    I know sometimes people balk at the price of havainias but i've had pairs that are over 5 years old and still going strong, whereas cheaper pairs often have to throw out after one summer.
    i only buy havianas - they last 4 times as long as $9 kmart ones

    Totally agree with that

    I have a black pair, a purple pair & an orange pair & thats all I wear in summer. The oldest ones about 6 years old

    I had to stop buying Havaianas because my dog was chewing up at least one pair a month I bought some $6 ones from Big W and they're pretty good, and at least if the dog eats them they're not too expensive to replace!!

    Shoeeeeeees... something a big girl like me can still feel special in

    I have a gorgeous pair of black PVC lace up boots (with zips up the sides) that have very cute bettie heels.

    I have some ankle boots that have gorgeous detailed leather designs and ribbon laces...

    Little patent shoes that I can't really explain other than they are lace up, come up to the ankle with cute heels.

    My high heel Mary Janes that EVERYONE loves they are just cute...

    Some very funky little small heeled 50's style lacy peep toe shoes.

    My Betty Boop Wedge Heel Flats (I know that sounds weird but it is what they are called I promise!) the irony is they cost my $30 from Target or K-Mart and everyone comments when I wear them. And they go well when I go rockerbilly.

    I also have red patent high heel mary janes that I loved but I destroyed them by not oiling them and they have cracked

    Cute seems to be a popular adjective with my shoes LOL!

    I'm a ballet flats or a thongs girl myself havianas for shizzle! And I have 1 pair of each. I'm horrible for wearing/loving a pair of shoes to death and then sulking when they die. I need to even out my wear, i think!

    I LOVE boots, but I don't think I have the legs to carry them off (eg, wearing them over jeans and such, makes me look shorter!) I did have one gorgeous pair that i forked out quite alot for, and my lovely german shepherd pup destroyed them when he was about 9 weeks old. Lucky he was cute because I would have destroyed him, too!
