Shoe Embellishments

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

If you haven’t noticed, shoe embellishments are everywhere. It’s almost impossible to find shoes with no embellishments this season. Studs, jewels, feathers, fringe and more. We’re seeing embellishments on ever type of style from sandals to pumps. It seems designers are really going wild and having some fun with their new creations. What do you think of this latest trend- Like it or not?

The Artful Shoe

Monday, June 28th, 2010

I’m a great lover of shoes. Not only because they serve a very important purpose, but many times because of their sheer beauty. Some shoes are definite objects of art, and you can tell designers have gotten their inspiration from the art world. Not only are they creating functional footwear, but are also true artists themselves. Here are a few of my favorite ‘artful shoes’.

Crocs are a hazard

Crocs and escalators don\'t mix

So I guess there haven’t been enough Crocs-related accidents to justify shutting them down. Only 77 escalator entrapment incidents reported in the US and 65 in Japan. A three year old girl got “severely and permanently” injured when her tiny pink Crocs clog got caught in a JFK escalator maiming her toe. Undoubtedly, there are a lot more cases that never made the news, yet millions of Crocs continue to be sold and exported. But instead of banning these hazardous sandals, they give us escalator safety tips. How many more little mangled feet will it take to take Crocs off of the market? Don’t get Croc Attacked, get even!

You’ve heard me bash Crocs on more than one occasion, so you know my stance on the subject… nuff said.
