How to Wear It!


We tweeted about these amazing shoes from Fly London yesterday and the response was "They are awesome, but how do you wear them???" We definitely aim to please At 12th Street Shoes, so this morning Krista & I went over to Blue Horizon Clothing store. We looked through their amazing clothing selection until we found the perfect outfit to help the shoes shine! We actually found two outfits that would look fabulous with the shoes and Krista thought of a third but it is just a touch early for shorts at Blue Horizon.

Below are the two outfits. Doesn't Krista look fabulous! Krista also thought these shoes would look great with a pair of shorts and a patterned blouse - something sung at the waist but wispy up top. These shoes are fabulous and so sexy! The rest of their Spring line is just as amazing!

Spring Flowers



The weather may not be cooperating but Spring is in the air in the store! The flowers are blooming on top of the shoes : ) The look is so feminine. The shoes up top are from Born. I love the color! I am so happy that color is back in! The shoes below are from Sofft. The coral is just an amazing color. I love the bronze too. It would make a great shoe for a wedding. It is so comfortable too! It is on a platform so don't let the height scare you.

Even Shoe Experts Make Mistakes

The last time Krista and I went to the shoe show, I don't know what I was thinking but I wore a pair of shoes that I adore - without socks. I am so used to the Pacific Northwest weather which is very mild. Those same shoes that I never have trouble with gave me blisters at the shoe show because we were in Vegas where, as you all know, gets HOT! My poor little feet started to sweat and I didn't have socks on. An hour into the show I had blisters on my feet. I should have taken pictures of my feet - they were covered in band-aids.

After the first day of the show, Krista and I tried to find little peds, but I guess those aren't popular in Vegas, so I ended up with tube socks. Of course all I brought with me were skirts and cropped pants and let me tell you how cute the tube socks looked with my outfits!

Now the shoes above, I bought in Vegas too during that show. My feet hurt so bad, that I couldn't wear any of the shoes I brought, so I ended up with these flip-flops. I couldn't believe with all the shoes I own, I had to spend $30 on a pair of plastic flip-flops just so I could find a little bit of relief.

It is fun to open the boxes to see what we had ordered over 6 months ago. It is like a big birthday surprise. Yeah!! Check out these new lovelies...












These are all new Privos. I love them! The little white one is soooo cute. Kelli says the sandal is great for bunions. Some of these come in wide widths too. This is new for Privo - I like it! Removable insoles, massage sole and if you are looking for just a little different color, let us know, we would be happy to special order for you.
