Did I mention free shipping!!! Yours truly loves the word FREE! Free returns as well. How can you go wrong!!! I was looking for a super cute flat sandal from one of my FAVORITE brands... Micheal Kors of course!!! I love websites that have an excellent search filter. All I had to do was select my shoe size, color preferences, and brand selection. After selecting my preferences, I found her!!!

Summer is approaching and we PasSHOEnista’s want to be both fashionable and comfortable. For the longest I’ve been in complete love with wedge heel shoes. Wedges offer me the opportunity to be comfortable and sheik.  I love to wear a pair of wedges with my favorite pair of crop pants or a banging maxi dress.  Wedges are one of the more versatile shoes....

Check out DSW and find your perfect wedge shoe for the summer :)



"The wedge itself may have decorations or designs, and can be made with molded plastic or rubber. Wedge heels can have what looks like an artificial wood-grain, be covered with jute rope, as is the case with espadrilles, or simply look like an extension of the sole featuring the same essential color as the shoe. One of the most popular wedge heels in the late 70s and early 80s was made by the shoe manufacturer Candies. These shoes had hard plastic wedge heels and again became briefly popular in the 1990s and 2000s. "~WiseGeek

No matter what you call it or what it's made of I call them simply the best shoes ever!!!!

Take my poll and tell me what's your favorite summer strutting shoe !!!

I first learned about TOMS from my younger "Fashion Diva" cousin a few years ago. @ first I have to admit, I didn't see anything special about the fashion appearance of the classic TOMS shoe but as I did a little more research, I was drawn to the company by their mission and purpose. TOMS has helped provide over 1 Million people brand new shoes to needy children!

This is short of amazing!!!TOMS motto is "One for One". Each time someone purchases a pair of shoes from TOMS a child in need receives a pair of shoes! Talk about a 2 for 1 deal!!! I am PasSHOEnate about giving back to the community and what better way to give back than with SHOES!!! I admire their brand for reaching out and trying something new.

Shoe's not only cure the blues but that can help someone in need.

On April 2011, TOMS started an initiative called One Day Without Shoes. According to TOMS there are million of children in need of shoes to protect them from various soil based dieases. Not only do the shoes protect them from diseases but also it allow children to go to school because shoes are a requirement!

"In Africa, there is a desperate need for footwear that will protect from highly prevalent neglected tropical diseases transmitted through the soil" ~ Dr. Peter Hotez, MD, PHD

It’s no secret that one of the hottest trends in fashion today is Color Block. For those who don’t know, Color Blocking is when a garment or shoe consists of  “blocks” of color in it. According to Glamour.com, Cheerful Color-Blocking is one of the hottest trends in Spring 2012 fashion, spring runways were more colorful than the crowd at a Lady Gaga concert.

I find this trend to be fabulous especially in shoes!!!

This week I purchased the cutest color blocking stiletto from Macy's designed by International Concept (INC). (The picture below are my actual shoes...cute! I know right :)

Everyone is joining in on the color block trend from The Today Show, news Anchor Ann Curry to the First Lady Michelle Obama! She is such a Fashion Icon!!! The current phase of the Color Block has been around for more than a year but the Color Block trend has entered reintroduced itself throughout fashion history!  I've seen the Color Block trend throughout the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's. Major retailers like Macys.com have even dedicated entire categories to color block shoes. Personally, I am so glad it is back!!!

No Pain No Gain!!! How high is too high???

I love high heels but I will admit that sometimes they are EXTREMELY uncomfortable!!!  I have several categories of shoes: the sitting heel, the walking heel, and the “no more than 2 hours” standing heel J According to LiveScience.com wearing high heels can cause shortened calf muscles, heel and ankle pain, hip and spine pain,

and joint degeneration and knee osteoarthritis.

WITH ALL THAT SAID!!! Personally I would rather be fashionable than comfortable. I am waiting for some of my favorite brands (Nine West, Michael Kors, BCBG, and Kenneth Cole) to come out with very fashion forward high heels that are both trendy and comfortable.Companies like Sofft have started to produce comfortable heels but there is still a big difference. I’ve never seen a Sofft stiletto! Have you? I visited Sofftshoe.com and did a little PasShoenista research! The highest heel I found on the company’s website was 3 ½ inch stacked heel.

Shoe lesson 101: Stacked heel does not equal Stiletto! While visiting Sofft Shoes.com, I did see several cute regular heels. So I am challenging Sofft Shoes and other similar companies to create a comfortable sexy stiletto! This would be a dream come true for many PasShoenista’s like me.  

PasShoenista's everywhere, I want to hear from you. Let me know who much discomfort will you/ have you endured in order to be fashionable!!!! 

Crazy Shoe News: People have definitely gone way too far!!! But hey if the shoes fits....

According to ONTD, "Women are hotfooting it to plastic surgeons for 'toe jobs' — that ease the agony of wearing towering heels like Victoria Beckham’s. Operations to inject cushioning "fillers" into toes, heels and the balls of the feet have doubled in the past year, Brit surgeons said yesterday."
