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…

The Shoe Goddess has the scoop on a Zanotti sandal to die for

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.

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)

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.

 The maxi dress is all the rage and here at mizztissa we can’t get enough of them. I’m not looking forward to getting my next credit card bill, but loving my new wardrobe! Some favorites from recent shopping adventures…

The Flamingo maxi dress from Hype provides a flattering and sexy look. With spaghetti straps and a deep plunge, its bold blue and gold accents and beautiful print are stylish and in!

The print on this Custo Barcelona is gorgeous! I fell in love with it the moment I saw it.  They’re almost sold out so act fast! I have no idea how to describe the print but its definitely unique.

Another Custo Barcelona print that is as elegant as it is sexy. A Peacock-inspired pattern on the bust and daisy-inspired pattern on the skirt make this a smart stylish buy.

Well would you take a little looky what we found here! On my internet travels for clothes, shoes and, oh, I don’t know, anything else that I care to covet, I came across this little gem of a discount at this gem of a store.

They have such a masive array of products that cater for all price ranges I spent a good few hours of today browsing and wishing pay day would roll on just a little bit quicker!

My top 3 list at chickdowntown.com at the moment:

-Alexander McQueen scarf for $237 – this is a style that’s been seen on all the A-listers – what I wouldn’t give to be one of them, if not just for their access to the hottest trends around!

-Mink Pink Smooth Sailing Dress $55.00 – gorgeous simple dress and with a price tag that is far more in my price range!

-Rachel Leigh Millies Clip On Ivory $145.00 – cutest retro clip on earings. Possibly ever.

OK, so summer has arrived, and we all know what that means, right? It means it’s time to get out your maxi dresses and flounce around the streets!

I don’t know about you, but I know that I’ll be making  like the A-listers and treating myself to this season’s most flattering dress. Unlike the typical LBD, the maxi dress is perfect for hiding all of those lumps and bumps. Perfect, just what I like!

I’ll be in good company too, with my maxi dress. Serial offenders of the maxi-dress wearing brigade include Rachel Bilson, Mischa Barton and Nicole Ritchie.

A style similar to Mischa’s dress is available from Firetrap at Oli.

Traditionally, the maxi dress tends to be floral. However, with tribal and ethnic being a key trend this season, you can get away with this too. Oli comes through for us again with this gorgeous tribal bandeau maxi, courtesy of Miss Sixty.

The maxi dress breaks the usual dress rules of distinction; it falls into the categories of beach as well as dressy. You can make a maxi dress look daytime or evening based on the accessories/shoes that you team it with.

If you want to go for the daytime look, then maxi dresses look gorgeous with gladiators. For an evening look, try teaming yours with a simple pair of wedges for understated glam. I love this pair of gladiators, found at Heels.com. The harsh studding would work great against the delicate patterns of a maxi. And the Valentine Bronze wedges would not only look great with your maxi, but the neautral shade makes them versatile enough to look gorgeous with jeans too!

A common misconception of the maxi is that if you’re short, you can’t wear a maxi dress. Let me tell you, this is wrong! True, if you’re short, you have to be a little craftier, but you can still get away with a maxi. I’ll let you in on a little secret: the trick is to go for small prints as big prints tend to drown the figure.  Alternatively, an all over colour looks great on tall and short girls alike. Blake Lively and Eva Longoria sit on either end of the height spectrum but look equally stunning in their red and orange hues.

If you haven’t picked up a pair of Spring sandals, it might be time to put an end to your procrastination and pick something. I know all too well that once you start looking and see so many thing you want, it’s like you’re paralzyed and can’t make your mind up. So I thought what better way to help than by providing a snazzy short list.

All of these are fairly affordable at around $100. And it’s like your way of helping the economy. I know I try to contribute when I can! My closet will back me up on that. You might notice these are all platform heels, my new obsession for the season. Time to stock up on nail polish too! If you haven’t tried Opi, its really good.

This first pair is called Teema and its from Fergie’s new line of shoes. Not only will if give you a lift in height and confidence, I think they’re just cool.

Next we have a hot sandal from Guess called Karoke of all things. While they don’t actually sing, they look good just the same.  They actually look kinda comfortable too. I liked the heel on this one.

Here’s a strappy sandal from Bronx that would look great with jeans. They all would, but a strappy brown sandal is a must have. It features crisscrossing straps up to the adjustable ankle strap and suede covered midsole.

And these last ones are called from Angel from BCBGirls look like you could wear all day and go out in the evening with them too. They have a glossy black snakeskin upper and will make anything you wear with it look great.
