Sole Society Purchase

I discovered Sole Society about a month ago, which is a website that focuses on selling shoes, bags, and accessories for women and where shipping is always free.  I made my first purchase several weeks ago after receiving a coupon and finally deciding on a weekend travel bag.  I'm very happy with that purchase, so I decided to take the leap into my first shoe purchase with them.

One of the things I'm pretty excited about with SS is that they consistently make shoes for those of us with smaller feet; they even make shoes as small as a size 4!  I took a big leap of faith and chose two pairs of shoes on Final Sale (no returns)--because I'm pretty frugal about clothes and am always looking for a deal--and crossed my fingers that everything would work out.  Thankfully it did!  Not only were they true to size (it really helps to read product reviews), but I was pleasantly surprised at how cushion-y the shoes felt.  Needless to say I will be a repeat customer!  I've worn my favorite pair of boots to pieces, so I'm excited to see what their expanding boot selection will include in the future as we meet and greet with fall and winter.

*My only critique of these shoes is that the zipper is a bit stiff and it takes some strong-arming to zip the heel.

    Love the color on both of those shoes! You'll be able to pair them with so many things!

      Thanks, Anne! It's been threatening to rain here, so I haven't had a chance to wear them yet as I need to spray them with some leather/suede protector. But I can't wait to wear them! :) By the way, your blog is adorable. Keep up the great work and thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to "Corking Around"

When I started my blog I’d originally intended to primarily write about winery tours, cooking adventures, and travelling. I created it for myself in order to have an artistic outlet outside of my technical full time job. I told myself to avoid falling into several “newbie” blogging traps of A) creating content for content’s sake and B) promoting it in hopes of somehow magically attracting sponsors. In short, I didn’t want to compromise my blogging goals by word vomiting (to borrow a phrase from Mean Girls) all over the place. However, anyone who’s ever tried to maintain a blog knows how time consuming it is to create content for each new post, whether it’s just for yourself and a few friends or for hundreds of loyal readers. Whatever you choose to blog about, it takes time, and often money, to visit places, document a recipe, and/or keep up with the fashion and beauty products. This, combined with the addition of a part-time job, quite a bit of traveling for my full time job,...

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge

Image
Another fantastic Northern Ireland site is the rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede .  Located near Ballintoy in County Antrim, this bridge was first erected by fishermen about 350 years ago.  It spans over a 23-meter deep and 20-meter wide chasm and was traditionally used by the fishermen so that they could check their salmon nets.  Today fishermen no longer work in the area due to a diminished availability of salmon.  In the 1960's fishermen caught approximately 300 salmon per day, but by 2002 only 300 salmon were caught in a single season. The original rope bridge consisted of a single rope hand rail that was replaced with a two hand railed bridge by the National Trust .  So suffice it to say it's much safer now than I'm sure it was 350+ years ago!  For those afraid of heights, crossing is definitely a thrill since the rope bridge undulates as everyone walks across it.  However, the staff has safety in mind as only a maximum amount of individual...
