Spring Is Finally Here

In April, I find, a lot happens. The minds of everyone seem to change. The negative become optimistic, the conservative become a little adventurous, and the wild try things even they thought they wouldn't. Is it because of the cabin fever of a cold and dreary winter is behind us, or is the promise of the rays of sun gives us, warming our souls at the same time.

Before you start shopping for your new wardrobe, check out your closet and see what you can give away, or sell. There are so many people out there who are less fortunate than us. To you, that bright pink Spring sweater might not be wild enough, or maybe it was last year's hot design, to someone else it can be a pot of fashion gold.

Now is the time to re-invent yourself, whether it's women's dress shoes or a new handbag. It could also be a new car, a new lamp, let yourself go. Spring also brings the necessity to clean. While your cleaning, burn some scented candles to lighten your mood. Don't forget to use earth friendly cleaning products.

We will keep you updated soon on the newly designed website and styles, which are coming very soon. Keep reading, and we appreciate your support.

Never Too Young For High Heels

Sometimes we have young mothers or sassy grandmoms come in with toddlers. They ooh and awe at the purses and stare longingly at the women's high heel shoes in our shoe room. A grin the size of Kansas appears, and I can swear I see almost tears. The young moms or now nervous grandmoms command "Don't touch!". This, of course, translates to a child as a challenge to inspect the shiny treasures with their grubby little hands whenever the peer is out of earshot, or in this case, eyesight.

Well, as you can imagine, having a small boutique we cannot tolerate some small monsters (I mean lovable little people), but there are some favorites that DO come in that we love to see over and over again.

When this little angel popped in and pointed to the "Cinderella's Shoes", we could resist putting her in heels and letting her strut the runway. This is Aimee Ward and her little treasure of a grandchild. I said I would post this and I lost the image so you can imagine my excitement when I found it. Aimee is from Finger Lakes Gallery and Frame and does a wonderful job working with the community. This picture is from last summer and I can't wait for the new Spring Shoes to arrive.

Speaking of new, I apologize for not writing for so long, but we've been wrapped up with the holidays and going to new shoes for shoes and gifts. We have updated our scented soy candles page of our other store and are in the process of re-doing Cinderella's page itself. We are bringing in gorgeous new Spring Shoes and Sandals, including new ones from LifeStride, and Eric Michaels, a gorgeous to die for collection made in Spain.

So keep in touch, I will be.

Fall Shoes 2007- You Call This Style? WTF

We've been getting new arrivals here at Cinderella's, wondering where the hell these styles are come from? Are they purposing deciding on something completely opposite of last year? Remember those mettalics, silver and bronzes coming out of our ears, looking like women just stepped out a pirate's treasure chest. Caribbean or not, this year's muted tones have calmed down a bit, but there are a still a few bronzy heels that will do just fine--and if a so called fashion guru sneers at you for wearing them, just slap them.

After the fiasco of yellow shoes for Spring, where we invested (thank God not heavily) unwisely, we've transferred to easy to wear colors for fall. No more breaking a sweat or pulling your hair out trying to think what goes with what. More of the shoes and boots are wearable with almost anything in your wardrobe.

Styles are so unusual--we all need a little guidance, and whether we all follow the rules is a personal thing, or matter of opinion. Depending on where you are, again having fifth avenue styles don't do a think if you're in a hick town with a country general store satisfying your "shopping needs".

Luckily we do have some of the newer styles of 2007 Fall:

MaryJanes, flats and with a heel.
Flats with a band, got that.
Half boots, got that.
Open toes, round toes, and Peep Toes.
and colors such as beautiful colored gems and black and golds.

Like I said, traditional, and always in style.
So throw away those God awful yellow pumps that you've spend hundreds of dollars (not from us, because we didn't waste our time), because they won't see the eyes of fashion trend setter's for at least another quarter century.

Keep it simple, cute, and elegant. By all means don't forget fun.
And remember, at Cinderella's Shoes and Bags, we'll always have the latest trends, AND the timeless classics for the safer shoe shoppers.
