Good afternoon! Today I feel radically optimistic about my life which is a welcomed departure from my winter induced depression. And while it could be slight sleep deprivation or the Sorate matcha I’m sipping, who cares I’m rocking with it.
If you’re reading this, please know that many Los Angeles GoFundMe’s still need our help in the fallout of the Palisades and Eaton fires. I want to specifically highlight this one, from Kaycee Sara, cousin to the forever stylish genius
. Los Angeles has had my back. It’s time to have its.Okay, so..
Last night I had the distinct honor to walk the catwalk for
’s NeverWorns and I’m still basking in the post-show high. I was decked out, dripping in Stella for Chloé Strawberry swag, the Iconic Gap Rainbow Chunky Turtleneck knit sweater and a slinky pair of snake print Tom Ford for Gucci pants.
Electricity ran through the room and falling snow laid backdrop to Liana’s QVC banner. I even got to sashay with a red cup in tow as eager bidders thirsted for items. Yet the defining moment? This question about my red shoes.
And while I’m not a shopping newsletter, nor do I know how to use affiliate links (can one of you please teach me because I have 2k to my name), I do need to pause and Put My People On. So without further ado, the Putting of the On: The Salomon Snow Clog.
Here it is. The SSC. This shoe is functional. Durable. No stranger to Salomons, I went immediately hunting for this shoe after spotting in on a downtown darling just North of West Houston about 2 months back. The lady wore them in a beautiful rich blue. They sat so well on her foot that I gawked at her with envy.
Scouring eBay, I ran search upon search for Salomon clog. As a usual sucker for a deal I figured I could find them on resale. But the old Salomon Snow Clogs had a different, less meshy, less modern feel. The debate was settled. I would have to buy them new.
I don’t like buying new things. It’s not typically my style. I’m a thrifty long-limbed lass who just loves the art of the deal and buying something for next to nothing.
So when my mother, a long supporter of my athletic hobbies, offered to buy me new running equipment I gave her a swift yes.
Thank you to my Mom. For it is she who helped me purchase the Salomon Snow Clog. She does not need to know that they are not running shoes at all. Please do not tell her.
I have so far worn my SSCs 26 times since purchase. And according to my closet indexing app, that means they are $4.23 per wear. Delicious data.
Anyway, this was a small ode to a shoe I find so useful. I highly recommend a pair. They have wonderful traction and even helped save my ass commuting home from Liana’s epic runway last night in the Nor’easter.
And to anyone who knows anyone who works at Salomon, please do me a favor: Put Me On. Like I have to you. Invite me to your party.
Because Substack, may I remind you, it does not say RSVP on the Statue of Liberty.
Sent this to my friends currently living in snow! Which closet indexing app is a good one?
maybe this will be my first affiliate purchase...I'll think fast not hard!
