Deal of the Week – Hunter Festival Lace Boot $69.95!

By Bryce in Boots, Color, Sale, Trends, What's Happening

There has been a significant recent trend towards work (or work inspired) footwear.  The classic Redwing Boots and soon Docs are starting to hit the streets.  Maybe the trend is derived from our economic situation (soup lines anyone?), or maybe from our country’s blue-collar work roots.  Either way, quality craftsmanship and enduring style make both [...]

[We think] this post is Hef-approved

By Danielle in Celebrities, men's

When you’re looking for the ultimate in comfy, OF COURSE you’d look toward icon Hugh Hefner.
That’s why we think your honey (or yourself, for that matter) will love the Reef Honey Do slipper, for only $39.95 on Solestruck.com. They suspiciously resemble Hef’s own shuffle-about shoes, but we suspect these are far more comfortable with a [...]

Shoes fit for a superhero(ine)

By Danielle in Trends

If you answered [...]

Would you wear these?

By Danielle in Funky Finds

I know that as part of a presumably fashion-forward community, we are supposed to automatically loathe Crocs, the brand which my boss has dubbed the “Plastic Hooves.” But, c’mon…you have to admit…the Crocs Alice is kinda cute, right? Right?
There’s none of those annoying air bubbles, but instead, this makes a–dare I say–delightful mary jane.

Fug or fab? Heel protectors

By Danielle in Funky Finds

I was looking through my daily dose of fashionable shoe blogs this morning, when I came upon a blog posting on the Well-Heeled Society. Apparently the fabulous Felicia over there gets to sample some HeelSkinz, which is a type of heel protector. Now, this wasn’t the first time I’d read about heel protectors. A few [...]

It’s always a good time for flip-flops

By Danielle in Trends, men's

Well, I can’t say with all certainty that sandals meld well with cold flood weather, but some of my friends insist on wearing flip-flops year ’round! So whether you’re in the dreary Northwest or in some of the fewer and sunnier parts around the world,  you’ll definitely want to stock up on sandals.
I’ve definitely sung [...]

Solevoice makes a long-awaited comeback

By Danielle in Fab Friday Giveaways, Holidays, What's Happening

Hello!!
Hello!
Has it been forever?
I think it has, yes.
So, before I get to the very overdue Fab Friday winner, let me explain what happened. Aside from several blog-related technical difficulties, Portland was hit with one of the worst winter storms in recent history. Actually, the worst in about 40 years. And before all you Midwesterners start [...]
