Did you get a chance to read my post yesterday on aging? Well, I talked about things that keep me feeling young. Date night is one of those. So the other night we went and saw a movie. We never do that because basically it means I can’t talk for 2-3 hours and that just kills me! Ha. But we were both up for it after a long week and decided to see Gone Girl. I hadn’t read the book but wished that I had. While it was entertaining, something tells me the book might have been much better. But enough about that. Can we talk about shoes? Not your shoes, but men’s shoes. Like most hubbies, mine does not like shopping. And I think the man owns three pairs of shoes. No lie. And to be honest, he holds onto them so darn long that I have to force him to get new ones. Because he holds onto them for so long, we aim for quality over quantity. This time around I LOVE what he picked out. He found them at Nordstrom and they are awesome quality. I like the attention to detail and the red laces are super fun. And truly, besides these, he owns a pair of dress shoes and running shoes. I suppose I should be happier about that. It means I am the only one shoe shopping all the time! Not gonna lie, the second he brought these beautiful new shoes home, I tossed his old ones. Out with the old, in with the new. And because they are made well . . .the should last a few years. his shoes | her shoes {in black} | his jeans | her jeans | striped tee | similar scarf

I kinda dig him. And his new kicks. Hope you all are having a great week. I am off to decorate more of our Christmas tree for the Michael’s Dream Tree Challenge.

Such cute pics – who took them? We also watched Gone Girl on our date night last week and I loved it! My husband also hates shopping but lately he is into his shoes – on a recent business trip to the States, he bought THREE pairs of Cole Haan shoes – his favourite! x

You all are the cutest!!!! Brad has more shoes than I do…..crazy but true- he loves to shop! I big time love colored laces on men's shoes- so chic! Now for Gone Girl- I read the book – in fact I've read all three of Gillian Flynn's amazing books – she's a crazy good writer—–her mind is like – oh my gosh – crazy! We saw the movie this past weekend and while Ben did a great job, I really did not like Rosamund as Amy – her voice sounded creepy and that is not how Amy sounded in my head. 😉 I highly recommend the book ……although at this point since you've seen the movie you might not like the book because you know how horribly the story ends.

Cute pics of you two! My hubby is a big dude, so he's really hard on his shoes. Nordstrom is definitely our go to place for shoes for him (and me of course).
Thanks for the info on Gone Girl. I haven't read the book yet either but wanted to see the movie. Maybe I'll wait a bit. 🙂

Such cute pictures of you two. Love your outfit, as always. Yes, my hubby is the same way…a man of few shoes. And, he wears them forever. He hates breaking in new dress shoes! Have the book, haven't read it yet. Will most likely read then wait for the movie to come out on DVD.

Great photos of you two love birds and such a cute fall outfit Courtney. I like those shoes your husband is wearing. My husband loves to shop. Nordstrom is his favorite.

How cute are you two! Love date nights! Cool shoes with the colored laces and I think you're wearing the scarf that I've been on the hunt for 🙂
