This summer I got into the jogger pants craze.  I found these orange cropped joggers at Macy’s.  I bought them about two months ago, but never wore them because I could not find a matching top or heels.

Then, while perusing shoes on the Macy’s website, I stumbled upon these Madden Girl Digitize heels.  They are round toe sandals with rhinestone accents.  I bought mine in “bright floral multi” and they are beautiful with purple and yellow with specks of orangey brown.  I knew these would be the heels paired with the joggers.  Now if only I had a top… (more…)

In a June post, I spoke about being complimented on a pair of heels I was wearing while in line for Communion.  What I didn’t mention was that I put these sandals in a donation bag.  I decided to wear them one more time because I could not find anything else to wear.  Go figure!  The compliment saved these shoes and now they are being featured on the blog this week.  (more…)

Not too long ago, I received an email that surprised me.  A nice woman from Australia connected with me using the Contact form on my website.  She needed shoes for her son’s wedding and wanted to know more of my thoughts on the Enzo Angiolini Leluna sandals I featured in week two of my blog.  (more…)

My love affair with fringe continues.  This time, the fringe is braided, loose, and carefree.  Swishing with every move, it adds a playful personality to the GUESS Carlene sandals.  I also love the multi-row ankle strap.  These standout details are definitely eye catching.  It’s hard not to feel a “notice me” vibe when sashaying in these boho, flirty, simple, sexy heels!     (more…)
