The blog may be in my hands for a bit.  The upcoming baby is on the front of Catherine’s mind.  The Dr. thinks he will arrive in the next day of two.  We are all on pins and needles.  I hope that Ethan still has the cute little crew cut I saw on Catherine’s last ultrasound.  I really can’t believe how exciting it is to become a Grandmama.  I get all the fun and don’t have to be pregnant.

I was reading Vogue for some ideas and thought that new trends in shoes would be perfect as I have always loved a good shoe.  Plus, our new fall styles are on there way and these will be the perfect complement to La Grande Dame’s fashions.

Vogue was showing shoulder bags and loafer pumps as the new thing.  I do hope that they take off.  I think that the shoe business has gotten into a rut.  Even though these “new” styles remind me of my late teens and early twenties I love them.  I like the clean elegant lines of the loafer pumps and hope that the platform pumps can be put in mothballs for a while.  I think it is a bit early in the season for the retail outlets to have many of the shoes shown in Vogue but I found some good representations.  A couple of them were even on sale!

These are a standby that will always look current for us older women who still want the trend without the pain.  I am going to try these on today if we don’t get a baby.

Very cute with a bit of an edge and a little more reasonable price tag.

Drool drool drool if only I were younger!  Maybe once I break down and get my knees replaced I can reward myself.

This versatile shoe can be your go to all fall and is on sale to boot.  If I could wear heels I would snap these up.
