In fact, I have quite a few of them already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2408245 Sat, 14 Mar 2026 13:47:16 +0000 Janet 2408245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun collection! Your colors and shiny selections make me smile. Congrats on the new purchases too! New socks are such a nice affordable boost as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2408238 Sat, 14 Mar 2026 11:29:09 +0000 JamC 2408238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new shoes and socks!<br /> Looking forward to a post with a photo of you wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2408222 Sat, 14 Mar 2026 02:46:02 +0000 Jenni NZ 2408222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update: I took a bus trip today (free now I am 65 years old, if off-peak!) to our downtown shopping centre Commercial Bay, and bought the Lily sneakerina oat combo. Just as well I didn’t wait any longer as I got the last 36 in the whole company! I also found some lovely cream socks at H&amp;M, same shopping centre. 10% off for my first order from the Nicole Rebstock company helped a little.<br /> Very similar to some Vivaia ones which have been all over the internet, Vivaia similar price so I thought an NZ brand where the designer is my friend’s daughter-in-law felt better. I will treat the suede before wearing. Might do a new post to show you when I wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407952 Tue, 10 Mar 2026 13:09:58 +0000 RobinF 2407952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun collection! Love all the metallics. I have some sparkly doc Martens that I feel self conscious wearing - maybe I need to drag those back out!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407913 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 15:34:08 +0000 Angie 2407913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY, <b>Jenni</b>! Go Team Refined Shoes! I bet you're pleased with current footwear trends. Me too :)</p> <p>Looking at your footwear collection makes me smile - like you! Personal faves are #9 and #11. Really pretty.

I like sandals (because they hurt me the least ;))</div><div>Your new gold ones are very pretty, color and design. And my other faves are 11, 13 and 19.</div><div>I have a precious few with leather or other kind of wipeable / sanitizable insole.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407848 Sun, 08 Mar 2026 20:39:13 +0000 Jenni NZ 2407848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Star, yes those gold sandals (pic 14) are brand new, and since I still hadn’t found white ones I was happy with locally and the gold were on sale thanks to the store closing down- my best friend is not happy as she also loves shoes and unlike me has not counted her numbers!- they are sort of a substitute for now. End of summer here but we are off to Fiji for a holiday late April when it will be hot again.<br /> Thank you Suz, I am so sorry that your beautiful red Camper MJs are not more comfortable. Hope your arm is feeling better gradually.<br /> Staysfit, I think I will buy the Nicole Rebstock. I will get a bit of a discount if I sign up, and I do enjoy the personal connection with the owner although she won’t see, but next time I see my old friend she might tell her daughter-in-law. They’re similar to some Vivaia ones I have also found when searching sneakerinas, and a NZ rather than an international brand. I think I will go to the store which is in a further away mall in the central city, rather than order online. So it requires a bit of planning. Despite not working for past 3 months I have a few things going on with appointments, renovations of our original house, etc. I am actually going to an interview today for some possible fill-in work as I am maybe not quite ready to give up my practising certificate which expires in May, so I need to decide by then I feel.<br /> Thank you Ket, Carla and Suz like those bright pink ones as well. I think of those as my “party shoes” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407840 Sun, 08 Mar 2026 17:49:53 +0000 Ket 2407840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your shoe collection is fabulous!! My faves are the pointy-toe pink flats in photo 9. Such a gorgeous raspberry pink and beautiful design.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407833 Sun, 08 Mar 2026 11:14:08 +0000 Staysfit 2407833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, you have a wonderful and fun collection! &nbsp;I like the Nicole Rebstock shoes. &nbsp;Will you or won’t you? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407830 Sun, 08 Mar 2026 08:11:30 +0000 Star (Lise) 2407830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I missed to mention 14. Are those in place of the white ones you decided against? These are fab and look more like your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407824 Sun, 08 Mar 2026 01:25:09 +0000 Suz 2407824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like <b>Carla</b>, I'm a huge fan of 9 and 10! It's nice to see you so excited about these incoming styles and the new opportunities you may have to wear some older favourites. You have a great collection! And I really like those silver Jartellos you are considering.&nbsp;</p> <p>The shoes I currently own that align most closely with the upcoming trends are the ones below. I'd be happy to find some woven textured sandals, if I can. And if I can find more Mary Jane and a pair of Derbys with the support I need, I will definitely go for those -- or a lower profile loafer, if I can find a way to keep one on my feet. I wish my current Mary Janes were more comfy. Completely flat shoes end up as sitting shoes for me, alas! But I do love and wear these whenever I won't be walking too much.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407818 Sun, 08 Mar 2026 00:50:47 +0000 Jaime 2407818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun collection! I like the new pair you've picked out too. I think my favorite are the snazzy red booties with black and white trim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407809 Sat, 07 Mar 2026 21:00:36 +0000 Jenni NZ 2407809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! That’s funny J’Aileen.<br /> I didn’t mean to show some shoes twice but it wasn’t easy to match blog post numbers with photo numbers. All the sparkly shoes came from Australia- those boots and the red sparkly sandals from a brand called Midas, which I love the name of! Everything he touched turned to gold? And the sparkly ballet flats I specifically searched for after Angie did a post in mid 2023 about ballet flats, since I had none left.<br /> Thank you Sal for liking my new gold sandals! On sale as store closing down, for $79 instead of $199, and they may do instead of the elusive white pair I never found.<br /> I feel a trip to Commercial Bay to the Nicole Rebstock store is in my future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407808 Sat, 07 Mar 2026 19:39:23 +0000 Sal 2407808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome collection and I know how much you enjoy them. I love 9 10 and 14!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407807 Sat, 07 Mar 2026 18:33:54 +0000 JAileen 2407807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have some really fabulous shoes, Jenni. &nbsp;I think my favorites are &nbsp;the boots in 15 and 22. &nbsp;They look like something the evil stepmother in a Disney movie would wear. &nbsp;I’d wear them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407804 Sat, 07 Mar 2026 16:13:15 +0000 MsMary 2407804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great collection! The gold jazz shoes are my favorite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407798 Sat, 07 Mar 2026 12:57:14 +0000 Lisa 2407798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You’ve got a great shoe wardrobe and some lovely future additions on your shopping list. I hope you find everything you’re searching for! Isn’t it nice when the trends swing towards one’s personal preferences? Happy shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407791 Sat, 07 Mar 2026 04:00:01 +0000 Star (Lise) 2407791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get a medal! :). Some great shoes you have Jenni! Aren't you glad you kept the gold Oxfords? Right on trend. I love all of the pink and red shoes and sandals, as well as the green sandals. The sparkly boots in 22 are awesome. I have blush pink gumsoles from ten years ago as well and found them very versatile and comfy. They are getting a bit tired looking so now I only wear them for long walks. I always had bright pink sandals in my closet and haven't for ages. Looking at yours I miss them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407784 Sat, 07 Mar 2026 02:24:41 +0000 Bijou 2407784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such a fun shoes collection with lots of variety. I enjoy a mix of chunky and more delicate shoes and will wear both. My feet are getting fussy, I like a low heel, not flat or high. I love how your collection is fashionable without compromising on comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407782 Sat, 07 Mar 2026 01:33:34 +0000 Irina 2407782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely, colorful collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407781 Sat, 07 Mar 2026 01:02:38 +0000 Carla 2407781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing picks of your wonderful shoes. &nbsp;I just love #9 and #10. &nbsp;Sisters to my yellow slingbacks.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407779 Sat, 07 Mar 2026 00:39:55 +0000 kkards 2407779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cry when my favorites are no longer in good enough condition to wear anymore.&nbsp;<div>Jenni what a great collection. &nbsp;So much color and unique patterns and details. These shoes will add a zing and pop to every thing. Special love for all the metallics, and of course the patent leather pairs, &nbsp;because I love shiny shoes. &nbsp;</div><div>Love the&nbsp;sneakerinas and love that there is a personal connection with the brand! &nbsp;I vote get them (not that you really asked) &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407778 Sat, 07 Mar 2026 00:16:19 +0000 Jenni NZ 2407778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! I guess after 9 years on this forum it wouldn’t really be a surprise, LOL. I’m always slightly surprised when the shoes wear out or fall apart, even if it’s a decade. I get sad letting favourites go </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407777 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 23:36:10 +0000 JamC 2407777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, I read through the whole thing, and looked at all your shoes when you mentioned them!<br /> Of course I am not surprised by your wonderful and colorful shoe collection. And I am not surprised that you might want some new shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-excited-shoe-person%e2%80%a6#post-2407776 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 22:37:31 +0000 Jenni NZ 2407776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of all Angie’s blog posts I might be the most excited about this one, ever! It seems shoe trends are mostly shifting my way, towards my preferred more refined styles. Although I have been able to get them through the chunky years, so hopefully you chunky shoe lovers will still find things.<br /> Of the 26 trends I have or want 12 of them!<br /> 1. Low profile sneakers. Already have my Skechers and some decade old white ones which are on their last legs, boo hoo, so pretty with tiny white embroidered flowers. I just machine washed them but they are coming adrift. I also have pale pink decade old ones with gum soles.<br /> I really want some sneakerinas and am considering paying full price, shock! Maybe not in white but in pale. This shoe designer Nicole Rebstock is actually the daughter-in-law of one of my old friends of 47 years since we were 18. If I buy it will be my first purchase from her.<br /> Pics 1-4, my 3 and the possible new pair.<br /> 2. Woven textures. Love these. Already had 2 on my Wishlist. Pics 5/6.<br /> 3. Jazz or Derby. The sneakerinas kind of fit this? I also have the old gold Oxfords in my holding zone (pic 7)- had not been wearing but was scared I would miss them, they’re from 2013 I think!<br /> 8. Mesh- I like these and like jellies, the Melissa ones have been on my Wishlist for about 2 years. Pic 8.<br /> 10. Pointy toes and square toes. I prefer the former but forget occasionally when buying so have both. Pics 9-11.<br /> 11. Embellished. My favourite thing! Sassy! Pics 12-16. The gold sandals are new this week- “birthday shoe shopping” with my best friend, a shoe store near her was closing down.<br /> 12. Tall boots, not so much my thing but still have the one black pair, no pic.<br /> 13. Loafers, only have the yellow ones left and they’re getting old, no pic.<br /> 14. Mary Janes- have come to really like these. Refer pic 9 bright pink. I also have some gold true vintage ones in the dress-ups for Art Deco.<br /> 19. Patent- have and love several. Pic 9 plus pics 17-19.<br /> 22. Fancy flats- most of them count! The two pairs of boots here have low heels so may not quite fit this category. Pics 20-23.<br /> 25. Strappy sandals- have always admired this category but can’t do stilettos. Maybe pic 24 sort of counts.<br /> And that’s my story! If you read all that you deserve a medal </p>
