Shoes by Raissa Bretaña: A Book Review

Shoes is written by Raissa Bretaña, a New-York city based fashion historian. In it, Bretaña shows “the evolution of women’s fashionable footwear over the course of four centuries…(p. 9)” It has 250 pictures of “the finest examples” of shoes from the 17th century to the 21st century, which were selected from museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art (p. 9).

A Beautiful Day Yesterday

It was a beautiful day yesterday. Rain is my favorite weather, so when it was raining a little bit I went out on the porch to enjoy it. After the rain stopped, a rainbow appeared in the sky. I could also see some lightning flashing near the rainclouds, which was very cool. I took some pictures of our plants, the trees in the backyard, and the rainbow. I took pictures of this xylophone that was on the porch because I liked how the colorful xylophone keys contrast with the grey background. I also took pictures of our dog Belle.

 As I took pictures of the flowers and observed the beauty of the day, I thanked God for creating the flowers, the breeze, and for making it rainy weather that day. Psalms 19:1 says "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork" (NKJV). These things that God has created glorify Him, and I believe that is really amazing.
