Most people think that when they have a special event coming up that they need a new outfit, and then look for shoes. That is not always the case with me. When you like shoes like I do, you look for shoes and then then something to go with them. Another great idea is to buy a simple plain colored dress, and then add the accessories such as this “Coast” printed peep-toe slingback by Bettye Muller (A SimplySoles Exclusive). Add some cool jewelry, and you have a great look.

I saw the cutest pair of gold strappy sandals on a gal at a street dance last weekend.  I even asked her if I could take a picture of them with the camera on my cellphone, but it was too dark and the pic didn’t turn out, darn it anyway.  So, I’ve been on a mission to find a similiar pair.  Here’s the ones I’ve narrowed down my likings to…

Luichiny Melody Gold Sandal, $73
Stuart Weitzman Zoom-Platform Pale Gold Specchio Calf Platform Sandals, $299
Luichiny Silva Metallic Gold Platform Sandal, $93

Alexander McQueen Pale Gold 198917 Stilleto Sandals, $994!
Enzo Angiolini Holling Gold Strappy Sandal, $100
Steve Madden Fabulis Gold Distress Strappy Sandals, $101 - I think these may be the fabulous winner!

Our niece got married last past weekend and one of the guest was wearing these multi rose print sandals from BCBGirls with a cute little sun dress.

Not only did she look good, she could actually dance in these 4 1/4″ heels! I mean all kinds of dancing including the polka, the chicken dance, electric slide, etc.

Here she was dancing in these cute high heels, and I’m not sure I could have even walked in them! I was very envious.

BCBGirls Saraff Platform Sandals in Mutli Rose Punch are available from Zappos.com, $114 with Free Shipping.  Also available in Black Soft Thin Patent and Gold Mestico.

Shoes4Stars.com claims you will feel like YOU ARE A STAR once you walk in a pair of your own custom fit designer original shoes.  Hmm, I think I’d feel more like a circus performer in these Ronda Boots with the “round circle” on the sole.  But don’t let that pic deter you from visiting Shoes4Stars.com, as they have some sexy (but not too stripper like) high heels, even handbags and bridal shoes available.

Hi,  My friend came home from Colorado wearing You’s green venice heels. She claims they are comfortable, they looked cute with her jeans on, but I am hesitant! I had to share with some of my fave shoe blogs to see if any had actually tried them?!  www.youbycrocs.com  Love your site!  
Thanks! Meg

Dear Meg, Since your email address is meg***@crocs.com, and your I.P. address is from Colorado (Croc headquarters), we can only assume that you are a Crocs employee trying to plug the You by Crocs line.  How many other shoe blogs did you email? We would have gladly showcased the shoes if you just asked us nicely.  Anyway, I kind of like them myself, but would never pay $175 for them (available from Piperlime.com).

Can you help me locate these shoes? They’re these beautiful metallic red heels Blake Lively is wearing on set after grabbing Starbucks with co-star Ed Westwick - April 17, 2008. I’ve been scouring the internet to no avail - would be much appreciated!! ~ladym

They look similar to Stuart Weitzman’s Cherry Patent Leather Charleston Pumps without the ankle tie.  Anyone else know the exact brand/style?

Here are five of the six of us from our TV group.  Jill is missing as she had a class reunion, and she was also missed by us that evening. We had a sleep over and Kris treated us all to matching zebra PJ’s. The afternoon was spent sipping fufu drinks by the pool and the late hours sharing stories. Anyway these Zebra print shoes reminded me of the evening. Black and white is always good, but even better with a touch of my favorite color, RED. I could easily see any of us six wearing these Charles David Prickly Print Pumps (available from Zappos.com) at some point in time.

The latest issue of Glamour Magazine (6/08) tells us to “Dress up your look with high heels. Chunky or platform styles balance out cropped-length pants.” And they featured these L.A.M.B. Women’s Gypsy Heel in Brown, $349.99 from Heels.com.  I like them, I just wish the heel height and the price tag weren’t so high!
