I really love my...

Lace up boots! I was "doing research" (some call it shopping, I call it research!) at Marshall's and saw the perfect pair of lace up boots but unfortunately they were not in my size. I still squeezed my 8 and 1/2 into that 7 and 1/2 just to see how it would look on and of course it was adorable since they weren't my size. I called and went to several other Marshall's in the area to try and find my size but to no avail. Then I found them on E-bay but they were more than what they were in the store AND I would have to pay shipping and handling, which would be okay if it the price was less....*breathe* so ANYWAY, I went back to a Marshall's that I had been to previously and there they were, size 8 and 1/2, in the section where they only have one style of a shoe left, smiling at me, with my name on them. (I'm not exaggerating, really!) So I am now the proud owner of these perfect boots and today of course it is 84 degrees outside so yes, I will have to wait.

Actress Sienna Miller seems to love her lace up boots as well:

And THESE are my boots that I bought at Marshall's:

The moral of the story: buy what you love!
