Lumiani -Ava

Ciao a tutti!

My fellow Shoe-A-Holics, being vertically challenged, I look for new ways to 'appear' taller, and here is one of my favorite style tips: Wear High Heels with Shorts!  High Heels + Shorts = A lot of Leg
But you can't just wear any heel in order to maximize the length of your gams.  Anything with an ankle strap will disrupt the continuous flow from the hem of your shorts to your toes, and actually make you look shorter.  Look for a slide (remember, mules are their closed-toe cousins) with a wedge, which provides a great deal of stability when you walk.

Baci a tutti!

Lumiani -Arielle, Cuoio

Ciao a tutti!

All right, all you beautiful Shoe-A-Holics...where are your lovely stems taking you today?  To the mall?  Out to lunch?  Maybe even a little sightseeing?  Well you can do it all, and look stylish as you do so, keeping one thing in mind...the right shoe!

More often than not, shoes are bought for comfort or style, but rarely both; one doesn't have to be sacrificed for the other when you are out and about, or in at the office.  One of my favorite types of shoe are slides.  From the slippers I wear around the house, to these leather and suede beauties (pictured above and below), slides have an easy nature about them, and with the right pair you can add a glam factor to your outfit.

For a dressier, stylish pair of slides, look for ones with intricate detailing, like this woven upper, or ones with a tapered heel; comfort comes with a platform to take some edge off wearing a high heel, and in the quality of fabric, like a leather upper or a cushioned, suede-lined foot bed.

Baci a tutti!

Pelle Moda -Fantasi

Ciao a tutti!

A winter footwear dilemma:  My fellow Shoe-A-Holics, far too often, during the throngs of winter, when frigid temperatures and harsh weather conditions often dictate functional footwear over anything stylish, and the practicality of wearing those lug-sole-waterproof-insulated-hiking boots in a blizzard makes more sense although you really wanted to wear those sexy-over-the-knee-slippery-soled-stilettos because they would have looked better with your outfit, and you are left, after your sub-zero-slushy morning commute, sitting at your desk and wishing for warmer days; then a weather anomaly comes along, and as you wished it's summer (at least during the few hours of sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere) in January. 
My question to you is:
 
A)  Do you follow conventional wisdom and continue to wear boots, after all, it is January.
B)  Do you wear boots in the morning, but slip into sandals by midday.
C)  Do you throw caution to the wind and pull out the sandals only to pack them away in a week, or
D)  Are you ever mindful that it is still winter and as quickly as the weather changed it can change back, but you don't want to waste the warm weather you wished for so you strike for a happy medium.
 
I'd love to know how you spent your warm days (if you were one of the fortunate few to experience them).  You can respond on Facebook!
 
Baci a tutti!

How I Styled It?
Styling these beauties were easy!  When I ordered these shoes, I had already thrifted this pleated corduroy skirt, and knew I had wanted to wear them together.  But after I received the shoes, they didn't fit as I had imagined and it would have cost an arm and a leg to return them, so I just kept them hidden in the deepest recesses of my Shoe Arsenal...that is until today.  I pulled them out and tried them on and not only did they fit, they felt incredible!  So, I pulled out my matching mini, and decided not only to add a visually softer top to the heavy corduroy but a brighter one in contrast to black.  As one of my favorite blouses (from Forever 21 some years ago), I love how the sheer fabric, pleated-neck, ruffle-keyhole, peplum and jeweled button placket add femininity to items I pair with it.  The bolero cardigan is Derek Heart (from a few years ago).  I removed the bow pin from the sweater and added it to the blouse because of the bow detail on the shoes.  SN

Type Z -Jilli, Dark Brown

Ciao a tutti!

On mornings like today, it is hard to find inspiration when styling outfits.  Children fighting, breakfast making, lunch packing, carpooling, some days start off a little more hectic than others, and I find myself, usually 15 minutes before I am to step out the door, screaming, "What am I going to wear?"



Well, not any more!  With NY's Fashion Week in full swing, images of models, celebrities and fashion gurus are everywhere; from magazine covers to Internet blogs, one can get a a taste of New York's style, without forking out the extra bucks to be there or for a personal stylist!



Viewing the fall 2012 trends, I stumbled across an article from Lucky magazine's online component entitled, How To: 45 Amazing New Ways to Get Dress in the Morning, and I knew I had hit  pay dirt!



Today's look was inspired by slide #26:  I first looked at the shoes, and knew I had my Jilli beauties.  I didn't have the peach colored shorts, but my coral pair would have the perfect pop of color.  I had the brown leather belt and white tank, but the only thing I needed was a denim shirt, which I do not own.  With my weakness for denim jackets, I knew that my sand blasted moto jacket would substitute perfectly.  The only thing I was missing was the scarf, but hey, I told you I was running late this morning, so I'll be sure to grab one before I head out this afternoon!


Baci a tutti!

Monday's Must Have Shoes: Carlos by Carlos Santana -Webbed, Rosa

Ciao a tutti!

Shoe-A-Holics!  If you don't have an Ankle-Wrap Sandal, you need to get yourself a pair!  A must have shoe for the summer of 2012 and a silhouette which never goes out of style, both sexy and alluring, they add length to your legs by accentuating the thinness of your ankles. 


This style has always been a favorite of mine, and I think I finally realize why I have had a life long love affair with this type of shoe.  I was five when my older siblings taught me how to tie my shoes; but unlike most, who actually learn to tie their own shoes on their own shoe, my shoes were canvas slips ons or t-straps with buckles (another of my favorite shoes). 


So how did I learn to tie my shoes? With a piece of thread, tied around my calves. And when I finally mastered this elementary task, I was by myself, and sought out my siblings and parents in various places throughout the house with the colorful piece of thread tied around my calves to display my newly acquired knowledge.  Rightly proud, but most likely unknowingly, I wore the thread about my legs the entire day!



Baci a tutti!

Sunday Show Stopper Alert! No. 704b -Moira

Attention, Shoe-A-Holics!
We interrupt your regularly scheduled blog for this Shoe-Stopper of a post!

I'm thinking about a few of my fellow Shoe-A-Holics this morning, and I thought I'd share some inspirational words about life; hoping this enables you to move one step closer to you!

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.”

–Mother Teresa

 And my personal addition to such inspirational list: Life is a playground...have fun with it!




Baci a tutti!

Ciao, a tutti!


High-Heeled Shoes

High-heeled shoes, don’t you just luv’em?
I couldn’t luv’em more if I try.

4-inches, 5-inches, don’t stop counting;
Reaching upward towards the sky!

High-heeled shoes, I see you watching;
My long legs have caught your eye!

34, 35, 36-inch inseam,
You can’t touch me, if you try!

Pumps & platforms, Stilettos & spikes
Ankle wraps & ankle ties

Wedges, shoes, boots and booties
All on sale, just my size!

High-heeled shoes, I feel like dancing;
Get me to the club tonight!

Half-past 12, then one and two and..
Dancing ‘til the mornin’s light!

High-heel shoes, oh, how I adore thee
Dressin’ in Mamma’s heels since four;

High-heel shoes, oh, how I shall mourn thee,
When I am unable to wear thee more.


Baci!

Mid-Week Matinee: Max Studio -Belinda

Ciao a tutti!

It's been a week since your last Midday-Mid-Week-Matinee; from the What's Her Fantasy? archives, a Sixty-Second Sexcapade which is sure to delight! And as always, I hope this gets you through the remainder of the week!

***WARNING***
The following story is not for the faint of heart and is NOT intended for those under the age of 18! Consider yourself forewarned!



Cougar Town


What a week this has been –I have been planning a graduation party for the one and only man in my life for the past 18 years –my son Derrick, and boy am I glad that it is over.   I was married to Derrick’s good-for-nothing father for ten years –and we couldn’t conceive.  The doctors said that there was no biological reason why I shouldn’t be able to conceive, but over the ten years we were married, and the 2 years we were dating before that, it never happened.

It was Thanksgiving weekend 1986 that Trevor decided he no longer wanted to be married, and I remember it clearly.  I had driven up to my parents’ cabin by the lake in late November to close it up for the winter, when Trevor showed up unexpectedly.  We had been having a rough time of it for about 6 months at that point –I wanted to start in vitro fertilization and he wanted to start adoption proceedings.

Those four nights (Wednesday through Saturday) that we spent up at the cabin, were the most magical of our entire marriage.  We laughed and drank, ate and fucked like you would not believe.  The only other time Trevor and I fucked that much, was in college –the year the football team on which he played went undefeated all season –we used to sneak off behind the bleachers to get in a quickie before the celebrating started.

After our four marathon nights of lovemaking, Sunday morning Trevor needed to leave early because there was an emergency at his office.  As I finished up the last bit of cleaning, I found a note that Trevor had left for me –he had always left little notes around the house with expressions of love written in them.  His note was no more than four lines and read that he was leaving me for his girlfriend of four years –she was more of a woman than I would ever be because she was pregnant.  I was so devastated, I cried non-stop for two weeks straight.  It had gotten so bad that I was admitted to the hospital and four weeks later, I had gotten the news that I had waited over ten years to hear –I was pregnant.

Well, Enough about Trevor, and back to Derrick and his party.  It was phenomenal, if I do say so myself.  We went with a Hawaiian Luau theme –complete with tiki torches and a roasted pig over a pit.  The guys all wore Hawaiian shirts and swim trunks while the girls dressed in bathing suits and grass skirts –set against the backdrop of our pool, it was the perfect bash.  I, dressed in a grass skirt and a coconut bra, played hostess and almost had a little bash of my own. 

I have dated a few men over the years, but none of them have ever turned me on like Derrick’s friend Drew.  He is tall and cute, and has a body on him.  I go into the kitchen to put out more snacks for the partygoers, and I can’t reach a bowl on the top shelf.  Just then Drew enters and asks if he can help me with anything.  I indicate that the bowl is just out of reach.  Instead of stepping past me, he comes up behind me and reaches over me and retrieves the bowl.  He places it on the counter, and after doing so, he doesn’t move.  As I close the cupboard, his hands move around me to the counter top.  His shirt is unbuttoned, and I feel his smooth hairless chest against the skin on my back and his young hard penis through the blades of my skirt. 

When I face him he kisses me.  I stop the kissing because I am afraid that Derrick will walk in on us, but through the sliding doors, I can see that the cookout has now turned into a pool party with all the graduates in the pool, minus one –Drew.  He tells me that he has fantasized about being with me since he was twelve, and I tell him that I couldn’t possibly be more to him than his friend’s mother, but that doesn’t stop him. 

Drew kisses me again, but this time, instead of playing with my tongue, he thrusts his tongue all the way to the back of my mouth.  He pushes his hips forward and his penis, pressed against my abdomen.  I squirm in response.  I break away, looking for Derrick, but I see him cannonball into the water. Without missing a beat, Drew lifts me to the counter to where I am wedged between the cupboard and the side of the pantry. 

Drew's hands move with a level of skill as they separate the blades of grass in my skirt -I'm not wearing any underwear.

Lumiani -Arielle, White

Buongiorno Amici!


Every Shoe-a-holic needs a pair of shoes like this; sheer opulence bathing your feet in luxury, this Lumiani Arielle is a member of what I like to call the Luxe-Deluxe section of my shoe Arsenal.


Not every one can be a millionaire or live like the Rich and Famous, but you can certainly feel that way in a pair of shoes!  Rich, supple leather upper, leather lining, suede footbed and suede-wrapped wedge all mounted on a leather outsole. 

Nothing short of orgasmic, if you've ever owned such a shoe, it's a difference you can feel and know why high-end shoes are so pricey; it's much like when Dr. Zoidberg felt when he got his 300 Big Boys: "One art, please!"

Baci, Amici!
