Stiletto Shoes

Anyone who has ever met me knows that I love shoes. I think it's all thanks to one Miss Carrie Bradshaw and her worship of the Manolo. Ever since I started watching SaTC, my appreciation of shoes has escalated to a level 3 threat... or what I like to call a Code Orange. Code Orange means that your closet if full to the brim of whatever item you love (albeit handbags, belts, scarves, etc.) but yet you still crave the newest and nicest styles of the season. Recently, on a walk up Madison Avenue, I ran across these glorious YSL pumps: 

Since I clearly don't live in a world where I can afford these shoes, I happened to see a pretty good imitation at Aldo:

Now, of course they aren't quite as fab, but they may make it into my next purchase scheme to overload my closet into a Code Red situation (so named because my husband's face turns red when he realizes I bought more shoes....)

Equinox Gym

For the first time since college, I have been frequenting a gym. I am not known for being a gym rat, in fact, it's so much better (and free) to run outside, right? True, but with winter coming up, that pretty much puts the kabosh on most outside activity. Cut to Equinox Gym, opening right across the street from my apartment.

OMG, this gym is awesome. It is 5 floors, fully stocked, completely clean, and has state of the art equipment. I haven't been to a gym in so long, I couldn't believe the treadmills had their own TV's! Apparently, this is common place now, but I had no idea. Since joining, I have gone everyday, and my husband has come along just as many times too. So far, I have been feeling better about working different muscle groups and getting some cardio worksouts in as well. As I've heard a million times in the media, working out makes you feel better, and so far it has certainly been keeping my spirits up.

Welcome!!!
