The Shoe Diaries | Celebrity Shoes for Less!

I love reading – news, magazines, books – it doesn’t matter. So when my co-workers were talking about starting a book club last winter, I was all in. I had never been involved in one before and it sounded like a lot of fun! So far we’ve read our way through some diverse books, with meetings focused around food and fun. We’ve taken a more laidback approach this summer, choosing book/movie combos and holding our meetings at the local movie theater. Yesterday was our August get-together. After dinner at Olive Garden we headed over to watch [ . . . ]

If you wait with bated breath for Glamour UK to let us know who the hottest men in the world are each year, you can relax – the list is out! In a strange twist that’s very telling of our current pop culture, every single man in the top 5 is either a vampire or a [ . . . ]

Can it be true? Is little Lizzie McGuire about to tie the knot? According to In Touch & MSN, Hilary Duff will be a married woman sometime this weekend. The magazine is reporting that the wedding is set to go down in Santa Barbara at the San Ysidro Ranch. Those little details like the [ . . .]

I can’t believe another season of The Bachelorette has come to an end! This season has been one of my favorites, but not necessarily because of the people on the show. Ever since college, my friends and I have gotten into the habit of getting together every Monday night for girl’s night centered around ABC’s infamous dating show. This year, we decided to turn it into an innocent competition – and Fantasy Bachelorette was born!

I have to admit we got the idea from [ . . . ]

Is there something in the water? A spate of celebrities has announced their pregnancies in recent weeks. It looks like this winter will bring about the start of a brand new bunch of celebrity mini-mes. I have to say I’m excited! I love hearing positive news about the rich and famous and what can be better (and cuter) than a new addition to the family? The list of celebrities expanding their broods include [ . . . ]

I finally got to see The Twilight Saga: Eclipse over the Fourth of July weekend. I have to say, I was a little disappointed by the movie. Once I finally agreed to start reading the Twilight books, I was hooked. I definitely love the characters and the stories, but they don’t seem to translate well to the big screen. In fact, the only movie I’ve really liked so far has been New Moon. After watching it this past fall, I assumed that the movies would only get better – most likely because the studio would have reason to [ . . . ]

I don’t know why, but I was surprised to hear that Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green had gotten married a couple of weeks ago. It had just become public knowledge that she had received (and promptly lost) another engagement ring from Brian. I figured there would be the obligatory year long planning period before the wedding. Silly me – since when has Megan Fox been known as traditional?

That’s one of the things that most impresses me about her. She may be famous, but [. . . ]

Rompers, jumpers, jumpsuits… whatever you are calling them, babies are not the only ones wearing them this summer!

Many celebrities are seen out and about with these cute, trendy outfits on as well. Alicia Keys was on Good Morning America[. . .]

With 4th of July festivities right around the corner, I have been thinking about summer picnics and BBQ’s. My family is known for having at least a few BBQ’s every summer to gather friends and family and have a great meal, play some games and of course… to socialize and chit-chat!

So, what do you wear to these type of events? You want to be casual and comfortable yet not look like you’re ready for the beach [. . .]

One of the most classic sandal styles out there has got to be the espadrille. This style has been around practically since footwear was invented and offers a fresh and flirty look for summer dress-up days. Ginnifer Goodwin is pictured rocking a pair while filming the movie Something Borrowed, due out June 2011. I hadn’t heard of this movie (or accompanying book) before putting this post together, but [. . .]
