tumblr and pinterest: my simultaneous death and salvation

so, along with the rest of the world (although I know I'm a little late to the party), I've become addicted to two lifestyle/design/all-things-pretty social sites: tumblr and pinterest. when I say "addicted," I only mean that I check them each, daily, multiple times a day. and more often than not, I come across some ah-MAZE-ing shoes that I have to have.

and at once, the best and worst part is this: most of the time, I have no idea where said shoes come from! where I might buy them! how much they cost! and it's great!

if I click back through many, many links, I can usually find the source. but how lovely to just put that from my mind because, let's face it, I'd be one broke you-know-what if I was purchasing EVERY pair of shoes that I wanted from here.

so really, it's the best of both worlds: I can look and drool and swoon and die just a little bit each time, then hit command W and be done with it. yay!

take the beauties above, for instance. ohmygah. those delicate buckles? the lace and platforms? gwah-juss. and whatcha wanna bet they cost like $2 bazillion? but they're sure pretty to look at, so please –  stare ad nauseam until command W orders you elsewhere.
