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!

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...
