Completely adorable. You're both amazing. Glad Marley got the nude, but the black are also very cool.

I love how you are wearing your BFs.

Thanks, everyone. We had a really fab day and like Denise said, it was hard to walk away without my own pair, but I'm staying strong, too. She has very sexy feet and the shoes fit perfectly. The straps didn't look as nice on me since I have rather flat feet. I do think the black ones would work for Marley just as well (translated, this means "in addition to" the nude.)

The two of you are a cure for the blues - and how amazing that YLF brought your lives together.

I have to chime in and say: I am taking credit for being the inspiration!!

Love that you got them. I have a blush/nude pair as well.

I have never been to the Irvine Spectrum! I only just learned about it after 14 years of living in SoCal. I'm going to go online and see what stores they have. I also like to go to Fashion Island in Newport. It's almost a good thing that all the good shopping is either far north or far south of Palos Verdes. I'd be SUNK with all those exquisite store right under my nose!

They closed down the old Zara at SCP for renovations, and I think gave it a new spot. I hope it will be a full service Zara with lots of shoes!

If we met at FI, there's that amazing Brazilian restaurant right across from Neiman's --fab food and drinks and a fun "scene."

Karymk, it's a date! Let's plan it when I get back from NYC (leaving this week). Yes, saw the boarded up Zara's at SCP and was sad, but I'm sure it will be even better. Love trying new restaurants. Saw the Fig + Olive, too and of course there's Tender Greens.
