Last Thursday I was invited to the pre-opening of the Little Burgundy store at Market Mall in Calgary. I begged and pleaded (yea right) my best friend Nat to come along with me, which proved not to be so difficult after all as the company gave me with a coupon for any pair of shoes in the store FOR FREE and 50% off any pair for a guest. (Did you hear me? I said free shoes!)
Armed with our coupons we hit up the store and had an absolutely fabulous time! We were greeted by Laura, who was excited to meet me and knew all about the Fiveblondes blog. It was so exciting to meet a reader! (Hi Laura!) The store looked amazing, they sell everything from funky high top Puma sneakers, to classy Marc by Marc Jacobs heels, to casual Blowfish ballet flats. There is seriously something for everything in this store. Including something for me! So Natalie and I set on our journey to find something that was perfect and so very “Leah.”
After trying on many amazing shoes, snacking on Crave cupcakes, vitamin water, Red Bull and gummy bears and having a blast hanging out with all of the other bloggers and online writers, I narrowed it down to these pairs:
Pictured: Campbells studded heels, Frye cowboy boots, Modern Vintage booties.
I absolutely adored the studded heels, and even did an impromptu model shoot with them because they were so popular. This made Natalie laugh, because truthfully? I have really, really ugly feet.
I decided upon the Frye cowboy boots, because they made me feel like a million bucks and were so incredibly comfortable on my feet.And $500 boots for free? You’d have to be crazy to pass up a deal like that.
Nat used her 50% off coupon to buy a new pair of Uggs, and overall we had a great time at Little Burgundy, the staff were so kind and friendly and the shoes at the store were uh-mazing. Thank you Little Burgundy! I’ll be back for sure.
We decided to make a night of it to break in my new boots but that’s a whole other story altogether …
Love them! You are a lucky duck.

Love the boots!! excellent choice Leah, and Nat, with the Uggs!!! Uggs are my favorite thing in the world!
So I was about 125% excited after getting the boots, but over a week the novelty has worn off a bit. Reading this blog post made me REALLYEXCITED again!
Good choice on the boots, Leah. You won’t regret those!

I would have gone for the boots too! I’ve been wanting a pair forever and they look so cute on you.
Those boots are awesome! Great choice!
You should have gone for the Hunters! Jealouss, they need to send some love Ottawa way!

They look great on you Lee! Thanks for the phone call last night!
What a lovely coincidence that your new boots perfectly matched the belt you had chosen to wear that day. You are too fashionable for yoru own good!
@Micaela – Thanks girl!
@Lara – Oh Natalie is in with the Uggs, she wore her last pair right out!
@Kaitlin – Thanks Kaiti!!
@Natalie – Thanks for being a good friend and shopping partner. And for rightfully laughing at my ugly feet modeling the shoes!
@Miss Pickle – A fellow Calgarian? Fancy meeting you here! The store is in Market Mall and they have adorable jewelry too!

@Ella – Thank you!
@Lauren – Of course I immediately thought of you when I saw them

I have to add that I laughed at your feet being models too. I would think they are the only part of you that definitely should not get into modelling!
.-= Micaela´s last blog ..Little Burgundy =-.
Great pics, Leah. Especially, the last one with the leather boots. Very classy, indeed. I don’t know how often you come to Toronto but I for one, would sure love to meet you in person. And oh yeah, keep up the great work with the blogs…
No way. You are so lying! There is no way you have ugly feet because you are just so damn beautiful! And LOVE the boots!! I’m definitely jealous!
