Birds. Yes, birds. Some people may find them scary, or mechanical, or have flashbacks to Hitchcock movies….but I love them. To me they are like flowers, delicate and enamouring. Fleeting in their beauty, a’light on the breezy.
That is why I am calling for owls in general to please have a fashion moment. I get that foxes are so IN right now, and I LOVE foxy things…but I think the hooters should be next.
I used to occasionally blog on another site “Notta Purse Girl” in my very “spare” time. “Spare,” not because I lack free time, but because I can tend to be lazy when I get home from work. Anyway, I am going to mosey my random shoe musings this-a way. I cannot guarantee I will blog with any regularity or that my grammar will be tolerable; I am a biologist, not an English major! But (<-already with the bad grammar) I will always be weird, funny, and at least a little entertaining. With that I begin…
As I do every morning, I was sneakily perusing the Rue La La sales at work and I noticed some inspiring sandals by Yves Saint Laurant.
Yves Saint Laurent “Tribute”
I was struck by the the simple but thoughtful design elements that composed the sandal. The way that the leather is cut and curved, reinforcing the other straps (Yes, I am aware that I am just talking about sandals) was very well executed.

It is always my belief that mindful design deserves acknowledgement, and this is a good representation of that philosophy. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a hot pink jelly sandal as much as the next girl but when someone has spent time making a design elegant (like a calculus problem, not like an evening shoe) than I am impressed. Hats off YSL.
