Well, here we are on the other side of Philly Shoe Fairy’s first birthday! I think the party was a rousing success—thank you to all who came to celebrate! I am happy to report that many found just the pair of shoes they were looking for... maybe two! Here are some shoes that found happy homes Sunday morning:
This bright number went home with Rosie: “I’ve been looking for red shoes forever!” The Minnie by Liz Claiborne are red patent leather peep-toe slingbacks with a 2.5-inch heel—perfect for work! You can find them online at DSW.com for $40 (also available in navy and beige), but Rosie got hers for 30% off!
Another pair of red shoes went home with Maria:
“Look at the way they shine and change color in the light! The epitome of cuteness and class,” she gushes. And she’s right: the Vega by Sofft are black cherry beauties practically glow from inside. They have a 2.75-inch heel, sweet buckle, and round toe, and while they’re not on DSW.com, you can find them at SeaSoles for $69 (but Maria got hers for 30% off too!).
Mia picked up two pairs—a sneaker and a heel:
“Classic snakeskin in lavender with a feminine bow and my go-to walking shoe!” The heel is the Pippy by Moda Spana, and while technically the color is listed as “taupe” Mia and I both agree it looks like a soft lavender. It has a 3.75-inch stacked heel and a three-quarter-inch cork platform, and you can find them on DSW.com for $60 (also available in yellow!).
The sneaker is the Gel Cumulus by Asics. It has cushioning designed especially for women’s feet and a ton of other features... apparently even the eyelets that hold the laces were specially placed! I can’t find them at DSW.com, but they are at Lady Foot Locker for $95 (though Mia got hers for 30% off!).
Renee left with two pairs as well!
“If it has chains I probably love it,” she says. And the Ariel by Mix No. 6 (on the right) certainly has chains—and flowers and beads and awesomeness. Check them out for yourself at DSW.com—they come in the red multi Renee got, and also a nude and brown combo. Both beautiful; each $45.
“I’m not a flower girl but I just love these!” Renee said of the Apple of my Eye by Poetic License. It’s got a 4.25-inch heel and one-inch platform in a lovely blue, with a bronze strap across the toe with three tulle roses and patterned fabric up the front and around the ankle. Also available in a cool red combo; while I can’t find them at DSW.com they are at 6pm for $43.
Shoes were bought; prizes were won; fun was had; shoevenger hunts were completed; muffins were eaten. A very, very special thank you to Nancy (the KoP DSW manager) and her wonderful, wonderful staff! If I ever go into the shoe-selling business, I want it to be with them. They were beyond fantastic!
