So you may be wondering why I have an Elf on the Shelf.

Well, it’s simple, I wanted one.  ;)

Seriously though, everyone knows how much I love Christmas and this year in particular I noticed so many wonderfully fun and creative photographs of everyone’s Elf on the Shelf.

My friend Beverly probably gets the most credit though.  After seeing all of her elf’s adventures, I knew that I had to have one!

Let me introduce you to our newest Christmas addition…

As you can tell, my elf is special.  My elf, like me, comes armed with a Nikon DSLR.

I can already tell you, we are going to have sooo much fun next Christmas.  ;)

So you better watch out, an Elf that reports back to Santa is one thing…but an Elf with a fancy camera, there is no telling what will happen!  With a face like this, do you doubt me??

You knew this day would come…the day I bought another pair of Iron Fist Shoes.  :)

Let’s be honest, as long as they keep making them, I will probably keep buying them.  In fact, I do have a birthday coming up…honey, you listening?!?  :)

In case you’re counting, this makes #6!  Seriously, I did believe that I was done until Iron Fist releases the next collection….but I came across an older pair, one that isn’t in stock anymore and I HAD TO HAVE THEM!

The Nightmare of You Platforms are inspired by the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.  I grew up watching these movies.  The original and the third were my favorites.  I went to see the remake last year AND I was Miss Freddy Krueger for Halloween, so to say these shoes called my name is an understatement!  :)

The heels are chrome and the bottoms have some awesome detail:

A lovely addition to my collection, don’t ya think?!

Until next time…

I couldn’t resist…I bought 3 more pairs of Iron Fist shoes!  When I bought the first two pairs, I liked several but wasn’t sure how I would feel about them until they arrived and I could try them on.  Well, as you know I love the first two pairs, so I went back for some of the others that caught my eye.  This time I went for some of the crazier ones.  What do you think??  I think I’m good for now…well, at least until the Summer collection comes out!

…I think I can almost hear my husband’s eyes rolling.  

The Dual Platforms

Frakattack Platforms – love the stitching!

Tiki Toes Platforms – how fun is the straw on the back!  If you look closely, you can see the Tiki Man.

Even the insides of these shoes are awesome.  All of detail on the inside makes you wish you didn’t have to cover them up with your feet!

I am so far behind in my blog posts and I promise to catch up soon, but first I have to share a new personal obsession – Iron Fist shoes!

Last week, I was reading one of the many blogs I follow – Rock n Roll Bride.  She was sharing a discount code for Iron Fist shoes and showed which shoes she had purchased.  I saw these shoes and thought, “oh my goodness, I have to have those!”  She isn’t from the United States, so figured no chance, but as luck would have it, Iron Fist is in Los Angeles and sell online and in stores all around the country too!  I spent forever on the website checking out all the shoes.  Some of the shoes are over the top, but for some reason, I think they are sooo fun!  I got the Lacey Days Platforms and Sugar Witch!  I love, love, love them!  I wore the Sugar Witch ones to work yesterday and got sooo many compliments.  I was surprised because while I may think they are cute, I know not everyone will.  I may have to buy more soon, just because I think they are so fun and they are the perfect mix of funky and girly!  What do you think?!?  :)
