Have you heard?

Paris fashion week shoes have some “interesting” styles where Alexander McQueen collaborated with Lady Gaga and some look like Tim Burton creations! And I’m sure you’ve already read about what Rhianna is wearing  in Paris…

And a designer shoe hire service called Cinderella Me just launched.
Reminds me of the handbag service in Sex in the City that Jennifer Hudson’s character used.

High Heels – Ban from the Workplace?

Posted by MizzTissa in fashion, life, shoes

A recent debate about whether they should allow stilettos in the workplace has come up, suggesting health and safety reasons.

The (mostly male) Trade Union Congress states the stiletto is demeaning to women. If we thought so, we’d let you know about it. But why are you sitting around discussing women’s shoes? Is this really the best use of your time?

Apprentice winner Michelle Dewberry also thinks its ridiculous and commented

 ”…these union officials should be spending their time dealing with more important issues. Heels are sexy, they boost your confidence and they are empowering to women.”

So what’s your opinion? Vote below!

Wedding Shoes Shopping

Posted by MizzTissa in dresses, shoes, shopping

It’s that time of year I call wedding season. Lots of people like to get married in June or July so there’s lots of invites floating around. Hopefully, if you’re part of the wedding party, you aren’t asked to wear a “sea foam green” gown from hell like a friend was. I know its the bride’s day and all, but in this case it required an intravention!

But whatever you’re wearing, you’ll have to find some shoes that match. That’s where House of Brides  comes in! They have a good selection in all sorts of colors for brides and bridesmaids, along with dresses and everything else for that special day. This site has helped more than a friend or two with hard to match colors.

Shoe Shopping – Something For Work

Posted by MizzTissa in high heels, life, shoes

Finding a suitable pair of heels for work that look good without making you look like the office floozy can be a bit of a challenge. It doesn’t take much to get people talking and if your skirt were too short or something about your shoes they don’t like, then I’m sure they’ll let you know.

high-heel-31Starting with a simple pair of 3 strap shoes, these have a modest heel which is more and a thick heel, which tends to be more comfortable for all day wear.

high-heel-4Perhaps something in the way of a pair of oxfords is more your thing? A little bit bold, a little bit unique, and professional all the while?

 

Depending on your work environment, a pairof gladiator heels might not be the right idea, but you don’t have to settle for dull either!

 

high-heel-square-toeIf you’re looking for something with a little more oomph, try this pair of square toe high heels.  I thought these are simple enough to be a little sexy and serious at the same time.

high-heel-21These high heels are black suede and have a thick chunky heel and would be great if you do a fair amount of standing all day.

 

A few considerations when shoe shopping for the office. You might stay away from too strappy, heels that are much over 3 inches, and platform soles. This is my own opinion really, but something to think about.

Posted by MizzTissa in news, shoes

After a night of dancing, sometimes the last thing you want to do is head home in your stiletto heels. One chap in Britan had an aha moment after getting tired of giving his girlfriend a piggyback home every Saturday night and came up with a solution – vending machines that sell flats! Brilliant!

Sandals and Summer Nights

Posted by MizzTissa in sandal, sexy, shoes, stilletto

Anyone that knows me will tell you I love sandals, and especially the kind you would wear to a red carpet thing! Not that I’ve been to many, or any actually, but either way that’s what I prefer. I think they’re my favorite type of high heels because they seem… I dunno – extra sexy, and very feminine. Another thing about the right sandal is they look great with a lot of different kinds of clothes, and I’ll let you in on a little secret. Although they won’t admit it, I’m pretty sure guys prefer them too. Just a hunch, but I get more compliments on how I look or more specifically my shoes when wearing some sexy sandals. For some guys, I think the more strappy ones get their attention, and for others its about the stiletto heel. All I know is a nice dress and a pair of high heel sandals get a lot more doors held open for you. Anyone else notice this?

And in my usual Mizz Tissa style I’m shopping and sharing my online favorites. Since I don’t have Mariah’s closet or wallet, I can’t possibly afford to buy everything I like (and my tastes change, so its a good thing) but here’s a few I found this week that I consider my current favorites.

The satin Stuart Weitzman ‘Glohotbi’ is a great looking sandal with a 4½” heel with and ½” platform, and typically retails for $335 (40% off at time of this post, so $200 at the moment). An excellent deal for a great looking pair of heels.

Gucci’s ’Britt’ is a strappy sandal worth noting, with a satin upper, rhinestone ornament, side buckle, and a 3½” satin covered stiletto heel. They’re about $625, but 2o% off currently. Something about these make me think of Cinderella.

This pair from Jimmy Choo are unforgettable! The ‘Serena’  is a 4 inch heel and an instant classic which you’ll wear again and again, which is fortunate as they’re about $900 (20% off at time of this post). These ones would go under glass in a revolving pedestal. I wouldn’t hide a pair of heels as lovely as this in the closet! Sigh… Someday…

Hot Hot Hot Summer Style

Posted by MizzTissa in clothing, dresses, sandal, sexy, shoes

Summer is almost in full swing and you’re still looking for that perfect pair of summer sandals and a dress? It’s a good thing we ran into each other, coz I have a few ideas that can help with your summer wardrobe.

I know how it is. I’ve been on the same quest for that perfect pair of shoes for a while, and although I have yet to find the perfect pair of heels, every so often I find something like the Christian Louboutin ‘Noeudette’ . These will definitely spice up that little summer dress and add some sizzle. They have a 3½” heel with goldtone metal tip and come complete with the signature red sole.

Could this be the perfect summer sandal? Christian Louboutin ‘Noeudette’ in Hot Pink. For me, it says ‘Let’s Salsa’!

Also available in lime green!

When I’m shopping, I guess I do things backwards compared to a lot of women. I pick the shoes, then the dress. I’ve found this just works for me better. Probably because when I picked the dress or clothes first, I usually had a little trouble finding a pair of heels to go with it. But since I started with the shoes first, no problemo!

Now for the summer dress, and I have just the thing, a few times over. Check this Norman Kamali babydoll green bubble dress! The bustier style bodice with v-neck and crisscross backstraps is just the thing when you’re sitting on the patio people watching!

 How about this beautiful off the shoulder silk ruffle dress? I love the flowing look of this one.

Or there’s a dark pink floral jersey dress I adore from David Meister. Perfect for going out almost anywhere.

There’s one other dress that I really liked. It looks so summery (if that’s even a word) and colorful. The small pic doesn’t show it off so well, but borrowing from the description… “Watercolor-hued orchids bloom on the subtly striped halter dress”. If I could only pick one, this might be it. So far, its my summer dress pick!
