Dazzle Me

So I heard about ShoeDazzle on several blogs, so I signed up, did the fashion survey and waited for the choices the "stylists" picked out for me. I was/am curious about 39 bucks a month, with no obligation to actually purchase would be like. I mean I love good deals on high heels, but I have never heard of Micheal Antonio. I read a blog that said this girl loved her monthly shoes. Soooooooo I did it!!! So here are the two out of the five that I most liked. =)

So can you guess which ones I got??

:::DRUM ROLL::::

Yes, the yellow ones!!!!!

So when they get here, I will try them on, compare them to my other shoes I have. If they do not add up I will cancel. I mean I can find brands I know and love for 39 and under. So if I do not like them why stick with it ya know??

Happy HUmp Day to all you lovely Bloggers, now on to my reading of y'all's awesome posts.

Stop the Madness....

I am on a roll, I have been a shoe buying freak.....BUT OH MY check out all of the lovely shoes I got :::::sigh::::: then smile then ::::sigh:: again!

Say hello to my new 6 babies..

I felt like a kid again when I say these lil cutie pies, Madden Girl, by Steve Madden

$9

These uber cute and sassy as all get out Betseyville's..my first pair ever.

$27

No suprise that I got 4 new Pair of Steve Madden's

I love him!! I have noticed that I really am getting a lot of wedges lately

I love good ole pointy high heels, but with these cobblestones streets in

the little European towns it is easier to have something that does not get stuck in the

cracks every 5 mins

$17

$18.00

$10

$11.00

So that brings my grand total to $88 bucks, now that does put me over my shoe budget, because of my Nine West's I got last week. So I am at roughly 10-12 over...the 88 does not include shipping. Some are from the same one so I get cheaper shipping, but I think it will cost around 30 bucks to ship all of those since there are 3 stores I bought from.

Ouch.

$50 hurts a bit

Sssssshhhh do not tell my hubby

Oh and how bad is that since I went over I figure...one more won't hurt

LOL! STOP ME!!! I just still am over the moon at how much less than retail I paid. So i refuse to have the broken budget ruin my joy, I will think about the budget later.=)

Have a great Weds y'all.

Hugs

Give? Free? I am so there

So not only am I addticted to shoes but I am obessed with bags. I actually just got a new Chinese Laundry one, UBER cute....anyways I saw this lovely give-a-way going on over here. So if you blog about and/or tweet you get extra entries into it. Since I have never won any online contests I thought " what the heck go ahead and enter"

On the Prowl

Almost time for June, I am so happy too. Well DUH of course it is because I have my shoe budget all over again!=) As well though that my summer plans can start to kick off. So far we have a trip planned to Germany in the end of June possible beg of July, camping in France in the middle of July, then my dear hubby has a training class type work errr thingy in August in London(I LOVE THAT TOWN) so going to go be with him for just 4-5days. Plus then August means fall classes will start, my trip back home to the Utah for a week to see my gram then onto Scotland for Halloween.=) Phhhhewww! All done I think? Those are just the for sure plans. OOoh wow the rain is just coming down hard on my windows. It was so nice and sunny here yesterday, which made it so hot in this old house that we had 3 fans in the bedroom. Wait..this is a shoe blog enough of the blah, blah and blah that I should save more my journal style blog.

So because I have a new shoe budget becoming available in a matter of days, time to prowl the scene, I have yet to find those black Steve Madden's I want in a cheaper price. However I did find these?

How lovely are these?

The retro print is calling my name and the less than 3inch heel is awesome for us tall gals. Not that I mind wearing 4-5 inches, but sometimes I do not like to tower over 6ft.=) These are signature Shi's over here at shibyjourney

Yeah it is true at 69.99 plus shipping I might not get more than one pair this month.

Then these wild, out of the normal funky flats are something I think that I should try out? Yes? No? Maybe?...maybe get them then if I do not like them...anyone a size 10? =)

So after going to Shi's I went to 6pm.com, I am glad I found out about this site.

These simple black Nine West's are 52% off!! Wooozah! I need a pair of simple black shoes too.

So then I saw these Betsy Johnson lovelys at 6pm.com too.

Orange,Orange and Orange. The fashion blogs around here have been on fire with this color this spring. Which I notice the fashion part of bloggy land has a lot of the same followers. It is great to see so many of the same people commenting.

Anyways these are 50% off, and yeah at $92+ shipping I would go over budget...um HELLO for miss betsy so worth it.=)

So those were the favorites I found so far, I will still be on the prowl..I think I need to set a higher shoe budget? Or make this blog more than just about shoes? Since I created a purse budget, a jewlery and a makeup one. I know it is sad that I set these limits for me. Just has to be that way, if I do not do that my husband,my checking account and/or credit cards would be argueing every month with me,myself and I.

Helpful Tips..I think

Figured that I would post some helpful things I do in order for my feet not to be hurt by a good cute pair of heels, heck even flats can rub the back of your heel and hurt you. Some many girls stay away from heels because they do not want to deal with the pain. That is smart, you do not want to have shoes that outright cause pain...but the ocassionaly blister, sore heel are worth it for some of the designs.

I have found ways to help prevent all that, 80% of the time it works and I love it....if i really love them and they hurt to bad I just wear them to dinner or some place I will be sitting, then get home and wash the blood out of them....=)

1.wrap some medical tape around the sides of your toes, prevents the rubbing,
2. Put the badnaids made for blisters on the back of my heel before one starts to give some extra padding.
3. Do the inserts on the back of shoes and the bottom, gel ones are the best
4. Realize no matter how comfy the heels are, they are not made for 2mil walks.=)
5. If I have the time soak them in Dead Sea salt, and when I had a foot bath did that and used the massage option. Need to still buy one that is on the 220 system
6. I also well take the shoes off as soon as I get home, elevate my feet, and at night rub this tinglly anti stress cream into my piggies.


What things do you do that help your piggies stay happy??


*UPDATE*

A lovely fellow blogger mentioned moleskin as an awesome helper. I have heard about it but have not used it, I think that would work better than the medical tape.

I also forgot to mention one type of the pads I like to use if I can not get the gel ones I used to buy at shibyjourneys.com are the awesome ones they sell at foot petals. They have so many different types for every type of style. Go check them out.

Oh and FYI next week I will be doing a post on pedicure tips and stuff to keep your piggies happy.

Great Websites

Hey!! How are all the fellow shoe lovers doing? Well I just wanted to put a quick post about some awesome deals and websites that I have looking at.

First off shi via journeys updated their website and it is AWESOME and easy to shop now.

I want to tell you as well to go to 6pm.com, they have some great deals on favorite brands. Which is also the clearance place for Zappos which we all love,but sometimes I know just for me, I hate paying the full prices.

Great News to me, I found out Kmart, YES you heard me right, KMART has runway where they do knockoff's of designer shoes. WOW. CUTE AND CHEAP. I will order a pair and see the duriabilty and such and tell you later.

I can not forget to mention my favorite place to buy, at shoemetro via ebay. This seller has all the namebrans, cheap prices. UNBEATABLE. I order from them every month. Who can not love paying 70 bucks cheaper for Steve Madden, Jessica Simpson and Nine West shoes??

I also read about a website called ebates.com? Anyone else used them before? Or heard about it? I guess I am slow and have not seen anything about it yet.(sigh) I will try it out and let you know.

UPDATE*** As well as shoemetro via ebay I get great deals at gothamcity. So try some of these links out.

Um...I think that is it...OH figured I would show you some of the new shoes I bought actually on me..how about that?? Well like you can argue right? YOU MUST SEE my fat feet in these sexy high heels.=)

Above and to the right are the new Steve Madden ones I told you about a couple posts ago that did not have the price. Shoemetro on Ebay.
