Puma knocked itself off and I want in!

Shoe Alert: A couple of summers ago, I bought a pair of Puma by Hussein Chalayan Black Label open toe wedge bootie platform net sneakers. Let's break that down. I have never been a fan of open toe booties, most hybrid sneakers, and net shoes, well... BUT, I loved these shoes. Wore them to death as they were one of the most comfortable summer shoes ever that seemed to work with just about everything in my closet. You can tell from the snap above, that I've left the skanky, worn out pair in my closet because I couldn't bear to part with them (yet). Here's my morning thrill. Puma knocked themselves off, and at a fraction of the price that

How to Dress for Your Body Type, Maternity Style, Commuting Shoes, Big Girl Style and the crazed world of Brad Boles

Commuting shoes, bus lanes, legendary ladies, and the anything goes but you... UN Lane! The domino traffic effect... Forget New York City when the UN is in session like it was last week! That and the fact that we New Yorkers become subjected to traffic backup for miles in the kind of grid lock not even found on a Cartier bracelet.

I really hope so. Besides, the whole idea of coordinating socks with white sneakers and jeans absolutely stymies me. If one was to spend such a tremendous amount of time fretting about coordinating their socks
