I used to buy from Zappos but I sent so many shoes back I started to feel embarrassed. I suppose that's silly, but I get much better deals at DSW, and I can return in person if necessary.

As for DSW, here's a link: http://www.dsw.com/ If I order something and don't like it, I can return it to a nearby DSW store, which is one of the reasons I like it so much.

(narrow at the ankle and wide across the base of the toes) The last time I looked there, most of the shoes were leather, even though man-made, especially boots, is getting easier to find. I got a pair of non-leather Naturalizer boots this winter that I wore practically every day. DSW has the best selection I've found — especially online. And they have the best sales.

We can't wear open toe shoes at work (the only dress code we have) so I haven't worn sandals in years... my favorite vegan shoes are just whatever is cheap and comfortable. I love my Onitsuka Tiger sneakers.<br />The artichoke sauce on pasta sounds fantastic. I so rarely make artichokes but they are lovely.<br />And luckily I have never had a bad asparagus experience... there is a recipe in a Terry Walters book (I believe) that serves them steamed with a creamy walnut sauce. So delicious.foodfeudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589414740603993442noreply@blogger.com
