Ooohhh BABY!!! December is here!!!
Christmas, pretty gifts, lights, ornaments, food,
family, friends, last month of the year... Paaarrrtttaaayyyy!!! Can you tell I’m excited?! XD
Anyway before I go on and on and on and on…on…on…on… I’m
going to share with you a little event of last month.
A few weeks ago I attended along with Tiffany from Confessions of this shopaholic
and Omaily from Shades of
sexy little things the Nelly High Heels event.
Who’s Nelly? Well…
“Nelly.com
is an e-commerce website that started its business in Sweden in 2004. We focus
on fashion and beauty and have over 600 different brands in our collection which
mostly caters for men and women between 18 and 35.
The
Nelly.com vision is to provide an appealing selection of fashion and beauty
products for all those fashion conscious women and men across Europe.”
So this ‘little’ fashion webshop just started here in Holland
and as their way to introduce themselves they held these ‘little’ events *which they have been holding in all other
countries* in 5 different cities; Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Groningen
& Eindhoven.
*And
BTW, you know I’m being sarcastic with ‘little’, don’t you?!*
Unfortunately I didn’t know soon enough about it to go
to the one in Amsterdam, so instead we went to the one in Utrecht.
And the horror comes…
We waited almost 3 freaking hours in the freezing weather
before the event started. Believe me, it was so cold that I’m sure if we stood
just a little longer in that coldness, my toes would have fall off!
Okay so now I’m sure you’re asking “Why did these
girls do this? Are they crazy or just plain foolish?” Well, I have just 2 simple words for you…
FREE SHOES!!!
Yep, that’s what the whole Nelly High Heels event is
about. The first 150 lucky ladies at each event get the chance to choose their
own pair of ‘Nelly Shoes’.
And wait, it gets better…
The first 100 even luckier girls get a precious Nelly
Goodie bag to go along with their free shoes.
Let me just say it was worth the 3 hours freezing,
cuz who doesn’t like free shoes?!
Anyway so when we finally got to get in the club, we
got a little form to fill in which shoe we want and also the goodiebag coupon.
So there we were, standing in a club with quite some
shoes and also more women with their “ooh’s” and “ahh’s” for shoes. Well for
me, I wasn’t that impressed!
The shoes were like ‘mweh’, there’s hasn’t been even
one pair of heels that made me ‘squeak’! So to ease out the disappointment I filmed
a little here and there to share it with you gals. Here’s the video…
So, yeah. As shoe-a-holic not being impressed at a
get-a-free-pair-of-shoes event is not quite good. Let me explain to you why I wasn’t
that impressed. Okay, so for me as these shoes I was getting were free, I was
looking for the super hot kind of shoes. The kind that may look awesome at my
feet and that I can brag a little *ahum…don’t
judge, you would do it too* about them that I got them for free! And the
thing is they did have some of those kinds of shoes, but not my style. They were
more the edgy or not that edgy or even duller kind of shoes.
So there I was again…standing…and no choice. And I needed
to make a decision though, because still…Free Shoes!
I finally managed to pick the 3 pairs that I mostly liked, tweeted them and
made a decision.
And either way, we had to choose three just in case if
they don’t have numero 1, they can send you numero 2 or 3. BTW, we didn't get them right away, they're being send in the next 1-2 months.
My first choice was a little shoe called ‘Forget your
BF’; A black plateau pump with spikes and studs on the heel. Whatcha think?!

Now I want to know, would you stand in line for free
shoes? Or for any good free item? Even if it’s freezing?
Kiss, Kiss & Love
