Betsey Johnson Gets Interviewed by Her Daughter

Betsey Johnson's daughter, Lulu, did a mother-daughter interview for Bullett Magazine which you can see at [Forbes.com]. It's such a good interview about the designs & what inspires Betsey Johnson's style which is costumes from dance as she was a dancer growing up. I love how the stores are all decorated. It's like a Gucci candy store with color, glam, & sparkles.. To die for!

Nicole Scherzinger on Her 33rd Birthday

Nicole Scherzy was celebrating her 33rd birthday at Tao. Love her dress with her nude heels. Even though everyone says nude heels go with everything, I don't agree with that. I think they need to be totally in sync with what you're wearing or they look out of place. But, that's just my opinion.

The one thing I really appreciate about Nicole is that while she sings live, she wears pretty dresses. I think she's a good role model for girls & other artists. She keeps herself fit and dresses nicely.

See more birthday photos of Nicole at [Daily Mail].

Steve Madden's "Shazzam" Shoe is a Fun & Fab Little Shoe ..

W.h.a.t. do you think of this baby? It's the Shazzam by Steve Madden. I think it's a fun little shoe. Definitely, a clunker and a "don't take me seriously" kind of shoe. It's all for fun. I've seen it around by other designers too. The heel is 5.5 & the platform is a massive 2.5 inches. Singer 22 has it on for $149.00.

There's other similar Madden shoes without the print at Singer.

Funk Up Your Shoe Closet With the Bette Wedge by Rock & Republic

This Rock & Republic shoe is new at Heels.com. I think it's pretty cute. I love the gold trim & the way the leather covers the heel and platform. It's 5.5 inches which isn't too bad for a wedge. They are pricey little gems but worth it.

Sway Handbags in NYC Selected for "Best Green Handbags" by Timberland

Belinda Pasqua, the designer of Sway handbags in NYC was selected as winner of the "Best Green Handbag" at the 2011 Independent Handbag Designer Awards on June 15th.

I saw this Sway handbag in July's Elle magazine and thought it was cute. Sway uses recycled leather materials that other companies don't use. See the collection at [theswaynyc.com].

Shoe Reviews For the Jessica Simpson Collection

I thought it would be fun & informative to post a few reviews from purchasers of the Jessica Simpson Collection shoes. Great reviews overall.

These reviews are from :

Tova - From Port St Lucie, FL - "Gorgeous shoe! They are super comfy and surprisingly lightweight. They fit true to size and are very easy to walk in if you are used to high platforms. Highly recommend...I bought both colors."

Trixie - From Aaliyah N from Shepard - "So nice & love them but sadly have to return! They are way too small; about an inch of my foot hangs out the back, so I highly recommend you order a size up or you'll be sorry you didn't. These shoes seem to be running out fast."

Coronia - From Mel B from Atlanta, GA - "These are so cute and really make your legs look long and sexy! Surprisingly I went out dancing all night and my feet were just fine the next day. The black is perfect and goes with a lot. I'm not a fan of the other colors or else I'd have bought more! :)"

Here's a few reviews from Heels.com

Bendie - From UrbanAddiction from Tampa, Florida - "These heels fit me perfect to the T. Because the way they are made they should fit most feet comfortably."

Astor - From Dizzy-Lizzy from Zurich (Switzerland) - "So sexy - you'll get in danger..." (I love this review. So cute!)

Betsey Johnson at Zappos

I noticed this Betsey Johnson dress at which is on sale with a $100 markdown. I think it's adorable with the ruffles throughout the skirt and sweetheart neckline. It's one of my favorite Betsey dresses. The rose color would look gorgeous with any hair color.

Favorite Bebe Picks From the Haus!

I was looking at this dress in the store and it's totally gorge with its' color. The material is really soft too. It's almost sold out online & there's very few in the store. Not so surprising.

While at Bebe, I tried the holly strap sandal on. I love this shoe. It's quite high at 5.5 inches on a skinnier heel but I got over it quite quickly. It comes in beige too which is really pretty & happens to be on sale now.

Another favorite shoe of mine is the Betty patented shoe. This heel is 6 inches, so we're getting a little higher by the shoe! But again, it's easy to adapt to. Definitely not an outside shoe though! It's half off right now which is totally fab. It's one of Bebe's best sellers.

This top is a new arrival. I love orange and the off-shoulder style, along with the tie at the waist. I think orange will be trending again in the fall. It's such a warm color.

I love this colorblock top. The waist ties are very flattering. This item is also on sale. You can wear it with a long black skirt, a short skirt or dress pants. It also comes in print which is cute too. Again, I'm following my favorite color trend of orange & pink. Do you like these colors together?

This is one of my favorite Bebe maxi dresses. The colors are totally gorgeous and the material is nice & soft. You can wear flats, wedges or heels with it and it's still dressy.

New Strapless Ruffle Dress at Bebe

This strapless a-line ruffle dress is new at [Bebe]. I love all of the ruffles & the heart-shaped top. It is just so cuteee! Reminds me of a Betsey Johnson dress.

The Jessica Simpson Collection Has a Shoe Suggestion Box

The has updated their website so now in the shoe section it will make suggestions for other shoes you may like. Love it.

So.. do you buy your shoes first & then your outfit? I do both but when I buy shoes I "try" to think if they are seasonal, practical & how high. Of course in the end, none of that really matters. lol!

I hope everyone "carries" your shoes in a bag with you. Unless you're being picked up or have a car. Walking around in your heels on uneven pavement is dangerous and it totally wrecks your shoes. I know I've said that before but seriously, my shoes are all in "new" condition.
