yup, i’m still using these old aqua wellies. they’ve got major cracks in them, so i can’t actually wear them in the rain, but i also can’t part with them, nor can i decide what color to get next. thought they were pretty rockin’ with my pink homage-to-the-80s pants.

maybe only this vintage yellow office chair. i may actually have to steal it.
~ julochka
whoa, it’s been a long time since i shoe per diemed…tho’ we’ve undoubtedly seen these babies before, it’s such a seldom sight (me dressed up in actual heels and stockings) these days, that i had to share.
we’re still hoping spring will eventually come to these parts – it was a rather nice day on monday, but it turned cold again. and don’t look too closely at my pedi, it’s a mess.
~ julochka
it’s been awhile since y’all saw the purple bumpers, but here they are, still going strong and keeping my feet warm as i wait on the sidelines of a cold indoor riding arena!
~ julochka
i fear i’ve become german. like the germans, i’ve lost all ability to match my socks and shoes correctly. purple converse one stars and some random green socks. at least they’re smartwool.
~ julochka
i have new wellies on order. i hope they come soon.
~ julochka
cool grey converse with raggedy green edges. one of the few pairs we did manage to find in the US this summer.
~ julochka
i haven’t really shown you these yet…weird that. but i’ve not worn them too much. they seem too precious and i don’t want to get them muddy.
i found them in the same marvelous little family-owned, traditional shoe store in mitchell, SD that’s been there since time began. i hadn’t had “spring step” shoes before, but they do indeed put a spring in my step. and a smile on my face when i look down at them.
the smartwool socks were purchased to match.
~ julochka
+ my new green converse. <3 them. and those pumpkin flowers stuffed with cream cheese, breaded in panko crumbs and fried were delish.
~ julochka
i learned from stacey on what not to wear that it’s a cardinal sin to wear nylons (even sexy walfords) with open-toed shoes, so i went barefoot today. i made sure my toenail polish matched the shoes, tho’. tho’ i obviously painted them in the dark, as i didn’t do a very good job. oh well, if anyone’s looking that closely, they should be ashamed of themselves anyway.
~ julochka
i got orange converse too. so bright and cheery, but alas, not high tops. quite fetching with my smartwool stripey socks, don’t you think?
sabin attracted attention at Mall of America and at the various airports on our way home in her new sparkly uggs.
they make uggs a whole lot less uggly. 
~ julochka
tho’ i felt like converse were strangely hard to find in the US and i never did see a single pair of high tops, i did manage to get myself 4 new pairs – green, orange, grey w/raggedy green edges and a pair of purple one stars. i’d not seen those before, but they were the perfect shade of purple for the new shorts i got at the gap. now i can pretty much wear converse every day.
~ julochka
my most beloved south african havianas. apparently only for tourists in capetown, but what can i say?
~ julochka
grey with kinda raggedy green edges. <3 them. it was actually rather difficult to find all stars when we were in the US and we never did see any high-tops. i wonder what was up with that?
i did, however, manage to find several pairs, which will be making appearances in the near future.
~ julochka
a little peek at my new stripey shoes by Spring Step – found them in a little mom & pop shoe store called Brown’s that’s been on the same corner in Mitchell, SD for years and years. it’s the same place i got the sparkly Uggs for Sabin. i love that i supported a local business instead of a big, evil chain store!!
you’ll be seeing more of these in the near future!
~ julochka
sabin got new, fabulous sequined uggs today. i can tell you that a little sparkle makes them a whole lot less uggly…
and that’s our new kitten, molly. we’ve jumped a whole lot of hoops to be able to take her home with us to denmark. we fly on tuesday.
~ julochka
green converse + 50 pound watermelon. it’s summer in south dakota.
~ julochka.
it has already begun. tho’ i didn’t actually let her have these shoes. she is only 11, after all.
~ julochka
i wandered half of the suburbs of minneapolis to get my hands on this shoe in my size.
it was worth the effort.
they are awesome.

this photo is mostly about the kittens, who are getting far too big to drink off their mama (not that it stops them).
in less than month i’ll go to the US and get new converse.
~ julochka
this was me & my biz partner, sitting at a very interesting meeting on wednesday evening.
~ julochka
the library in kolding has the best chairs. but i included a shot of my shoe so it would qualify as a shoe per diem. that’s a little peek at my favorite zebra bag as well. real zebra. it was gonna die anyway. but really, this is about the chair. awesome chair. you could share it with a friend. or you could keep it all to yourself. that’s what i like to do.
~ julochka
went to a wedding this weekend.
nail polish: essie sew psyched and my favorite round-toed shoes. tights from noa noa.
~ julochka
spent the day at a flea market. didn’t buy this, as i’d reached my limit, but maybe it’ll still be there next time.
~julochka
they’ve put in these fancy, smooth granite tiles in the approach up to Nørreport Station. it’s just too sleek and nice – Nørreport Station is way more gritty and real than this. say it isn’t so, Copenhagen!!
~ julochka
i spent a few hours in copenhagen yesterday. it was the big prayer day, so nothing was open, but i did a bit of window shopping. i’ll take one of each please, size 40.
~ julochka
could use some new chucks, but will get some this summer when we’re in the US, where they are reasonably priced. still – what’s more springy than sunshine, dandelions and sneaks?
~ julochka
it’s been awhile since i actually dressed up, so i had to share. these are classics here by now, but still some of my favorites. they say “bronx” on the bottom, but that’s the only lead on a brand. i got them a few years ago at a posh shop in hellerup. i love their round toes. hose are wolford (of course). the skirt, i think was actually picked up in Next (should i be admitting that in writing?).
~ julochka
oh oh, time for new wellies for sure – and now it’s not just because i want some.
~ julochka
oh oh, my aqua wellies are cracked and not-so-waterproof anymore. i wonder if one of those tire patches would help?
next time, i want purple ones.
oh, and by the way, that cat is gonna have kittens any minute now.
~ julochka
this is pepchin. she’s gonna have kittens any day now. it’s her first time and i’m not sure she realizes it. she no longer knows her own shape and body weight – the other day, i saw her topple over backwards, trying to wash a back leg. poor dear.
shoes – my old around-the-house think! slip-ons. these shoes just last & last.
little miss bella got out her best shoes today when i stopped by for a visit. she graciously agreed to allow me to photograph them and share them here on shoe per diem.
they’re purple, feathery and with a bit of sparkle – perfect for a day at kindergarten or just for lounging around the house, looking fabulous.
~ julochka
but spring has officially arrived!! yay!!
~ julochka
wellies, matilde’s stylish boot and her regular horse shoe (hard to see, but there, nonetheless). at least the sun was shining! you know what that means, my down under girls – spring is coming!!
~ julochka
our horse has a hoof abscess and the vet recommended we get her a set of these protective boots while it heals. she only has to wear the left one, but of course they come in pairs. made of tough leather with an even tougher plastic sole and really heavy-duty velcro – the very height of horse fashion. and at 1200DKK ($211US), pretty pricey! guess i’ll be waiting to get those new wellies for myself. kinda sad to spend more on boots for the horse than i would on some for me!
~ julochka
they’re not leaking or anything, but they’re really very pretty anymore, are they? i’m thinking i want purple this time.
~ julochka
yup. spring has sprung. tho’ we don’t know if it will stick. but we’re enjoying it while we can.
~ julochka
this is almost more about the bat-like reflection in the mud puddle of my coat blowing in the wind than it is about the shoes (or boots, as the case may be). red furry bumpers. hopefully, i’ll be able to put them away soon! spring is in the air!
