Spring Fashion News, makes my feet flutter!

January 29, 2010 Michelle fashion, Shoes

I can’t wait for spring, and I am dying for wedges! We know this, so when Style.com reported on them, I just had to share:

the BRIGHT side

tila march’s colorful suede wedges

“One of the brightest trends we spotted at the recent pre-fall shows was blue suede shoes. And red suede shoes, and green suede…well, you get the picture. We thought we’d have to wait until summer to slip our feet into a pair, but leave it to French editor turned designer Tamara Taichman to be one step ahead. Come the warmer weather, her yellow cork-soled wedges will pair nicely with the vibrant color-blocked ensembles designers have been showing, but until then, they’ll look great with gray tights. Does this mean optimism is officially back in style?

Dead Winter Days= Dreaming of Spring Feet!

January 13, 2010 Michelle fashion, Shoes

We are now in the dark days of winter, where the fun and anticipation of holidays is over, and now we anxiously wait for spring. I love my boots and tights; I really and truly do. My collection is perfect and I wear either, or both almost everyday. But deep down inside, my feet are already itching for spring and summer shoes!

Pretty painted toe nails, sumptuous sandals, cute flip-flops, killer wedges! *sigh* I’m especially looking forward to wedges. I happen to be getting married and honeymooning this spring. My mind is wandering with all the pretty wedges I want to wear to wander around some tropical locale!

I’m slowly thinking of a check list to the kind I need:

White cork
Black Wood
Brown/bronzy
A fun colorful pair

Shoes and packing are a painful topic for me, since I usually want to take all of them and should probably only take 3 at most. I like wedges the best. Since I’m pretty short, the height is always the biggest plus, and the solid base doesn’t make my feet hurt. Here a few pair I’m lusting after for spring/summer:

My Stiletto Saviour

November 2, 2009 Michelle fashion, Shoes

As a mid-western girl living abroad in Sweden, I find myself clinging to any flats or wedge heel shoes — this city is riddled with cobblestones. I picked only my favorite shoes to bring with me because I only had 3 suitcases when I moved overseas. For 8 months, ALL of my cute shoes remained in the closet. That is, until I came home to the US for a visit and found these: http://thesolemates.com/

Discreet and easy to use, the SoleMates High Heeler™ attaches easily to most stiletto and kitten heels. By increasing the surface area on the base of the heel, it reduces the pressure on this area and prevents the heel from sinking into grass or falling into cracks!

The patented design of the SoleMates High Heeler™ is mechanically engineered to fit snugly on most heels and yet the flexible material grips securely without damaging the heel or compromising the aesthetics of the shoe.

I don’t care who you are; you have a use for these. City grates, grass, cobblestones, or just simply keeping your best shoes in tip-top shape — these are a shoe LIFE SAVER!

They even ship internationally…. so considerate!! Thank you Sole Mates!
