Just Some Shoe Quotes to Brighten Your Day!

It's amazing how much fun we can have with shoes, huh? Shoes are a blessing in disguise - they carry us where we need to go while looking fashionable, trendy, and full of color. Shoes also reflect our personality and with so many different pairs of shoes it's hard to not keep "collecting" more!

We recently started a new Pinterest page and one of our favorite folders is the Shoe Lovers Quotes. We thought we would share some of these quotes with you to brighten your day and just to remind you how much fun shoes really are! If you didn't already know that, that is. ;)

Have a great day and remember - you deserve more shoes!! ;)

House Party Shoes!

So I'm having a huge house party this Saturday night... I do this twice a year, it's my chance to catch up with family and friends and see everyone. OK, and let's be honest it's also my chance to let loose and overindulge a bit! And by a bit - I mean to excess... but enough said about that...

Every time I have one of these parties, I start the night off in a pair of amazing shoes that I love - usually my newest acquisition like these which I adore -



But after about three or four Milky Way Martinis and a couple of hours of visiting, I can't walk in them, let alone stand in them - so I don't look so sophisticated any more.  Instead I end up barefoot or in my fuzzy slippers!

This party I'm thinking of trying to wear some cool shoes with lower heels: comments and input appreciated!

I could try these Chinese Laundry flats:



Or these from Chinese Laundry:


But I'm not sure either feel dressy enough for me.

These are cute - but I'm not sold on the color:



I like these J. Renee - cuz they still have a heel...


This pair of J. Renee looks kinda vintage to me... so maybe I could build an outfit around them...



Bottom line - I dunno what I'll be wearing on Saturday - for shoes or an outfit - but I'll definitely be having fun. Any suggestions or ideas appreciated!

The Sneakers of My Heart

Two years ago I was walking the aisle of Winners and spotted a shoe box that said “Coach”. So I ran to it obviously! And when I got there I ripped the top of the box off and found the most beautiful pair of Coach shoes. Now they are not heels but they are what I like to call “My strutting shoes”. I’m very proud of them. They were the best deal ever. Originally they were selling closer to 200 but got them for around 75$. So when I wear them I strut.
Without any further mumbo-jumbo:

You're Invited

You will be taken on an adventure through
the wonderfully confusing world of outfit coordination

It’s about 5:30pm on a Saturday evening. A month ago you received word that you were invited to a wonderful event that you’ve been looking forward to for months. The wonderful evening starts at 7:00pm. Two weeks ago you scurried through the mall looking for the perfect dress. And guess what?! You found the dress. You know the dress, oh boy you know the dress very well. It’s the kind of dress that hugs your curves (it seems almost magic…because sweetie this dress was MADE for you!), it’s the kind of dress that gives your body just enough “oomph” to turn heads and get a few smiles.

You’ve spent all afternoon getting ready. You put your hair up, because you wanted to project confidence as well as poise. Your make up is simple but your lips are a bold and beautiful red. Your eyes sparkle with just a hint of shimmer and your blush is barely there and you look divine. With just a spritz of perfume and a smile of self approval to the mirror you run downstairs to have a congratulatory glass of wine. You’ve done well; you look gorgeous, you have your dress all planned out and you have all night to drink, dance and enjoy. You look at the clock and it says 6:00pm. Your personal moment of celebration turned into a party hour. You run upstairs with only an hour to spare you put down your glass slowly, raise from your seat and walk to your bedroom. You pull out the magical dress and slip it on. You put on your gold necklace and matching earrings, you’ve decided against the bracelet because you feel it may take away from the exquisiteness of your dress. You smile again with a sense of inner approval and you head back downstairs… You grab your purse, coat and keys as you head out the door you feel a cold and rough feeling on the bottom of your feet. In a moment of panic you the flip flop goddess, the girl with the closet full of gladiator sandals, UGGS remembers one thing: YOU NEVER BOUGHT A PAIR OF SHOES TO GO WITH YOUR DRESS!!! YOU FORGOT A KEY PIECE OF THE OUTFIT: THE SHOES!!!

What would you do in this situation?

I’m 100% guilty of doing this. Usually I’ll just grab the closet pair of heels or flats that I can find. However, the “look” I was going for usually is compromised because of this. Have you ever been so wrapped up in other aspects of your outfit that you forget about what shoes you’re going to wear? How do you successfully pull different pieces together to make an outfit?
