Yummy! Don’t you adore the sweet vintage patent color of these Mary Jane styled flats from Juicy Couture? They call it “Lilly Pink”, I call it “De-lish!”. Reminds me of a big bowl of creamy strawberry ice cream. $154 @ zappos.

Lilly Pulitzer Color In Bloom Ballet Flat

These lovely flats from Lilly Pulitzer are a Gem. The enamel & crystal flower is really a spiffy vintage styled embellishment. The flat comes in three colors, I prefer the white as pictured above – but it also comes in “Grass Green” and “Princess Pink” for those who prefer more color. $261.95 @ zappos.

Irregular Choice Spring/Summer 2008 Collection

Vicki — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 21:37:52 +0000

I like Irregular Choice Shoes for a couple reasons, first they definitely live up to their name and offer a somewhat offbeat yet trendy look, secondly they are well-priced, usually ringing up at under $100 per pair.

The Spring/Summer collection really caught my eye this year, and there are several pairs I desire to own myself. Take a peek at the fresh looks, bold designs, and unique style’s available at a fraction of the cost of a pair of Mega-Designer Shoes:

Prada Miu Miu Fall – Winter Women’s Shoes On Sale

Vicki — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 14:38:30 +0000

Rafaello Network is having a huge sale on Miu Miu, this a great opportunity to pick up on a great value. Miu Miu is the youngest Line by Prada.

Here is my Sale “Wish List”.

1. A great staple for Fall, a pair of black flats. This style works for those wet and slippery fall days when sensible and fashionable must work together. I like the lacing and feminine bow on this shoe, and the simple yet elegant styling of the shoe.

2. This Grey peep toe flat is THE Fall Look, It will go with everything , the black and grey suede bows are very ladylike without being an overstatement. These shoes will move from work to dinner, to late night fun -

3. Dress them up, dress them down – this pair will go anywhere with me. The chocolate brown suede combine with the pearly buttons and red accent to really make this a terrific looking shoe.

4. Well Heel Loafers, my fall wardrobe wouldn’t be complete without a great pair of penny loafers!

5. Last, I’ve chosen the leather round toe pumps. The jeweled cluster and bow add that touch of femininity the season calls for while the studs adorning the shoe keep it from being too fufu-ish.

What’s New: Bobbi Blu Footwear

Vicki — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 00:33:37 +0000

I hadn’t noticed the Bobbi Blu label until I got my September issue of Elle. After seeing the pic of their Aromic shoe, I began looking online for more. Much to my surprise, I’m having real difficulties finding them. I had to go to the boobiblufootwear.com website to even see the collection for fall and then I tried to follow the websites links for “Where to buy”, but only two of the sites even had them listed and of those two, only three pieces were even offered.

I like the look of the Bobbi Blu fall shoes, I think for moderately priced trendy shoes they are a Stand-Out, I simply wish they weren’t so difficult to find. From what I could tell from the Dillards and Buckle websites, a pair of Blu’s run around $70.

Here is the info about the collection from the PrimaRoyale website:

“Bobbi Blu is a collection of retro modern footwear that alludes to that sense of mystery that exists in every girl, in every woman. She is a style independent, funky, fresh, and always original.”

Well, that sounds like my kind of shoe – and by the looks of them, they probably are.

This first pair is the Required shoe by Bobbi Blu. Miss Vicki likes it very much.

This next is the Aromic, I’m lov’in it.

Check out the Astria, I adore this one. I like the vintage styling with the bow accent on the back, and the collar, I’m loving the collar – I want this shoe! If anyone can find it online, please post and let me know where I can purchase.

Next is the Halter, I like the ruffle combined with the buckles it makes this boot simply divine.

Last, I liked the Prior, Need I say more? Just look at the shoe… provided they wear as well as they show – I’m in love!

UPDATE! Thanks to an email from a reader, I now know that Bobbi Blu is a new collection from the designers at Kensie, from what I was told the Kensie Footwear Line is no more, to be replaced now with the Bobbi Blu Label. Thanks for the info – if anyone else has more info on Bobbi Blu or Kensie please email me at vicki at soleshebang.com!

Oh, and I’m still trying to find a store carrying the Astria, I just have to get this shoe!
