MY SHOE CLOSET


People always ask me about my personal shoe closet and how many shoes I have, etc. As you can see, I don't have a gazillion pairs. I probably have about 50 pairs. I am a firm believer in less is more, and I would rather have 50 amazing pairs of shoes that I treat like jewelry than rows of shoes jammed together. That means keeping them in a spacious, well aired closet and not shoving them all together into little cubby holes. If you take care of your shoes, they will last forever. I have pairs in my closet that are over 10 years old and are still in great shape. I also have my shoe closet in my study room not my bedroom because I like to open the door and display them like art when I have a party....XO

More Fall 2010 !!


The "SICK" boot - one of my personal favorites, but I am very sad to say that the buyers did not buy it from me. Women don't realize that a lot of times the best designs never make it to the stores because the buyers think it they are too risky or edgy or not an easy sell. I was so wanting this boot for myself but it was a no go....:( xoxo

Why I'm showing what I wear every day:

A lot of women tell me, "I can't wear heels that high" or "I have nothing to wear with your shoes - they're too edgy" or "I love your shoes, but I could never wear them." So, I decided to take pictures of me in my everyday life to show people that my shoes can be worn with really simple and casual outfits and they make the outfit. I also always tell women that if you wear heels, you also have to wear flats and switch them out with the heels. I always have both with me and that's what handbags are for. I usually walk to my office in my Converse and then switch out with heels at my office; then, if I have a meeting - back into my Converse to the subway and once at my destination - heels get popped back on. I'm so excited because I am launching handbags for Spring 2011 and each one has a section to hold your shoes! Yay! XOXO
