Shoes...but not the cute kind

So I finaly went to A Snail's Pace to get some good shoes for running. I found out that when I run, I severily overpronate. This means that I roll my foot too much when I run which causes my arch to cave in. Overpronating leads to plantar fasciitis, Shin Splints, Knee Pain and blisters. Because I overpronate so much, according to the girl who was helping me, I know own a pair of running shoes that have as much support as a grandmothers orthopidics,at least they come in silver and purple. But it urns out that I really like running and I look forward to it every day so buying my horribly ugly and huge(size 10) shoes so that I can finally run without pain!

So the first day out in them was a little painful, but I am hoping that they get better once my feet start to get used to them. It is a three mile run tonight which is not too bad so hopefully my feet will make it!

So I am losing my job in about a month, but I cannot stop buying shit on gilt.com. I just bought this sweater by three dots and I got it for over 50% off! Now if only I could always have the money to pay for shit like this.

Confession

A number of years back, my aunt bought my mother this beautiful William Morris silk scarf from the Met for her birthday and I instantly fell in love. I was in possession of this scarf for a couple of months but have recently become aware of its disappearance which happens to be around the time that my sister came to visit. Well I figured it was finally time for me to invest in my own scarf but did not want to fork out the $60 that the Met charges, so I went to ebay and found it! I still payed too much for it, but at least it was less than i would have paid...and it is so perfect!



This was going to be my big purchase of my 2nd half of September paycheck until I remembered that I had already bought some Enzo Angiolini booties!



I kind of love being a grown up who has money. To bad this is all going to end soon

The Run

So lets face it, I am not a skinny girl, so than why did I think it would be a good idea to begin training for the Surf City Marathon? Well honestly, I have no idea other than I really want the medal and a nice pair of running pants (preferably Lu Lu Lemon). So here I am, with sore legs from running 6 miles yesterday and terrified about the next 6 tomorrow. But on the bright side I will be at the Pasadena flea market on Sunday with my wonderful mother and possibly my beautiful sister! I need some cute vintage clothes.
