Shoes

It pretty common to see blog posts and magazine features on amazing drugstore beauty finds. While it’s always fun to score a beauty steal, I want to spend a little time talking about the other end of the beauty price spectrum: beauty investments that are worth the blow to your budget. Here are three big beauty investments that I’ve come to rely on to save me both money and time in the long run: To read the full article, click through to Adventures in the Stiletto Jungle.

Mellow Yellow ‘Lounis’, £61.60 I’m normally drawn to gingham shoes (Or gingham ANYTHING, if I’m completely honest) the way a magpie is drawn to anything shiny, but I somehow managed to miss these cute little gingham wedges when they first appeared on the Sarenza website. This is a bad thing, in that I’ve missed out on them for however long they’ve been there, but I guess it’s a good thing, too, because I discovered them just as they were reduced in price in the Sarenza sale, going down to £61 from the original £88. Gingham is such a classic summer print that I’m sure I don’t need to tell you how fabulous these would be for this time of year, working with shorts, jeans or dresses as required. While the red version is more classic, however, I really love the fact that these also come in turquoise: it’s a little more unusual, but it still looks wonderful in this print, and will work easily with a variety of other colours. The low heels and fabric uppers should make these cool on the feet and comfortable to wear, but as they’re on sale there are only a few pairs left in some sizes, so you might want to hurry if you want to grab a pair.

It’s been a pretty happy week so far here at PlanetShoes. Not only because the weather finally seems to be turning around in the Boston area, but because we’re inspired buy our featured brand of the week: Sanuk! Their motto, “Smile…pass it on” is not just dogma for their footwear; it is a way of life.  The power of paying it forward, even with something as simple as a smile, connects us in unique and wonderful ways that can make your day just that much more enjoyable. Smiles abound with Sanuk, stemming from the comfort of their footwear to the materials they use to the charities they support. One style we love, the Women’s Yoga Mat sandal, is pure comfort from heel to toe. Made from actual yoga mats, this sandal brings the pleasure of yoga to a whole new level. All of Sanuk’s sandals are made from interesting and unique materials, from yoga mats to carpets and rugs. Because of this, the majority of Sanuk footwear is vegan, helping to save the planet and your feet one shoe at a time. Sanuk takes their motto to a whole new level with their charity work, helping to provide actual smiles to children around the world. For nearly two years, Sanuk has partnered with Operation Smile, a charity that provides “free reconstructive surgery for children around the world who are suffering from facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate—healing their smiles and transforming their lives forever”. Inspired yet? We can’t help but love a brand that aims to make the world a better place through something that comes so naturally to us: a smile. “Sanuk” means “fun” in Thai, and we find Sanuk’s happy-go-lucky, spirited nature inspiring and thrilling. Want us to make you smile today? Enter our Sanuk giveaway at www.planetshoes.com/giveaways. Nothing better to make you smile than a free pair of shoes!

I only went into TK Maxx to buy a new bed for my dog, I swear. If there’s a way to enter that store and NOT leave with a new pair of shoes, however, well, I haven’t worked out what it is yet, which is why by the time I reached the checkout I found myself clutching these little studded ballet flats by Miss KG. Whoops. In my defence, I’ve been on the lookout for pointed gold flats for a while now, and as I’ve mentioned in the past, when I see a pair, I tend to just grab them, knowing that even if I don’t need them now, I’ll definitely be needing them sometime soon. These ones obviously aren’t gold, but the metallic upper is close enough, and I think the shade will be just as versatile. It was the oversized, studded bows which really won me over, though: it’s not often that I find a pair of flats I LOVE, as opposed to a pair I just think will be useful, so I figured it would be a shame to leave them behind – especially when they were just £17. As is always the case with TK Maxx, you have to hunt to find your size, and resign yourself to the fact that you won’t always be successful. In this case, although I scoured every shelf in the shoe section (People often put shoes back in the wrong spot, so it’s worth checking even the sections that aren’t ...The post Miss KG rose gold studded ballet flats with bows appeared first on Shoeperwoman.

Shannon is a big reason why the ShoeMall site always looks so nice.  She’s a web designer, and you can’t do what she does without a good sense of style, so let her tell you which shoes are her favorites among the hundreds she sifts through every day on the web.  Not many people know ShoeMall like Shannon does.  So listen up, because she’s picked out few gems that you just have to see!  She even mentions what she might wear on her wedding day.  Here’s a hint: this farm girl’s staying away from the traditional heel.  1) Fergie Women’s Bleecker Slip-On I love wearing flats and slip-ons to the office! They are so comfortable and look great dressed up or down. The Bleecker slip-on adds an extra dose of style with its all-over cutouts and neon pink underlay accent. Very fashion-forward! 2) Relic Norwood Satchel I am obsessed with handbags—especially this awesome satchel! I not only LOVE the Relic brand, but I also adore the cute hardware details that accent each bag! 3) Jessica Simpson Rangle Sandal I just got these sandals, and I wear them with everything! I love the color and style versatility. They look great with jeans or shorts and are fab with a flowy summer sundress! 4) New Balance Women’s Oxford Having the right pair of running shoes is critical when training for a race, and this New Balance style will keep up from start to finish! It’s ready for any terrain I’ll come across and is still breathable enough to keep my feet cool. 5) Very Volatile Women’s Tombstone Boot I’m getting married next summer, and I’ve been scoping out shoes that I can wear with my dress. I grew up on a farm and am not much of a high heels girl, so this Western-inspired style from Very Volatile may just be the perfect pick for my big day! 6) Steve Madden Women’s Buddies Sandal The weather is warming up in Wisconsin, and I can finally wear my favorite type of sandals—GLADIATORS! This sandal has an edgy and sleek look to them—perfect for a night out! 7) Roxy Women’s Firefly Crossbody Bag When my guy and I go to car shows, the last thing I want to do is carry around a ton of stuff. This stylish crossbody bag is big enough to hold the essentials like my phone, wallet and lip-gloss. It’s also lightweight, so I’ll stay comfortable on hot summer days! Vibram Wopmen’s Fivefingers Alitza Slip-On Every 4th of July, we go up to our cabin and watch the fireworks out on the lake. This slip-on is easy to wear while launching the boat, and it’s comfy enough for me to relax in all weekend long! Plus, anything that is a breeze to clean is a must-have for me! 9) Roxy Women’s Swim In Hat This is the next purchase on my list! I think it would be perfect to wear when fishing off the dock in the hot summer sun! 10)  Franco Sarto Women’s Hallie Sandal Even though I’m not used to walking in higher heeled shoes, I think I could handle this hot little number! I also love the sassy straps and neutral color that will go with almost anything in my closet! Intersted in other 2013 recommendations? Check out Kevin’s and Adrienne’s picks from this Spring!
