Unprepared

So yesterday I received the following question…

So shoe wise what would you have done diff?

 

This really got me thinking that for all the over packing, outfit planning, and perfect shoe searching I did. When it came to my shoe game for Europe I felt totally unprepared.

 

Seriously, if I could do it all over again I would pack a pair of black on black chuck taylor’s and call it day lol. Because for all the walking, bad weather, and public transportation the hubby and I did that would have been the most comfortable choice.

 

Additionally, while walking through the various cities in Europe you know I was peeping everyone’s shoe game and they surely don’t do heels unless it’s a special occasion.  Everyone there wears flats or sneakers to accommodate their lifestyle.

 

So why is it that we kill ourselves every day to Rock heels? Is it because our streets aren’t made of cobble stone? Or because every image we see on TV, in magazines, or billboards of women they are rocking 6inch heels?

Morning Shoeluvs!   I’m back and very excited to share the details.   Before I left I was complaining about the hubby and I trying to Packing Light. Well from the title of this post you can tell we failed miserably LOL.   Yup! We actually ended up taking 1 HUGE suitcase + 1 Small suitcase + 1 over stuffed bookbag + 1 camera bag, which = Too much stuff. Especially, since we were trucking through Europe via planes, trains, and buses.  Dragging our bags through Rome, Florence, Venice, Paris, Amsterdam, and Brussels, and the load was heavy as heck [...]

“Strutting in your Stilettos” SSS 401

That’s right luvs, I have saved the best, “Shoe Shopping Successfully” (SSS) segment for last.  It’s very evident that almost every girl not only likes heel but also owns a pair, and some have even taken that 6 inch leap without first learning how to walk in them. So I thought I would do you all a great favor and take everyone back to the basics, and show you the proper and sexy way to strut your stuff like Beyonce; Kim Kardashian: La La; Angela Simmons; and other fabulous celebrity diva stiletto stepping these days and less like a newborn [...]

Soooooo here it goes, the honest to goodness Uncomfortable Truth...Just because the shoe looks good doesn’t mean it feels good (lol)  A fact my friends and I were painfully reminded of over that weekend, and one of the many [...]

A Step Above Average Shoes

JimmyChoo

“SSS 301“   SOURCE   Here’s a little fact that many of you will soon discover “not all heels are created equal”, if you haven’t done so already.  Shoes are a fierce accessory that you can purchase in just about any store you walk in these days. They will become the perfect compliment to your outfit allowing most of us to become absent minded of the basic principal, “Quality over Quantity” which is a true factor for shoes. Bear in mind, there are huge differences in quality from one brand of shoe to the next. In this segment of Shoe [...]
