I looooove shoes. Unfortunately, due to an injury several years ago, I can only wear flats. Over the years, I have amassed quite a collection of fabulous flats.

After my purse was stolen last month, I despaired of ever finding a wallet I would love as much as I loved my old one. My sister had purchased it from Nordstrom (it was the Nordstrom house brand) five years ago, then tired of it after six months and gave it to me. I never…
