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.

Q: If you could design the perfect pair of shoes, what features would they have?
A: Something more classic than trendy with the perfect sized heel for a woman who’s 5′10 and doesn’t wish to tower of her 6′0 husband; sturdy and a bit pointy.

Q: Who is your favorite shoe designer?
A: Jeffrey Campbell for keeping it realistic.

Q: What shoe trend would you like to see disappear?
A: Platforms. Remember back when the Spice Girls walked around in those on stage? Ugh.

Q: What is your most favorite shoe style of all time?
A: The black stiletto. Enough said.

snakeskin-esque sandal from boutique 9

December 8, 2008

it’s friday lady. you just got paid. AND YOU ARE GOING OUT! but you’re reconciling that extra dough you spent on your daughter’s dance wear, the haute hat you had to have from wednesday’s accessory sale, and the dinner you bought the dog sitter… oooohhhh!! you will look fantastic tonight but you’ll wear “the look” for less.

stephinitely’s shuzmuse tipped me off on boutique 9, a contemporary little line of shoes that are well-priced and with their nod to high-end designs are stylish to boot. available at nine west, www.heels.com and Piperlime, among others, most strappy sandals and pumps are priced under $150.

this pair from boutique 9, “boden” is a snakeskin-esque asymetrical sandal in this season’s black and gold combo. dress them up with your slinkiest of dresses or pair them with some cute shorts. girl, you will be fine tonight, and at $143 you haven’t broken the bank. and when your daughter steps out of her dancing shoes and into these, you don’t have to worry sooooo much. check them out, and the rest of the boutique 9 collection at Zappos.com
