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!

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

Shoes, Fabulous Shoes!

There's nothing like a great pair of shoes that finishes an outfit.  You can have on the most darling outfit, but if you don't have the right shoes to go with it, well, somehow you end up feeling like, "Meh", to quote the perfect noncommittal, blah expression! Men of the world, there's one thing you must know, shoes makes the outfit, that's why we women have a variety of  them! In  my quest for nude-colored shoes this season, here are two looks I love from Elle.com "Best Spring Heels" feature. Suede wide-strap wedges from the Gap - $89.99 [Mark  Platt photo] You can never go wrong with Platforms!  If you love having a high heel without the stilts, wedges are the way to go! Paulina Cork Sandal heels from Bebe - $98.00 [Mark Platt photo] Although the linked article is from last year, the color and style are pretty on point for today's look!  The height of the heel is balanced by the platform at the base of the shoe.  Take ...
