Two-Tone Pumps…A Classic Returns

Since I was a little girl, I have loved the look of two-tone shoes. I remember seeing my mother’s best friend wearing black and white classic pumps. She was dressed in that 60’s, feminine and classic way… more Jacqueline Kennedy than Twiggy! So, of course I am thrilled that Spectator’s are among the must haves for fall…. Take a look at these:

These shoes are from Vince Camuto…. at Nordstrom.  I couldn’t locate any pictures on the Web, but Stuart Weitzman, Marni, Lanvin, and Manolo Blahnik all have gorgeous variations of this shoe arriving in stores this Fall.

Saturday is for Sales

I guess that I have two addictions…. shoes, and you guessed it… computers! Just as I think I can handle a weekend computer-less, I find that I just can’t do that!!

For great sale prices, check out Shoes.com - they have a sale every Saturday! Also, we are in the sale days of every department store… remember school starts back and that always brings sale prices out of hiding as well…..

SO Happy shopping!!

Taking my vacation…

To those of you that read here, I am sorry that I haven’t updated the posts… I have been in workday hell…. and taking a long weekend out of town… .with no computer access….
I will be back and posting beginning July 31st.

In the mean time…. please feel free to drop me a comment and tell me what you would like to see me write about.

Comfort’s New Look

Cole Haan is using it’s parent company’s technology for their fall line of shoes. Don’t know who the parent company is? Nike, the same Nike of air shock support… so if what I am reading is true, comfort will be meeting stylish and sexy this fall.

I can’t wait to see what they offer!

Saturday’s Bag ….

As I said last Saturday… we also need to take time to talk about what to carry with your shoes.

Zac Posen offers this demure bag:

and Barbara Bui offers these bags with great embellishments:

Since I am short, I prefer the more demure bag.  The embellishments are great, but I think they could overpower those of us that aren’t lucky enough to be tall.

What to Wear… When You Are Walking

I wore some cute little flip flops the other day to a baseball game not knowing that I would be walking miles after wards. Well needless to say, they are comfortable for hanging out but not for walking endlessly… I had the worst blisters for two days! To make matters worse, I know better. I even have shoes that are great for walking in. If you will be walking for a long ways.. .say a day trip out of the city, wear a good shoe for it such as Born. I love several of their shoes. Take a look at these:

Prada’s Fall Collection

Take a look at the fall line from Prada, I love summer, but with fall shoes like these I could be happy to see the leaves change.

Saturday Night Purse

You all know what goes with shoes? Right? My other obsession - purses and bags. So I thought I would add a Saturday Night Purse posting day. One of my favorite purse designers? Why, Kate Spade of course! Take a look at these - what do you think?

Diva or Dud?

In copy-cat sort of way, from Shoewawa… I have decided upon the occasional diva or dud vote. Take a look at these pre-order shoes and tell me - DIVA? or DUD?
