Throw Away Shoes

We all have a great pair of heels in our closet that we will continue to repair until the end of time.  Maybe they are just your favorite heels, a pair of stilettos that you can tie a special event to, or simply, they were really expensive .  You take the high heels to the repair shop where you can often be met with a high priced repair bill.  So it makes you wonder if just finding affordable high heels is the way to go.

I have fallen victim to both buying heels that were extremely expensive.  So much so that I almost didn’t want to wear them because I was afraid of wearing them out.  I have also bought extremely cheap heels, stilettos, flats, and platforms only to watch them fall apart after one wear.  So is there a middle ground? Yes.  Today, with the competition being what it is and many of the women’s shoes being made in China shoes are being made with alternative materials driving down the cost of materials and labor and still producing a shoe that is stylish and fun.  In fact many of the shoes we are selling in our store, Deborah Stilettos, 16 W Bridge Street, New Hope, Pa and on our website www.DeborahStilettos.com come with replacement heels.  So when the little black rubber tip wears down to the metal on the back of the heel you just pull it out and stick an new one in.  It’s a remarkable idea because you are getting two cycles out of each use.

These Heels Were Made for Walking But Not Traveling

As I previously mentioned, in a few weeks I will be traveling to Las Vegas to visit the world’s biggest shoe show.  Of course, there is pressure to wear the most adorable heels because you are amongst the fashion gurus and their models.  I would love to tell you I am a throw it in a backpack and jet kind of girl but that would be like asking lightening to strike me.  Packing for an overnight trip to a friends house can be a daunting task but for the shoe show…there is planning.

The airlines have almost made it impossible for you to traveling with style and flexibility as extra baggage is almost as expensive as buying another plane ticket for your bags.  Women today are not only pressured to dress smartly but to pack that way as well.  The first thing I do now when I travel is put a lot of thought into what I will wear.  Choosing standard colors also means I can use the same shoes for different outfits.  A black suit or gray dress can both be worn with a stylish pair of black pumps.  If you are in the same situation that I will be in… where fashion is paramount, shoe accessories might be your solution.  These fabulous clip on jewels can add just enough bling to your outfit.  This gives the heel a new look- allowing any shoe to become an affordable heel.

If you truly cannot live without your shoes while you travel, consider mailing them ahead.  Just make sure you insure the package for the full replacement value of your heels, pumps, stilettos, platforms, boots and flats.  Also, make sure that you notify the hotel you will be staying that there will be a package being delivered to you so that they may keep it in a safe place until you arrive.

Well bon voyage…and may you be safe in your travels…Kisses Bellas, Deborah Stilettos – www.DeborahStilettos.com

 

Affordable Luxury- Too Good To Pass Up

Who ever said that dressing stylish and classic had to cost a lot of money?  Well…probably no one but yet the fashion magazines always showcase the finest of fashions and the highest of prices.  I can’t tell you how many times I have fallen in love with a pair of stilettos as I breezed through my favorite periodical only to find out that the stilettos cost $1800.00!!  On to the next page, where I would stumble upon a great new skirt…$874.00!!!  Who are wearing these?  I guess someone is but with a daughter in college and two sons eating me out of house and home these are not my shopping options.  With that being said, I have had to be resourceful.  Being fashionable does not mean that you have to remortgage the house.  It is what I like to call Affordable Luxury which of course includes affordable clothing, affordable heels, affordable stilettos and affordable accessories. And…I am ready to prove my point!
