You know how much I love the Pinterest right?  I can’t get enough.  In fact, if my iPhone could track the traffic on my screen, all roads would end at Pinterest.

I thought it would be fun to corral some of my favorite finds from Pinterest about once a week and highlight them here.  This week?

SHOES!

Do you want every pair of boots as much as me?  I want them all right now, right here, ASAP.

my favorite pair of heels

by Allison on May 16, 2011 in Shoes, Style · 7 comments

high heels

A few months ago I was accidentally shopping at Nordstrom with my husband {hey, it happens!} when we came across a women’s shoe sale.  It’s not pretty finding a shoe sale you weren’t planning to find.  Oops! There goes the kids’ college tuition!

jessica simpson shoes

I found these Jessica Simpson nude heels for $45.  They were normally twice that, and I fell fast and hard for these babies.  I’ve fought the nude trend forever, thinking it’s just not a flattering shade for anyone, anywhere.  And boy, I was wrong.

I also probably judged Jessica Simpson prematurely, thinking that her life choices were indicative of what kind of shoes “she” would design.  Well, girlfriend has an amazing team of designers because this is the second pair of Jessica Simpson shoes in my closet.

What was your last impulse buy?

bad fashion week part 7

by Allison on May 2, 2011 in Shoes, Style · 9 comments

It was all fun and games in the 90′s when we were being ironically sad and hopeless, wearing baggy flannel and worrying about our collegiate and suburban futures, but the gig is up.  Thick soled shoes are for people who legitimately need to wear them for health reasons {maybe you have one leg that’s shorter than the other?}.

Here’s the situation.  Unlike platforms and other high heeled shoes that actually make your bum look smaller, your legs look longer, and make you all around foxier, platform shoes make you look fat.

No seriously, they do.  The thickness on the bottom of  your shoes makes your whole being look, well, pudgy.

thick soles

It’s just not a good look.  For anyone.

I can’t even wait for Summer.  Like, I’m already having fantasies about taking my kids to the local pool and reading magazines in the burning hot sun while I drink a cold beverage. It doesn’t feel really close in Utah, but it’s just around the corner. I wanted to share some of the hottest sandals [...]

cheap ballet flats for women

cute ballet flats

The other night I was at the mall with Precocious, something that happens so rarely it just felt really weird to type it.  I mean, we never ever go to the mall together unless we’re headed to a movie as a family.  It was actually a really nice, belated birthday present for my now 11-year-old [...]

fall boots for 2010.

fall boots

You’ve noticed a lot of boots on women around town, yes?  I’m so excited this boot trend hasn’t gone anywhere because I’m a huge fan of the boot and it doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the fact that Utah is snowy 9 months out of the year.  I don’t think. Anyway, I’m thrilled [...]

ModCloth.

by Allison March 10, 2010Shoes

Do you know about ModCloth? It’s a sad truth that I didn’t until I met the adorable Erin Loechner from Design For Mankind at the Alt Summit in January. Apparently most of her wardrobe hails from ModCloth, and the girl knows how to dress. I was doing some innocent browsing just now, and look what [...]
