I’m still on my Mother’s Day kick today. Why not? Mom’s Day has a special meaning during those first few crazy years of motherhood. I bet you remember the rare days you actually wash, dry, curl, style, flat iron your hair instead of throwing it up in a ponytail.

I’m still thoroughly shocked and/or impressed with the moms in my neighborhood that show up to drop their little kids off at school and are fully decked out at 9 a.m. Did they have to wake up at 6:00 am to get all of that accomplished? The hair, the jewelry, the outfit, the shoes, the big smile, the brushed teeth, the lack of food residue on the shirt. Yep, as a mom the whole “getting ready” routine becomes an enormous “situation.” I’m pretty sure I’ve run out of the house with mascara on one eye only once or twice.

Enough of the babbling and on to the fun stuff. Expensive shoes! Ooooh & aaaahhhh. I’m not actually a Bluefly shopper, but I do like to check out their shoes every so often. BF does not disappoint! This year, let mom know you love her and appreciate her by giving her a pair of shoes. For some mommies, diamonds are not a girl’s best friend — platforms are!

Hi there, Prada. You had me at hello. The detailed stitching on your platform makes me shed tears of joy and the fact that your are a 5″ heel makes me weep! Wearing you would make a gal a bazillion feet tall. How can we not love thee?

My dear Giuseppe Zanotti, Tu sei una stella! You are croc print and bejeweled with love. Your chunky gold heel  makes you even more desirable. Wait, can you be worn with gold and silver? Beautiful confusion.

And last, but not least….Christian Louboutin. Bright green with a wooden stacked heel like an incredibly stylish frog that happens to cost over $700. Sigh. Oh what fun we would have together….you in my closet and me staring at you sitting in my closet. True love!
