shoe shopping always makes me feel better

as with everywhere else in this country, global warming is wreaking havoc on the temperatures here and i am dying. seriously, i. am. dying.

i complained last summer but this year's heatwave is worse. and our house traps heat, we have no ac, and i can't open the windows because of the construction going on right across the street. our fan manages to only move around warm air, and i've made the mistake of making hot dinners, which makes our kitchen as hot as a sauna.

so, to escape the heat, what better place to go than the mall? free air conditioning! shopping! bliss!

ian needed a new pair of shoes and i had a nordstrom gift certificate to use, so we splurged and got some shoes. ian picked out an adorable pair of octopi vans, which rupert found to be too cute ("this is why i need to go shoe shopping with you," is what he said).

do i need shoes? of course not. didn't stop me from getting two pairs. and it certainly didn't stop me from totally enjoying purchasing them ... especially since i used the gift card.

after we came home the unbearable heat of the house forced us back out again to take an air conditioned car ride to the supermarket. ian and i thought it would be a great idea to just hang out at the market all day long in the air conditioning eating popsicles. indeed, it's not a bad idea.

that's ian octopi vans in the second picture ... mine are the plaid vans and the lace-less all stars. i really wanted to get some slip-on-ish sneakers for the summer.

s: i wouldn't recommend these shoes if you have bad feet/ankles because there is NO support in either shoe. but they are cute, aren't they?
