to Air Canada losing her luggage! :(














I can't remember where I bought these boots but it might have been downtown Toronto at Winners or someplace like that. They were less than $50. They're lightweight since they're made out of nylon. They're very, VERY sexy boots and I remember buying them to impress an old boyfriend. Dumped the guy but never held that against the boots. Story of my life ... haha!


These boots are my latest acquisition and I got them by fluke. My friend Marianna was in Toronto operating a booth at The Clothing Show where I was busy shopping for a friend's birthday gift. She actually bought these boots in Amsterdam a few years ago and they were always a little bit too tight for her. Fortunately, they fit me like a glove! Made in Italy, these Guess boots are made with the softest leather you can possibly imagine. The snow will NEVER touch these boots. Thanks Marianna!
