I was really hesitant to post these shoes because they are patent leather, and patent leather can get kind of scary from time to time. But you know what? I’m off to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks, and I can’t imagine anything better than pairing that sexy wide ankle strap with a little black number and traipsing around drunk [...]

This could be the Mediterranean food I had for dinner talking, but I think there is something fresh and oddly attractive about these off the wall boots. On one hand they’re completely insane (see: killer death robot on the sole) but on the other, I think they’re glam and absolutely freakin’ adorable. And in fact, [...]

I made a big stink about how it wasn’t fair that they were suddenly popular when everyone except the Star Wars nerds laughed at the red pair I wore on a daily [...]

KEDS ARE BACK IN ACTION. Or maybe they never left? I like Maggie’s description of the Keds studio best:
“Upload any image you want and have it printed on your shoes, or just choose your preferred patterns and stitching. Now the only question is, can you have a picture of your ex printed on the soles?”
$70.00 [...]

Blowfish is already a popular brand over in Europe, but I hadn’t heard of it until last summer when I waltzed into Urban Outfitters in downtown San Francisco and saw their Hobbit boot. True, it’s a funny name and I felt a tad bit like Frodo Baggins when I put them on, but only for [...]

NAOT’s website sort of says it all:
“Flexibility, femininity, flair. Nestle into the softness and luxury of Naot shoes and sandals. Feel the relaxation envelop your being as you slip into the natural fit of Naot’s stylish women’s footwear.”
They’re like Birkenstocks, but sexy. I have a pair or two laying around here, and it’s not often [...]
