Spotlight On: Pour La Victoire

Posted by editor in Focus on the Shoe Brand

You know, it just so happens that the tough punker/biker look is huge in shoes right now. Studs, zippers, spikes, black leather, clunky boots and booties. But, as all trends do, this look will wither at some point. After a few rounds of Fashion Weeks, the appearance of studded shoes will be a little less [...]

Today’s Best Shoe Sample Sales

Posted by editor in Focus on the Shoe Brand

Lately it seems that every week begins with rainy, gray weather - here in the Northeast, anyway. It’s Tuesday, but still quite gloomy - so we’d better hit some shoe sales to perk up the day and get this week going! A new pair of designer shoes at a slashed price will put some spring [...]

Spotlight On: Lady Double You

Posted by editor in Focus on the Shoe Brand

Just stumbled on a European shoe line called Lady Double You, and I’m obsessed. Glitter, Sparkle, Drama, Glamour - moderately priced? How can anyone resist? These shoes are fancy enough to wear to a formal occasion, but fun enough to throw on with a basic ensemble and make it chic and stunning.
There seems to be no [...]

All Things Ballet Flats

Posted by editor in Ask the Shoebloggers, Focus on the Shoe Brand

Yesterday I was writing for work about ballet flats, and really got me thinking how under-appreciated the poor little ballet flat can be. It’s the most comfortable of the fashionable shoe family, and can be adorable with all sorts of trendy embellishments. But we often seem to snub it in favor of more visually interesting [...]

Some Sales to Take Advantage Of

Posted by editor in Ask the Shoebloggers, Designer Shoe Déja Vu, Focus on the Shoe Brand

If you didn’t take my advice last week to join consistently exciting samples sale website, GiltGroupe.com - well, first of all, shame on you, and second of all, join now. There are some great shoe sales going on, it’s like…shoe sale day, or something.
First up is Cynthia Vincent shoes. The selection is summery, but at [...]

Meet the Zara 1000 Numbered Edition Shoe

Posted by editor in Ask the Shoebloggers, Focus on the Shoe Brand

We all know Zara. Great store, really, an inventory of hot trends made accessible, and all ultra affordable, perhaps a step or two up from Forever 21. Not the kind of brand you’d expect to release a limited edition shoe, following in the footsteps (no pun intended) of more high end designers like good old [...]

Best Sample Sale Sites

Posted by editor in Ask the Shoebloggers, Focus on the Shoe Brand, General

Sample sale sites are a true wonder. On one hand, the whole thrill of the sample sale is, when done online, lost. No lines, no rushing in elbows raised to fend off fellow shoppers, no glory of the chase. But, would we not, for the most part, sacrifice that in the name of speed, convenience, [...]

Fauxs, Frauds, and Fakes

Posted by editor in Ask the Shoebloggers, Christian Louboutin, Focus on the Shoe Brand, Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Stella McCartney

I just found this on another shoe blog, The Shoe Goddess. It’s a “scam report,” or a compilation of all the websites that claim to sell high end designer wares at extremely low prices or great discounts. It’s a really great resource, so you can know for sure when you’re getting taken for a ride [...]
