I was in Omaha yesterday and got to see the new DSW store for the first time, and can you believe I didn’t buy anything there?!  I can’t either, but I did manage to buy 5 (yes, five) other pairs of shoes! 

Shes shown above are from Famous Footwear (BOGO plus coupons)…
What’s What by Aerosoles Saddle Up Black Mules I think these are being phased out and replaced by the Aerosoles Cinch Worm Mule (I want these in brown!)
Eurostep Over The Top Brown

And these from were from Kohl’s (on clearance, my middle name)…
Union Bay Brown Bits Loafers
Mootsies Tootsies Never Wrong Black Satin Heels I have the the perfect black velvet dress with rhinestones to wear these with - problem is I’ve never had an occasion to wear the dress yet, but if I do, I’ll now have the perfect shoes for it!
Mootsies Tootsies Mo Amust in Dark Brown I already have these in Black and have worn several times, so think these may make good church shoes.

My absolute favorite brown mules are Aerosoles. So I’m partial to that brand when it comes to comfort and style.  Imagine my delight when I discovered the Aerosoles Outlet!  All of the shoe styles below are only $19.99 each!!  Regularly priced from $59 to $110!  Click on the pics for more details! I think the Tuscany peep toe mary janes are calling my name!

P.S. Did you know you can have an Aerosoles Shoe Party?  Wish I lived near an Aerosoles store!

Everlast seems to be diversifying their product line from not just boxing products, but to include fitness training products as well. The fine folks from Everlast (thanks Christine!) sent me these Spirit II Fitness Trainers in White/Blue to test out, and I love ‘em! I’ve been thinking about investing in a new pair of cross-trainers, and I’m usually partial to Nike shoes, but these are awesome! Not only are they comfortable, but cool looking to boot! And the best part, they are afforable at only $39.99!

From their site… Now, you don’t have to sacrifice style for support Twin Air Bag cushioning provides maximum comfort and stability Genuine leather uppers offers improved breathability Double mesh panels provide ventilation, keep you cool and comfortable Reinforced lateral support for stability for strength training.

I had my daughter take a pic of me actually wearing the shoes, but the flash on my digicam illuminated the reflective material.  Now if I could just get motivated about walking/running, I wouldn’t have to worry about not being seen in the dark!

Valentine’s Day can be a bit depressing if you don’t receive anything from someone special.  So, I think people should treat themselves! A high percentage of people actually send themselves fresh flowers.  But flowers die.  Buy yourself some shoes!  I’m not a big fan of Birkenstocks, but I like these “Valentine’s Day” Birki’s Dorian clogs.  I can actually see myself wearing them.  And Zappos.com is known for Free Overnight Shipping, so I’ll have them in time to celebrate… Happy Valentine’s Day to me!

What Kind Of Women’s Shoe Are You?

I bought these (r)elativity Charm black ankle boots at Herberger’s. My friend had gotten a pair last week, and I fell in love with them.  So, when another friend and I went shopping on Monday, I just had to have them, especially since they were on sale. I wore them out on the town for New Year’s Eve!

I couldn’t find a link/pic of them online, so you get to see my actual pair above!  I did find some similar styles online if you want to be as chic as me…

I had been eye’ing the Rialto Patch Stick Mules on Kohls.com (sold out now), but couldn’t justify spending $45 on another pair of brown mules (I think I have over a dozen pair now). So while in Denver last weekend (NU vs CU game sucked), I did my standard shoe shopping.  I found these I-swear-exact-replicas made by White Mt. at Ross for only $14.99!  Sold! Not sure I like them as well after wearing them as my pant legs covered the lightest brown, and the darkest brown is almost black looking. Oh well, I’m not out much. I couldn’t find them online for you, but I did find some other White Mt. Darius Patchwork Mules that I may have to invest in!

The day after Thanksgiving is coined “Black Friday”, the biggest shopping day of the year for retailers.  So I thought this would be a great day to finally upload my pictures (click thumbnail for full pic) of me shoe shopping at Harrod’s while on my trip to London. I can only imagine how packed the famous department store is today!

I used to get up early to hit all the Black Friday sales, but found it’s easier to shop from home via the internet and avoid the crowds. A lot of stores offer the same if not better deals online and most offer free shipping to your door - can’t beat that! Click here for my top shopping deals!
