National Pomegranate Month

Little known fact: November is National Pomegranate Month.  (Mmm, pomegranates…and now I’m back from wasting an hour on Pinterest pinning pomegranate recipes.  What were we talking about?  Oh!  Shoes, that’s right.)

Ancient Egyptians regarded the pomegranate as a symbol of prosperity and ambition.



Ambitious, indeed!  The Plasma by Guess would be appropriate for someone with her eye on the corner office.  Sleek patent leather in pomegranate red, a pointed toe, a four-inch heel…classic but still fun!  Also available in black; your choice for $85 from Macy’s.

Some Jewish scholars believe that the pomegranate was the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.



The Basked Sandal by Zigi Soho is so seductive, isn’t it?  The faux suede upper almost reminds me of butterfly wings…gorgeous.  The heel is 4.75 inches high (ouch!), but there’s a half-inch platform to help you out with that.  (Well, it might not help much.  But sexy as these are, you may not be wearing them long!)  Also available in black; your choice for $70 from DSW.

In the Ancient Greek mythology, the pomegranate was also known as the “fruit of the dead,” and to have sprung from the blood of Adonis.



Oooh, dark.  If this is what death looks like, I think I may be down.  The Abeli is soft faux suede and sleek red patent swirled with black.  A peep toe, four-inch heel, and three-quarter-inch platform complete the look.  Also available in all black and black with cheetah, but neither holds a candle to the red and black!  Find them at Nine West for $79.


 I call pomegranates “delicious”!  Happy National Pomegranate Month!
