Gotta love the spikes

Everywhere I look there are shoes with spikes, I love them I really do. Definitely a multi-purpose item; a fashion must have and a weapon all in one!

Friday feets

Yey its the freakin weekend! Well not so much freakin' anymore, more like just the weekend. Yes this is a blog about shoes, I know, I know. But what do you put (or squish or smash on sad occasions) into shoes?? Feet!! Take at least one day a week to check out and care for what is going on with those things below your ankles that carry you here and there. Our feet, which some of us bigger feet women take for granted just because they are not the perfect size 9, allow us mobility of many things. Start luvin' what your mama gave you, because unless I have missed the boat again, there is not a surgery or diet pill available to make your feet smaller.
What is your toe situation looking like today???

I'm hooked on Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish. They last for at least 2 weeks through workouts and high heels.

Friday morning Chuckle

I had the pleasure of meeting a quirky, beautiful and talented makeup artist named Tracey Brown. I met her at what was supposed to be a blog writing instructional but turned out to be much more! Tracey gave some new make up tips and skincare tricks. So this morning I opened my feeds and came across on of her posts from 2011 titled 'Don't Do That: Serena Williams at Pre Wimbeldon party'.
 http://blingingbeauty.com/?p=8948 I was cracking up from her comments that read, "... And that hair.  I have made my daughters promise that when I get senile they will put my wig on straight.  I’m not going out with crooked hair....And the patent leather eyebrows and creepy-crawler eyelashes just “bug” me...." I had to look at the picture of Serena again to see what are patent leather eyebrows to discover I been guilty of patent leather eyebrow a day or two. Definitely check out her Tracey Brown @blingingbeauty.com, because there aint no use in going out with some to die for shoes on if you got a crooked wig and the wrong make up. Anyway, Happy Friday everyone!

Walter Steiger Curved Heels

I seen these shoes some time ago but it didn't exactly catch on for me. But these are super cute!! Problem for me is the price of these bad boys ($1295 Barneys.com).

But there is hope in sight for us ladies who dare not spend that (damn it we just can't afford it) is Targee by Report Signature!! Super cute and they go up to a size 11! They come in black and this nude color.

DIY Cap toe heels or spiked shoes

I came across a couple of nice do-it-yourself videos in my search for some cap toe heels. I also came across another in search for some spiked heels. Thanks to the ladies who made these videos, now anyone, no matter what size shoe you wear can enjoy these current fashions.

Designers are wising up

I just so happened to slide by Aldo's website and noticed they now carry half sizes. Hmm what does this mean for me? I've been anti-Aldo since I discovered their shoes run AT LEAST a half size smaller. The site states  they added half sizes due to "popular demand". I smirked when I read why they added half sizes. A smart idea to do so but how about just the plain fact not many people buy their shoes BECAUSE THEY run small. ITS ABOUT TIME! Wheew ok, I'm done venting. I'm going to go by the Fairfield Mall Aldo store and check out their shoes to see if adding half sizes improved their sizing overall!

Report Signature Columbus thigh high boot get it while you can!

Report Signature

Hurry, click the link above these are available in black size 10 from The Robe Boutique online!!!

Be naturalicious

Yes I made it to the be naturalicios event in Oakland!! I met some wonderful people and learned some great techniques for natural haircare

Metal heels are in!

If you seen the latest from the Batman series is 'Dark Knight Rising". Catwoman has some meeean high heel boots. In the movie, the shoes she has on has a metal heel which she uses to corner a bad guy (sorry spoiler). But apparently metal heels, or the "cigarette heel" is in. What do you think?? I really like the Sam Edelmans in the gold and black.

Shoe stretcher and shoe stretcher spray

So I had to find out the hard way you pretty much need both. The shoe stretcher and a shoe stretcher spray. That is unless you have time to spray your shoes with the spray then walk around in them for 12 hours. I also had to find out after ordering the wrong kind, which ones I need. Both types are available at most local shoe stores or Amazon.com.

FOR LOW HEELS

TOE BOX STRETCHER FOR HIGH HEELS AND BOOTS

SHOE STRETCHERS DONT MAKE YOUR SHOES LONGER!!  Just buy the right size so you don't walk around like this:

The invisible or "floating" heel

So do "real" people wear these kinds of shoes? I always see pictures of celebrities wearing them, better yet walking a short distance to their car or posing for pictures in them. Not actually shopping or walking very far in them. Maybe they fall into the shoe category of 'looking so damn good but hurting so damn bad'. Any thoughts?

Guiseppes

Walking on sunshine (literally)

I don't know about you but I always get a good laugh when I'm leaving the club and see women tip toeing to the car like they are walking on a hot skillet. Or walking on the outsides of their shoes because they hurt so damn much because they just had to wear those shoes!!
Knowing very will they were too small, too narrow, had no support, had no padding........

Fairfax 3

These are Fairfax 3 by Report Signature. They came out 2 winter seasons ago, but are still hot and still in. For those who don't know, Report makes shoes and boots up to a size 10. Of course the size 10's and 11's vanish first. I'm hoping Report does another release this winter, I have black but I waited to long hoping the cognac would go on sale and missed out! On the models I've seen wearing these boots skinny calves made the boots look baggy, but women wearing these boots with bigger calves (muah) made the boots look great.

Peep toes

I love peep toes. I also hate peep toes. I love the peep toe shoes that give a "peep" of your toes. High heel shoes that let the first 3 toes hang out I hate.
Love:
Jimmy Choo's (to the left)

Jessica Simpsons more affordable (sizes up to 11!)

These are a few of my favorite shoes (hey that rhymes)

I was watching TMZ and this girl mentioned she has eaten cup of noodles for a week for every meal just to save to get a pair of shoes. My thoughts were she is obivously nuts and probley has no children. Here are my favorite designers; some of them have shoes that go up to a size 12, ALL of them have shoes that go up to size 10. I wouldn't post or give a damn about them if they did not go up to a size 10. Don't you hate going in the shoe store crossing your fingers and toes hoping the have that size 10, 10.5 or 11!!!
