Wow, am I jealous or what? I recently toured a friend’s new home and this is her closet, yes just hers. Not only would I like to have this space in my home, but also the selection of shoes! The worst part is that we do not wear the same size so I cannot even borrow a pair… or two… or three… or twenty.

After a long day of planning and shopping for a fundraising event, a couple friends and I stopped for something to eat at the CheeseCake Factory. Not only was the food great, but inside the menu we found an ad for VANELi. We all agreed we liked this Vaneli Polette style (Camel Jaguar Hair withTmoro Calf), as it would be a perfect transition summer-to-fall style. The bonus was a matching purse!

I had bought some brown plaid surfer shorts and decided I needed a new pair of shoes to go with them.  These Rocket Dog Jasper Sneakers were perfect!  I am not much for sandals, so these worked well with my shorts, and although I bought them to go with those shorts, I’ve been wearing them all the time with my jeans, too.  Available from Shoes.com with Free Shipping!

For those of you that wear slippers, try slipping into these Koolaburra Velcozy Slippers. I am not a person that wears slippers. The minute I walk into the house from a long day at work, I kick off my shoes and am barefoot until I go to bed. I just do not see changing shoes for in the house. I’m sure that the Merino wool is soft and comfortable as it takes the shape of the foot, however I am not convinced the sheeps wool increases circulation as it claims. Available from ShoeBuy.com

Soccer is one of my favorite sports, so when I saw these Puma Esito III IT Pro shoes, I just had to have them.  They remind me of soccer cleats, but they are really entry-level indoor soccer shoes. But I plan to wear them outside.  I also have found Pumas to be very contradistinctive looking, and I like my shoes to be very different from others.   Available from Famous Footwear.

It seems like when you hear the word Keds you think of tennis shoes. I compare tennis shoes to athletic shoes, running, exercise, etc. But Keds has some really cute shoes for casual wear! This Champion Floral Mary Jane from Keds is young, fresh and fun. To me this is not a tennis shoe it’s a running errand shoe with style. Available from Zappos.com where they state: Everyday is a vacation when sporting the ‘Champion Floral Mary Jane’ from Keds.

Oh dear, I’m still on a mission to find the perfect black and white combination for work. If only these Oh Deer! Toffee slip-on pumps had a shorter heel, they would be right on the money. I really like the Houndstooth Wool fabric design, and it says the insole is padded for extra comfort and support.  Available from Shoebuy.com with Free Shipping.

I love Masseys.com because they offer an easy credit plan, so you can order shoes with NO money down and low monthly payments!  But I love them even more now because they are having a HUGE sale that you can combine with the deferred billing option and save up to 50%!  If I had to only pick one pair (trust me, I’m ordering more), I’d pick the Bistro sandals by Jessica Bennett (shown above), as they remind me of my Franco Sarto Giros and they are only $29.99 (regularly $99.95)! Shop Now (and pay later) while the selection is good! (and your size is in stock)

When I started my new job, I went shopping for a new pair of shoes.  I found a light weight Merrell dress shoe.  This Merrell Spire Stretch is the lightest weight shoe I have.  They also goes great with all my dress clothes, so I can wear it with most anything.  Available from OnlineShoes.com with Free Shipping!
