What Not to do to your Shoes

According to Author, Nicole Akhtarzad on whowhatwear.com, there are worst things you can do to your shoes; that is, things you absolutely should not be doing.  Let's face it, most women, myself included are shoe-o-holics! Personally, I don't know what it is about shoes that let's me melt when I see a lovely pair that is constructed with the most gracious care, and a silhouette that makes you swoon.

I. Love. Shoes.  No wonder I had to name this section...articles about shoes....Oh My Shoegasm! The one thing I do dislike, shoes that hurt my feet.  And let me tell you, as a flat-footed maven, I hobble if the shoes are not comfortable.  I have some issues that I will have to visit a podiatrist about...due to running...and yes, I still love to run...go figure!  Let me not drift this convo anymore...let's get back to shoes. 

Check out our fan page on Facebook, I posted a link on what you should do so your heels don't hurt.  However, in her article, Nicole found out from a Cobbler some of the things we women do that we should not be doing to our footwear.

What may those be? When it comes to your sneakers, you shouldn't wash them....um..you mean those stinky sneaks should not be washed?! Well, YES, you have to wash them, but don't throw them in the washing machine!  It goes without saying why...they pull apart easily.

Don't wear your suede shoes in the rain.  They will not get back into shape so easily when you slush through, rain, snow or mud. Do what I do and have an extra pair handy in your car, or under your desk to switch out during bad weather.

Stop over wearing your shoes. That means you should switch them out so you don't wear the same pair everyday. 

What else should we not do to our shoes?  Leaving them in the closet for a better occasion.  Wear those gorgeous pair wherever you want to go.  You bought them so do wear them!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

Fashionistas - What's in a Word

You have heard this word before curvy divas , "Fashionistas"?  When it comes to anything to do with fashion and being fashionable, I am sure you have!  Do you know who coined the word and how it came about?  Well, first of all I didn't even realized that there was a story to the word, much less it being "coined" by any one particular person!  I just thought it was one of those words that came about and became popular because of its usage and in reference to anything fashion! According to Elle.com's Culture News, in an article by Rebecca Moss , the word Fashionistas was first created by Stephen Fried. In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
