Today is a fun day and one that is seriously underrated – my half birthday! Growing up we used to celebrate half birthdays by taking a trip to our local ice cream store and I remember every year debating between the Mint Chocolate Chip and the Black Raspberry – such hard decisions! Now that I am an adult I can make trips to the ice cream store as frequently as I want but for many reasons I try and save them for special occasions and today is definitely one of them. Look out for a social media shot later as I will surely be getting ice cream but in the mean time, let’s talk about shoes, specifically these new sparkly flats.
As I mentioned during Fashion Week last month I got up to so many more things besides runway shows and one was a blogger meet up in Soho at the M. Gemi store. I get excited by just about any shoe store but mix in some fine quality leather and sparkle and I am over the moon. I tried to walk past these flats when I saw them on the shelf but the gunmetal glitter was just too appealing. I waited a full 10 minutes before asking if I could try them on in my size and just a few minutes later my credit card was being swiped because I just had to have them.

Try and tell me they are not cute, just try! In addition to these amazing sparkly flats which could not embody the name of this blog more, I wanted to share a few more shots of the M Gemi store in Soho that I took the same day I bought them last month during Fashion Week. The store put on a great evening after a few of the shows for a whole group of bloggers to get together, sip some bubbly, and check out the adorable wares. I snapped our late afternoon escapades but in case you missed them, here you go!
And no, because I know I will be asked, this is not a sponsored post I just love their shoes, had a time at this event, and felt like you really needed to see these shoes!
Have an awesome week!

As a woman who loves shoes there is no way I can walk away from those sparkle flats either. I like the open toe velvet heel and the pink fur booties too. The booties can be for next winter.
