Sneaks.

How is it that the French can even make sneakers look sexy? Both girls are wearing Bensimon sneakers, basically the French equivalent of Chuck Taylors but cooler somehow. You can find the lace-up or laceless versions at Habitat shoe boutique for $55.

mou’ve over uggs there’s a new boot in town

I really tried to avoid the UGG revolution, mostly because I think Kate Hudson is lame and she was the first celebrity I saw wearing them Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, but after moving to the Winter wonderland of Utah I finally bit the bullet and bought these last year. Now that I’ve become a convert of the furry boot revolution — they seriously are snugly and warm — I wish I had a pair of these UK-based Mou boots. I like the pretty crocheted trim, the rugged sole and that they come in an array of fun colors. They’ll set you back as much or more as a pair of UGG’s especially since prices are in pounds but I think they’re worth it.

This time of year I always start coveting boots. These comfy looking studded Frye boots are my latest crave. With my fast lane real estate days behind me there are no more annual bonuses which means no more bonus boots. Then again I have become a super savvy ebay seller in my time off so I could sell my Sigerson Morrison boots to help me buy these Frye boots. Or perhaps they could take the place of a baby bauble present from the hubs and instead become a baby boot gift. Either way these boots are on my list, these boots I can’t resist!

cork sandals

I couldn’t help but admire the cute cork sandals my friend Stephani was wearing at the Jackie Greene concert the other night. Like a lot of you, she loved the Swedish Hasbeens I wrote about a couple of weeks ago, but we both agree they are too expensive for most of us ladies (you can buy them from Free People starting at $190). So this post is devoted to all of us who love the vintage look of cork sandals but are looking for something that will fit into our ever shrinking budgets.

Still a little bit on the high-end are the original Kork-Ease. These will set you back about $129 but you’ll be ready to party disco-70′s style. Zappos has a huge selection from all cork Kork-Ease to metallic Kork-Ease.

In the middle price range, Clarks carries these cork styles from top left: Alameda, Miami Beach and Gelato, starting at $80. They come in a range of colors and can all be found at Zappos.

One of my favorite inexpensive sources for cork soled shoes has been the German brand Worishofer which start at the very affordable $49.95. The hubs thinks these shoes look a little goofy but I love them and swear by how comfortable they are. I also like the fact that my Grandma Helen wore them! You can buy them online through Continental Imports.
