The Best Way To Buy High Heel Shoes

I wish that buying shoes was as easy as going to a vending machine and putting my bill in the slot and selecting my next fabulous pair.  The truth is, sometimes shoe shopping can be a drag if you do not have the right information, resources and money in some cases.

95% of the women in the world today love to buy shoes and this is a true fact!  The other fact today is that there are many ways to shop for a great pair of heels now a days.  At the store, online or by hosting a private party.  The best way to purchase your next pair of high heel shoes would be up to you.  My first advice is to know your feet and know what type of shoes you most enjoy.  Do your research about designers and stores and this is most important if you are shopping online.  If you plan to shop online, remember that you are sometimes taking a huge risk.  Sometimes the photos that these online stores show are truly not the shoes that you end up getting... so read the reviews.  Additionally, some shoe shops and boutiques feel cheated at the opportunity to establish a one on one relationship with their customers when they shop online.  Some even openly admit that their competitors are online stores and to most this is alarming cause how can you compete with online stores?  People use the internet today for all kind if things and the most important thing when it comes to shoes is finding shoes that are cheaper in price... but cheap does not always mean you are getting the best shoe out there.  The shoes can be very different when you shop online.  You may think you are getting a fabulous shoe for a fabulous price... but when you actually get the shoes in your hand you may realize that the  size, material and color was all wrong.

Now I am not knocking down these online vendors... I think that in some cases shopping online is wonderful but you need to do your research in order to get what you are paying for... make sure that the quality and product is what is being shown online.  My suggestion when you see a certain brand of shoe is to go to YouTube and watch review videos about this product if there is one out there.  Find the company on Facebook and follow them and see what other people that have purchased from this company have to say about their brands and quality of shoes.  Or best of all, become a fan of a blogger... like me and ask them questions about the shoes you are interested in.  Bloggers are great for telling it like it is... and they are there to advocate for the consumers and give you the information that you are looking for.

Shoe buying can sometimes be hard but if you know your feet and know what you like, then it should make the shopping experience less of a challenge.

Happy Shoe Buying!

Shoe Closet Styles & Must Haves

It is true that shoes are a girls best friends... that's why there is must haves that should be in your shoe closet at all times.  Now some girls have a very limited shoe supply and some have a moderate supply while others have an over abundant supply of shoes.  The first thing you need to figure out is, what type of supply of shoes do you have in your closet?

The next thing is the must haves... every girl young or old must have a certain type and color of shoes in their closet.  The reason is, we wear our shoes on certain occasions and if you're like me, you may like to wear shoes according to what mood you are in on a particular day.  Therefore, I like to have a wide selection of shoes in my closet so that I can have more to pick from.  

Some women believe that you only need 1 or 2 colors of shoes in your closet... well let me explain the myth in that thought.  If you have 8 pair of black shoes... then what is the purpose?  People will think that you are still wearing the same shoe all the time right?  So why not get one pair of really good black shoes instead?  Or get your shoes in a different style.  Either way, every style of shoe and color does not go with a certain type of wardrobe so we need to switch it up a bit.  Now men can get away with this method... but ladies, we can't.

So in your closet you should have the following shoes:
Boots, sandal, athletic shoe, flip flop, pump and a high heel and a peep toe shoe.  How your high heel can be defined whichever way you would like, it could be a wedge heel, a platform heel, a stiletto or whatever tickles your fancy.  I prefer one of each in my opinion... that way I am ready for anything!

Now for colors... a black shoe is an absolute must.  I would prefer to have that black shoe in a pump, high heel, stiletto, platform and a peep toe.  Then you need a gold or a silver shoe for special occasions or if you're like me... a day where you want a lot of attention is a good day to wear this type of shoe.  Then you need a brown shoe and that can be a brown boot or whichever you prefer... boots are very nice in brown.  A white shoe, a navy shoe, a red shoe... yes!  Every girl must have a red shoe and last but not least a burgundy shoe... this is a must in my book.  Those are your must haves for shoe colors. 

Now if you are like me.... you will have shoes in almost every color and different types of shoes are good to.  I am a lover of art so I prefer shoes with various design and patterns on them because it makes them so nice especially if you are going to wear a black suite or a grey suite.. to have a shoe that POPS is truly the way to go. 

Designers:  Now let's talk a little bit about designers.  Christian Louboutin is by far my favorite shoe designer because his shoe speaks to me... he is very artistic and his shoes always have a creative artistic flair... and I like wearing art just as much as I like looking at art work in a museum.  However, depending on your personality and your preference and also your age.. you may prefer designers like Versace, Rachel Zoe, Liz Claiborne, Valentino just to name a few... there are some up and coming shoe designers out there that have some great shoes but when buying shoes you should always consider the comfort. and certain designers design shoes differently so it would be helpful to understand the shoe designer before buying shoes.

Here are some shoe style and designer that I prefer and some must haves in your closet... Enjoy!
