Aren't they adorable? They really aren't as high as they look because the platform off-sets the heel. Now, this brings me to the second part of this post. I just finished reading this most amusing book...
"French Toast", by Harriet Welty Rochefort. Harriet is an American from the mid-west, married to a Frenchman and has lived in France for the last twenty years. In this book she shares her thoughts on demystifying the french and on some of the unique things about living in France. In one chapter she speaks about her french sister-in-law preparing a seven course meal in a silk blouse and heels without wearing an apron. So, do you think I could wear these shoes to prepare Thanksgiving dinner? Maybe not, but I could certainly wear them to eat it!
To authenticate this we really should ask Catherine, a real French woman with the most beautiful blog: http://le-monde-de-catherine.blogspot.com/ If you haven't visited it yet you really should to have un peu de beauté pour la journée...a little beauty for the day.
How about you, do you ever offer yourself a bribe?

Ooh la la! Those shoes are something else! I will have to try and find the book. It sounds like an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteI totally bribe myself to get unpleasant tasks done. Nice little shoes you picked up!
ReplyDeleteWow, you can walk in those? I don't think I can anymore... So yes, wear them while you eat Thanksgiving dinner, becaue I assume that you do that sitting...
ReplyDeleteOk...I would not describe those shoes as cute..I would say they are hot! I either treat myself to jewelery or something for my house.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a nice comment.
A book that sounds too good to resist and shoes to match! I'm surprised you don't schedule more doctor's appointments:)
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed looking through your blog... I was unable to leave a comment yesterday (??) so luckily came back today for your great french recommendations.
I'm glad you enjoyed the wine post... I am sure you have lots of fabulous wineries close to you as well!
Oh yeah, bribes are great ways to get things done. I could never wear those shoes! I'd for sure be at a doctor's office, for I'd break my clumsy neck!

I think your bribe is an absolutely fabulous one. And be sure to wear them on Thanksgiving day!
