What is this all about? In the past years I’ve worked a little too much. Everyone has their way to recharge - my drug of choice was shopping. Shoe shopping in particular. I’ve grown a collection of shoes of all colors and shapes (and sometimes even sizes!), too large even for a centipede. Now instead of embarassingly hiding the existence of an extensive wardrobe, I decided to embrace my weakness. This blog will be about my shoes and other accessories hoping that it will stimulate me to wear them!Tumblr (3.0; @ninazavr)http://ninazavr.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6638a8ead7abb075285f056911f440bd/tumblr_mmo22w9TAd1r3hdfuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Walking past plates with all known words spoken by the tribes that lived in the Mission Bay area in San Francisco for 1000 years</span></p> <p><span>(Repetto shoes)</span></p>http://ninazavr.tumblr.com/post/50221847451http://ninazavr.tumblr.com/post/50221847451Sat, 11 May 2013 23:37:44 -0400repettosan francisco<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/cbd85474c1ff7f95ab30d095af126706/tumblr_mlycnmO36K1r3hdfuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Two homeless gentlemen in different areas of San Francisco have already commented on these shoes  - both really liked them.
