Things We Just Can’t Live Without
October 6th, 2009 by The Barefoot Blogger: Laura Kleinbaum
In the immortal words of Diane Warren:
“How do I live without you?
I want to know.
How do I breathe without you,
If you ever go?
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I
Oh, how do I live?”
Well, if she’s talking about her lost lover, I’d say, “Diane, this sounds like a really tough break, considering how very devastated you seem. But this is very dramatic, and you certainly shouldn’t sing it to him. Don’t give him the satisfaction, girlfriend. This too shall pass. And soon enough, you’ll find someone else. Love Happens. So maybe in the mean time, get a hobby, something else to occupy your time. A lot of women your age are into tennis. It’s a “life sport” and the skirts never go out of style or cease to be cute. Also, you know what, Diane? He probably wasn’t that great anyway. He probably had a ton of habits you hated and quirks you couldn’t stand. Try making a list of those. But stop crying first, or your tears will smear the ink. And look, he left, so move on. And quit saying you can’t breathe because that’s just unsafe.
Here’s the thing though, I don’t think Diane is talking about her lost lover. Nope, I think she’s talking about the Corso Como ‘San Jose.’
With its soft, two-toned leather and perfect, leg-flattering height, it will complete your look, whether it be English equestrian, Western-inspired, or classic and clean with interesting embellishments like J. Crew is doing this season and everyone loves so much. Now I’m sort of at a loss though, because maybe I could talk Diane off a ledge, but I certainly haven’t the slightest idea of how to live with out these boots.
If you can think of any other songs that are actually about shoes, (start listening–there are a million!) post them for your chance to win $50 this week.

“Oh short on money but long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And I’m late and I don’t need an excuse,
Cause I’m wearing my brand new shoes!”
Paolo Nutini – New Shoes
I remember being in the living room studying with the tv on (music helps me focus) and all of the sudden I hear this energetic song going on. I started dancing immediatly (and so quit studying
) to this scottish unknown singer that got me thinking: why does a pair of shoes really put us in a better mood?
Well, I’m a US 13 and I almost never get new shoes, just new sneakers and flip flops, so I do get my excitement when a pair actually fits me.
But, what about other girls? Why does a new pair of objects in which you’ll be putting your smelly feet all day makes you so happy?
Power. They give us power and style and confidence and make us feel chic and trendy.
Mistery solved (and back to studying!)

“These boots are made for walking,
and that’s just what they’ll do.
One of these days these BOOTS are gonna
walk all over you”
-Nancy Sinatra and many more (all the way up to Jessica Simpson)
Bam. You all know it and love it. Because that song is the power of boots. And in those boots, nothing will stand in your way…

Sisqo’s Thong Song. That’s about flip flops, right?
Well, Paolo Nutini’s New Shoes is certainly about shoes.

“Are you ready, boots?
Start walkin!”
Nancy Sinatra – These Boots are Made for Walking
Stand tall, take a deep breath, and strut your stuff away from any guy that makes you feel desperate!
Nancy Sinatra, and maybe Jessica Simpson, belted out some sage advice for women with their song, “These Boots are Made for Walking”.
Women need to empower themselves, and each other, and take a stand for what they deserve.
We all deserve fabulous boots, like the Corso Como “San Jose”, featured in your post.
They would certainly make it easy for any woman to follow Ms. Sinatra’s lead…”Are you ready, boots? Start Walkin’!”

Nancy Sinatra
These Boots Were Made For Walking
You keep saying you’ve got something for me.
something you call love, but confess.
You’ve been messin’ where you shouldn’t have been a messin’
and now someone else is gettin’ all your best.
These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
You keep lying, when you oughta be truthin’
and you keep losin’ when you oughta not bet.
You keep samin’ when you oughta be changin’.
Now what’s right is right, but you ain’t been right yet.
These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
You keep playin’ where you shouldn’t be playin
and you keep thinkin’ that you´ll never get burnt.
Ha! I just found me a brand new box of matches yeah
and what he know you ain’t HAD time to learn.
Are you ready boots? Start walkin’!
****and these fabulous boots were made by Designer Beth Levine

I think Catarina & Brady have it all figured out. And when they are done studying they’ll be running so smart woman’s COMPANY!

Who could forget Kelly’s “Shoes”?
“Shoes,….shoes,….shoes,
Oh My God! shoes…
Let’s get some shoes,
Let’s get some shoes,
Let’s get some shoes,
Let’s get some shoes.
….
‘I think you have too many shoes.’
‘shut up!’
‘I think you have too many shoes.’
‘Shut up!’
‘I think you have too many shoes.’
‘Shut Up!’
‘I think you have too many shoes.’
‘SHUT UP!’”
and on and on…
Kelly’s amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HjIljJd-o0&feature=SeriesPlayList&p=75668CBD6A342880

Footloose- Kenny Loggins:
“Now I gotta cut loose, footloose
Kick off my Sunday shoes
Please Louise pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back
Come on before we crack
Lose your blues everybody cut footloose”
Put on your Sunday shoes everybody =)
