These Boots Are Made For Walking or Coveting

I have been on the lookout for a nice pair of mid calf boots for a while now.  I know what I want, but I am having a hard time finding it.  I want a bit of a heel, not too much, in a chunky heel.  I want them either to be black or brown or oxblood.  I want them to be leather, and the sole should be a nice rubber.  I want them to fit nicely and look good.  What I really want are a pair of Fluvogs with a stretched calf.

I think I want to be a Bond Girl. Can I afford to be a Bond Girl? Can I justify it?  I don’t know.  I have saved up money to go to Blogher and I still haven’t bought my conference ticket. I am still having a hard time justifying it.  I think partially because I am a parent and I have a hard time justifying anything for myself.  Plus Anthony doesn’t buy much in the way of stuff for him self.  How can I spend 350 on a pair of boots if I am even entertaining going to New York this summer for a blogging conference? *1

For the blogher conference I guess the reason I am having a hard time is not because of the conference ticket.  It is the plane ticket and the accommodation.  I really want to go, but it also means that Anthony will be by himself with the kids and need to take a day or two off, unless we hire a babysitter.

So boots, where are we walking?

*1 I would be using my beer and popcorn money.  I have no paying job at the moment.  I really need people to comment and tweet my sticky post so I can even consider getting myself some Fluvogs and feel good about going to NY. Yes, this is me begging for comments.
