wan-na find something?

fabulous friday giveaway!

so, even though i fear that the storyline itself will likely suck ass, i'm still excited to see this:




even though quite a few of SJP's outfits in SATC are pretty outlandish for my conservative ass, i still love checking them all out. besides, in addition to her reported 40+ costume changes throughout the movie, i find myself admiring outfits on prissy, girly charlotte. i love her pearl-clutching, full-skirt wearing character, and more than once i've headed off to the mall in search of something similar to one of her ensembles from the show.

and, of course, SATC is nothing without the shoes. those chicks get to rock some pretty fantastic footwear, and even if one can't pull off the fashionista getups, every girl can strut her stuff in a kick ass pair of shoes.

every girl, of course, except me - because i'm a total heels wuss. i'm almost always in flip-flops, flats, or wedges with maaaaybe a 2" heel. anything taller than that and i'm whining within the hour about my feet hurting. beauty is pain, this i know, but i just can't sacrifice my comfort to that extreme.

and now, something fun for you guys - an almost completely unrelated giveaway. haha! i'm signed up for daily updates from a site called
groupon - they offer some really great discounts every day for products and services. usually, they're local to wherever you live. anyway, a few weeks ago, the offer of the day was for something called rolleez. i clicked on the link and found these:

they're what i call "emergency flats." you know, you're out and about, looking fabulous in your 4-inch stiletto heels, but you're pooped and your feet are killing you. and driving or doing pretty much anything outside of the house or at the beach barefoot is gross (at least, i think so), so you continue on miserably in your fabulous but hellish footwear. OR, you reach into your trunk or wherever you keep stuff like this, pull out a pair of little ballet-style flats, unroll them and slip 'em on. and then you can put your awesome heels in this little tote bag, which unfurls from this strawberry shape:



okay, i sound like a damn commercial. no, i'm not being paid to sell these things - but i do have a bunch of pairs to give away! i've got black, pink, gold, and silver ones in size medium (supposedly for a 7-8 foot). granted, they're not the most beautiful shoe in the world, but i think it's nice to have an option available just in case. i've found myself hobbling around after attending a party or a wedding or something, and having a pair of flats in the car would've been fantastic.

anyway, if you'd like to get your hands on a pair, leave me a comment with your e-mail address, your top two color choices, and - hmmm. just for fun, tell me (or link me) to a pair of shoes you'd love to scoop up this summer. i need shoes, and maybe you guys can help me shop.

you've got till monday at 9:00am (PST) to enter, and then i'll use random.org to pick some winners!

  1. Oh they're really adorable and I especially like the strawberry bag that comes with them. I like the silver and copper ones the best.

    A couple of shoes I'm eyeing: Louboutin Knotted Pump in nude and Tory Burch Reva lizard Print

  2. i'm totally stoked for SATC 2..i sooo wanna go watch it at midnite but my old ass won't wanna wake up for work the next morning..so instead i'll go to a matinee on a saturday. :)

    anywho...those flats are super cute. my top 2 - definitely pink or black
    email- a_guardado@yahoo.com

    oh and i totally get you with the 2 inch heel maximum...i can't handle anything taller..which sucks because there are so many cute ass shoes, but i'd likely kill myself if i try and walk in them.. i picked these up a couple of weeks ago at payless ;)

  3. OMG! I posted something like these on The Nest once and got flamed to high hell and never thought about them again.

    I want these for Vegas! It seems like no matter how comfy my shoes are when I leave my hotel for a night on the town, I end up hobbling back barefoot with monster blisters and wish I had something better... Rolleez are the answer to my prayers.

    I love the black and the silver!

  4. Fun!! I'm a total baby when it comes to shoes too. High heels are a major decision for me.

    My email address is leticia2u@gmail.com and my top 2 colors are black or white. lol. I'm boring.

    Here are some shoes I've been eyeing:

  9. Those are adorable! (E-mail in my profile)

    I've been obsessed with fun yellow heels for a couple years. I like these http://www.zappos.com/nina-elijah-canary-luster-satin
    but I wish they weren't so "Bridesmaid yellow" and more of a sunny yellow. The quest continues.

  10. Hi! I like black & silver.

    Thank you!

  11. I like pink and black. Very Carrie colors!

  12. I could be practical and say the black...but I'm going with pink and silver :)

    And for shoes -- I'm thinking of bringing back espadrilles and huaraches for summer...high school and after - they were my favorite shoes...

  13. i could be rich right now b/c i swear i thought of this idea forever ago.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Awesome I don't care if people don't like them they are adorable!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I totally need those! I'm usually in heels even when running around town with DS but those would be great to just throw in my diaper bag in case I decide I can no longer wear the heels. But by the time I realize I need flats, I have lost all feeling to my feet and just keep on wearing the heels.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Ok, I freaking love these things! So cute and an adorable idea! I'd love the boisterous black or the precious pink. *pink is my fave*

    You can contact me via my blog, or I can private message my email to you.

    I am wanting these for the summer:

  17. I want the black and the gold ... those would be handy to have around.

    As for shoes to scoop up this summer, I could go for a good pair of wedges, for height and comfort:

  19. yay, can't wait for satc2!

    yay groupon! i like the black and the gold. a lot of times i'm at school all schlumpy then my friends wanna go somewhere niceish for a quick drink, dinner, etc. and i'm in my flip flops and yoga pants. this way i can borrow clothes from friends but have shoes that fit (kind of...i have midget feet to match my height) in the car.

    for summer, these are pretty hot: http://obsessed.instyle.com/obsessed/photos/results.html?No=0 (but out of my budget and comfort bubbles).

    Those would be great for emergency shoes - especially when you're always in heels (like me) but have had your shoes for so long that the heels sometimes fall off. That's fun.

    Anyway, here are shoes I want now or in the summer:

    My favorite colors are copper and black. (I also wouldn't mind having the silver and pink... can't I be like Carrie and have it all?)

    The shoes I've been eyeing this summer are Kenneth Cole's Pretty Zone.

  30. I would like the black or gold ones most, I think.

    As far as shoes for the summer--I'd like another pair of black platform flip-flops from jcrew. They were my favorite summer shoe until they broke last year.

  31. Yay! How fun! I like black and silver the most. I just spent HOURS looking for a pair of sandals or flats for the summer and found nothing :( So, I guess I'm not the person to ask when it comes to recommendations on shoes.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love the black and silver ones!

    As far what I'm looking for this summer, something with a peep toe that I can wear to work. I work for a company that insanely doesn't allow fully open-toed shoes.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Ohhh....I like all the colors! I think my top choices would be pink and copper---although the silver and black look awesome too, so I'd be happy with whatever!

    ReplyDelete
  34. you know you want to hook me up with a silver pair. ;)

  35. I think they're super cute! I love the silver pair!

  42. I just found your blog :)

    Those shoes are fabulous AND functional! So rare. My favorite would have to be the pink and then the gold

    I don't have a specific shoe in mind (because it depends on your skin tone) but you should look into getting a nude heel, they make your legs look model long and lean
