>> No I mean, really, please stop me. It must be fate that I keep getting lead to these great $20 shoe deals, but I could really use a cease and desist order right about now. Here I am, about to embark on a great voyage to Europe, and am I saving my money? Noooo, of course not, why would I ever do something intelligent and responsible like that? Especially when there's these great pairs of shoes on sale stateside? I told you I was downright addicted -- I was not kidding.
And now, the fruits of my labors (and trust me, it was soooo labor-intensive to walk into the store and try on a couple pairs of shoes):

The first pair kind of reminded me of the Chloe Bow Moccasins -- they're nice Italian leather, comfortable, and perfect for traipsing around Spain (until I find some suitable espadrilles, that is). And the second pair is just pure whimsy... but its good to have a little of that in your life every once and a while. Besides, I've been on a bright-colored-shoe kick lately -- I like the punch they add to an outfit. Let's just say, today, I am a satisfied customer.
