In between sizes???


I am sure almost everyone, shoe lover or not, has run into a situation where their shoe's don't fit. We all probably have a laundry list of why our shoes no longer fit or how about never fit to begin with. There are several tricks to help modify the size, for example:

1. Shoe Insoles
2. Heel & Toe Grips / Pads
3. Arch Supports
4. Extra Socks
5. Cotton Balls

*** and the list can go on and on. One trick I have not heard, is LAMBSWOOL. I read today in Lucky magazine, if there is too much room in the toe of your shoe turn to Lambswool. This is the same product that ballerinas use with their point shoes. The lambswool is soft and will fill the empty space. By using lambswool you don't have to worry about adhesive wearing or your altenative solution over compensating resulting in a shoe that becomes too small. Lambswool can customized to your foot.


You can purchase lambswool at any dance supply store or online. The fix is inexpensive and a box will provide enough wool for more than one pair of shoes. The catch, it solves the problem with closed toed shoes.

Now what will our other style shoe's solution be????

Cheers,

Shoe Dazzle Update...





I have an update for all you Shoe Lovers.... A package at your door step, what a great way to start or end your day. Shoe Dazzle has arrived. The package was so cute. A pink and purple flower shoe box, awesome shoes and a pink shoe bag. Shoe Dazzle has great marketing now how about the quality of the shoe???


Two of my friends received their first Shoe Dazzle Package (I selected to hold off until after the holidays):

One friend received her shoes and they were not exactly what she expected. She selected a basic black closed toe stiletto. When they arrived she was a bit shocked as they were incredibly high and a bit hookerish. Ironically, while watching the American Music Awards I did notice this being a recent shoe trend. When I say "Hookerish" I am refering to the platform beneath the toe and the height of the heel. Of course I LOVE high heels, what better way to create the illusion of long slender legs then by wearing high heels. Sadly, the pair she received were a bit much. The good news, Shoe Dazzle provides you with free returns and the option to view alternative options. The results to come...



Now for my other friend {the one who introduced me to Shoe Dazzle} her shoes were AWESOME!!! They are stylish and can be worn with everything. What I enjoyed the most about the shoe was the influence of Shoe Dazzle. How was she influenced? It's the structure of the club, your stylist selects 5 options based on your profile. You then pick the pair you like best. The pair she received, we both agreed, would not have been a style we would have purchased at a store, yet having the push of Shoe Dazzle her shoe portfolio has now expanded to include a daring, stylish new pair of shoes. The pair she received are a brown and peach python skin high heel, criss-cross pattern up the front with a closed heel and zipper.

We all know the price we pay to look HOT when we hit the town. No different with Shoe Dazzle. When I tried on the Python Style pair of shoes and walked across the room I did find the shoe to have hints of what a night out would potentially feel like. I have a feeling they might be a bit uncomfortable. I will be sure to report back after her first Girls Night Out rocking her new hot shoes.

Do remember the club is only $40 per month. What pair of shoes in your closet including brands like Steve Madden, BCBG, Chinese Laundry, Aldo, etc. are affordable, trendy and comfortable. Sadly hot shoes that are comfortable are hard to come by, but as the old saying goes...."If the shoe fits buy, it in every color."

Until Next Time,

Cara

Shoe Dazzle

For all you shoe lovers out there...How cool would it be to receive a new pair of shoes every month???

Over the weekend I was introduced to the newest and coolest club...a shoe club called Shoe Dazzle. ShoeDazzle.com is a monthly shoe club founded by Kim Kardashian.

The way the club works: you fill out a Fashion Profile, a team of stylists select a grouping of shoes for you to select from, and you get a new pair of shoes every month.

The membership cost is a low $39.95 and that includes shipping and returns. There are no contracts and you can even skip a month if needed.

Although I have not received my first pair of shoes friends have said the selection is great and they are comfortable too!!!

Visit Shoe Dazzel at http://www.shoedazzel.com/ and sign up to get your first pair!!!

Below are examples of their shoe selection.
