Shoes & Sweets 2


I would have to say my biggest 'sweet' weakness would have to be ice cream.  Let's just say 'quite fond' of it is putting it lightly.  I just love the many choices of flavors, as well as its flexibility to compliment so many other things!  haha..ok enough.  But seriously, i do really like it and most food type things I crave are a sort of comfort for me.  So why not add to this comfort with some great looking worn in boots that could flow with about just any attire and ice cream.  I wouldn't mind one of her bags or two either!..
