Save the Date: Philly Shoe Fairy Turns 1!

Save the date!

Sunday, May 6, 9:00-11:00 AM

I know Monday's not a regular post day, but I had to let you all know about Philly Shoe Fairy's first birthday party!  That's right, the blog turns one year old on May 3, and in honor of the occasion the DSW (a.k.a. the Mothership) in King of Prussia has generously agreed to open early just for Philly Shoe Fairy readers on Sunday, May 6!  That's right: we're going to have two whole hours in the KoP DSW of private shopping time just for us, so we can run around and try on shoes and no one will look at us weirdly when we squeal for joy.  (In fact, I'm pretty sure everyone'll be squealing right along with you.)

Not to mention there will be prizes!  Shirts, totes, other shoe goodies... and the best part: one attendee will win a $25 gift card to DSW!  What is happier than free shoes?  And since it's the morning (9:00-11:00 AM) I will bring muffins so we can keep our energy up while we shop!  Mmm, muffins.

So write it in your calendars and let me know if you're planning on coming (the number of attendees will determine how many raffle prizes I pick up and how many muffins I make).  Bring your friends, bring your family, bring your neighbors-- anyone who loves shoes!


Church-going/choir-singing readers: this is what Saturday evening vigils were made for!

After-party information: Let's not stop the fun after the party!  Pull on your new shoes and come with me to the Sly Fox Bockfest in Phoenixville for German food, one of the largest selection of bock-style beers in the US, and... er... goat races.  Yes, goat races!

A special thanks to Nancy at DSW, who is helping us do this.  I  met with her Friday, and she's just as excited as we are!  Of course, though, while I was there I had to look around, and I couldn't leave without picking up a new pair of shoes:

The Yasmine by Franco Sarto  is so classic!  Bone and black, punch detailing, a little bow on the peep-toe... and a three-inch heel with a .75-inch platform makes it very comfortable to walk in.  Also available in bone and tan; find them online at DSW for $60, or take a look in your local DSW's clearance section and pick them up for $36 like I did!
