Oh, My Docs!

Oh, I know Docs aren’t for everyone, but before you rule them out completely, stop…and think…are you someone who wears engineer style boots a la Stuart Weitzman or Cole Haan or Ugg? Well, if you say “Yes” to any of the above or styles similar to them, then reconsider the Doc Martens.  They are comfortable,… Continue reading Oh, My Docs!

Stylishly Waterproof

I’m trying to understand my obsession with good looking, comfortable shoes that keep your feet dry on wet, rainy days.  I sit here in, in July, Southern California, in the middle of a drought, and rather than contain my thoughts to practical sandals, I find I can’t get enough of these cool weather shoes.  Any… Continue reading Stylishly Waterproof

Wedding Guest Accessories

Summer is almost upon us, and with comes wedding season.  It seems, more and more, especially here in California, the days of the hotel grand ballroom wedding are taking a back seat to outdoor ceremonies in either beach or wine country surroundings.

Help! I Have Severe Eileen Fisheritis!

It started many years ago.  I’d flown to Chicago for a wedding. I’d managed the packing, got the right flight, travel to the airport was a breeze, even the flight arrived early. Only trouble was, I was in Chicago but my bag was not. Instead of freaking out, making numerous calls to the airline and… Continue reading Help! I Have Severe Eileen Fisheritis!

High Heels, My Downfall

“I can safely say I understand shoe obsession.  But “understand” barely scratches the surface of what I mean to convey.  I love shoes, adore shoes, can feel elated by shoes…the many colors, textures, shapes…well, it’s all so intoxicating.  But even so, I cannot understand when a woman says she feels “empowered” by a multi-story heel.… Continue reading High Heels, My Downfall
