Just call me the shoe enabler. If you need someone to talk you into the necessity, the almost mandatory-ness of getting 10 new shoes for summer, I’m that friend. That friend with the shoes. The friend who can justify any purchase. But I’m also your fashion friend. And hopefully your trusted virtual stylist. And my […]

I get asked so many times about how to pair boots with outfits, and I think we tend to overcomplicate the subject. I know I do. But here’s the bottom line. There are no rules. Not really. There are a few best practices, and there are lots of preferences, but rules? Not exactly. If it […]

The right pair of shoes can add polish and style to an outfit, or it can bring the whole outfit down. The same can be said for boots, and it seems that many of you have questions. What’s in? What’s out? What’s flattering and what’s frumpy? Like everything in fashion, boots have changed pretty dramatically […]

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m a small-scale person. My mom always called me a “sample.” And because of my scale, wearing oversized clothing and accessories can sometimes be a challenge. Perhaps you’ve experienced similar challenges. We all have natural characteristics that we have to take into account when getting dressed. Outfits also […]

Why should you take flat-shoe advice from a heel lover? Good question, actually. I don’t have a great answer, except for this. I love shoes. I know shoes. I just get shoes, you know. The way that some people get football or numbers. Neither of which I get, but I digress. So long story short, […]

I recently read a fluffy novel where the heroine started every day by picking her shoes. She planned her outfits from the bottom up. She’s pretty much my soul sister. Shoes can make or break an outfit, so it makes sense to start there. Plus, shoes are my favorite. 🙂 And while there are some […]

If there’s any topic that I feel qualified to speak about, it’s shoes. And like many illustrations in life, it is best made through a story. When Kevin and I got married, we took two pictures with his fraternity brothers. One showed my amazing bejeweled Sergio Rossi mules. The others showed his friends. Which one […]

When we were little, we were fearless. We piled on ropes and ropes of pearls and then added plastic shoes and a tiara and felt fabulous. We didn’t worry about looking a little, well, much. We didn’t second-guess our accessory choices before removing one item and muttering: “Less is more.” Because less was not more. […]

Ooh I love milestones, don’t you? If you’ve been following along, and trying out some outfit combos of your own, you’ve spent the first week of 2018 looking cuter than ever. I’m so proud of you guys! Thanks for reaching out and sharing some of your supercute outfits with me. Now that we’re one week […]

At one time, people were giving me shoe tchotchkes. (Yes, that’s how you spell that word. I looked it up!) Seriously. Little ceramic shoes and shoe place card holders and shoe coasters and shoe books and shoe soaps and even a shoe accent table. That’s when I knew I had a problem. Seriously, though, I […]
