(What?! You don't make a shopping list for clothing like you do for groceries? What's wrong with you people?)
1. Metallic Flats. Ok, metallic flats are pretty much everywhere right now, (like this adorable $250 Stuart Weitzman pair--and no, I never spend that much on one pair of shoes.) My problem is that I can't wear flats. Period. I have to have at least a 1 inch kitten heel or else I get charlie horses and foot cramps like crazy. I'm not sure if it's because I've been wearing heels for so long or the height of my foot arch. It's doesn't really matter...all that matters is that kitten heels are no where to be found this year and my casual wardrobe is suffering for it.
2. The perfect black turtleneck sweater....and brown....and cream. I LOVE turtlenecks!!! I usually have to get a new arsenal of them each winter because the ones from the previous year get all nublley and pilly from frequent use. I have seen a lot of the short sleeve variety, which I also love, but not the regular long sleeved kind. Maybe they will just take a couple more weeks for these to hit the stores.
3. The perfect gold eyeshadow. My all-time fav gold eyeshadow was in a little pot from Walgreen's made by Loreal. Of course, a little gold eye shadow goes a long way, so the little container lasted years. I finally ran out of it and went to the store only to find that it had been discontinued. I bought a shadow from Bare Escentuals, (where I get the rest of my makeup) but it is a little too Studio 54ish for me. Too much glitter rather than the burnished look that I like.
4. Brown Pumps. I like a extra details on my shoes like the cute leather strap and heel on this Stuart Weitzman pair. I have a very cute pair similar to these, (more along the lines of $75 from DSW, mind you) but they are also peep toe. I LOVE peep toes, but I'm needing a pair that I can wear with brown tights and skirts as well as pants in the sloppy St. Louis winters.
Guess I'll just have to suffer through a little more time at the mall. Poor me!

Yes, look at Nars for gold eyeshadows! I LOVE "cosmic," but it might be too suble for what you're looking for.
The item I want but can't find is a nude, patent, high-heeled pair of pumps. Should be easy, right? I just can't find the right pair.
Check out MAC for the eye shadow. I have a couple of their golds. Gorgeous Gold and Gold Mine both come to mind, but Gold Mine may be too bold for what you're going for.
Let me know if you find the turtlenecks and thos shoes...I'm having trouble with both of those, too!
Have you ever tried an arch support in a pair of flats? I have high arches and wearing flats all day kills my feet as well - I get the same kinda cramps you do. But I can usually stick an arch support in the shoes and it makes a world of difference!
Sometimes I get cramps when I wear flats, too... And I also make lists of clothes I want. :)
