This started out as a really crappy day. My sweet, precious grandpa on my mom’s side passed away early this morning. While I’ve only seen him a handful of times in my whole life (he’d always lived in Poland), he was still my mom’s dad, and I loved him. And there’s nothing worse than seeing your mom suffer over the loss of a parent. Especially a mom as cute and sweet and precious and full of love as my mom. She and Bunny will be traveling to the funeral, and Mr. Mock will be taking Mini down to see his folks in ATL. My dad and I will be staying in Indy, along with Junior Mock. It’s going to be a very unusual and sort of lonely Thanksgiving.
So it was a happy diversion from the sadness of the day, to not only get my Robbie Williams CD in the mail at work today, but also to come home to the most delicious pair of shoes EVER. I promised pictures, and I don’ t like to break promises, so here you go!
THE BOX.
The DUST BAGS.
THE FABULOUSNESS.
The modeling of the fabulousness.
And you guys, listen to the sweetness that is Mr. Mock. Because I have to spend Thanksgiving without him and Mini, he announced today that he is going to prepare us an early turkey day dinner to have tomorrow night before they head out of town. Is that the most adorable thing you’ve ever heard?
Somehow, I just KNOW my grandpa is looking down on Mr. Mock and smiling at the fact that his granddaughter married so well. ‘Tis the season to be thankful indeed! 
So sorry about your grandpa.
Shoes are beautiful.
Dying grandpa = no good.
Shoes are awesome, but are they comfortable?
I’m sorry for your loss.
There’s nothing we can do to avoid certain things, so we might as well just accept them in the best possible way. And indeed, your grandfather must be looking down and smiling at the sight of his granddauther and her family
I’m glad you feel that way instead of drowning yourself into miserable feelings that are NOT good for anyone, especially you.
Unbelievably, they ARE. They’re platform, so they don’t feel as high heeled as they actually are.
But truth be told, I’d wear them regardless. WWVBD?
Oh, and the shoes are faaaaaaa-bulous!
Your Victoria would probably envy them with passion
Thanks Francisco and Anonymous!
Anonymous is also me, lol… I don’t know what happened there
Yeah, those shoes are pretty fabulous. Sort of a classic look, but with a designer’s touches on the classic fabulousness, making for a stylish/classic fabulosity. I’m not saying I want a pair, but I can see the fabulousness.
So very sorry for your loss, Mock. *hugs* I think you have a pretty good attitute about it right now. Hang in there, and be ready to listen to your fabulous mom. She’ll probably need you soon. (My mother’s mother passed away the end of last winter and she is having a tough time with every holiday that she’s experiencing as an orphan for the first time. Her father passed away 11 years and 1 day before his wife. It was bittersweet. Gram hung on so she could catch his day, we are sure.)
On a more positive note, those are some very sweet shoes!! I bet they are really nice with a little black dress, too.
Oh! I just noticed that your toenails match the red on the shoes!! Fabulousity, indeed!!!
That was me above. Don’t know why it made me anonymous…
Prayers for your grandpa’s soul, and for your family. I hope God gives all of you comfort.
In the meantime, you’ve got those shoes. They really are great!
Huge hugs to you and your family. I just lost my wonderful Grammy 1 month ago today. She was the only person who made me feel like I was special, and her home was always my safe haven. The day before she died, she was confused and thought she was at home while I was visiting her. She asked me, “Want a highball?” It’s given me giggles when all I want to do is cry! (I had a few after her funeral!) I know there’s no words, but I hope you know that here on your fabulous website, and COTR, you are loved and we all have you in our thoughts and hearts.
By the way, did those shoes each come in their own separate bag?!
Mock – I am so sorry for your loss. Be there for your mom. She will need you.
Love the shoes! Fabulous! People will stop and stare in the streets of Indianapolis when you wear these shoes! Make VB proud!
You have so much to be thankful for, we all do.
Mock–I’m so sorry for your family’s loss.
also, you have inspired me. If you can wear heels then I should theoretically be able to as well! I’m going to try–maybe try one of those platform heels I’ve been seeing everywhere. Love the shoes!
Sorry about your Grandfather.
The shoes……I think they’re on sale at Walmart.
buckeye Bob should have his mouth washed out with soap for such a blashpamy against those FABULOUS shoes!!! There is so much fabulosity that I feel fabulous just having seen them! To Die For Mockerena- hope you enjoy them.
So sorry about the loss of your Grandfather, it is never easy.
Gorgeous shoes….naturally
