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 [ . . . ]

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 [ . . . ]

Wedding season has just gotten underway, but our wedding shoe series is drawing to a close. Our final model is another ShoeMall employee – Rachel K. Her dress is a great example of a timelessly elegant wedding dress. The cut, style and simple embellishments make this a dress that has the potential to be fashionable many years into the future. Who knows, if she has a daughter someday it may even become a family heirloom!

When pairing shoes and accessories with an elegant dress, you have a couple of options. You can [ . . . ]

This week, I get to reflect back on my own wedding! It’s hard to believe how much time has gone by since I put on my wedding dress and walked down that aisle. It was definitely one of the most memorable days of my life – a feeling I’m sure most newlyweds share! I was one of the first of my friends to get married and have recently had the pleasure of helping a few of them pick out their own wedding dresses. I’ve definitely had dress envy! When I got married I desperately wanted [ . . .]

We’re excited to announce a new blog series here on The Shoe Diaries.

It was a bittersweet evening at my house on Wednesday. Although I did get to enjoy new episodes of The Middle, CougarTown and Modern Family, I also watched the very last episode of Ugly Betty. As you probably already know, I’m going to miss it! (FYI – if you haven’t watched the finale yet and don’t want to know how it ends, you may want to skip this post. There will be spoilers!)

One of my all-time favorite television shows is Friends. The name is very fitting – not only do you feel like you know the characters and are personally involved in their lives, but it’s the perfect show to watch with a group of girlfriends. I remember starting to get into the show in 6th grade with my friend Jessica, and have fond memories of watching Friends with friends all the way up to the final season during my freshman year of college.

The Winter Olympics are back! Some years I really get into the games, and some years I don’t. This year – I’m loving it! I was looking forward to watching speed skating, but have found myself interested in a lot more than just this. Skiing and snowboarding have really caught my attention, and I have even found myself fascinated by the game of logic that is curling. (Shocking, I know!)

Although I have dabbled in many sports, I am definitely not what anyone in their right mind would call an athlete. [ . . . ]

Jon Gosselin has certainly been causing quite a stir this week! First there was the news that he would no longer be included as a headliner in the TLC show Jon & Kate Plus 8 – soon to be known as Kate Plus 8. Next came reports that Jon was delaying his divorce from Kate for 90 days. The one-two punch came yesterday when Jon announced that he was using the legal system to halt all production of his show. He followed this revelation with a revealing appearance on the Larry King show. [ . . . ]
