my exact shoe size is 7.5 but in a lot of cases i have to size up to 8 because i have a high arch (boots w/o zippers. impossible to slip my foot in) in this case i didn't need to size up. but they only had an 8 and i wanted them!

the most comfortable yet fashionable sandals! it's like walking on jelly. after buying these babies at marshalls i did a bit more research on them, and they have lots more comfy/cute shoes but very pricey. see diagram below!

when: july 1st 2012 | where: 4th street "retro row" long beach, ca

so sad i lost my last purchased sunnies before i ever got to really share them. they were super cute with floral print (have one photo with them here) but finally purchased another pair yesterday! i can never buy expensive sunnies as i loose them or break them ever so often! and i apologize i didn't pay attention to the name of the store where i purchased them at! however there aren't too many stores on 4th street and i can tell you it was not at immoni, replay, or that new boutique shop! it was in a vintage shop. sunnies were on the front counter.
