According to Blogger, this is my 418th
post. And with only a handful to go, I
thought it might be interesting to look at the posts that have garnered the
most hits over Philly Shoe Fairy’s lifetime.
Here is the top 10 countdown of most popular PSF posts:
10. Anchors
Aweigh!
August 9,
2013. “You guys already know I love
nautical for summer. There is just
something about summer that makes me feel like I should be out on a sailboat,
eating cheese and drinking wine. But
since I don’t really enjoy being out on sailboats, I’ll just get my seafaring
touch from my shoes. And anchors,
especially, seem to be everywhere right now!”
9. Passover
March 23,
2012. “Yes, I know, it’s a
little early for Passover. While it doesn’t officially start for two
weeks, the Gershwin Y is
celebrating early! This Sunday, from 6:00-9:00 PM, they are hosting their
annual Philadelphia
Seder. Music, dance, poetry... it truly will be, as they call it, “a
Seder like no other!” Followed by shoes
for each part of the traditional Seder.
8.
Spike Heels
July 19, 2011. “I come across a lot of shoes in my life, but not many make my
jaw drop. These did:
Oh. My. Goodness. The Cactus by Ruthie
Davis has a leather upper (yellow and bright pink), 1.5-inch platform,
and five-inch heel—covered in spikes! Look at those! My co-workers always joke
that my stilettos could hurt people, but I think this pair really could. If you
like these (and are a size 7.5) they can be yours for around $1,200 from Bloomingdale’s,
but they got me thinking—are spiky shoes a thing now?”
7. Go Phillies!
April 5,
2013. “It's time for baseball!
Hooray! So our Fightin' Phils may
have lost their first game of the season (and another besides), but we all know
that it's the home opener that really counts—and that’s tonight! The Royals are in town for (hopefully) a
royal butt-kicking, and you’d better look the part!”
July 13,
2012. “The maximum number of Friday
the 13ths that any year can have is three.
Guess how many we’ve had in 2012?
Three! An especially unlucky
year? Nonsense! But just for fun, here are lots of unlucky
things—in shoe form!”
January 10,
2012. “A new shoe store graces our
fair city! Yay! Recently opened at 1710 Walnut is a new Dr.
Martens store—the only Dr. Martens store in the greater PA/NJ area, in
fact! (The next nearest is NYC. Other stores between there and here carry
their shoes, of course, but there isn’t a whole dedicated store! We’re special.)”
August 24,
2012. “High heels do many awesome
things: they jazz up an outfit. They make us feel happy. They make
us stand straighter. They take up an obscene amount of space in our
closets. They drive men wild (perhaps because of the aforementioned lack of
closet space). Unfortunately, they also shrink our
calf muscle fibers, and thicken our Achilles tendons. Don't worry, it's not hopeless! Some
simple stretches after a day in stilettos can help counteract this.”
November 18,
2011. “This weekend is the Philadelphia
Marathon! A full weekend of runs: an 8K, a half marathon, and the official
26.2-mile grueler through Old City, University City, Fairmount Park, out to
Manayunk, back in... god, I’m exhausted already, and I’m not even running. If
you are, though, you’ll need proper shoes. I found a really cool find-a-shoe thing at
Runner’s World where you can enter info about your feet and running style and
it’ll help pick you the perfect shoe. I may not be able to be quite that
specific with you, but here are some awesome running shoes anyway!”
2. Book Shoes!
October 19,
2012. “So on Tuesday I gave you a book about
shoes. Today I give you: shoes covered in a book!”
1. Summer Flats
May 29, 2012. “Yay! Summer’s here! (Well, maybe not meteorologically, but
culturally.) I had a request for summer flats—easy, comfortable,
stylish. Happy to oblige!”
On Friday, I’ll give you my top 10 favorite
posts. Until then, love and sparkles!
