Yesterday my mom and I went shopping for some shoes for my confirmation - which is a week from today.

After trying on multiple pairs of shoes at Target, I was ready to give up.

Then I found THE shoes. They were so cute and matched my dress perfectly. They had tan, light pink, and black to choose from; since my dress is black and white I wanted the black shoes.

I tried on a size 7...it was a bit too small, so I tried a size 8 - too big. My heel kept on flapping out with every step I took in the bigger shoes...ha! I knew I needed a 7 1/2. To make sure, I tried on the 7 1/2 in the tan. They fit perfectly.

There was only one small problem.

There were no size 7 1/2 black shoes. Sob. My beautiful black wedges are nonexistent.

So much for finding the perfect shoes.

I'm going to try Fix It Friday...yes, I know, a day late...but better late the never, right?! :)

Here's the straight out of camera (SOOC) shot that the folks at I Heart Faces gave us to fix up.

Sereina, Callie, and Josie awarded me the Beautiful Blogger Award...thank you!

For this award, I have to list seven random facts about myself.

1. I've been locked in an outhouse. Yep. You can read about it here.

2. I know three languages - German, Latin, and of course, English.

3. My ears are lopsided. Seriously. My right one sticks out farther than the left one.

4. I don't tan. I burn. I suppose the silver lining is that I turn brown after I get sunburned, but I have to deal with the pain (and humiliation) of being red.

5. I only have two cousins. Total.

6. I love wedge heels. (I wish I could find more...when you're 5"2 like me, heels are the best!)

7. Photography is my passion. As if you didn't, ahem, already know that.

Now I have to tag fifteen people...but I have no idea how I could pick just fifteen! This is probably against the rules, but I award all of you.
