Shoe Suggestions for Keri Russell

Keri Russell is beautiful but we think the styling of this particular look seems as if she came out of a 90's magazine cover. She could have styled her hair up and might we suggest these shoes instead?

Badgley Mischka Spring 2012 Shoe Collection

My favorite flower adorned shoe in my favorite color--turquoise.

Badgley Mischka's shoes for spring really had a dose of special treatment--the ones that will make you believe that you are living in a tropical paradise.

A cheaper alternative to Manolo Blahnik's 'Hangisi' pump

Badgley Mischka 'Lissa' satin peep toe with brooch detail, $169.99 at Piperlime.

If you could remember, I have included Manolo Blahnik's 'Hangisi' pumps in my list of best shoes of 2010. It is probably Blahnik's most popular design. It was popularized by Sarah Jessica Parker and her alter ego Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City. Since then, many stars were seen wearing the jeweled pump.

If you are one of the many admirers of 'Hangisi' with a little budget to spare for a pair, you might want to try Badgley Mischka's 'Lissa' pump with the same satin upper and brooch detail like Blahnik's. It doesn't look exactly the same as Blahnik's since Mischka's is a peep toe and the brooch is oval while the latter is rather square, but, it gives the same effect--elegance and sophistication.

Finding the Perfect Shoe Online

Mark & James by Badgley Mischka 'Paxton' platform sandals, $251 at Zappos Couture.

Whenever I go shoe shopping, I have a lot of things that I consider: style, color, heel height, comfort and price. These five things are what I always keep in mind to save precious time and hard earned money. But, I could not check on all five whenever I go online shoe shopping because I could not fit the shoe. This is where comments and feedbacks from previous buyers take important part in the process. More often than not, their feedbacks are true. 

Just recently, I bought shoes online through my aunt and mom and when I received them, it fits perfectly on my huge feet and I thank the previous buyers for their comments.

You see, finding the perfect pair of shoes is just like people search online. You give the basic details of the item you are looking for--color, size, brand and price. If you get a match, you resort to buying. 

Online shoe stores, numerous of them, have really useful and user friendly options to make online shoe shopping a breeze. Some even have promos--free shipping and discounts--to lure even more their unsuspecting website visitors.

My tip for online shoe shoppers, always read customer reviews and comments of the shoe you wanted to buy but in case the shoe has no review yet, read carefully the description of the shoe (material, heel height, the size and the like) and ask their customer service representative for their return and replacement policies.
