Sequined are coming back in because they have the power to transform any outfit from eye-catching to stunning. Sure, a few styles look ridiculously hideous and give you an eighties relapse. But there are actually some decent sequined shoes going around. Check out Melany sequin peep-toe pump; a satin open-toe Mary-Jane with pearlized opaque paillettes and leather-covered heels that will gorgeously complement any outfit. I also have my eyes on limited collection red sequin court shoes, Loboutin Pigalle paillette pumps, pearlized paillette pumps and gold sequin sandals. If you’re after something more casual then Pedro Garcia Ginebra paillette flats for everyday wear are definitely worth checking out.

Cunningham's Fashion WeekFootwear Round-up
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 every girl
THIS WEEK'S HOT LIST: The Yellow Box Dart
has made its way to the top of Lori's Armitage Avenue Best Sellers List.The Dart is sexy and vibrant, patent (okay, faux patent) slingback with a thick, corked heel. It's that thick heel combined with above average cushioning in the insole that gives the shoe long-term wear potential.
Over the past two weeks, new styles have arrived on a near-daily basis from one of our favorite brands

Studies show more pregnant women are wearing fashion
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.
