Not quite Mi Piaci, but...

Today's photo comes from my Mum.
Over the weekend my folks were here in Auckland to celebrate Megan's birthday, and then take the chiddlers back home for a week. Yesterday we all met at Botany Town Centre so that Miss Ten could choose some 'high heels' for her birthday from her Aunty Lynn.
Alas the selection was not extensive, so I suggested to Mum and Megan that Whakatane might have more of a range than Auckland?
Turns out is was true. Well, in terms of the kids range at Number One Shoes. I am  not sure if Mi Piaci retails in Whakatane...

Back-to-Work Blues?

Today was the first day I was actually sitting back at my desk, in my actual office, after the holiday break. Can't help but feel a little blue in a situation like that.
That's when my friendly local courier made my day. I wish I had the decency to remember his name - it's something common in Indian, like John or Steve or Mike is in English - because this is the second time he has remembered mine, out of context.
I won't go in to the personalised Christmas Card delivery debacle, except to say he did his best to get them to me on time. If only everyone else had done their bit I might have received them in time to send them out for Christmas.
Today, while delivering at school, he saw me, confirmed I was Lynn, and said he had a package for me in the van. Had he not remembered me, I would have had to wait till Saturday for the delivery of my new blue shoes, as I would not have been at home to receive them.
So instead my back-to-work Blues ended up being a pair of skyscraper Mi Piaci heels, which I quite forgot I had ordered on Friday.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods


And therefore I am such a heathen.
Lisa, my good friend and 'neighbour' at work, and I have recently become worshippers of Mi Piaci shoes. Personally I am all about the Skyscraper heels - something to do with the illusion they create when you lack length of leg yet have plenty of circumference. What's different about Mi Piaci's lofty numbers is that they are honestly amazingly comfortable. I have proven I can even run in them.
Sale season is well and truly here and Lisa has been making the most of it. Maybe I should tempt the devil in me and pop by the store tomorrow and see what new heights I can reach...
