The boots that got away...(but were never close anyway!)

Do you ever covet a material item to the point of ridiculousness? Where you feel sort of ashamed you love something so much that you can clearly live without? It's not even close to being a necessity, but it's a mere extravagance that pulls at your heart strings?

Well, I am sad to report that I have fallen from my reasonable graces and feel a bit heartbroken that these boots are not mine. Could I afford them? Sort of. If I wanted to be late on rent, utilities and starve for a month...which, I considered during my temporary insanity for the love of these boots.

To fuel my materialistic fashion-obsessed fire even more, the rest of Gucci's Fall 08 collection danced perfectly with the clothes I envision wearing on a weekly basis. That bohemian rhapsody of dark glamour mixed with slight gypsy flair.

I might love you if these boots showed up magically on my door step. I would bear your children if they came with the entire wardrobe that go along with it. I want to say I'm joking, but in this rare moment of insanity - I can't.
