Prom Sneakers

Queen Bee — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 04:11:54 +0000

Sure, you want to get all glammed up in a fancy dress and heels, but how much dancing can you actually do in 4 inch pumps?

Why not wear sneakers? IMO, nothing is cuter than a feminine dress and some casual kicks. Plus, you can dance all night without the blisters and pain!

There is only one more day until Nordstrom Rack opens here in Boise! So we are continuing the Nordstrom celebration with a post on what they do best: Shoes.

Their latest collection of shoes are fun, bright, and full of spring time cheer.

Why TOMS Should Sue Skechers

Queen Bee — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 04:44:13 +0000

Ladies, I am appalled by Skechers’ blatant rip off of TOMS shoes and business model. TOMS started their business for the purpose of helping kids and created a unique shoe design that is instantly recognizable. I feel like Skechers is just trying to raise profits and make their brand relevant again. If their only concern was making a difference, why did they scope out the TOMS shoe line and simply reproduce TOMS’ shoe design?

TOMS clearly has a case for trade dress infringement. I’ve mentioned trade dress infringement before (Kim Kardashian ripping off Botkier, Forever 21 ripping off Jeffrey Campbell). Trade dress allows for protection of the visual appearance of something, as long as it is not functional or is not the cheapest/most efficient way to create something. The trade dress must also be distinctive, meaning when you, the consumer, see it, you immediately think of TOMS and only TOMS.

Do you think TOMS has a case?

Finally, It’s Spring

Thank goodness for Spring and the lovely fashion it brings!

Prom Under $100

Queen Bee — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 04:59:42 +0000

Typical prom: big dreams small budget. Do a little leg work and you can easily put together a prom look for under $100.

Here is one I put together from Lulus by starting with this jade colored mini dress.

From lulus.com

Pair the dress with some pink glitter high heel booties.

Add in this gold bracelet and you have $4 to spare!

Prom Shoe Heaven

Queen Bee — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 04:57:36 +0000

Prepare to die and go to shoe heaven!

As usual, Bakers has a fabulous selection of pumps that would complement any prom dress. Are you bold enough to wear these leopard print pumps?

From bakersshoes.com

What about these blue color block heels? They’re a bit tamer.

From bakershoes.com

Nude heels are always a safe way to go. They will match just about any color dress and make your legs look a mile long.

But your best investment is always a pair of black pumps. After prom is over, you will have plenty of opportunities to wear them.

So Your Feet Are Wide

Queen Bee — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 04:18:03 +0000

I know what it is like to have difficult feet. Mine are creepy thin and slip out of most flats, pumps, and strappy heels. Lucky for you girls with wide feet, there are plenty of fabulous extra wide ladies shoes out there for you.

You’d be surprised with the variety of styles you can find at online boutiques like Viva La Diva. Here are a few of my favorites.

Smokin’ Hot Shoes Under $100

Queen Bee — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 04:02:11 +0000

Platform wedges are impractical, painful, and oh so fabulous. Even if you never wear this style, you can’t help but admire their look.

From lulus.com

Lulus has a great selection of platform wedges, many under $100 and some even under $40, like this next pair.

Nordie’s Half Yearly Sale: Shoe Edition

Queen Bee — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 18:47:38 +0000

The one great downfall of my move to Boise is the lack of Nordstrom. There isn’t one in the ENTIRE state! Though, thankfully, they are putting in a Nordstrom Rack sometime in 2012. This means I have to get my Nordstrom fix through their website which isn’t as fun as getting to the store at 7am on the first day of their sale. C’est la vie.

So after browsing for much too long, I’ve collected a list of my absolute favorite deals on shoes at their Half Yearly Sale.

From nordstrom.com

We start with Betsey Johnson, of course!

Andre has created a Wonder Woman and Catwoman inspired shoe line that is just fabulous. Flats, oxfords, boots, the line has it all. Unfortunately it is only available in Europe, so if you’re over there, please send me a size 39 of the red Wonder Woman Amazone oxfords!
