Glitter Thursdays

Let it be known far and wide that I am not a fan of Thursdays. People treat Thursdays like the weekend is just around the corner and drop casual pleasantries to eachother like, "Hey, it's Thursday- on the downslope, huh? Yeah!" or "Thirstay Thursdayyyyy!" But they're completely wrong. We have 2 more days, people! Not to mention, my days of Thirsty Thursdays have, for the most part, turned into me weighing the delicious thought of a few margs with friends against the idea of having to get up early on Friday... womp, responsibility. Even my favorite stores like the J-crew outlet act like it's basically the weekend, sending me taunting e-mails telling me to buy things that I can't even buy until the store opens on Saturday!!! Sorry, J-crew factory outlet, 2 days of waiting is just enough time for me to talk myself out of buying this necklace... maybe....errgh, it would look smashing with many different outfits...

The only thing that Thurday signifies to me is that I still have 2 more days of waking up early, 2 more days until I can become comatose in front of some sort of Bravo marathon, and 2 more days of traffic... don't even get me started on the traffic. Thus, it's time to give my Thursday blues the boot via my favorite embodiment of pure happiness: GLITTER!!! Glitter is all that is right with the world. Whenever I'm thrust into a situation involving glitter, my thoughts instantly shift off of anything negative. I mean it's kind of hard to be a pessimist when all you can focus on is finding elmers glue and an available surface you can smear the stuff on then glitter-ify within an inch of it's life.

SO- I present to you 'Glitter Thursdays'. Every Thursday I shall find a new sparkly item that extends it's lustrous hand and lifts me of out my not-done-with-the-workweek rut, to share with my many readers.

So let's start 'er off right. This weeks feature is perhaps the greatest item that's ever been engulfed in glitz: My Steve Madden Glitter Pumps


I got these babies last Christmas and have, truthfully, only had 1 occasion to wear them on. But if you include the many hours of playing dress-up alone in my room, then you can consider these puppies more than worth the investment. Also, you don't even need to wear them to have fun. You can just hold them up to your light and watch it dance off the millions of multi-colored sparkles.

Another perk of these shoes is that, if you don't receive them as a gift like me, then you can spend minimal amounts to have your very own pair. The interwebs is full of glitter heel DIYs like this one, as well etsy shops that'll pimp out your shoes for you at a fraction of the Steve Madden price.

Now, cue the harps, if anyone's looking to provide me with a glitter heel upgrade for say Christmas 2011, look no further than right here. Siiigh.
