Celebrity Gossip: Another Trump Wedding!

6 Nov 2009 | 10:25 am

British songster Leona Lewis hasn't let fame change her - and she staunchly sticks by the people who have been with her from the start. In a new interview, Lewis, 24, addresses the fact that she is still with her boyfriend of seven years, Lou Al-Chamaa. Lewis says some people think you should ditch the people you knew before when you find fame, and she doesn't agree with that. "For people to think that you should leave someone because, all of a sudden, you're a singer and you have opportunities. I feel sorry for them." Lewis has also kept her residence in the "gritty" Hackney area of London.
Outdoor Fall Season Recreational Activities: Form a Nature Club

6 Nov 2009 | 10:19 am

The fall season is a wonderful time of year for nature-oriented activities. Outdoor fall activities are a great way to stay active and nature can lend a helping hand in many ways. Leaves are changing into wondrous colors and the weather can be just the perfect temperature. Regularly participating in activities such as hiking, rock climbing, nature walks, camping, and other outdoor adventures can be a workout. It's also fun and a great way to spend time with family and friends. One way to be sure you get these outdoor activities in regularly is to form a nature club. Decide who you are…
Workout Tip of the Week: Weekend Bootcamp Shape Up Tips

6 Nov 2009 | 10:06 am

It's the weekend, your time to sit back, relax and enjoy some late-morning snooze sessions. While weekends are great for catching up on sleep and much-needed R&R, they can offset your diet and weight loss goals that you've been keeping up with all week long. The antidote? Rev up your workout routine and squeeze in a bootcamp-style workout (or two). Experts say that interval training, otherwise known as circuit training, is a great way to rev up your metabolism and get over any weight loss plateau. If you're still struggling to lose those last few vanity pounds, your weekend could be the…

Boudoir Stools and Closet Kitsch

galligator

6 Nov 2009 | 1:06 pm

I consider myself lucky to have purchased a house whose previous owner was likely a shoe-lover like me. At somewhere over 120 pairs of shoes, even I have not yet managed to completely fill up this legacy walk-through closet. But, one glaring omission in my closet set-up is the lack of any proper stool or chair on which to sit when actually putting on the day’s shoes. Admittedly, it’s not exactly a crisis - but the daily hopping around on one foot while stuffing my other foot into a shoe would be a bit less comical and more dignified were I to correct this small wardrobe…
Ruthie Davis: Sushi Combo Shoes

If you can’t beat the recession, then work around it. That’s shoe designer’s Ruthie Davis’ mantra during these trying times. The collection of shoe “combos” consisting of one Davis by Ruthie Davis pump and one takedown flat in the same color so you can guarantee that the outfit will match the shoes. Each shoe is crafted from Italian leather with some featuring hardware details. The two shoes are sold together for $698 to $798, which isn’t exactly a recession bargain but you are getting 2 shoes where you would typically only be able to purchase 1. The shoe combo…

There are dozens and dozens of shoes that fit this description, yet I keep coming back to these shoes: Shoes for Lovely People Bombshell $90 $126 at Zappos.com I have been grooving on these shoes since spring.

Adorable ankle boots from Sofft

I will continue to wax obsessive on all things boot-like when it comes to footwear. And, unlike yesterday’sGucci bootsor Sunday’s oh-so-lustworthy Dsquared2 styles, these little booties from Sofft are even potentially budgetable - especially if I luck out and find them on sale sometime over the next several months. Take a look: Sofft ‘Orlena’ $154 at Zappos, $149.94 at The Walking Co. These little pretties have been growing on me since I first glimpsed them about a month ago.

Gucci: Riddle Lace-up Boots

These are not your Grandma’s boots. And, to a boot-lover like me, that is a good thing. Gucci Riddle Lace-up Boot $1690 at Saks.com I love the equestrian-reference of the lower lacing. Add to that the slightly military-feel of the buckled calf details and you wind up with a boot that is not quite granny, not quite riding boot, and 100% fabulous. I love how these boots feel like an updated classic. They are just fresh enough not to blend in as just another cookie-cutter granny boot, but are still classy and sexy enough that you can easily get years of wear-ability from them - whether…

And now here is the interesting psycho-stylistic question: Which do you find sexier, the buttons or the laces? Although, as with all matters of sexiosity, personal taste will undoubtedly figure in your answer, the Manolo has decided, after much deliberation, that he finds laces to be inherently more sexier than the buttons.

Louboutin Manicure

MizzTissa

7 Oct 2009 | 1:51 pm

Inspired by the famous Christian Louboutin’s infamous red sole, the “Louboutin Manicure” was developed by Charles Worthington salons in London. After applying the top of the nail with the clients’ color of choice, a bright red creme is applied to the underside. The effect mimics the most common Christian Louboutin heels, all of which have black leather and scarlet soles. The only down side (besides the idea of black nails) is you need to have long nails. There’s always the option of a nude nail polish on top and red on the bottom.

Winter in the Midwest is no joke. If your feet get wet and stay cold, you can easily cause damage to your skin.

Sharing another seasonal trend with you all that I am sure will be huge this fall and winter: over the knee boots. I’ve already seen them in stores, seen them on women, and heard about my friends ordering them online. These are gonna be big, for all you boot lovers out there. Some of you might already have a pair waiting in the closet to be revealed. Do I like the trend? Sure. Sometimes I don’t like the idea of it.

Ahhh…another weekend getaway to San Francisco has come and gone, and I have returned full of inspiration! Well, kind of.

Comfortable Women's Shoes | Cape Clogs Review

Kirsten Borrink

These are Cape Clogs. Their origin can be traced back 150 years ago to a farm in southern Sweden.They're made of alderwood with a stapled leather upper. Aren't they fun?Check out all the patterns, colors and styles at CapeClogs.com! The style I'm wearing is the Ikebana. I get compliments every time I wear them. If you've worn wooden clogs before and find them comfortable, you'll love Cape Clogs. The arch support is awesome and the fit is perfect (run true to size). For those of you with extra-sensitive feet, the alderwood footbed may be too hard on your soles. I found this to be true after…

Comfortable Women's Shoes | Hush Puppies Azune Flat

After featuring the gorgeous Hush Puppies Lilianna, I was contacted by the company to see if I wanted to try out a pair. Knowing my inability to walk gracefully in heels when my arthritis is acting up, I opted for a lower-heeled flat, the Azune. And I'm glad I did. This versatile mary jane is so practical, yet classy and comfortable. The Hush Puppies Azune has helped me get out of a clunky shoe rut. Don't get me wrong, there's a special place in my heart and on my feet for my Alegrias, Danskos and Wolkys, but sometimes a gal needs a more streamlined shoe. The Azune fits true to size and…

With limited collaborations, the entry price of obtaining a Staple Design product or “pigeon” product has been far out of reach of many, but with the recent price reduction of several STPL x Airwalk shoes, most should be able to obtain a pair. Full size runs are currently available for $10 a pair at Payless.

6 Nov 2009 | 2:44 pm

DC rapper Wale is quickly establishing himself as the most aware sneaker-head in the rap game around these parts. Not only did he get his hands on the Copper Foamposites early, he also seems to wear a new impressive pair of sneakers at every awards show, concert or red-carpet event. So how does he stack up against the O.G. Jay-Z? We pinned the two against each other in this Jordan III edition of footwear faceoff, just in time for the two to be performing in Austin, TX (Nice Kicks’ backyard) on 11/10.

6 Nov 2009 | 1:59 pm

When the Yankees wrapped up their 27th World Series, A-Rod got himself a ring, Joe Girardi got the doubters off his case, and New York placed themselves back on top yet again. Given the sheer size of Yankee Nation, there are a lot of feet that need to be dressed in Yankee blue. And since the parades and celebrations will carry on all weekend and then some, you’re going to need a fresh pair of kicks to match that Champions shirt. That being said, we’ve assembled this list of 27 sneakers in navy, grey and white to help you show your die-hard fanhood, or to match that fitted you…

Shoe Review – Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10

drshoe

5 Nov 2009 | 11:47 am

Thank goodness, Brooks has debuted Adrenaline 10. I count on Adrenaline to fit the most narrow foot, which is why the Adrenaline 9 was such a disappointment. Prior versions were perfect, but version 9 had changed so much from prior versions that it would no longer fit the narrow foot properly. Here’s my post about it.http://drshoe.wordpress.com/2009/02/04/shoe-review-brooks-adrenaline-gts-8-vs-gts-9/. Now however, I am happy to report that Adrenaline 10 rises to the level of fit for the narrow foot that all versions prior to 9 had. What a relief. This is a classic case of “if it…
Shoe Review – Saucony Hurricane 11

drshoe

23 Sep 2009 | 5:52 pm

I have previously reviewed the Saucony Hurricane 9 and 10 http://drshoe.wordpress.com/2008/08/12/shoe-review-saucony-progrid-hurricane-9-vs-10/ and Saucony has now released version 11. Overall I like the changes to the 11, but this model has even less volume than the 10, which may be a problem if you’ve been wearing this shoe for it’s roominess. One of the changes I especially like though is a thicker forefoot midsole which is great for added cushioning at toe-off as seen below. The waist of the 11 is also wider than the 10 providing much better midfoot support and help with…
Shoe Review – Asics Gel Frantic 4

drshoe

16 Sep 2009 | 1:51 pm

This is the 1st time I have seen this shoe and I am underwhelmed. One of the things I like most about many Asics running shoes is that they are generally well structured and stable which makes them a perfect choice for many runners. The Gel Frantic on the other hand is anything but. It strikes me as a Nike Shox wannabee in design without any of the rigidity associated with many of the Shox shoes. This shoe rolls up like a ball with very little effort and anyone who pronates at all would be ill-served by this flexible shoe. In summary, I would probably never recommend this shoe for a…
Brooks Introduces New Colors – Beast and Ariel

drshoe

9 Sep 2009 | 7:31 pm

Brooks is staying cutting edge by not changing the shoe, but giving you more color choices instead. They just released two new colors in the Beast model and one new color in the Ariel model. I am a fan of both of these shoes and have blogged about both before: http://drshoe.wordpress.com/2008/11/05/shoe-review-brooks-ariel-old-vs-new/ http://drshoe.wordpress.com/2008/01/21/shoe-review-brooks-beast/. FYI as of today, Brooks does not have all the colors available on their site, so Zappos.com is a good place to go instead.
Shoe Review – Saucony Progrid Echelon

drshoe

24 Aug 2009 | 3:12 pm

If you are a runner who doesn’t pronate too much and need maximum cushioning or shock absorption then Saucony Progrid Echelon may be the shoe for you. It’s upper is similar in design to the Progrid Stabil 6 http://drshoe.wordpress.com/2009/02/04/shoe-review-saucony-grid-stabil-vs-progrid-stabil/ without the firm EVA medial midsole. It’s mesh cutouts also help if you have bunions or hammertoes. The outsole doesn’t hourglass much which is helpful if you have a wide or high arched foot or just need extra width to keep from spilling over in this area.

A huge trend last year, statement booties are still an essential component of your fall 2009 shoe wardrobe. They’re also some of most fun shoes to buy: not only do you have tons of choices, so there’s almost no way you won’t find a pair you love at a price you can live with, but just for sheer ogling value almost no shoe outperforms the statement bootie. Here are a few things to know about statement booties: Statement booties are TRENDY: They conspicuously embrace one or more of this fall’s trends.

But what about bedding? You know… linens, blankets, pillows, comforters. These aren’t typically made from animal skins, so is there a way to make sure what you’re sleeping in is good for the environment? Is it even important?

Sheath Your Talons - Toned Down Siriano for Payless

We've all seen how many of the designer/mass-market collaborations get toned down to appeal to the, well, mass markets.

The Jordan brand has definitely done it with these, they are the Air Jordan Spiz’ike – Fresh Since 1985 edition and I have to say they are looking pretty nice. Combining a white cement, true blue and fire red this pair of Spizikes is getting approval from sneaker heads everywhere. Featuring a “Did You Know” print on the inner lining as well as the words “Fresh Since 1985″ on the insole this pays tribute to the beginning of Air Jordans. Some people have managed to get their hands on these already but they don’t officially release until January of 2010. You can…

Vans Vault has just given us a first look at their Holiday 2009 Collection, which has dropped many new sneakers. In the collection you can find the Chukka Del Barco LX, the Switchback Boots, Chukka and two Sk8 Hi’s. We are really feeling the Sk8 Hi’s, as they feature not only nice colorways, but a wool upper, giving the Sk8 Hi’s a completely different look. The new sneaker releases are available now at Proper. More pictures of the Holiday 2009 Collection is available after the jump.

Shoe Review – Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10

drshoe

5 Nov 2009 | 11:47 am

Thank goodness, Brooks has debuted Adrenaline 10. I count on Adrenaline to fit the most narrow foot, which is why the Adrenaline 9 was such a disappointment. Prior versions were perfect, but version 9 had changed so much from prior versions that it would no longer fit the narrow foot properly. Here’s my post about it.http://drshoe.wordpress.com/2009/02/04/shoe-review-brooks-adrenaline-gts-8-vs-gts-9/. Now however, I am happy to report that Adrenaline 10 rises to the level of fit for the narrow foot that all versions prior to 9 had. What a relief. This is a classic case of “if it…
Shoe Review – Saucony Hurricane 11

23 Sep 2009 | 5:52 pm

I have previously reviewed the Saucony Hurricane 9 and 10 http://drshoe.wordpress.com/2008/08/12/shoe-review-saucony-progrid-hurricane-9-vs-10/ and Saucony has now released version 11. Overall I like the changes to the 11, but this model has even less volume than the 10, which may be a problem if you’ve been wearing this shoe for it’s roominess. One of the changes I especially like though is a thicker forefoot midsole which is great for added cushioning at toe-off as seen below. The waist of the 11 is also wider than the 10 providing much better midfoot support and help with…
Shoe Review – Asics Gel Frantic 4

drshoe

16 Sep 2009 | 1:51 pm

This is the 1st time I have seen this shoe and I am underwhelmed. One of the things I like most about many Asics running shoes is that they are generally well structured and stable which makes them a perfect choice for many runners. The Gel Frantic on the other hand is anything but. It strikes me as a Nike Shox wannabee in design without any of the rigidity associated with many of the Shox shoes. This shoe rolls up like a ball with very little effort and anyone who pronates at all would be ill-served by this flexible shoe. In summary, I would probably never recommend this shoe for a…
Brooks Introduces New Colors – Beast and Ariel

drshoe

9 Sep 2009 | 7:31 pm

Brooks is staying cutting edge by not changing the shoe, but giving you more color choices instead. They just released two new colors in the Beast model and one new color in the Ariel model. I am a fan of both of these shoes and have blogged about both before: http://drshoe.wordpress.com/2008/11/05/shoe-review-brooks-ariel-old-vs-new/ http://drshoe.wordpress.com/2008/01/21/shoe-review-brooks-beast/. FYI as of today, Brooks does not have all the colors available on their site, so Zappos.com is a good place to go instead.
Shoe Review – Saucony Progrid Echelon

drshoe

24 Aug 2009 | 3:12 pm

If you are a runner who doesn’t pronate too much and need maximum cushioning or shock absorption then Saucony Progrid Echelon may be the shoe for you. It’s upper is similar in design to the Progrid Stabil 6 http://drshoe.wordpress.com/2009/02/04/shoe-review-saucony-grid-stabil-vs-progrid-stabil/ without the firm EVA medial midsole. It’s mesh cutouts also help if you have bunions or hammertoes. The outsole doesn’t hourglass much which is helpful if you have a wide or high arched foot or just need extra width to keep from spilling over in this area.

Sam Edelman Dupree Boots

Just in from Sam Edelman for Fall / Winter is the Sam Edelman Dupree Boots. These boots exude incredible quality. The leathers used must be felt to be truly appreciated. I love this style because it combines vintage elements with premium materials to create a timeless classic. The full side zip adds a nice detail and exposes the luxurious authentic sherling fur lining. The longer I’m in the shoe biz, I’ve come to appreciate the subtle details. Sam gets them all right on the Dupree boots. These incredible & versatile boots will be for sale on the site on Monday NOW!
