Crazy? No...

This is what I do when I'm sick in bed...

That would be my face on Christina's body (though I'm more interested in her closet) with pink hair and baby Ben's face over her baby's.

Hehe.

Before I Go...

So I'm off to China to work on my shoes for the next 8 days (boooooo!) but I wanted to share something real quick!

I've posted about my shoe storage before since many of you ask me what my closet situation is. Well, it wasn't pretty.

Piles of shoe boxes...

Piles of shoe storage boxes...

Hot mess status.

UNTIL! Ben and I had a crazy idea...

What if we made our home office into a sort of shoe room. (well my half of the office anyway)

Well, we did it. And I freaking love it.

TAH DAH!! Yay!

And with this post, I must go. My flight to China is taking off. I can't blog from China but I'll try to get Ben to post some stuff for me. :)

Ahhhh Shoe Closets...

Yesterday afternoon I stopped by the Louboutin boutique to see how my friends were holding up after the massive chaos that was the beginning of their week. We got to chatting and I was telling them about my condo that just went up for rent again, and the massive 300 square foot shoe closet that used to be mine. The boys that just moved out of it were using it as a storage closet (gasp!!) but I'm hoping to rent it out to someone who will actually appreciate it this time.

Anyway, I digress. The point is that I get lots of emails asking about where I store all my shoes. The sad truth is that... well... this is how I store them. Kind of a hot mess. It's our "guest room" with an unfinished closet. 

Which pales in comparison to my old shoe closet.

God I miss that closet!

But that closet then pales in comparison to some of these celebrity closets! I mean... it's just not fair! Mariah's is ridiculous and Paula's kinda looks like a hot mess, but I'm still jealz.

The rest of that story is good too. It's all about celebrity shoeaholics. (which I am... minus the celebrity part of course) 

Anyway, so now you all know the inside scoop. Maybe someday the whole guest room will become a shoe closet. ;)

New Shoes

It really is time for me to get new shoes. I have been very good the last 2-3 years and have been trying not to buy any and just wear out the ones I have. All 69 pairs. I have worn out quite a few. Still quite a few are left. Now all the basic colors like black and brown need to be replaced. I have literally been throwing worn out shoes in the trash. I now need to do a new inventory and see how many I have now. My intervention has been working!

My New Closet

I have just moved and am so excited about my closet. It is a large walk-in closet with lots of shelves and lots of space. My shoes are so happy. I still do not have enough space for all of them to sit comfotably, but it works. See! Look at the new happy place for my shoes!

I thinkit is now time for a new inventory once I get all settled in. I got rid of many shoes that I had simply worn to death. Some have been replaced but not all.
