Athletic Shoes have entered the Fashion Market and are becoming more and more cute rather than athletic. Whether you want to look good while working out or you just want a comfortable pair of cute flat shopping shoes, athletic shoes have it all. You can wear them with skirts, dresses, and you will even see them making their way onto the red carpet by big named celebrities. How about these for fancy sneakers:

Cool, Weird Shoes

Posted by kilohana under My Style, fashion trends, shoes, shopping

Shoes have never been so beautifully weird as they are now. Check out these that are weird, yet strangely attractive.

These gold ones are so FIERCE! I don’t know what it is about them, but I would definitely sport these. These should be called Pedicure Time Winking, because you must have pretty feet to wear ‘em.

 

How adorable are these teal shoes. They are a little too weird,even for me. But they are still dainty adorable.

Kinda gives a new take on the Spike heel shoes…lol. The real crime prevention shoe, who’d dare mug you with these weapons on your feet. One swift kick and it’s light out. Rolling on the floor

Now this is a cool shoe. I love love love these! Perfect casual shoe.

 

Shoes come in all shapes and sizes. Go find your perfect shoe…

What’s next Rocket Shoes?!

backwards In an earlier post, I hinted at the fact that this shoe, currently by Marc Jacobs is the next big thing. Well it officially came out on runways in the NY Fashion Week in 2007 right before Winter. The only thing forward about these shoes is the fact that they are "fashion forward" right now. I wonder what everyone was thinking at that fashion show. I think "Stunned" could sum it up in one word. The shoes measuring in at 4 inches high, although quite pretty, can be nothing but horrific to walk in. Imagine wearing shoes, let me correct that HEELS, that you can never apply weight to the back of the shoe or you will come tumbling down. Perfect for Ballet Dancers maybe not so much the rest of us, you surely will perfect walking on your toes wearing these.

One positive I can think of is, it has to be one heck of  a workout for your calves. Imagine a High Heel Shoe minus the heel, it’s ridiculous, yet, oh so sexy! They seem to be slowly trickling into the mainstream and we are sure to see more and more celebrities wearing them. These are sure to be a HUGE hit fast, in the lime light fashion is everything.

Would you trade being able to stay upright with wearing gorgeous "fashionable" shoes? What can they possible think of next, no heels at all??

Shoes

Posted by kilohana under My Style, fashion, fashion trends, shoes

Want a shoe or sandal unlike any one else? Me,too. I despise wearing the same shoes or clothes as everyone else walking around. I like to look out for new fresh shoes, especially hard to find is a unique sandal. I have found one sandal that I am sure you won’t see many people in your neighborhood walking around in. This is the Mobius Hi and the Mono Jane Hi.

imageThe Mobius Hi is a pearlized leather open-heeled sandal. What is so unique about this sandal is that is made as one continuous piece, a first for me Happy. It is also said to be very comfortable. The Mobius Hi comes a vast array of colors, so you could easily wear this shoe, almost, everyday of the summer months. Can also be found in Nylon, with varying heights of the heel. I love this shoe! At a cost range of $190.00-$220.00, I may only get to love it from afar Crying.

The next shoe is a heel(kinda). imageThe Mono Jane Hi is fabulous. It combines my favorite things wedge heel, peep toe and heel height! United Nude states it’s their most comfortable of the season. The heel height is 3.5 in but what’s unique and quite cool about this shoe is the 1/2in hidden platform inside. No one will ever know it was a platform shoe, can you tell? This shoe is made of leather and has a rubber sole, the strap closes with Velcro. It’s a little cheaper than the Mobius Hi, at a price of 175.00. Maybe it’ll go on sale??? But for now, I’ll keep it as my desktop background…..pining endlessly for these 2 shoes….Love Struck.

Jelly Shoes

Posted by kilohana under Good Buys, My Style, fashion, fashion trends, shoes, shopping

jellies Did you sport the old jelly shoe? I know I did, and with pride until I realized how cheap and nasty they were becoming. I think, no I know, my sis first brought the realization of how much I disliked them to mind. She wore these braided clear jellies, yeah you remember those. But they were worn over and dirty, remember that look, not nice at all! So I made up my mind, I would never wear them again…..until, I saw the new jelly. The new jellies are, I hate to say this, GORGEOUS! I am impressed.

They are sleek, sophisticated and versatile. Now in many different styles and colors, I can see myself owning a pair Hee hee. Big designers, such as Gucci, Fendi, and Marc Jacobs, are jumping on the jelly bandwagon. Ranging in price from 40-hundreds of dollars, they certainly have come a long way.

The Joys of Shopping Online

Posted by kilohana under My Style, shoes

internet shopping There are many reasons people choose to shop online. One of the main reasons may be the availability of items you can not purchase in your local shopping area. By shopping online, you can purchase just about anything your mind can think up and all it takes is a few pecks on your keyboard. I choose online shopping because it is just plain fun, to me. The searching for bargains, finding coupons and discounts, and then the anticipation of getting something delivered to my door. It’s like bargain shopping without the foot work, who could ask for anything more!

Imagine never having to deal with rude or pushy salespeople. It used to sound like a dream, not anymore. With the development of online shopping and getting great deals from it, we may start to see an end to regular store shopping. Just think, you can actually go shopping in your pajamas and at home, which saves time and energy. No more dealing with trick mirrors and lighting. You try it on when you get it and in the comfort of your home. If you don’t like it, or it’s the wrong size just send it back. Many companies offer free or low shipping and sometimes they even send you a free return label with your purchase.

If you are unsure of what item to buy or what brand, you can simply read the reviews on the items. I hate when I am in a store and am totally confused about what to buy and what brand. Using the internet I can simply do a search of what I think I am looking for or get help selecting a brand, then I can make an informed decision of what I really want to buy. Just the thought of not standing in long lines, getting frustrated with the parking situation and being overwhelmed by too many people all trying to shop at the same place I am, is enough to keep me out of stores.

You can shop anytime you get ready when you shop online because the stores are never closed. They stay open 24 hours and they never close for holidays. Just think, a store open all the time so you don’t have to hurry or worry about finding a parking spot. By shopping online, you get more of a selection and more available sizes. Some sites are taking at home shopping even further and offering Easy-Pays. HSN and QVC, let you use your debit/credit card and pay in monthly installments after you receive the item (easy-pays), I can’t even put my joy into words! Another plus is that many sites will begin sending you coupons once you purchase from them to entice you to keep coming back. Remember that, when internet shopping, browse around and seek out coupons and discounts for the item and for low to no shipping charge. But beware, online shopping is very addictive, just ask my UPS man!

Wedge Heels

Posted by kilohana under I notice, My Style, fashion, fashion trends, shoes

Hello Beautiful!

wedgeheel  Casadei Wedge Heel

These are one of one of my absolute favorites!

I love, love, love Wedge heels. They are gorgeous, sexy, and comfortable. To me, this is one of the best fashion items that has been invented. But these are not your granny’s wedges anymore. Granny has switched to the new wedge heel! These fabulous shoes have been redone to be more sophisticated, sleek, and fashionable. Say goodbye to the clunky heel and the bulky shoe, Hello Beautiful!

Wedge heels add height but are far more stable than regular high heels. They come as high as 4.5 inches, sometimes even higher, so you can wear spike high heels in a wedge. Stilettos have always been a little hard to master, wedges are comparatively easier. You have so much balance in them, you can stand in them and feel like you are on the floor. So, if you want to wear high heels but you feel unstable on them, go for the wedge. Also, with the sleeker heel they can now be worn with any outfit, whether casual or dressy. You can also find wedges in a boot, who would have thought!

Marc Jacobs Cuffed Wedge Boot

These shoes are great for women who have back issues but still wish to look and feel sexy in heels. I have seen women in their 60’s sporting these high fashion shoes. So, if they can do it and look fabulous, why aren’t you? Wedges are good for balance and they are very chic right now. By just putting on a pair you increase your fashion quotient. But remember wedges are still a heel, so don’t expect to put these on and be able to run a marathon. They are not taking the place of sneakers, yet ; )

What’s not to love about a comfortable high heel shoe? The stiletto is out and the wedge is in. Finally something that makes you look and feel sexy, and their comfortable, to boot.

Take a look at what’s next in heels…..
