Every now and then, a girl comes across an item that she just has to have – no matter the cost. It could be a dress. May be a piece of jewelry. \u00a0A pair of \u00a0shoes. \u00a0A house. \u00a0Or even a man. I have come across something that I just have to have. I don’t know how or when, but I will have them.<\/p>\n

Kelsi Dagger Linzy Pumps<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

You see those Kelsi Dagger Linzy Pumps up there? I just have to have them! It was love at first sight when I first spotted these bright red pumps. There’s only one problem: I cannot seem to find them anywhere. They exist in every other color but this bright red patent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In my head, I have worn these shoes so many times to so many places. I have walked into so many events and people have stopped to look gawk at my feet. In my head, I have taken a couple dozen pictures of my feet in these shoes. [Yes, I can be vain like that.] In my head, my feet have gone places in these shoes. In my head, my feet, while dressed in these show-stopping shoes, \u00a0have played footsie with a certain someone under the table. Okay, playing footsie only works when you’re bare-footed, but still …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Four and half inches of heel, that would put my height at five feet, nine and half inches. It may not make me a giant, but I won’t be a little person either. It costs $119 at Macy’s, but Macy’s doesn’t even have it in the patent red color. \u00a0I don’t know how or when I’ll get these shoes, but one way or another, I must get them. I tried to buy them yesterday, but they were nowhere to be found. I’m sincerely believing that I did not look well enough.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While we’re on the subject of shoes, I’d like to conveniently remind you that my birthday is coming up in exactly seven days – January fourteenth (14th). What’s that I hear? You want a wish list? Why, sure, I’ll make one! \u00a0But you don’t have to wait. If you can get me these shoes, I’ll love you forever and a day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

P.S. Get them in size 9.5 or 10 –\u00a0preferably\u00a010.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

P.P.S. Have I mentioned how much I love these shoes?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

P.P.P.S And of course, the shoes can be found here<\/a><\/strong>. I thought you might want to know \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
