shoes.com and friends
Once again, shoes.com and friends hopped on a big yellow bus and headed out for our 2nd annual winery trip. Our destination this year was just across the Mississippi, up the lovely river road to Grafton, Illinois. It ain’t Napa, more like booze and hillbillies, but we made due. I like to think we classed up the place with our over the knee boots and blazers.

After a few glasses of wine, we were ready to continue a tradition started at the first annual winery trip, senior pictures! However, I must say they were greatly improved this year by the ‘09 props that some undoubtedly awesome person made from scratch. I’m already working on what to contribute next year – maybe Grecian columns or a yearbook we can all sign…
Check out some of the bests!

As a buyer I get to see lots of fabulous shoes, and I tend to fall in love with a new pair daily.
A brand that I have been crushing on for awhile is J Shoes. This brand brings innovation, craftsmanship, and great design together. Not only do I love every shoe in the line, the team is great, and they are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to fashion. Season after season they are also collaborating with designers, like Carlos Campos, to create one-of-a-kind footwear for the runway.
Carlos Campos Spring 09 collaboration
As you can see below the look is very preppy, urban, and chic. Their Fall marketing campaign brings that to life! The images were done in NY by fashion photographer Brad Walsh. The look was put together by combining apparel from Project Runway’s winner Christian Siriano (I’m obsessed) and stylist Jamie M. Rosenthal. What you can’t see from these images… Their construction is great, the leather is beautiful, and I can walk all day in them.
Men's Rig - Women's Succor
We are starting to see this brand in a big way on the streets. Blake Lively can be seen rock’n the Empire. Usher is a big fan of their sneakers. And our friend Ross Mathews (HelloRoss) was just doing a live chat wearing some well loved grey J shoes!
Stay tuned for more J shoes love!

Last weekend a bunch of my friends and I decided to go bowling. Yep, bowling. And it was surprisingly a lot of fun. So, I get there and everyone is milling around, looking for an appropriate ball size and lacing up their certified pre-owned rental shoes. My friend Anne turns to me and says, “Oh great! You already have your bowling shoes on, you can go first.” Huh? I look down at my feet and then back at her and say, “Girl, these are not bowling shoes. These are my TOMS and I love them.”
With that, I suddenly had a huddle of girls around me wanting to know more about these strange looking Argentine slipper-like shoes. They’re pretty much my go-to shoes for running errands, traveling and hanging out. I told them all about how comfortable and lightweight these shoes are and that they’re eco-friendly to boot. I also told them that
for every pair of shoes you purchase, TOMS donates a pair to a child in need – you’re welcome, Blake Mycoskie.
So, no Anne, I didn’t show up to the bowling alley in bowling shoes. I was wearing
the “feel good” shoes of the year. And for the record, I bowled a 71 my first game
and a 76 the second game. I think it’s safe to say you can now call me “Strikes.”
Bowling shoes? Um, no.
