Who gives a rap about an Oxford comma?
Well, I am giving a rap about Oxford booties. Normally I’m disinclined towards the twee, but there’s something that’s just so filled with personality about these shoes. It’s like your feet are making a smartass comment that’s actually smart. Plus they go great with trousers or with skirts, and don’t only go with the... »
ZOMG, shoes!
I actually don’t give a flying cuckoo about shoe brands, although from looking back over what shoes have caused this shoe-shopping hater to pause and drool, you’d totally think I was. The bootie on the left? Marc Jacobs. I like a lot of his shoes. But I’ll wear Payless if I’m confident it’ll last a... »
When Cinderella needs an adjustable slipper: making shoes fit
In April I found the holy grail of spring shoes: a pair of Skechers that were incredibly cute, paired just fine with my summer dresses, and that were built to support the food perfectly. Unfortunately, they were just a little too tight in the right heel. I bought them anyway, assuming that once I... »
Fascinating – sandal
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a shoe quite like this one before. Would you wear it? With what? Share on Facebook »
5 Items to End Torture by Shoe
I admit it, it’s a personal fantasy of mine to have a pair of really good walking shoes that support my feet while looking fabulous on a dance floor and walking all over downtown Minneapolis to try out multiple dance floors. Thus far I’ve found shoes that almost make it, but all fall just... »
Interview Series: the Shoes
One of the big stumpers for me when assembling an interview outfit is the shoes. This has become so much of an issue that I often plan my wardrobes from the shoes upwards. It is one of the more dubious aspects of being a female in the workplace: all too often, your shoes and... »
Sponsor Posting: Marshalls Shoe MegaShop
Marshall’s is a Minnesota-Wisconsin standby for brand-whores who can not afford the brands on first run. On today’s walk through I saw Tommy Hilfiger, Franco Sarto, Guess and hordes more that didn’t do as good a job making it past my filters. While I only shop Marshall’s a few times a year, usually for... »
Lane Bryant and Shoe Trader
I’m seeing a lot more shoe and clothing store hookups lately – Old Navy and PiperLime, Marshall’s is launching a whole new program (review pending – full disclosure: I got a special request from Marshall’s to be followed up on shortly) and now Lane Bryant as in the mall retailer Lane Bryant has set... »
ZOMG Shoes – Old Navy
Old Navy straddles the local-source outsource thing, offering cheapie shoes in-line with its low-cost brand clothing within its own site, and then partnering with PiperLime shoes, which as far as I can tell is aimed at people who wear Old Navy but who speak the secret language where we are judged by the expense... »
ZOMG Shoes – Torrid
Call me a dreamer, but I don’t think for a single second that fashion and comfort need live separately when it comes to shoes. Yes, I hear a lot of crap about “suffering for beauty” and again, I point to foot binding traditions, hammer toe and an inability to chase the paper boy as... »
