Earlier, I went boot shopping at Myer. Holy crap, I'm actually embarrassed for myself. I've been to two Myer stores at least five times over the last couple of weeks, trying to buy the right coat/boots. It's been exhausting. In addition, I've been talking to the sales assistants and asking for help. Then leaving and coming back again and asking them more stuff. I'm probably on an international blacklist at this point.
Thankfully, I bought some boots today. Not from Myer, however. I had my heart set on this pair: http://www.myer.com.au/shop/mystore/au-women-r-5/winter-edit-boots/dfsupersoft-hanae-brown-boot
I tried the size 9 on in the store. The leather was buttery soft (really appealing to my vegetarian/vegan readership at this moment) and so comfortable. But I wanted to size up to a 9.5. No stores in WA had it. VIC had one pair and the sales assistant called them for me but it was a display pair and I was not keen on it. Too bad because there was free shipping involved which is a very helpful service. I appreciate that, Myer.
In the end, I went to eat Sumo Salad (note to self: it is entirely possible to overeat and subsequently feel fat from salad) then hit Betts as a last resort. I've tried their boots before and most of the time, the material (non-leather) is too stiff and not comfortable enough. As a lady with broad feet, I require the most supple of cowhide to accommodate my large hooves. I found this one pair (unfortunately, black. I already have a black suede pair of boots and was gunning for a brown pair) that were real leather, very comfortable and 70% off at $68.90. And then one of the sales assistants came around with a $10 voucher for everyone. I promptly made up my mind and bought them. They are lovely. Not ideal but hopefully will allow for comfortable trekking across the streets of Firenze.
This is the most boring post I've ever written. I've also decided on this fringe for my haircut tomorrow whilst keeping the rest of my hair long:
Any excuse to post a picture of Emma.
