Mad About Madden Week: Steve Madden -Empiire, Cognac

Buongiorno a tutti!  The word of the day, fellow Shoe-A-Holics, is Fabulous!

fab·u·lous/ˈfabyələs/

Adjective:  1. Extraordinary

                 2. Amazingly good
Synonyms:  wonderful, fantastic, legendary

 

True Story:  So I was heading to the Farmer's market, and yes, this is how I dress to go grocery shopping and basically everywhere else (you can take the girl out of Italia, but you can't take the Italia out of the girl!); and the market is held in one of the old city squares which has been converted to a park complete with playground, tennis courts and fountain.  I have waited since last year for it to open (apparently only Italian markets are open year round).  In any event, people were out and about on this particular day, walking their dogs, doing Zumba in the park and running the perimeter.  I had just crossed the street from where I found an awesome parking spot, when two ladies came around the corner.  The first spoke, "You look fabulous!"  The second, at a loss for words could only echo her friend's sentiment, "Fabulous!"  Grinning from ear to ear, I thanked them kindly and continued onto the market.  Needless to say, this made my day.

What a difference one word can make. 

Here's hoping you have a fabulous day and look fabulous while doing so!

Baci!
