ShoeStream’s list of shoe gadgets

December 9, 2008

ShoeStream recently posted a list of top-10 tools and gadgets for shoe lovers, and then sent that list to shuzsociety. From lap-top stands to recycled-croc thingy, there’s something for everyone when a “shoe” doesn’t fit.

We found these electric footwear dryers at wishingfish especially intriguing. Crank them up as you head in the shower, and when you step out, your winter shoes will be ready for wear! Imagine them down inside a pair of Uggs? Mmmmm, now that’s toasty! They are currently SO HOT they are SOLD OUT. But keep checking!

Thanks ShoeStream for the lovely list of shoe gadgets!

December 6, 2008

Heidi Montag’s clothing line heidiwood is officially in stores. Despite poor reviews, big companies like Kitson are giving it a go! while the comments on imnotobessed.com gave mixed reviews… of her shoes, not her line, they’re worth a read.

her shoes? flashy chloé patent leather strappy shoe-boots with a peep-toe and rear zip entry, $745. get your pair at net-a-porter.com. and though you didn’t ask my opinion, i’m gonna give it. i ADORE these shoes! first, i dig a rear zip. something sexy about stepping in through the heel of a shoe that sets my inner stripper purrrrring. and the color combo! seriously, beautifully decadent. the milky taupe patent mixed with a salmon sock lining and set against the harsh geometric heel. mmmmm! i. repeat. i. LOVE. them!
