Fashion & Beauty Pet Peeve #3

May 14, 2012

Fashion & Beauty Pet Peeve #3

Sadly after a long enough period of time, many of my heels have experienced this aging process of a heel tip loss.  Usually I don’t even notice when one is missing until I’m walking on concrete and when I do, it always happens to be when I’m out and about or at work.

This just happened to me last week at work and it reminded me that although you can buy new heel tips and easily replace them to fix the problem, that I don’t really have a solution when I’m at work.  I felt pretty embarrassed every time I walked down to the kitchen area to get hot water for my tea and people were looking at me because my one shoe was making so much noise! Oh well, what do you do I guess?  I feel like maybe I just need to get a pair of heels to store in my car permanently so I have another pair to change into in case this happens again.  Or … there is always shopping over lunch?! I like that option 😉

Happy Monday! Hope everyone has a great week and that this heel tip wardrobe malfunction doesn’t happen to you anytime soon!

    Shopping over lunch sounds like the perfect solution 🙂

    This is the worst. Honestly, I have never had it happen to me at work. I try to always have a pair of flats with me just in case it starts to rain or if I need to take a long walk across campus for some reason, so I would simply change into those.

      That’s a good idea to have a pair of flats around! I should do that for this reason and for the rain!

    I hate when that happens! I had that happen to a lot of my heels and had them all replaced.

    Ooh yes, I hate when I’m the girl making all the noise because my heel tip wore down/broke off… I have a pair of flats stashed in my desk incase of emergencies!

    This has happened to me on numerous occasions-usually at thee most inopportune times. I wish there were replacement heels that we could purchase and replace ourselves. I promise I have a bag full of shoes in my trunk that need to be re-heeled right now!

Instagram post 2190369799895329969_46050882 Happy December friends!!!!! 2019 has been flying by and I can’t believe we are in full swing holiday season! This picture is appropriate to celebrate the holiday season & the snow storm currently happening outside 🤣 I guess we couldn’t avoid it forever! ❄️❄️❄️ anyway, just want to say Happy December and looking forward to sharing lots of holiday content soon! This look is from 2015, but I’ve linked many similar items on the @liketoknow.it app! Shop this full look >>> http://liketk.it/2HJEE #liketkit #LTKholidaystyle #LTKunder100 #LTKunder50
Instagram post 2173457516695079584_46050882 [AD] The results are in, and they are RADIANT! My skin is glowing thanks to the Olay Regenerist Rentinol24 Night Moisturizer. I've been using this for the past few weeks in place of my regular nightly moisturizer and was so blown away by the immediate results. I have noticed so many differences in my skin, including my skin looking plumper, increased firmness, increased brightness, increased smoothness and reduced acne scarring. This night cream is going to be my go-to moisturizer for a LONG time. Not only do I get the great benefits of using a retinol, which by the way, I saw ZERO irritation with this product, I also get the great hydrating formula I've seen with other Olay moisturizers. If you want to learn more, check out the link in my bio -  http://spr.ly/luna-114 - and be sure to watch my most recent YouTube video where I share MORE about my experience over the past few weeks with the @olay #Retinol24 line. #Olay #beautyblogger
Instagram post 2159842770729043350_46050882 #ad You guys, I'm SO excited to introduce the new @Olay Retinol24 collection! I had an amazing time opening my SKIN-MERGENCY kit (SEE the full and hilarious experience of me "breaking" into the kit of the new products on my Instagram stories!) Over the next four weeks I will be using these three new products by replacing my daily moisturizer with the Olay Regenerist Retinol24 and using both the Retinol24 serum and eye cream at night as well. Stay tuned, as I will be sharing my FULL results with these retinol products and the benefits I see. Check out my stories for even more information on my experience with retinol so far! #Retinol24 #Olay
Instagram post 2156326599509839385_46050882 I’m a couple days late, but what else is new? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Happy Anniversary babe! @rollbieck 10.14.17 was the most amazing day and I can’t believe how much has changed/we’ve done in the past two years

We said yes to this journey called life together and I’m so excited for the new adventure we’re on. I’m so fortunate to have someone who respects me and loves me tirelessly. Who let me pursue my dreams to move to the East Coast. Who supported this crazy dream of mine to move to Boston and “figure it out as we go”... who was willing to sacrifice for me to do what I want and love. Thank you endlessly for giving me this opportunity to be selfish and pursue what I love!

Marriage is also truly in good times and bad... because we’ve had plenty of unexpected and scary things happen the past couple years... but through the worst times, we found strength in each other and our love. It’s hard to understand the why sometimes, but I’ve always had you, we’ve always had each other!
.

So thank you again for everything! This past year has been our biggest adventure yet! I can’t wait to see what we do and accomplish this next year... love you Joe ❤️❤️❤️ #anniversary #rslbwedding #OurSobieckStory #TrampelingintoSobieck

We did actually get some photos in but thought I would throw it back to this photo of @emmaminiaussie and I at one of our favorite orchards in the Minneapolis area!

Instagram post 2144622350014939974_46050882 I missed the obligatory 1st day of fall pic, so instead here’s my last day of September pic (because we all know tomorrow is way more important than the first day of fall 👻). This is a throwback to my leopard print style in 2015 but still rocking all the leopard print currently! Happy {almost} October 🎃 and happy fall! #leopardprint #fallstyle #wiw #rachelslookbook
