Jeffrey Campbell “Hot Child in the City” Summer 2012 Lookbook

May 15, 2012 Posted on May 15, 2012 by Monique

I’ve always considered Jeffrey Campbell the hippie rocker of the shoe industry. I will admit I only own one pair and I’ve decided this needs to change. The summer 2012 lookbook “Hot Child in the City” has helped influence this need for shoes. Like I really need a reason. LOL! I’m eyeing the “Dollywood” booties. How about you? Are you a Jeffrey Campbell fan? How many pairs do you own? View the entire lookbook here…

Shoe Insider: Naya ‘Palomi’ Sandal

April 16, 2012 Posted on April 16, 2012 by Monique

Raise your hand if you’ve ever experienced the joy of finding a gladiator sandal that you knew you couldn’t live without? *Raises hand* Ever since my black gladiator sandals died (the heel broke off), I’ve been on the hunt. Not only do I want cute, by I want comfy. You know that’s my favorite phrase. That’s when shoe company Naya walked into my life and just in the nick of time. I was seriously ready to give up. Enter the Palomi Sandal ($129.95), in all its glory. I love the herringbone braid feature that runs down the front of the sandal. … Continue reading →

Shoe Insider: Earthies’ The Veria Too

April 5, 2012 Posted on April 5, 2012 by Monique

When was the last time you wore a shoe that actually cared about your health? Yeah, I’m with you. I didn’t think they were out there either. That was until I was sent a pair of Earthies. Created more than 40 years ago by a Danish Yoga instructor, Earthies were one of the first to give consumers “a true whole-body wellness experience-footwear with a slight sole incline that re-positioned the wearer’s body more naturally over their frame.” “Delivering on the promise of “Wellness. Elevated “, every Earthies® style features a unique wellness footbed. A cupped heel sets the foot into … Continue reading →

March 23, 2012 Posted on March 23, 2012 by Monique

Now that spring is here, it’s time to start thinking sandals and wedges. I’m a big fan of wedges. Maybe because it’s not a flat, but it’s not a heel either. And there’s something about an Espadrille wedge that has me thinking spring dresses. Just look at all the style and colors. You have everything from nude to vibrant colors. I think I really need to go shopping. LOL! Since I’m in the mood to shop, I’ve decided to find you a few that are $50 and under. Which one is your favorite?

Torrid’s Retro State of Mind

March 7, 2012 Posted on March 7, 2012 by Monique

Torrid and I have been friends for a while now and I’ve noticed the trends come and go. One thing I’ve always loved about them is how they’ve always embraced the retro style. And all of the pieces above are perfect examples of that. I’m especially loving the dresses! Brands like Stop Staring and Queen of Heartz make chic pieces! Even the swimsuits are getting in on the action. Do you own any of their retro designs? Are you a retro kind of girl?

You all know about my love for Dolce Vita. In fact…I love them ever more, because I won a free pair from them on their Facebook page! I don’t know what pair I’m getting, but hey it’s free. If you haven’t entered, why not? If I can win, maybe you will too! But hurry, because it’s only until the end of February. Anywhoodle, so where was I…Oh yes…I adore them.

MAGIC’s FN Platform: Part 2

February 18, 2012 Posted on February 18, 2012 by Monique

Here are more photos from MAGIC’s FN Platform. I don’t think you ladies understand how many shoes there were! We didn’t even cover the entire thing. I know my feet would’ve of been dead at the end of that day! I was most impressed with Betsey Johnson and Charles Whittington. Of course I always love a fun shoe like Betsey Johnson, but I was loving the double stiletto by Charles Whittington. Isn’t it cool? It’s trademarked people…so don’t try to steal it! Just love it!
