MizzTissa Shoe Blog

It’s been a wonderful summer, and my poor blog has been neglected. But I have a perfectly good excuse – I’ve been busy shopping.

Hope everyone has been enjoying the fabulous weather!

A few posts you may have missed, but are worth a look…

And the Manolo posts on Jimmy Choo sandals – also to die for

Fall is just around the corner and there’s been all kinds of sales (sorry for not posting about them!).

Now is the time to start looking for boots, and I have my eye on a few.

The Miss Dior II is a style I’ve always wanted. I have a couple that are close, but these are Dior!

And 20% off. Nuff said.

The Gucci Sofia is another style I’ve wanted for a while.

I’m all about the black patent these days, even if prints are hot.

This pair from Stella McCartney would look good just about anytime.

I’m really tempted by these ones.

Have you ever noticed there isn’t enough hours in the day to shop? Or enough room in our closets?

I love all 3 of these but have to choose. Sometimes life isn’t fair.

During fashion week in Stockholm there was ShoeMania, and these beauties were just a few on display.

The designer described his chain shoes creation creation as;

“The shoes express the contrast between heaviness and lightness, elegance and brutality, complexity and simplicity, movement and anchorage. To create these contrasts, we have chosen to work with metal chains at different stages of aging. Chains function as both structural design and the developer of the illusion of not reaching down to the ground or mastering a given form. “

Sometimes creations like these make me wonder if the designer ever intended anyone to wear them.

Paging Lady Gaga…

Wooden heels are hot hot hot this spring.

These aren’t a match to the above pic, but sometimes you  just go with what you love.

And I love Michael Kors!

This pair from Sergio Rossi is sure to turn some heads and look great with almost anything!

Fyi, this pair from Theory would rock with jeans.

And the aboe by Theory are 40% off, so its only $177 (via Bluefly)

Some high heels are to die for, and some look like shit, and now there’s a pair even made from them.

London-based designer INSA’s 10 inch elephant dung heels. These pre-dipped pumps are inspiried by a controversial elephant dung rendering of the Virgin Mary by artist Chris Ofili. Wow! There really isn’t much else to say is there. Good luck with that lol!

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.

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!

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.

Ever been shopping and missed out on some great deals because they simply didn’t have your size? We’ve all been there!

What if I told you that you can stretech your shoes up to one full size?

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.

Starting 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.

Perhaps 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!

If 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.

These 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.
