Mid-Week Matinee, Mad About Madden Week: Steve Madden -Lenor, Olive

Buongiorno Amici!

This week we shall break from our regular mid-day diversion...but don't despair, good things come to those who wait!  So hold on for one more week, and until then, I leave you, my fellow Shoe-A-Holics, with some culture.



Once upon an afternoon sunny, while I browsed with purse full of money,

Over many a quaint pair of shoes in the department store;

Then I saw it while I was shopping, suddenly my jaw was dropping

As if all time was stopping; snatching me from melancholy and bore

‘I’m in love,’ I muttered, ‘I’m in love like never before –

Only this and nothing more.’

Ah, distinctly I remember, it was October or perhaps September,

My eyes opened wide as my feet were firmly planted on the floor,

Eagerly I searched for my size, this pair of shoes would be my prize

An addition to my Arsenal; 300 pairs and counting but just one more –

In vain I searched the stock on the department floor

For the olive beauties named, Lenor.

All at once my soul grew stronger, hesitating then no longer

‘Sir,’ said I ‘or Ma’am, truly your expertise I implore;

But the fact is I am seeking, perhaps in the storeroom as I was peeking

This lovely shoe here, a size 10 please, and nothing more.’

‘Of that size,’ quoth the sales clerk, ‘there is no more!

‘We just sold the last pair of Lenor!’

 I couldn’t tell if it was whether the stitch-detail or the leather,

Thrilling me -filling me with fantastic feelings never felt before;

So that now to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,

‘Search again, because I’m not walking out the door!

I’m not leaving until I get what I came for –

My Steve Madden shoes named, Lenor!’

 Security changed all that;

Back to my house returning all my soul within me churning,

My thoughts all consuming with those Steve Madden shoes, Lenor;

‘Surely,’ said I, ‘surely there must be another pair…somewhere out there.’

Then I turned on my computer, and I sat and waited for

My dial up modem to connect in order for me to explore

The internet, for Lenor.

Frantically, I started typing, then my eyes, I started wiping,

Wiping tears of joy away; I had found what I was looking for;

Then at once I was scrolling, clicking, and receiving my free shipping

Now only I have to wait for my shoes by the front door;

I’ve learned my lesson: think twice of shopping at the department store;

Quoth my sanity, ‘Nevermore!’*

Baci!

I Got a Wedgie! Shoe Review: Steve Madden -Lenor, Navy

Ahoy, Mateys!  Request permission to come aboard!

Man o' man!  Have I got a wedgie, and Steve Madden's name is written all over it!  OMG, my fellow Shoe-A-Holics!  If you have been looking for an "it" shoe with comfort without sacrificing style, the Lenor by Steve Madden is "it"!

If you have been holding out on a new pair of shoes or have yet to take the plunge into the Marvelous Mondo of Madden, this is the shoe for you!  A leather shoe which is high on style and needs no breaking-in time could only be perfected by Steve Madden; the sturdy height of a stacked wedge in combination with a lug sole for traction is a no slip solution in wet weather (rainy or dockside!).  And in the three colors in which it comes, you can always find something with which to pair it.  I personally have (and only will) pair it with a skirt or dress.  Why?  The stitch detail around the rim of the shoe and the bow tie on the vamp, turns this boat shoe beauty into smooth sailing land (and sea) worthy vessel to be admired (and envied)!  I highly recommend this shoe!  You did it again, Steve!

Baci a tutti!
