There's no ideal place to get into a tiff with your significant other, but at a black-tie family wedding just before his birthday and Valentine's Day has to be on the list of most inconvenient. But that's what happened with my guy and me this past weekend. We sparred over something which I knew in retrospect would seem really silly: My shoes. I had put together my entire ensemble for said wedding at the last minute, and that meant I was wearing adorable, sexy, but completely new, stiff, and uncomfortable patent leather peep toe pumps all night. When the band started grooving, my instinct was to slip off those bad boys and party rock barefoot. But the BF said it was inappropriate to be sans shoes at a black-tie event ...
After an unfortunate 20 or so minutes filled with me stumbling around whimpering and us trading curt words, I figured out what was really at the heart of his issue with my attempt to ditch the heels.

How awesome is it that more and more women are hopping on the whole wearing flats instead of heels bandwagon? Don't get me wrong -- heels are absolutely adorable and make our legs look amazing. But blisters and sore feet are kind of a high price to pay for looking fashionable.
It's February and we can't help but dream of jetting down to Miami and leaving the cold, gray skies behind. Ah, sunshine would be nice, wouldn't it? The rays could crack off this layer of dry skin and ice that's been covering us since early December. But alas, here on Groundhog Day, that god awful rodent weatherman let us down and saw his shadow, which means there are six more weeks of winter. Thanks oodles, Punxsutawney Phil. I guess all we can do is dream about the summer, and shorts, and tanks, and flip flops.
A brave scientist in Australia was motivated to study the effect that high heels have on feet after seeing a woman teeter precariously in her stilettos. Using a group of women with the average age of 25, Neil J. Cronin and his fellow biomechanic researchers
'Tis the season for sales -- you'll never find lower prices at your favorite online retailers than now, as they move out their fall/winter merchandise in order to make way for spring.
Don't you just love fashion spotting while watching awards shows? I absolutely adore every opportunity to channel my inner Joan Rivers (minus the plastic surgery). Last night's People's Choice Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles had its fair share of glammed up leading ladies, but I couldn't take my eyes off of Glee's own Lea Michele. The actress, who snagged the award for Favorite TV Comedy Actress, beating out Tina Fey, co-star Jane Lynch, Kaley Cuoco, and Courteney Cox, looked AMAZING.
I'll admit, I was amused to hear that Skechers replaced Kim Kardashian with a French Bulldog in their Super Bowl ad. It had a nice ring to it, didn't it? Kim replaced by a dog? The only problem is that it's not exactly the truth. Yes, there will be a dog in the Skechers' ad come this February 5, but it's not Kim's replacement. Ms. Kardashian isn't in the ad because her contract expired, not because she was fired when her image allegedly took a nose dive after her divorce from Kris Humphries.
It's 12 degrees in New York right now and I kind of want to go to bed and not wake up until April. It's so cold that your face freezes over when you walk outside and you start drooling uncontrollably because you can't move your mouth to swallow. Then you scarf gets frozen bits of spit in it and it's a whole thing. Since it's impossible to hibernate until spring, I guess all that's left that will cheer us up and warm us up is shopping. Shoe shopping, more specifically, because I do not want to see my pale white ass in any dressing room mirror right now.
Is it just me, or did 2012 officially bring winter along with it? Former Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel was dressed for the harsh temperatures yesterday during her afternoon stroll around New York City with her husband Jason Hoppy, daughter Bryn, and their dog Cookie. While the Skinnygirl's outfit is nothing special (eeeesh, leggings as pants!), I can't help but comment on one thing in particular: Her black Ugg Australia boots.
