Making the most of your boots

By Danielle in Funky Finds

If you’re cracking down on your retail therapy this year, and find yourself needing just one pair of boots to last you all season, have no fear!
It’s totally possible to freshen up your boots without shelling out a fortune, and without giving in to another pair of shoes.
I recently came across a piece of genius–fashionable [...]

Socks! Glorious socks!!

By Danielle in Advice, Trends

Who doesn’t love a great pair of socks? And while I can’t speak with 100 percent certainty, I’ve got a hunch that we all (okay, most of us) have that secret pair of socks with purple frogs on them. Or rainbows. Or Winnie the Pooh.
Bygones.
Anyway, one of the hot trends has been wearing eccentric stockings [...]

Looks for Less Tuesday: Privileged!

By Danielle in Celebrities, Looks for Less Tuesdays

Alright, so short story.
I went to grade school with Michael Cassidy. Yes, the “heartthrob” who’s had roles on The OC (remember Summer’s pre-Seth boyfriend Zach, anyone?), Smallville, and the movie Zoom.
I didn’t know him very well (he was maybe two years ahead of me?), but damn when I found out he got a role on [...]

Reader mail!

By Danielle in Feedback, Reader Mail

Let me preface this post: I love mail. If it ain’t bills or a credit-card offer, chances are I’ll be thrilled. And while the Solestruck offices regularly receive enormo boxes of shoes, real mail (for me at least) comes few and far between.
That’s why I was so excited when, on Tuesday afternoon, I received the [...]

‘TIS THE SEASON!! (Red shoes rule.)

By Danielle in Color, Holidays

I’m in a holiday mood.
It’s true, it’s only October, but between the COLD weather and the ‘nog offerings at Dutch Bros., I’m feeling like it’s time for Festivus poles and sparkly lights. Can you blame me?
Anyway, because of this deliciously festive mood I’m in, I thought I’d show all y’alls some fun seasonal offerings from [...]

Montezuma’s Revenge?

By Danielle in Funky Finds, Video

Well, sort of.
I don’t claim to be famous in the blogosphere, but I think a lot of fashion bloggers generally know that someone is going around scouting blogs and giving away shoes from Solestruck. And that happens to be me.
