fears have made monster of Jessica
It's funny - I embraced the grunge look like whoa, but have never, ever owned a pair of real Docs. I am verra excited.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh, I was shopping anyway - Dylan has no fall/winter shoes that fit AT ALL because it was still sandal weather up until about yesterday afternoon. But Zappos has better prices than Piperlime.

So far Em has a pair of black, clunky Mary Janes, black, canvas Keds, and pink and silver sneakers. I forsee her needing brown mary janes and possibly red mary janes in addition to her snow/winter boots. Those I'm getting from LL Bean. Or Land's End. One of those.

Fay - aren't they kick ass??? I love that they have abit of a heel, but still look Doc Marten-y.

I like the Lands End "Snow Flurry" boots for winter - waterproof, easy to get on/off, and under $30.

Now tagless for your comfort.
jessica, my kids have the Flurry boots. Of course they both need new ones before winter. I have some blue ones in size 10 toddler I can hold onto for you until D can wear them.
I, too, was tempted by the teeny, adorable Docs.

Aw, thanks so much! It'll be a few years, though - he's a size 6 now.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Speaking of spending money, I bought this yesterday: [link] in Olive. Verra expensive for a bag (at least considering what I usually spend), but the DH pointed out that I love my nylon one and it has lasted for years.

They're awesome, but it seems like a lot of money to pay for something with such a short lifespan, Aims.
We could form a Buffista consortium and pass the shoes down from child to child. Docs last forever.
I mean, it's not unusual for Matilda to be wearing something that already went through Ellie and Casper.
