So you say you can't wear heels?
We get at least five women a day saying they can't wear heels. "Oh, in my young days, I used to," they chirp, as they longingly gaze at our selection of Pierre Dumas four inch high heels. Then they spot a pair of Amanda two inch shoes and ponder. "Even these will bother me."As I gaze down to there sneakers, or worse, crocs (shudder), I can't help but feel sad. Sad for them that they can't enjoy the satisfaction of wearing heels, feeling taller, more powerful, more sexier, more woman. Then I think about something. Why should I feel sad? I can't wear these heels either, but you don't see anyone sympathizing with me. I ask these flat shoe stompers why can't they wear these heels anymore. Their replies varies: surgeries, kids, and the dreaded, I have no where to go. Later about that subject though. If you say you can't wear heels I may call you a liar, or at least a chicken. I try to inspire them and ask them if they would at least try them on. I may get a blush, or a tiny sparkle from an eye, and if they say no I say to them, "Listen, if those girls on Dancing With the Stars can flip, turn, and do splits with four inch heels, you can certainly walk in two inch heels." After a short pause that is filled with angst and emotion they agree to try on those two inch heels, and love them. Sometimes they buy them, sometimes they don't. They announce that they may go for the three inch next time, and soon enough, ahh, well. Another woman who couldn't believe she can wear heels, and was actually afraid to just try them on. Go on, try those heels, those wrap around ankle sandals, those sexy stilletos that you wouldn't be caught dead in when going to church. You're here to have fun, you're hear to try on shoes. Who knows, you may even learn to live dangerously. Visit Cinderella's Shoes and Bags (http://www.cinderellasnewyork.com)

Bold Bright Colors In Women's Dress Sandals
More women are concerned about bright bold colors in footwear. "I don't have that color in my wardrobe", or "I can't match that" or even the dreaded "It's pretty, that's too wild for me."
Women have matched since they learned how to walk as a child, thanks to parents who dressed them in matching colors. Afterwards off to school in plain uniforms, and then work uniforms, i.e. nurses. Does anyone remember Garanimals?
What we forget about fashion is that it changes, constantly. Can you remember a Sunday church dress with matching shoes, handbag, and hat? Of course you've seen this and it does fit well and look great, on some people. What used to be in fashion decades ago is now dust in the wind, the rules do not apply anymore, and Spring will always bring bright colors, so ladies do dare to don those oranges, lime greens, and yellows (which are very hot right now). Don't be afraid to wear those bright bold colors, even if that's the only color in your wardrobe. For instance, black capris, white top, sexy red pumps; white pants, khaki top, green sandals; or embellished t-shirt, jeans, and orange slingbacks. Sounds great? Horrible? Unheard of.
Take a look in magazines, tv specials, and see what women are wearing. Then take a peek at your wardrobe. Does it have color? Is it bold enough? If not, time to accessorize! That's what shoes and handbags are for, to bring life back to your wardrobe and add spice to your personality.
If bold colors are not your thing, try muted earth greens, tans instead of bright yellow, and maroon instead of hot red. Or dare if you may, muted colors with gems or highlights of bright colors. One of our biggest sellers are sandals with a beaded bright turquoise thong.

Sunset Beach has been the biggest selling Sandal this year. It ties up with a removable fabric that can be used as a belt or scarf. For more incredible women's dress sandals visit our website or stop by our shop. Remember that you only live once, wearing bright footwear has never killed anyone, only raised a few eyebrows and turned a few heads of men. And the last time I checked, that's one thing women find that will never go out of style.

Women's Wedding Shoes - Over and Over
It is easy to believe that everything white and everthing pure is built around your wedding; your dress, which is pure and white, your veil, your tiara should outdo everything else and sprarkle all the way til kingdom come. Your wedding shoes should be the same ultra virginal white, shouldn't it not? Not neccesarily. It's become more of a fashion to wear silver or gold for wedding shoes. Two reasons why gold and silver are starting to appear; silver is very in vogue and gold looks great with a tan. The second reason is that these beautiful shoes can be worn more than just once--silver and gold shoes can be worn with most evening gowns.
Some shoes with a touch of glitz can be worn with jeans. Imagine a medium heel ankle strap in gold or silver for your wedding; then a week later taking them out of your closet and finishing your jeans ensemble with those shoes. Smart. Sexy. And practical.
If you do decide to go all white you can be like most brides out there and store away your shoes and hopefully never wear them again (along with your wedding shoes). But if you are daring you may try to don gold or silver wedding dress shoes only to have them re-appear whenever you choose. Fashion is about choice. Why be limited to wear shoes just once?

Getting Ready for Prom - Prom Shoes for You
The rain is almost gone, and the flowers are budding, so it must be prom season. If you haven't picked your dress yet, get moving. Prom season is here, and girls are more fashion concious this year than ever. Whether you have satin dress, sequins, wild, or elegant, shoes no longer have to match. If you have have a question, you can always call us. We'll give you helpful advice, even if you are not in the market of buying anything.
Let's face it, there is a lot of pressure, but there has always been pressure. Don't think it's any worse for you than your parents. They struggled with chiffon and silk, while men fumbled their bow ties while smoothing their ruffles. One thing has never changed, elegance is will always be timeless.
For shoes to wear remember to keep it comfortable. No sense buying high heels to take them off because during the night they might be uncomfortable. And please, don't be the chosen few who dance without shoes and think that it's okay, you do have a choice, and the choice to be made is being comfortable. If you are however, comfortable in high heels, then go for it. Glamour and elegance does combine, and often with heels.
Low heels are becoming a great way to practice wearing heels, or an option for those who can't wear high heels. Maybe you can't walk in heels, or maybe you're 6 feet tall and don't want to tower over your boyfriend. There are plenty of stylish shoes out there with 2 inch heels or lower. This is a great way to keep the shoes on while dancing!
Whatever you choose this prom season remember to keep it fun, safe, and always fashion conscious.
