Out of the depths of frigid winter comes a ray of
hope: Girl Scout Cookies! Is there
anything happier than the first time you see a troop of small girls yelling “GIRL
SCOUT COOKIES!!!” at you in Market East on your way home from work? If there is, I don’t know it. And everyone’s got their favorite—you could
spend an hour arguing about the merits of Mango Crèmes versus Thank You Berry Munch, but most people go
for the classics. Like Thin Mints:
Black and green: just like the interplay between
chocolate and mint! And even better: Poetic License named it the Sweet Ending, which is so Thin Mint
appropriate! It has a contrast lace
outer, tied at the front with a minty green ribbon, and finished with a brown
basket-weave 3.25-inch heel. Also
available in gray and eggplant; your choice for between $53 and $98 on Amazon.
Or the coconut and caramel goodness of Caramel
deLites:
The Marloww
by Madden Girl remind me of the skinny flakes of coconut and the swirly
drizzles of chocolate that make this cookie so tasty. And look at all the gold studs! Fancy.
They have a half-inch heel and a zipper up the back to let you in. Also available in black with silver studs or
gold fabric with gold studs; take your pick for $40 on Zappos.
Or my new favorite: Lemonades!
The Mexa by
Type Z is so yellowy and springy!
And I like how the satin ruffle around the heel is vaguely reminiscent
of lemony frosting being poured on the back of a cookie. (What?
That’s just me?) The body of the
round toe shoe is satin as well, but the 5.25-inch heel and 1.25-inch platform
are in shiny yellow patent leather. Also
available in black, champagne, a fiery orange, purple, and a really sweet pink—the
colors run between $27 and $49 and can be found at 6pm.
Whichever is your favorite, go buy some cookies
and help the Girl Scouts. Everyone
wins! Get them before they’re gone!
With this,

becomes our very first Lieutenant
Shoe Fairy! Congratulations Maria! I salute you.
