My obsession with shoes

When all else fails shopping I always find myself in the shoe isle because I know shoes will always fit me and never let me down. Recently I've had some amazing purchases. 

I needed a new pair of sneakers as my old ones were too small leaving me with bruised toe nails. 

My Nine West Boutique 9 Jo's. I'm slightly in love with these babies. 

In the back are all Nine West Regola's. I was in need of a plain brown and black heel and I've always wanted a red heel so I couldn't resist. The flats are all from Target. They have the best flats for the greatest prices. I must add they're super comfy as well. 

Those leopard flats were calling my name. Thanks to my sister Maria she was able to get them for me, as they were sold out online and no longer in stores near me. 

Jessica Simpson wedges from Marshall's. I have a found love for Jessica Simpson shoes. They are always so cute. 

I bought these in hopes to wear them to the upcoming outdoor wedding I'm going to but I decided I was going to wear a pair of cute flat sandals instead. Im sure I'll find great use for them. I got these Bamboo wedges from UrbanOg. 

If it sparkles I need it. I feel in love with these BCBG sandals from Marshall's. best part is I got them for $10. I can't pass down a great deal. 

These babies are adorable. White witg snake skin gold. Nine West Boutique 9 Sally's. Yes, I'm wearing gold. I can wear it in small doses. My fear is wearing them and ruining them because they are white. So for now I'll lung them to work with me one day to wear. 

These are so ahh so fabulous. They sparkle and have studs. I love them so. They are Shi from Journeys. 

My other bargain purchase from Marshall's. I used to have a pair of white studded sandals from Roxy. Loved them so much I wore them out. I told myself I needed to find a new pair this year. 

Yes yes I bought pink high top sequence Converse. Why you ask? Well I love pink, sparkles and I've wanted these since they came out. That's like 4-5 years if you're wondering. So Kev convinced me to treat myself to them- being every time I saw them I'd say "oh one day I'll buy those!" Glad I did. Love them so :) 

As I mentioned I have quite the love for shoes as the never let me down with the whole fitting and looking good on me aspect. Plus they are always super cute. I'm sure before the summers over I'll have more to add to the collection. 

What could possibly happen before 9am?

Well said right? Well typical day get ready to work, catch the train be on my way. Walk to work stop at Starbucks on the way for a grande skinny iced caramel macchiato and then on my way. Well I walk into work say hello to my good friend and she says "Alyssa you have a stain on the back of your dress" Wonderful. I look and its a noticeable big stain on the back of my brand new tags just taken off dress. Needless to say my stain anxiety kicked in. I have a serious issue with stains and just can't function if I have one on my clothes. I'm so thankful I work next to a mall. Otherwise I don't know what I would have done. Waited for the mall to open at 10am and off to Express I went. Of course, they didn't have the same one I was wearing left in my size. So I had to pick out something new to wear. Shuffling through the entire store I start to panic because I didn't have time to shop I needed to get back to work and I couldn't find anything to buy that I looked good in.

Shuffling through the racks tried about five things on I finally said to the store associate that I needed a work appropriate cute outfit, please help. She found me a cute pink top with a black pencil skirt and I loved it. Only thing was it had an open back so I then had to buy a tank top. I wore brown sandals to work and threw on a pair of flats I had in my desk. My feet were sweating just shopping (maybe I was a bit stressed as well) but I couldn't continue the day with that option so I grabbed a pair of sandals as well. She took the censors and tags off the outfit. I put it on, bought it and back to work I went. $100 later I have a new cute work outfit.

Kickball Little League & Our Adventures

Kev and I are a very competitive couple when it comes to pretty much anything. We both hate to loose. So it always ends with a nice game and a "I'll get you next time" 

We always play some sort activity with Gregory (his little brother) almost daily. Whether it be kickball, wiffle ball, basketball or just playing catch. Gregory and I are always on the same team as Kev seems to beat us more than we would like. The good thing is we always have a great time playing with each other and trying to keep our sportsmanship in check. 

My new American kickball 

Gregory's little league game was a good show. A home run and a win to bring the season to a wrap. He's been or acting almost everyday with his big brother. 

There's Greg in the outfield.

Over Memorial Day weekend we went to the range to keep our swing in check. We took along little G with us.

Our favorite thing to do is be with each other and eat. We always love a good meal. Recently we went out for sushi our favorite and some much needed drinks. We've found our new favorite sushi place and they have happy hour specials on drinks. SCORE. 

Look how delicious those drinks look.

Another one of our friends for engaged. I'm so happy for Emily & Noel. Here's the engagement gift I sent them. Some fun things to look at when they start planning the big day.
