If the boot fits....

With winter in swing it's time to break out the boots!!!
Boots are probably one of my favorite things to wear. They are so versatile. They can be worn under pants or jeans, with jeans tucked into them (my favorite), or even with a sweater dress.

Luckily, you will be able to find a ton of boots on sale right now. There are a ton of places that you can scoop up boots for reasonable prices right now. Places like DSW have really good prices. Nordstrom and Macy’s have great prices as well.
A classy tip: If you sign up for email newsletters from Aldo, they will give you a coupon for 10% off your first purchase. you can sign up by clicking here.
REMEMBER: you get what you pay for. Don’t go the cheap route when it comes to boots.

Cheep Boots Look Cheep.
You don’t have to spend a fortune but keep in mind that you only wear them a few months out of the year. So a good pair (or two) can last you a few years at least.

No!!!!! Not Again

NO NO NO...... This is becoming ludicrous! 2 times in one week I see this sock stuffed in a "shoot" business.

Now this lovely disaster is the creation of Stella McCartney. A pair of these will set you back $1,195 (very tempting, i know).

I know where this idea came from. Stella was smoking a huge ROCK, and saw a pair of

hideous "booties" then thought, "Wow you know what would look great with those? Thick Socks!! BRILLIANT!!" I'm here to inform anyone who cares, that these little things are not cute. They are not as bad as the Marc Jacobs ones, but, they still pose as a great example of an extreme faux pas.

Hollywood Blvd. meets Rodeo Drive

When looking at this, you may be thinking that this is a new trend for strippers. quite the opposite. This is the latest from designer Marc Jacobs....

I would not be caught dead in these shoes..... I'm not really sure what Marc was trying to accomplish here. If it was to design a shoe that makes you look like a 2 dollar hooker, lady of the night then Hat's Off!!!! he succeeded!!!

Those of you who do wish to look like a streetwalker wearing "hybrid" shoe. go ahead a cough up $495 to look like a HARLOT!!! In my opinion, that's $494.99 too much.

This shoe is just a different version of one of my absolute favorite faux pas of all time: loafers or any type of heel with socks.

(awww... now don't cry_______, I love making you the butt of my jokes!!)

High Heels- A true love / hate relationship

Okay, I like so many other women i know absolutely love their high heels! I love mine!!!! i literally own 50 pairs. Some say i must have been born in them.



They are a true sacrifice for a lot woman. more often that not i get approached while wearing a pair of "killer" shoes and hear "gosh, don't those hurt to walk in?" or "I would die if i walked in those" my answer is ALWAYS, NO WAY, they feel great to me! but i have a secret. i have adopted several tricks to make them a lot more comfortable.



I have found these little inserts at ALDO. they are made of terrycloth, with a little padding under them. the best part is that they have non slip bottoms, so when i were them i don't have to worry about them sliding around in my favorite 4 (sometimes 5) inchers! (they cost about $5, and are definitely worth it) I have at least 10 pairs of them. Did i mention they are machine washable? a major PLUS!!!)



Dr. Scholles makes something like this too....but they do not work as well.

Crime of Fashion

Here are 6 visual examples of a trend that needs to go away immediately!

Gladiator sandals, not only make you look like, well a gladiator, but they also make you look like you have absolutely no clue in the world!

If you didn't already know, these are UGLY!! You might as well wear crocs, or loafer's with socks like someone I know!

I know that it's pretty hard to go into any shoe store these days and not see these things. But use your brain, and resist the temptation to even look at these, let alone try them on, or even worse buy and wear them.

If you want to wear a fun sandal, i recommend a nice sandal with some hardware accent, or even some jeweled straps.

take this invaluable information and roll with it!!!

If the loafer fits.....don't wear it

I was just thinking about a time when i saw someone wearing loafers with white tube socks (EWWWW, i know). anyway, when i saw this i was so disturbed that i couldn't get the words out to describe it. some women have such a problem when it comes to wearing cute shoes. they always seem to have a reason as to why they cant wear them. some common excuses are that "cute" heels are uncomfortable or the ever annoying one that "the heels are too high"
listen ladies, those excuses do not give you the right to wear your loafers with the chunky heel from 1999 with white tube socks!!! seriously? should i even have to tell you that?

there is no way to be fabulous in bad shoes (it's just a simple fact of life). these stiletto's would be a far better choice to pair with jeans. if you think these might be hard to walk in.... you're right. but, only at first. everyone who wears these had to learn to walk in them. (you had to learn to drive a car didn't you?)if you are looking for a cute pair, you can find some great comfortable heels at ALDO (i am a huge fan). it's a great store with just about any style shoe you could want, and another plus is that the prices are not bad.

Happy Shopping!!! and remember, if the loafer fits...... don't wear it!!!
