Happy St. Patrick’s Day Folks!

Are you wearing your green today? I certainly wouldn’t want to see anybody getting pinched. And why is it that this is one habit that most so-called adults that I’ve known have never outgrown? There really are few things less dignified than adults being gleefully pinched by coworkers. Oh well ….

I’m wearing my green …. My kids made certain of that. My outfit today is primarily courtesy of my four-year old son’s foray into my closet this morning. Given that knowledge, it is not nearly as cartoonish an ensemble as one might imagine.

So, in the theme of green, here are a few earthy-green shoes for your consideration:

How about you? How do you show your holiday green?

Dreamy Majorette Boots by Fendi

Let me start out by saying that I like summer as much as anyone. Warm weather and sunshine is nice, but after weeks of high-90’s temperatures, I am looking forward to more moderate fall temperatures. Plus, my recent time in Las Vegas visiting with family may have left me feeling a bit ’summered out’ - at least for a while. Whatever the reason, I was thrilled to discover during this weekend’s window-shopping that shoe and department stores are moving past caged booties, gladiator sandals, and *ick* flip-flops and into fall-friendly closed-toe Maryjanes, ankle boots, and knee-boots.

Yay! Fall has some of the most delicious footwear - particularly if you are a boot-lover like me.

One thing I noticed after visiting several area stores is that grey boots, in particular, are calling to me this season. Perhaps it’s a carry-over from walking through the Bellagio shops where I covetously petted these uber-soft, grey, majorette boots by Fendi that are, sadly, not even remotely in this year’s budget (But *Gasp* - Love ‘em!):

(Fendi boots are $995 at Net-a-porter)

These Fendi lovelies felt soooo dreamy. There really is whole other level of softness that you don’t find in cheaper leathers. (Don’t even get me started about walking through Bottega Veneta and Hermes …. *Sigh*)

The 17 year old with the pink tennis shoes

I’ve been following the inspiring run of unseeded tennis phenom Melanie Oudin at the 2009 US Open. So far, she’s beaten tennis favorites such as Elena Dementieva, Maria Sharapova and Nadia Petrova - and she’s only 17 years old! I love an underdog and I honestly think this girl might have the determination, fierceness, and fight in her to win. Just look at the concentration and effort written all over this girl’s face!

While watching Oudin play, it’s hard to miss Oudin’s hot pink and yellow tennis shoes. After doing a little research, I found out these sneakers are by Adidas and the colors were hand selected by Oudin herself. Supposedly, these shoes are one of a kind, but the interest level in Oudin is so huge, I wouldn’t be surprised if Adidas decides to mass produce or do a limited edition sale. Sign me up for one, please!

The words “BELIEVE” are inscribed on the shoe. When asked about the inscription, Oudin said her boyfriend and tennis hitting partner (ahhh, teenage love) gave her the idea. Fitting, because I totally ‘BELIEVE’ in Oudin!
