While reading a feature in a magazine on Christian Louboutin's 20th anniversary of making beautiful shoes, I came across an interesting sound byte about the origin of Louboutin's red sole. Essentially, he created a yellow pump with a pointed toe ...
The lovely Lindsay started this post with these words: "Recently, I've been on a "do everything that scares me" kick. I've been making cupcakes on a whim (I never have before now!), made all of my own Christmas gifts for ...
Ahhh, the Vivienne West Pirate Boot. This is the object of affection for many a boot-loving, stylish gal. (This gal, included.) But ringing in at $400-$980 - not possible. Because of the style's popularity, however, other designers took notes from ...

This season, I am boot-obsessed. Even my sneakers are boots. (Oh no, you're not seeing them. Not yet. Not until I wear them, gloriously, on Christmas day.) But boots are expensive - even the faux leather, faux fur kind. There ...
The cure to any "off day:" shopping, duh. Last weekend, we bounced through TJ Maxx and a couple other stores before crash-landing at DSW, or for those who hate acronyms, Designer Shoe Warehouse. It's too easy to walk through each ...
* Hell yes, there are hot pink cowboy boots in there! What feels better in the middle of a cold, grey day than neon western wear? ...
This is a Converse post from someone who didn't get her first pair until she was twenty-seven. I know, I'm new. It's weird. Let's try to get past it, or maybe celebrate it a little with a post about some ...

There's a part of a shoe's anatomy that has been the subject of much neglect when it comes to style... ...
I've always had a love for robots, and the idea of biomechanical... things-that-won't-turn-on-us-and-enslave-us. This also played into my need for flesh-colored shoes a long time ago. Every so often, a robot sneaks into my inspiration board and takes over, as ...
