Before we head into my ode of I FEEL SEXY! love to the Cellini shoes—I need to stop & wish the Husband a happy birthday.
Actually, it’s less stopping before we start and more oooh Im so excited to show him Ive gots my sexy back —but Im getting ahead of myself.
We’ve chatted about how the child and I ran off for some alone time.
We’ve established Ive not been my usual up-like-a-puppy! self.
As a result, we’ve circuitously established the poor husband hath been neglected recently.
(although we did go OVER THE TOP with his birthday gift so there’s that. Keep an eye on Instagram for details.)
But Im getting ahead of myself.
Again.
To know me is to know I have a close personal relationship with my UPS man (translation: he thinks Im insane. yes. I mean the new OAKtown one, too.).
The other day he dropped by toting a box from TSUBO.
I was aware the box contained Cellini wedges as Id chosen them to review 100% because the Tornado adores (fingerquote) fancy (unFQ) shoes.
She loves nothing more than my wearing heels as then, by her definition, I appear more ‘princess like’ (hold me).
She immediately ripped open the box & yanked the shoes from their cardboard home.
We were both smitten & speechless.
They were fancier than she’d anticipated (I think she’d expected sneakers?) and even more stylin’ than Id thought from the catalog photo.
We stared at them for a while.
It was, in fact, the Tornado who broke the silence with a clear and loud:
MAMA CAN I TRY THEM ON?
I let her try them first. I rock that way. And then I yanked them off *her* and placed them gently on my feet.
And fell in love.
They were comfy.
They were easy for this awkward woman to walk in.
The Cellini shoes–paired with cheap ass old navy brand skinny jeans fancy denim–immediately changed how I carried myself.
At the child’s request I wore the Cellinis the rest of the afternoon.
I wore them during homework-time.
I wore them while I made dinner.
I wore them while I blogged.
I did, however, remove them *before* the Husband came home and hid them in my closet
Way in the back where normally only the Crocs and Dr Scholls (remember them?) reside.
Im yanking them out tonight in honor of his birthday.
I shall thank you from him in advance for bringing my fancy—and sexy—back.
Sometimes. Many times. A shoe is far far more than merely a covering for the feet.
These wedges are definitely that.
Ive gots my sexy back.
FTC? The shoes were sent to me for review. No compensation was paid for this post and the opinions/awkward SEXXXY overshares are all my own.
Erica { EricaDHouse.com } says
April 11, 2013 at 5:56 amI gave up on trying to find cute shoes that were also comfortable years ago – it just seemed I always had to chose one or the other. Will look out for Cellini’s to try sometime!
lindsay says
April 11, 2013 at 5:57 amyou are MIZ, you can pull those off and then some. Sexy indeed!
p.s.
I’d break my neck just trying them on
Kerri (@KerriOlkjer) says
April 11, 2013 at 6:06 am1. HOT shoes.
2. You write the best FTC Disclaimers.
3. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Tsubo, lol.
Jenn @comebackmomma says
April 11, 2013 at 6:20 amSuper stylish. I wonder if I could wear a wedge that high. Love them on you! Love your FTC comments too.
Kelli says
April 11, 2013 at 7:28 amOMG LOVE THEM.
And how you bring us in with the story and disclaimer 🙂
Sarah says
April 11, 2013 at 6:34 amThat particular show isn’t *me*, but I love that you love them. I have a pair of Tsubo boots and they’re amazing. They are a little more expensive than I normally would have spent, but they’ve lasted me through 3 winters now (and going strong), and they are SO COMFORTABLE.
MIZ says
April 11, 2013 at 7:29 amOH I SOOO WANT BOOTS NOW TOO! 🙂
Barbara says
April 11, 2013 at 6:38 amSuper cool. Running to check out their site because I think I might could actually possibly…..be able to walk in those without falling.
Runner Girl says
April 11, 2013 at 6:45 amOH.
I have nothing like these and I need my sexy!!
Sally says
April 11, 2013 at 6:46 amMiz, you tell the best stories.
Now I want the shoe and I’m a flip flop woman 🙂
Jamie @ Rise.Run.Mom.Repeat. says
April 11, 2013 at 6:55 amWow. Those are hot. Have fun! 😉
Lindsay @ The Lean Green Bean says
April 11, 2013 at 6:57 amwedges are one kind of shoe i can never buy. i’m almost guaranteed to fall and break an ankle! just haven’t mastered walking in them
Izzy says
April 11, 2013 at 6:59 amLOVE!
I don’t do heels because they kill my feet, but wedges? Hell yes!!
Kat says
April 11, 2013 at 7:00 amCUTE! I love that we’re [almost] shoe size twins…can I borrow them? lol
Shalanda says
April 11, 2013 at 7:07 amExcellent post.
Linz @ Itz Linz says
April 11, 2013 at 7:09 amok those look super cute! i need to investigate because as a teacher, i’m on my feet all day, but love wearing wedges (no heels for me!) so i need to check these babies out!
Betsy says
April 11, 2013 at 7:11 amVery cute! Have fun with them!
Carissa @Fit2flex says
April 11, 2013 at 7:18 amGet that sexy back! I read a post from a friend going through the loss of her husband and she said that on days she feels really down she makes sure to dress very nice. That lifts her spirits. Further proof that the right pair of shoes really can change everything!
Kim says
April 11, 2013 at 7:19 amI am in love with those shoes!!! Sexy for sure!!
I’m sure your husband will love them, too!!! (hope he has a great birthday)
Now, I need to go check out the site – I always need more sexy shoes here!!
STEPHANIE LAMBERT says
April 11, 2013 at 7:27 amMomma, you are bringing sexy back, and Dad won’t know what hit him when you bust them out on his b-day. They look so comfy, just what I need for a long day at work. Tell tornado and Dad hello, and Dad happy birthday from Atown.
Olive says
April 11, 2013 at 7:30 amMother’s Day is coming.
(clicks through)
Heather (Where's the Beach) says
April 11, 2013 at 7:30 amI.Love.Shoes. As silly as it might sound, they can make you feel a certain way, carry yourself differently. I’m really short so I love heels to make me feel taller. Then you have your workout shoes that can make you feel like a sexy badass. Even flipflops have their place! And happy birthday to the hubby!
JavaChick says
April 11, 2013 at 7:31 amLove the shoes! Now I kinda want a pair myself…:)
Jody - Fit at 55 says
April 11, 2013 at 7:43 amAre they wide???? Will I finally be able to wear real shoe again? I love that you said they were super comfy cause the soles/heels did not look like they would be/
I love you bring back the sexy. I am sure my hubby wished I did too! 😉
HAPPY BDAY RENMAN!!!!
mimi says
April 11, 2013 at 8:00 amMany happy returns of the day to the Ren Man! Hope you all have a great time celebrating.
Erica says
April 11, 2013 at 8:16 amHow fun are these?Glad they provided you with a much needed pick you up! Again, Happy birthday ren man!
misszippy1 says
April 11, 2013 at 8:31 amThat is an awesome looking shoe! Alas, since giving in to natural running and living in my bare feet, my body’s tolerance for all shoes sexy and cool is gone!
Geosomin says
April 11, 2013 at 8:44 amThose are so nice they are noice
Tamara says
April 11, 2013 at 8:50 amYou know that I totally get the shoe thing! Amazing how the right pair can make you feel oh-so-feminine. Hope RenMan enjoys them as much as you! xo
Christine @ Love, Life, Surf says
April 11, 2013 at 9:11 amThose are super cute! I don’t know when it happened but I gave up on wearing “nice” shoes a while back. Maybe it’s when I started working from home? Happy Birthday RenMan!!!
nicole @ Making Good Choices says
April 11, 2013 at 9:36 amthis post made me smile. thank you for that! happy birthday to your husband!
meghan @ little girl in the big world says
April 11, 2013 at 11:30 amI love when it works out that cute shoes are also comfy. I love wedges so much! That’s so cute that your daughter loves “fancy” shoes. 😀
cami@healthyfoodnewsletter says
April 11, 2013 at 11:59 amThese are so cute and they look SO comfortable! I love wedges and these are just so stylish!
Sam says
April 11, 2013 at 12:15 pmThose are ADORABLE! I have a white collar jacket that would go perfect with them 😀
*Scours the internet for shoes before husband gets home*
Morgan@Balanced Daily says
April 11, 2013 at 12:55 pmHeels always boost your mood and self-esteem (and ass)! There’s nothing I love more than strutting around in a new pair of heels, I just bought some new wedges from Dolce Vita and they are surprisingly super comfy for their 5.5 inch height, as a result I’m delighted and invigorated! Enjoy your new shoes 🙂
Sarah says
April 11, 2013 at 12:56 pmYou write the best reviews.
So funny and fun.
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
April 11, 2013 at 1:55 pmSo I am NOT a high heel girl… these are cute but I refer to shoes like these as dinner shoes. I can only walk in them long enough to get in a restaurant and sit down. LOL!
Marcia says
April 11, 2013 at 2:57 pmDang! Those are super sexy! And spring-like too!
GiGi Eats Celebrities says
April 11, 2013 at 5:12 pmI LOVE HEELS that are SECURE ON MY FEET!!! They’re sooo much easier to run 10 miles in! 😉
Debbie says
April 11, 2013 at 5:38 pmI am not a shoe person. I usually am either barefoot, in running shoes, or flip flops, but I seriously adore those shoes.
Enjoy the birthday celebration 😉
Lisa @ RunWiki says
April 11, 2013 at 8:37 pmThey’re very sexy! love them, I can’t walk in hells I mean heels anymore.
Serena says
April 11, 2013 at 10:41 pmAwesome shoes! Love them. It was nice of you to let the tornado try them first – that’s willpower! The leather really does look comfy. I’m going to check them out even though they look a littlte high for me. Thanks for an entertaining post.
Naoemi says
April 11, 2013 at 11:50 pmOMG! Love it so much, looks very comfortable and it suits very well on your feet!! I’ve been looking for comfy shoes but I haven’t really find anything yet, maybe I should check out Cellinis! Thanks for sharing.:)
Abigail says
April 12, 2013 at 12:25 amThat’s a fabulous, sexy footwear 🙂 nice! It will look good on casual and semi-formal attire. I like it too.
Jenna says
April 12, 2013 at 3:04 amI am not normally a heel’s person, but I am going to give these a try – they look really cool and sexy.
amy says
April 12, 2013 at 5:25 amLOVE the ahoes. I have never heard of this shoe line and apparently no one in Ohio has either since the closets store that carries them is in Canada. LOL
Cost is a little high but, oh my, sexy wearable shoes with my cheap ass Old Navy skinnies..
amy says
April 12, 2013 at 5:26 amI meant shoes….
never type without glasses on.
Roz@weightingfor50 says
April 12, 2013 at 9:28 amSMO-KIN HOT!!!!!!! I do have to disagree a little… sorry in advance to Justin Timberlake, “you’re bringin’ sexy back – yeah” but I don’t think it was ever gone in the first place! 🙂
Have a great Friday you wedge wearing goddess!! 🙂 And happy birthday to Ren man!!!
E says
April 12, 2013 at 11:13 amHA! Your disclosure is classic.
And I too, am super awkward in heels. Husband really likes me in them, though. Probably because he’s 6’5, and I’m 5’6. It gets us a little closer when I’m in heels… though I’ll never wear foot tall heels, so I’ll never be his height 😉
So these are comfy? Even for those of us who wear flip-flops and sneakers 99% of the time?
Hope your husband enjoyed them, too!
Eve says
April 12, 2013 at 1:54 pmOh, I absolutely love those shoes. A little concerned with that type of heel. For me, the narrow bottom is a little tippy, but they’re soooo sexy I’ll just get over it.
Kristina Walters says
April 13, 2013 at 7:16 pmI love shoes and those look so cool!
Tammy Lee says
April 14, 2013 at 6:51 pmWow, those are really cute. They don’t look very comfortable but different and sexy. Thanks for sharing.
Mary Slagel@fitness Kings says
April 15, 2013 at 10:37 amThose look like the most comfortable wedges I have ever seen. I absolutely adore them! Lucky you! I use to love trying on my grandma’s “fancy” shoes when I was little. I loved the sound of the clicking on the tiles of her foyer. To this day I still love this sound but I get a little self conscious of it when it is dead silent and I feel like my heels are as loud as a fire alarm. For this reason, I actually prefer wedges. I feel more stable in them and they are always more comfortable. Plus, there is a much higher guarantee that you can walk across bricks and not face plant. Nothing like getting your heel stuck, eh?
jennie says
April 16, 2013 at 7:36 amWhat can make your husband more happy on his birthday than to see his wife in new heels… I would say nothing.. Nice way to combine the two into one post.
Jasmine says
April 16, 2013 at 10:25 amComfy AND sexy?!
Whoah!
You had me at ‘got your sexy back’ and now I am off to check out these new ‘fancy’ shoes.
Oh how I loves me some fancy, sexy and maybe even comfy shoes!!!
Julia says
April 17, 2013 at 1:48 amI love wedges and these look really comfortable as well as being sexy. They could also be worn on a lot of different occasions and look great.Great post.
Jenny says
April 17, 2013 at 8:57 amI just love those heels Awesome.
Cat Hanson says

Brittany @ Delights and Delectables says
April 21, 2013 at 10:33 amHappy Birthday to your hubby indeed!! Those are some sexy shoes. I wouldn’t be able to walk in them!
Wedges online says
April 25, 2013 at 10:14 pmFirst of all, loving all the shoes selection! I think clashing is more fun that matching, so clash it all, I say!
