Also how do they all manage to look the same? And while Im at it they wear flip flops in winter?? Now I know Im 40 but really?! And the sizing/pricing on the labels? In the dark totally impossible to read, which is probably just as well when you look at the prices.<br />There I feel strangley better for that - thank you!<br /><br />PS Love love love the shoes!!<br />xx♥ Priddy Priddy ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/03116570999275307253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922046173955540379.post-6525228721195526732012-04-06T11:12:46.712+01:002012-04-06T11:12:46.712+01:00Oh my word I spent an HOUR!!!!!! in Hollister with...Oh my word I spent an HOUR!!!!!! in Hollister with my daughter last weekend.

Strangely, the town now seems much bigger than when I was small, but there was no 'Weetabix' smell from a brewery (I didn't know about hops, malt and brewery smells in those days, and really thought Weetabix was made there by the back entrance to Heelas!(Used-to-Beeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865449943356287351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922046173955540379.post-3767541481721072352012-04-05T19:14:54.096+01:002012-04-05T19:14:54.096+01:00It was fun following along your post.
