Ahhhh...relaxation!


It has to come to an end, but I am really enjoying my time off. I run, go to the gym, ride my bike, sit in the sun and do crossword puzzles - absolute bliss. Eventually I have to find another job and sooner than later. I look online and work on pages from a book that is supposed to help me be closer to the job of my dreams.

In wedding planning news, we have settled on a date, a venue and, while my mother in law to be was here, a dress. Check, check, check and check. While searching the web today for possible shoes to go with said dress, I found this little beauty. I'm not really sure what Gypsy Soule BH Alice is and I am sure I am not cool enough to know, but the $400 (yes, you read correctly) price tag just about made my jaw drop. I mean, really, does anything surprise us anymore? $400 for ugly flip flops, well of course. Does the flip flop massage my feet? Make me a better dancer? Do my laundry? I might pay $400 for something that has ongoing benefits...nah, not really, but please, dear reader, read on:

"The Gypsy Soule® brand of free-spirited shoes was founded in 2006 by two dynamic women with a flair for dramatic style, a bold risk-taking attitude and the guiding mantra "products for women, designed by women." From its roots in the western industry, the brand broke into uncharted territory by offering products that defined the intrepid personalities of its wearers and gave them the confidence to stand out in a crowd. After four years of explosive growth, the company has evolved to encompass two industry-renowned brands, Gypsy Soule® and Gypsy Cowgirl. Today, Gypsy Soule® brand style is uniting women from a variety of lifestyles in the shared pursuit of expressing their freedom and individuality. Gypsy Soule® brand shoes are handmade with the finest materials available. Artisans hand-embellish each unique piece with superior materials like natural cowhide, recycled metal conchos, and genuine Swarovski® crystals. Like couture fashion, each piece is individually made by skilled craftsmen for a custom look, and no two pieces are exactly alike. The Gypsy Soule® brand company personally ensures that its products are of the highest quality and will look great through all of your Soule's journeys. We are confident that you'll find that every Gypsy Soule® brand shoe and accessory you purchase will be made with the attention to workmanship and innovative fashion that defines the Gypsy Soule® brand. Gypsy Soule® believes in the freedom to choose your own path and the attitude to take you there. With a signature rock 'n roll attitude, Gypsy Soule® stands for bucking the status quo and for following your 'Soule' wherever it leads you."

Me thinks my soule leads me to broke! And what, might I ask are recycled metal conchos? This is not a Spanish work I have ever heard. Oh, now I see, $400 gives you a unique, one of a kind, UGLY flip flop. Now it all makes sense. We just keep reachin' new levels.
