So although I have been complaining about the stupid concept of Sevilla (and really anyplace outside the US) having Black Friday sales, this time I got to take advantage of this bizarre imported custom. Of course, since this has nothing to do with Thanksgiving, we have Black Friday Week here (duh) so I was able to find these Camper boots I almost bought last month on sale (20% off!).

The two Campers I bought two years ago are now showing their age. I mean, I like them so much I was almost going to just buy the same ones again, but then saw these boots, which are just slightly different from my comfy black shoes.

Then I saw that I could also replace my red ones with either of these two, which are also a bit different. But I can’t decide which ones I like better. Help?

Happy Andalucía Day!

It’s also the first day wearing sandals this year, and a record-breaker. Previously the earliest day recorded was on March 9, 2015. In fact, it’s been warm enough for sandals (at least during the day) since last weekend, but I only now got around to doing a quick pedi. My toes already feel happier.  🙂

I do love Skechers, ever since I bought my first pair of Go Walks in Málaga back in 2013. I’ve actually rebought that same style a couple of times since, and more recently bought these ones online, but as I couldn’t try them on first (obviously) they ended up not the best fit. Then today I was walking home past the Skechers store and saw these fun bling ones were on sale half price. And well, they are awfully cute, more shimmery than glitzy, and they fit! So hello new shoes!

Forget global warming! Sevilla is undergoing The Great Polar Freeze, which basically happened overnight. One day I was happily wearing my sandals (with a light jacket in the evening) and SUDDENLY it was so cold, well, THIS happened.

Checking back this is a full TWO WEEKS earlier than in 2017, ten days earlier than in 2016, and in 2015 it didn’t happen until bloody November 18th! I’m so sad about this. Especially because it was no fun stuffing my still bruised and swollen sprained toes into a pair of shoes last night. But the only other option would’ve been wearing tights with sandals, and well, no.

my first pedi!

So it was almost two months ago that I talked about getting a professional pedicure, but then I bought the foot sander gizmo and thought that would be good enough. Also, I wasn’t sure where to go. Then yesterday evening I was out for a walk and remembered that when Elaine was here last year she mentioned having had a wonderful pedi at El Corte Inglés. So I headed over there and as luck would have it, there was one spare appointment open. And it was great.

Gotta admit that with the foot sander I am taking better care of my heels, but cuticles, etc were still a mess. Not a problem! They use an eensy little sander on those (and it didn’t hurt a bit Ann!). The best part was the massage before putting on about a centimetre thick whack of nail stuff. She even painted on fake toenails on my baby toes (which basically have no nails) which I thought was a nice touch. I could see myself getting a bit addicted to pedis, but they’re a bit expensive, so I might wait and have just one more late summer, since I wear sandals until the end of October here. Also… new sandals!
