What is going on? I’m loving these loafers

Don’t know what it is but I am loving these Louboutin ‘intern’ loafers. Yes, yes I know they’re not a million inches tall like the shoes I typically love. Perhaps something has gotten into me? In this case, it looks like a short man.

What I’m Loving Now

Sorry for the hiatus ladies, I’ve been busy shopping ( and moving  and traveling ).

Here’s what I’ve been wearing a lot of….

Sex and The City 2 Shovie Review

That’s right, I said “Shovie” .  By that I’m just reviewing the shoe situation.

To be completely honest.  The movie was good but I was disappointed by the lack of shoes I saw throughout.  I was so excited and happy in one of the first scenes when I saw Carrie hopping into a cab with those [...]

Joe’s Jeans Does $5.5 M Licensing Deal with Burano LLC to brand some Ballet Flats, Boots, and Casual Feminine Footwear to Compliment the Jeans…

We’ve seen this before. A primarily fashion forward Jeans-focused company decides to try its luck in shirts, then jewelery, then maybe footwear to gain a more sustainable competitive advantage. Take a look at Guess or Lucky. Both started with Jeans and now they do it all- no one really thinks of [...]

Breakups vs. Beginnings.

You know you’re in love when everything, I mean, everything, is simply more beautiful.

That is honestly how I’ve felt for the past year or so and perhaps that is why I have given credit to more shoes that I should have :/

I sincerely apologize for endorsing anything ugly….I blame being in love.
