The Shoe Diaries

I’m not going to lie – if the Packers aren’t in the Super Bowl, I only watch for the newest commercials. I love choosing a favorite from among the wacky, high-priced spots. I won’t turn down a good football feast either – bring on the chicken wings and chips! I can’t wait!

If I’m forced to watch a football game, the Colts versus the Saints isn’t so bad. I adore Peyton Manning. No, not for his athletic prowess, but for his funny bone! His turn as host on Saturday Night Live a few years ago was hilarious. I love seeing someone with that much talent able to make fun of himself on national TV. His mock-ad for United Way is definitely one of the funnier skits I’ve seen.

A win by the Saints would bring the Lombardi Trophy to New Orleans for the first time. It’s also the team’s first appearance in the big game. An event like that is special no matter what team is behind it. I’m also impressed by the goodwill Drew Brees has shown his team and community. It’s hard to pick a favorite between these two teams!

There are a couple of Hollywood reality stars with a pretty big interest in the big game as well. Kendra Wilkinson will be cheering on her husband, Hank Baskett, as he plays with the Indianapolis Colts. She’ll be there with the couple’s young son, who will be sporting a bite size Colts jersey. Kim Kardashian has been in Miami the past couple of days supporting her on-again boyfriend Reggie Bush. I’m sure she’ll be hoping that Reggie will be able to help the Saints bring home the victory.

Rampage Dania Sandal

Not only do these two women have ties to Sunday night’s rival teams, they also seem to have completely different styles when it comes to their shoe choices. Kim is pictured above wearing her ubiquitous black stiletto pumps. Kendra is sporting a metallic silver sandal. From what I know about these two, the shoes pictured really reflect their personal style. Sexy and timeless versus flirty and fun. I think these choices mesh with their personalities as well!

Fergie Nacho Pump

If you are looking to copy Kendra’s style, take a look at the Rampage Dania Sandal. With a price tag of only $44.95, this sassy shoe is hard to beat. The four inch heel on the Fergie Nacho Pump make this an excellent choice if you’re more into Kim’s footwear. I also really love the textured look of this shoe.

 So who do you want to win tomorrow night? And – more importantly – whose shoe style do you like the best? Let us know in the comment section below.

Jessica Simpson Abilene $209.95

Boots, Boots, Boots!

Whether you want to look like an urban cowgirl or biker babe, fall 2009 is definitely the year of the boot! The best thing about this years boot trend is that it is covering so much ground.

Western has completely exploded this fall with full perforated and classic stitch detail to the plaid shirts with snap buttons. Time for Brittany (Spears) to haul hers out of the closet…AGAIN! I though she would never take hers off in 2007 — maybe she was just ahead of all of us from the start!

Steve Madden Korset $149.95

Granny boots have hit the scene with corset lacing and surprising detail like peep toes and ruffles.

The sassiest boot look to come back by far is the over the knee tall boots. Think of the movie Pretty Women, but you won’t have to color in the heels with a black marker on these. Dress it up or down with your favorite tunic and leggings, from suede to leather, high heel or flat, this is a boot trend to design your outfit around. Khloe Kardashian knows how to rock the thigh highs in this simple yet feisty look!

Last but not least, if you want to look like you are riding a horse or a Harley, flat boots are a hit. We all want to look fashionable but not pay the price with swollen, sore feet. Three cheers for riding and motorcycle boots!

Chinese Laundry Tripin' $99.95

Basic harness boots are back and the riding boot will always be in classic style. Tuck them into skinny jeans or get a little edgy and pair them with a cotton dress and tights.

It’s been a crazy couple of months for the Kardashian family! First, big sister Kourtney surprised us all by announcing she’s having a baby this December. Not to be outdone, Khloe Kardashian followed this announcement with a quick romance leading to an even faster rush to the alter. After dating Lakers’ star Lamar Odom for about a month, the two will be tying the knot this Sunday.

As can be expected, not everyone believes this wedding is strictly about love. The rumors flying as the nuptials approach are varied. Some think the wedding is actually a cover for Kourtney and Scott’s ceremony. Some think the wedding is strictly a publicity stunt for Keeping up with the Kardashians and Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami. Some think the couple has found true love and doesn’t want to put off the inevitable. My personal favorite is the hybrid true love/publicity stunt theory. If you’re going to get married anyway, why not play it up for maximum exposure!

Regardless of the reasoning behind the madness, Khloe and Odom have already taken care of many of the mundane wedding details. The guest list has been ironed out and the registry created. The location has been selected and the ring picked up. They even held their bachelor/bachelorette parties last night.

Jessica Simpson Parigi Pump

The soon-to-be newlyweds are pictured here at the LA premier of Whiteout earlier this month. Take a look at the high heels Khloe is rocking! I guess when you’re dating a 6’10” basketball star, the higher the heel the better! Whether you’re looking for something similar to sport while out with your athlete or just love how a pair of sky-high stilettos makes you feel, the Jessica Simpson Parigi Pump is the way to go. The hidden platform not only looks stylish but also makes this 4 ½ inch heel more practical.

What a week for Kourtney Kardashian! Her new show with sister Khloe, Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, debuts on E! this Sunday. As if that weren’t enough, Kourtney had some excited news to share as well – she’s pregnant with her first child!

According to People.com, the baby will make its arrival towards the end of December. Although the pregnancy was a surprise for the actress, she’s excited to become a mother. For those of you who may be curious, the father is indeed Scott Disick. I wonder if another walk down the aisle is in the cards for these two. Those of you who watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians, may recall an almost-wedding between the two while visiting Las Vegas. I guess we’ll have to wait and see!

Nine West Fresh Look Sandal

Although the younger Kardashian sisters don’t get quite as much attention as their older siblings, they are well on their way to becoming just as glamorous as the famous trio. Kylie and Kendall attended last week’s Teen Choice Awards with Kim and Kourtney. I absolutely adore Kylie’s outfit for the event – perfection! I may have to look for something similar for myself…

 For those of you looking for a shoe similar to Kylie’s pick, take a look at the Nine West Fresh Look Sandal. The lower heel and slingback strap make this shoe a good choice for events that require lots of standing – or posing for the paparazzi!
