happy mum's day. hope it's a good one for you and yours. and just for fun i went with mine to check out a few open houses near the big D. we traipsed across the hardwood floors, tested the kitchen cabinets and cooed at the spacious master closets. with 10- and 12-foot ceilings there was plenty of room for a lady's needs but i noticed not a lot of attention was given to shoe space. seriously, where are the shoe-shelves people?

a grown woman needs a place for her footwear doesn't she? at a minimum, in the largest house (5,900+ sq.ft) there was dedicated room for maybe 20 pair. boooooo! plenty of hanging space for accompanying clothes, but where would you put the shoes? i poo-pooed each place and came straight home in search for a sunday shoe.

prada's whitewash sandal takes today's cake. in vintage nappa leather and the open toe with grosgrain bow, it reminds me of something i pictured my mom in—back in her day with her permed hair and high-waisted belled jeans—but with a modern twist i'd be seen in. heels are getting sturdier, and this 110mm thick white wash wooden heel is no exception. at $595 they kind of rock [1]! happy sunday.
