Shoe talk with simplysofa from Washington
Q: Why do you love shoes?
A: Shoes are what pulls an outfit all together. If you have the wrong shoes, your outfit is going to look a little off if not completely. For me, if I have on a great pair of shoes, my confidence level soars. Only in the right pair of shoes, do I feel I can pull off a black mini skirt or a satin dress over a tshirt. And let’s face it, we all love shoes because they can never make us feel fat; we can all wear them.

A: Jeffrey Campbell for keeping it realistic.

A: Platforms. Remember back when the Spice Girls walked around in those on stage? Ugh.

A: The black stiletto. Enough said.

SHOE TALK WITH RubyBlue from Texas
Q: Why do you love shoes?
A: Oh, because they are feminine, I love my feet, I think that an outfit is merely an outfit without the shoe. A shoe is you personality almost as much as a handbag -except you put your handbag down. I love to cross my legs and casually bounce the pretty shoe on top! Such a statement
Q: What is the worst shoe trend of all time?
A: Anything that boasts comfort only. I KNOW its necessary but its scary. I do not like those wooden dutch looking shoes with the pleather band over your toe. Please no!
Q: If you could design the perfect shoe, what features would they have?
A: The perfect shoe would be black grosgain peekaboo toe with a heel to die for and the strap would be around your ankle once and then I would attach a different vintage stone to each shoe as my mood see fit, yes, at the buckle of the ankle…. YUM!
Q: Who is your favorite shoe designer?
A: Oh dear…its a tie between MADDEN for accessibility and flip flops, Christian Louboutin for sexy, Betsey Johnson for my retro minx moods, and Donald J. Pliner; who designed my fave shoe of all time and signed it…it was a wedge heel in grey and bone python and black pony top. I am pisces - the mood is the moment.
Q: What shoe trend would you like to see disappear?
A: I adore the ballet slipper for fall (ah, to rest the weary foot) and think Tory Burch does this well…however, the knockoff…people it just looks like a hood ornament on a knockoff…pretty much any designer backwards GD versus DG….
Q: What is your most favorite shoe trend of all time?
A: The almighty thong/flip flop…so many ways to make that pretty…and tan feet with polished toes…this is the best time of year for the shoe.
