Shoes and Swimwear. What's your style?

So you've purchased your purple Divinita Sole swimsuit by Diviine Modestee but now you are wondering what footwear will be a) the most practical, b) comfy yet stylish, or c) the hands-down hottest?? I help you with that!

If this....

....or this....

Is your swimsuit (or even if you have a purple swimsuit from somewhere else!) here's a few summer shoes that will look fab no matter what your style is.

If your style is more practical, which is why you have a Divinita Sole swimsuit, you will LOVE these flipflops from Zappos.com:

These flipflops are by DVS, a skate company out of California. Known for practical shoes with high-comfort and movement, these flipflops are pretty much guaranteed to be luxurious for your feet.

If you go for comfort with a touch of style, which is why you have a Divinita Sole swimsuit in the first place, you just might like these shoes by BCBGeneration, also from Zappos:

Their foam/rubber sole is very comfortable and the little bit of heel combined with the sparkles give them just the right touch of glam. These also have a great price at $38.95.

If your style is all-out runway fashion, which is why you rock your Divinita Sole swimsuit, then try on these heels for size:

With the high heel, they'll visually elongate and thin your legs and because they are a slide they will be a breeze to kick off for a dip in the pool or a frolic on the beach. What could be more perfect? These shoes are Gwyneth Zan, also available at Zappos.com.

I'll admit that while I am a crazy shoe fool, while wearing a swimsuit I would probably go for the middle pair. I'm just a little too timid to wear a 4-inch heel at the pool. OK, quite a bit too timid. So which would you prefer? Are you brave and confident enough to wear the slides? Or just prefer to be completely comfortable? Post a comment and let me know!

Shoe Love!

I've been searching for the perfect pair of shoes to go with my Moonlight Blue Brecken dress from the new Diviine Modestee dress line and I found these killer shoes by Miss Sixty. I LOVE them! After hours of shoe-shopping online I found them at Piperlime, which is one of my favorite online shoe stores. I'm really excited about these pair of shoes because not only are they are sale (woot!) but they will also match both the Moonlight Blue dress and the Stone one as well should I decide to get that one too. Which I'll probably do since I adore that dress. ----------------------> See, great dress!

Hopefully these shoes are as comfortable as they are hot!

The Hunt for the Perfect Shoe

Not to stereotype, but like most gals, I love a good shoe. I love the summer for it's bright and breezy wedges and the fall/winter for boots. LOVE boots! During the summer, I purchased this Polka Dot Skirt and Red Bowtie Tee (below) from Diviine ModesTee and wanted some really awesome shoes to go with it.

I had my little heart set on red wedges. In the past I have had really good luck with purchasing shoes on eBay (NO! Not used!) so I decided to give that a try again. I bid and won these shoes:

I swearthey weren't 5 inches high on eBay! While they went really well with the outfit...bows and all...I was reminded a little too much of Dorothy on stilts. In fact, I wore these one day to the office and was soundly mocked and ridiculed. Probably because I could hardly walk.

So obviously these were not going to work. "I'll try eBay again", I thought, where I saw these absolutely adorable wedges.

Unique-looking and not quite so amazon-inducing. I Could not WAIT to get these shoes! When they finally came I was in heaven! So adorable! The next day I decide to wear my Polka Dot Skirt to work so that I can wear these shoes. I haul out these shoes and attempt to put them on. There I have a teensy problem.

Can you spot what doesn't belong? Oh, that's right! *slaps forehead* the buckles go on the OUTSIDE of the shoes! *sigh* (Insert a really good two-left-feet-joke right here)

But I just can't let eBay go. Third time's the charm, right? Right. Bid, won and received these:

Cute, wedges, unique, not made for two left feet...they were perfect! I've always prescribed to the theory that Beauty Hurts...the cuter the shoe, the more it's going to cause you pain and sorrow. Not these babies.

Next time I buy an outfit I'm going to make sure I already have shoes to go with it. This whole process took almost 6 weeks. Six weeks before I could wear the cute outfit because of the lack of proper, stylish footwear. And no, I did not get my money back for the defective shoes. I wanted to have them to blog about....duh!
