What was I thinking

I’m really new to the services a shoe repairman offers as I’ve never really used them. I didn’t realize their power until I decided to sell these beautiful Nine West platforms I own. Aren’t they awesome? You could imagine how heart wrenching the decision to sell them was. They were just too damn tight in the toe area. I have a high tolerance for pain and I couldn’t fight through wearing them. Brand freaking new, I had worn them twice. TWICE!!! I was so disappointed. Thank god for MJ. He asked me why I was selling those beautiful heels. This statement was like salt on the wounds. When MJ likes something, I know without a doubt that it’s hot. Hot as term has forever been tainted because of that damn Paris Hilton. It’s such an accurate description. Damn Paris Hilton and those shoes, they were slipping through my fingers. I was getting angry again when MJ says, “Are they too short or is it just tight in the toe area? You can get them stretched …

Fall Winter 2006 shoes from Maloles I featured Maloles shoes before and I just discovered their fall line up. I love the asymmetrical opening on these boots. I bet they sit nicely against the leg and look great with skirts. I’ve seen a lot of these box toe ballerina flats, I love them. These ones look like they have a little face.

I’m out of the patent club

I recently blogged about buying these great patent shoes. For those who haven’t read the comments, the damn things broke on me after I wore them for the first time. I took them back to Town Shoes and I thought I would get an immediate refund/exchange. This was clearly a manufacturer’s defect and I have a right to a new pair of shoes. Well, I was told that they would have to go to repair first and then they would see if they could fix them. These shoes couldn’t be repaired, I could tell. I was told it was policy and didn’t’ really push the issue. They would go to repair and I wouldn’t have to pay. I was told it would take a week and they would call. Thursday was a week and I had no call. So I decided to give them a call and find out what the hell was going on. They found the shoes in the store and they were still broken. I was prepared to give them hell about …

Ask a geek

I’m starting to see an increase in people contacting me through the contact form. YAY! I had a reader ask me a question the other day and I’ve decided to answer it on the blog so everyone can benefit. If you have a question, please feel free to submit it using the contact form. I’ll definitely do my best to answer it. Ace Graystone wrote: Hi Geekigirl, A very attractive, athletic, and stylish woman recently agreed to play squash me. My problem is that I haven’t played squash since the late ’80s. Back then, real men wore either a white T-shirt with short shorts a la Magnum P.I. (I never had the legs for that) or loose gray cotton sweat pants. It’s not so much that I want to impress this woman with my chiseled six-pack and bursting deltoids. It’s more like not wanting to embarrass either one us on the court with a major fashion faux pas. So my question is what does a modern 21st century male squash player wear on the court …

i got…

So I bit the bullet and got myself some patent shoes. I spent a lot of time looking at what was out there before I settled on Bea by O Oscar an Oscar de la Renta They have a little bit of a platform and they aren’t sky high like the styles that are out there. My favourite part is that they have a rounded toe. I picked these up at Town Shoes in Toronto and Zappos.com online. Now I need a black patent handbag to match. 🙂

i really wanted to like you

It’s always disheartening to find out something you loved is poorly made crap. Enter Faryl Robin. I have always loved their shoes. They were very cute and funky. Different than the rest I always thought about buying some. I did just that during the summer. The first pair I owned were awesome, strappy wedge sandal with lots of colour. The straps along the toe were held together with coloured thread, red and yellow. I wore them a day and a half, and the string unravelled, making the shoe unwearable. I had to go to Aldo and buy a pair of shoes to continue the day with. It was quite the piss off. Thankfully, the lovely women at Shoon took the shoes back and allowed me to choose another. It was obviously a manufacture’s defect. Unfortunately, the shoes were sold out so I chose another pair.

A bag by Renee Davide I love the shape and minimal nature of this tote. The colour is amazing and I love the white thread detail. A red bag is classic and paired with some red shoes, love that. I have a perfect pair of boots to go with this bag, sigh

Pedro García Shoes I’ve been looking for a great black flat shoe. Something I can wear to work with a suit and perhaps even with a skirt. I don’t want a ballerina flat, I have those. I’m not looking for a deck shoe either, there are lots of them around. Some of the flat shoes I see are just horrendous like these two. However I struck the mother load last night when I saw this shoe. Perfection, exactly what I’m looking for. Of course these are way out of my price range. Pedro Garcia has some other great shoes also.
