Next comes Shop It To Me, one of the coolest shopping sites on the web, and probably responsible for single-handedly putting me out of business (as a personal stylist) someday in the near future. It’s a site (that’s FREE) that tracks when stores put out your favorite brands…in your size. It completely cuts out any middle-man. This “middle-man” still thinks it’s ingenious!

SF Indie Fashion has a great article called 10 Cheap Simple Ways to Up the Eco Fashion Ante – which I found illuminating and useful.

Check out Laura Dawson’s Fall ’08 collection. I’m in love with it!

Shoes that grabbed my attention


Shoes that grabbed my attention lvshoes03 New LV Shoes Will Spice Up Fashion




"The aggressive shoe is not a new phenomenon. It's been on the runway for a few seasons, but it's more apparent because of the rocker-chick kind of mood that's coming back into fashion."

But skinny jeans and a leather jacket aren't the only way to wear it. These shoes have an "opposite attraction" with delicate, feminine dresses, too.

"Fusion" is a buzz word in fashion right now, Fischelis says.

"I do think that a soft look can be complemented with a strong accessory; it is all about the balance and confidence in how it is worn," adds Fred Allard, creative director at Nine West. "I think that the platform and studded gladiator sandals from this season can be considered aggressive as well as feminine, depending on the woman who is wearing them."

"Ethereal looks need an anchor that's a little edgy," agrees stylist Tara Swennen, who counts Miley Cyrus as a client.

Tastemakers say aggressive shoes go from daytime to evening, casual to dressy, sexy to serious. This flexibility gives them legs as a long-term trend. Macy's and Nine West report swift sales.

You know an aggressive shoe when you see it, but it's hard to describe. Fischelis says the true hallmark is attitude. Swennen touts funkiness. Jennifer Gosselin, vice president and general manager of online shoe store Piperlime, calls the new look a stepped-up gladiator.

There's often a high heel involved, but some kitten heels and even some flats capture the cool-girl spirit. Generally, there's a lot of leather up front but sharp cutouts or straps allow flashes of bare skin. Embellishment ranges from Indian beading to punk-rock hardware.

"Everything is gravitating toward an architectural design," Swennen says. "They're harder on the feet, but the designs are amazing with extravagant details and interesting materials."

Swennen says wearers can save their soles with shock-absorbing cushions and a snug-but-not-tight fit.

Women can participate in this look by diving in with both feet or just dipping a toe, Gosselin says. She identifies Matt Bernson's Barracuda shoe, with its medium-brown leather, double ankle straps, flat heel and pyramid-shaped gold studs as a very accessible, wearable translation of the trend. A peeptoe is a more refined, ladylike version.

"Earth tones are a less edgy place. A cognac colour is for beginners, and full-on black with silver or chrome studs with a high heel is the most edgy and you can take it down from there," Gosselin says.

The dramatic, femme-fatale shoe perfectly offsets some of the menswear-inspired fashion coming down the pike later in the year, she says. "As we look toward fall, you'll see in fashion a lot of androgyny with the boyfriend jacket, and boyfriend jeans with a ruffled blouse - and killer shoes."

For the warmer weather, Swennen likes aqua, yellow or silver shoes worn with black, or darker hues paired with crisp white or sandy beige clothes.

The silhouette works with knee-length skirts, Bermuda shorts and both wide- and skinny-leg pants, according to Swennen, but stay away from short shorts or maxi dresses - the proportions just aren't right.

Studies show more pregnant women are wearing fashion

Studies show more pregnant women are wearing fashion shoes like Ugg boots, ballet pumps, flip flops and high heels, without considering the risks it might cause to them, says experts.

And the reason behind is pregnant celebrities look stunning on stilettos and ordinary pregnant women feel the pressure to keep up, also according to the survey.

Of the 1,000 pregnant women interviewed for the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, 66% of them regularly wear flip flops, 30% wore Ugg boots, 53% wear ballet pumps and 32% of them wear high heels.

Ms. Lorraine Jones, a representative from the Society said none of these shoes bring good comfort to pregnant women; infact, it brings harm on the contrary.

“High heels alter your posture, shorten your calf muscles and place increased pressure on your back and knees,” said Miss Jones.

The survey showed 7 out of 10 pregnant women admit they suffer from foot problems. 37% of them suffer from swollen ankles, 45% of them suffer from swollen feet and 16% of them experience arch and heel pain.

The fashion shoes do not provide the necessary comfort and support that every pregnant woman needs; these shoes are very unsuitable to be used daily, said Ms. Jones.

“Weight gain and hormonal changes in pregnancy have a huge impact on the body.

“Muscles and ligaments soften and stretch because of an increase in the ovarian hormone relaxin, which makes your feet more prone to ankle and ligament strains on a daily basis.

“In pregnancy this places extra pressure on your joints when they are already under strain – which can result in a host of foot, leg and back problems and could increase the likelihood of falls,” Ms. Jones stated.

She goes on pressing the rule that women should instead choose shoes with that 1 ½in heel as this can help the pregnant woman shift her weight forward towards the feet. These mini inched shoes are proven to relieve the discomfort that pregnant women feel while standing up.

Not only that, The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists released an advisory for pregnant women, urging them to follow the following pointers:

1) Wear supportive and comfortable footwear. Choose those with straps, laces and Velcro, as these are ideal.

2) Look for shoes specifically designed with extra shock absorption. If the part of the shoes feels like it can support the arch and the heel, it is the right choice.

3) Avoid wearing high heels as this can place unnecessary pressure on joints at a time when they are already under strain.

4) Avoid crossing the legs or ankles when sitting because these do not only cause varicose veins, it could also strain the legs even further.

Ms. Jones further added some advices saying, if women must feel the urge to wear high heels, they should only do so on occasions and at those times must avoid standing for too long.

“Many of the pregnant celebrities you see wearing high heels in magazines are attending events so, like them, try to keep your high-heeled, high-fashion shoes for a special occasion and stick to a more supportive shoe on a daily basis,” she concluded.
