Business 2 Blogger: Heelys Campaign

This is my first project with Business 2 Blogger, a site that matches businesses with bloggers. Heelys are wheeled shoes that come in several different sneaker styles. I decided on the Sassy, a light purple glitter and stud, Converse style shoe.



I love how these shoes look, but I am absolutely dreadful when it comes to rolling in them. The Heelys site has several videos on the tricks one can do while wearing their shoes, but the only feat I have been able to accomplish is propelling myself forward while clinging to the kitchen counters in an attempt not to fall backward and slam my head on the floor. When I'm not attempting to roll, I just stomp around like a sparkly-footed elephant. Heelys are for all ages, but it is a pity that coordination is not included. I would even pay extra. Thankfully, taking the wheels in and out is a snap, so I will be wearing these shoes sans wheels. On a side note, these shoes are as safe as roller skates, so a helmet and adult supervision are both good ideas when it comes to kids in Heelys.


Besides my lack of skill, my only complaint is the sizing. I found the website a little confusing, and ended up ordering the wrong size the first time. The shoes, also, run a little wide, so my shoes are starting to crease in spots. As for style, these shoes may be a bit over the top, but that's what I love about them.

Need, Want, Have to Have: Jeffrey Campbell Shoes

For a girl who loves shoes, my shoe collection is on the slim side. I have two or three pairs in constant rotation but nothing unique or exciting. After browsing LuLu's selection of Jeffrey Campbell shoes, I have fallen in love with several pairs that I feel I must own. These clever, architectural wonders will make my feet the star of any outfit. Suddenly, I understand how the Wicked Witch of the West felt about those ruby slippers, and I find myself staring at the screen saying, "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!"

I'm Here for the Party

The holidays are a wonderful excuse to buy new clothes, and while my calendar is sadly lacking in festive events, I can't resist planning party wear. When I saw the enchanting lady strapless dress in gray from Ruche, I was immediately smitten with the floral detailing at the waist. The ruffles in the sand knee high boots paired with Urban Outfitters sheer with bows tight or ditsy floral tight would take the look from classy to sassy. Finish with a Kate Spade clutch, such as the peacock lane kenessa, and sparkly cocktail ring, like the ice queen frosted ring. Grab some eggnog, and let the party begin!



What are your holiday plans?

Shoes for Crews

Working on a movie set means being on your feet for long periods of time. After one particularly long day as a stand in, I went home and researched shoes that were comfortable for standing in all day and discovered Shoes for Crews. I ordered the Falcon, a cross-trainer with removable cushioned insoles and a slip-resistant outsole, and wore them for a month of filming. I really think these shoes are the best $30 I've spent. While the shoes are a little chunky, they really helped with the back pain I was having and still look great after weeks spent outside in all sorts of weather. Comfortable and affordable, I recommend checking out the Falcon if you are on your feet all day.

I Heart These


Topshop has the most adorable flats for sale called the Valley Triple Bow Flat Shoe. I love the bows! They sort of remind me of these shoes by Chloe.

Rock & Candy Pepper Boots

WhoWhatWear featured these shoes in a Schooled in Style episode a couple of months ago, but the shoes were not available on the Bakers Shoes website...until now. Rock & Candy Pepper black suede boots are embellished with rhinestones and metal accents and are the perfect way to introduce the military trend into your wardrobe à la Sgt. Pepper.
