Summer Sandals Gone Sexy
Summer has officially arrived! And with the warm weather comes sexy summer sandals full of fun and wimsy! Maybe no shoe can replace the best summer tradition of them all…..walking barefoot in lush green grass, but showing up to a summer party in a pair of hot sexy sandals comes close!
Here are a couple of my top picks for delicious summer shoes:
All these hot summer picks are from Victoria’s Secret.
Tips To Stretch Shoe Budgets
Got shoes with worn soles and heels stashed in your closet? Shoes you would normally love to step out in again, but the wear and tear just wore them out? Here are a couple of tips to help keep your favorite shoes last longer so you can enjoy them more:
The number one reason shoes are thrown out? Because the soles get worn down. To prevent this from happening, go to a shoe-repair shop and ask them to glue on a sole protector. Experts say this can add up to seven years to the life of shoes!
I know with my high heels, I seem to wear down the tips on the heels way too quickly. Shoe experts advise that plastic tips should be replaced with rubber; But do this before the plastic tips get worn down. Heels are held together by tiny silver pins and if the heel is worn down too low, these pins can be hammered in so deep they can’t be repaired. Amazon.com usually sells replacement heel tips, and you can always go to your local shoe repair shop or dance shop.
If you can take the time to stuff your shoes with newspaper when you take them off, this trick will help soak up moisture that otherwise will breakdown materials. Plus, the paper will help keep the shape, and keep your favorite footwear looking newer longer!
Vintage High Heels: An Etsy Find
Vintage high heels ….. love ‘em! Look at these genuine alligator pumps, circa 1950. I came across this pair of Martinique Custom Made for Nordstrom’s Shoes on Etsy, and instantly fell in love. Alas, they will not fit me…being that they are an 8, and very narrow (aaaa,) but I still can drool over the picture. Sure, they could use some reconditioning, but they look to be in fairly good shape considering their age. These shoes feature all leather insoles and soles, flared heel tips and a sexy 3.75 inch stiletto heel.
The women of the 50’s definitely knew what look was strong yet sexy. I love vintage style….it’s just so classy and dignified. Sigh. Back to my shoe-ogling.
How Much To Spend For Prom Shoes?
A reader recently commented on how expensive it can be to buy prom shoes for his daughter, pointing out that she will have two proms at least to attend while in high school. It made me start thinking about parents and teens and all that spending that goes along with this age (all ages really, but something with teen girls as I am now finding out just sends shopping budgets spiraling!). How much do you as a parent of a teen spend each month on shoes, clothing, and special occasions like prom?
Will/do you go all out and buy whatever he/she wants no matter the price? Or do you try and be practical and buy what is affordable, even if your teen prefers something else more pricey??
And for you parents of prom-going teens that are in search of some budget friendly shoes, here are some possibilities I have found — pretty, and while maybe not meant for longevity and durability, they will fit the bill for Prom night, so to speak! At under 40.00, I would say that these are prom shoes or any special occasion shoes that will fit a budget and be fun as well! Check out these shoes, and more, here.
Celebrity Shoe Fashion Gone Bad
.
Ah. Fringe on yellow shoes is not a good idea in my book. Can you guess which celebrity stepped out wearing these brightly colored fringed peep toes?
Want a hint?
This celeb is a new mommy (Which may account for her lack of fashion sense recently- hormones, lack of sleep, you know…..)
Give up?
The lady in yellow (shoes) is none other than new mom, Christina Milian. Check out Christina’s entire ensemble here.
Got Prom Shoes?
Got prom shoes yet? If you are still shopping for the perfect prom shoe, here is a favorite pick of mine! Not only are these pumps too cute, your feet will love the exclusive “foot pedals” comfort cushions in these shoes. And we all know how much feet can hurt when dancing all night!
These prom favorites feature an open-toe and 4.25 inch heels. If you are looking for a color other than black heels, these also come in brown, fuchsia, navy, and red satin. And the price is pretty nice for these shoes as well at about $85.00.
