Lust Factor - Oh My Shoe Goddess

Curvy Divas, you do know how much I love shoes, right?   I mean, accessories, LOVE!  Shoes, LOVE! Handbags (aka pocketbooks), LOVE! Here is a shoe to not just LOVE but to LUST after!!!!                       Balenciaga - http://pinterest.com/pin/85849936618042033/                             [from:  http://titan-asteria.tumblr.com/post/18985257683 ]                            {original source for this photo is  http://fashion-ocd.tumblr.com/ } Yes, they may be 7 inches...(unsure of that fact, but they look it!), and yes they are pointed toes...but that's what makes them oh so beautiful!  The asymmetry, the design, the silhouette, the entire LOOK! Oh- My- Shoe-Goddess!!

Summer Footwear Trends!!!!!!

Nothing says Summer is here like fun pairs of sandals & heels curvy divas!   Especially a great pair of turquoise-colored ones such as the ones below!   I love the warm weather, and I adore the color Turquoise because it reminds me of the Ocean!  These are great to wear with anything for a great casual look. I wore it with knee length shorts and a jersey tee recently. If you haven't yet, it is time to begin thinking about what you will be wearing in these beautiful summery months!  I usually wear sandals, flip flops and wedges! These kitten heels are recent additions to my wardrobe! You can dress it up, or down! I finally have a pair in sunny YELLOW!  These are a gift from one of my BFFs who decided that my birthday was the perfect time to give me six pairs of shoes!!  I wore these with a maxi black skirt and white shirt, topped with a grey tee-vest!    Strappy Sandals are ador...

Have you heard? The New Heel Height

Three-inch heels are making a come-back!  The usual Five-inches and up stiletto heels are still in fashion, but heels are going back to 3 inches! Get, out! I never thought that would ever happen again curvy divas ! I thought the super high heels were here to stay in like....forever! I went from wearing two inches, to three, then three & a half, then four and now I'm quite comfortable in four and a half inches....and yes, I own a few five-inch heels, and those my dears are quite a staggering height, even for me!  But I didn't dare go any higher!  I'm a tall and curvy diva titivating around on five inches at times in my office, towering over all and sundry, because where I work, only the few fashionable ones will risk the look, while the rest, well, enough said! However, when I read the news that heels were going back to the 3-inches of yester-year, at least for Spring , well, I wasn't too disappointed to hear that bit of news! Elle Magazine online a...

Have you ever thought of that curvy divas ?  Let's see, it showcases not just the design talents and skills of the people who create and make them from start to finish; fashion is created from our lives, the past and present, and also predicts future trends! A month ago while I was doing Christmas shopping, I picked up a pair of shoes that I saw and loved the moment I laid eyes on them!   Now, mind you I couldn't try them on because I had recently hurt my right foot and was still recovering from that injury, I couldn't wear shoes, let alone heels!   They were also inexpensive but nicely made so what's not to like?  I posted them on my Oh My Shoegasm page!  I recently wore them (after healing - almost done) and oh my, they didn't disappoint! The style - love it; the comfort - love it It dawned on me that these stiletto heels were in the Bondage style!  I deci...

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!
