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.

The Dec. 7, 2009 issue of Woman’s World is available this week, and on pages 8 and 9 you will find “11 Trendy Holiday Accessories You Already Own!” There are some really good tips and tricks to dazzling up your “plain janes” in the closet! Add a brooch or clip-on earring to your jewelry, handbags, and even your shoes!

Mootsies Tootsies Hot Heels $44.95

The 11th trendy holiday accessory is the Mootsies Tootsies Hot Heels pump that retails for $44.95 on ShoeMall. According to Woman’s World, heels and flats with bejewled accents are a great choice for evening. Instead of buying a new pair, they paired this shoe with a colorful clip-on earring accent. In case your in the mood to  splurge on a new pair of shoes this holiday season, go ahead and try the Jessica Simpson Dereck for $89.95.  You will be sure to turn heads with these heels!

Jessica Simpson Dereck $89.95

The Fall 2009 special Fashion & Beauty issue of all you magazine came out with lots of great “Look and Feel Your Best for less” tips, and ShoeMall was included on several pages.

Bandolino Shuga

On pages 16 and 17 you will find the Easy Street Hello for $44.95 and the Madeline Yazz for $19.99. These metallics will go with everything this season from a skirt to dress pants or even jeans.

You will find the Bandolino Shuga for $39.99 on page 34. With a heel height like this you might be asking yourself if you could even wear these or if they would even be comfortable or not. One glance at this shoe’s reviews, and you will quickly see how satisfied these happy shoe owners are!  

Moda Spana Oblique

One of my absolute favorites is the Moda Spana Oblique found on page 36 for $39.99. This color is going to be at the top of the list this season!

On page 38 you will also find a ShoeMall shoe, the Naturalizer Whistler for $69.95. It is hard to go wrong with Naturalizer shoes because they are such a trusted brand, and have definitely taken trend up a notch the last couple seasons.

That’s all for this issue, and many more to come! Which one is your favorite? I’ve already told you mine!

I never really thought of Pushing Daisies as a must see primetime show, but I must say that I did enjoy all the episodes that I did take the time to watch. I always felt it would make a better movie rather than a TV series just because it seemed to fit my movie-type: The romantic comedy and an added bonus… with a fairy tale twist. Recently, I have heard more conversations that there may be a movie in the works sometime soon. Let’s cross our fingers for that to actually happen.

I was so proud of Kristin Chenoweth for winning an Emmy this past Sunday, it was so nice to see her get the recognition she deserves for her performances on the show. I just heard earlier today that she was ill backstage at the Emmys with a severe migraine headache. Ouch! For those of you who have suffered with one of them yourselves or know something who has, this would definitely not be a good, especially on Emmy night in front of millions of people. Who knows, with her Emmy speech, we might see Kristin pop up on Mad Men one of these days.

Nina Fortune $99.95

Not sure if you can tell she is ill from the picture above, but I definitely can’t! She is looking absolutely stunning in her glitzy glamwear from her fabulous dress down to her heels. The Nina Fortune can be found on ShoeMall for a fraction of the cost at $99.95. Cheers Kristin!
