What Color is Your Sole?
This summer has been one of transition for me: I have gone from high-heel skeptic–thinking high-heels weren’t practical, even a little oppressive–to vowing to myself to one day purchase a pair of Christian Louboutins. I’ve become completely smitten with the red-soled, sky-high (in price and in height) Christian Louboutin shoes. Red is my color–it is […]
Vince Camuto Visits Stylish Dallas Women at Dillard’s
I was in my exercise clothes, when my friend called and told me I had to go up to Dillards to meet Vince Camuto.  No way….I had to look glamorous to tell him about the Sole Sisters Film project. But a woman has to do what she has to do in 100 degree weather. I would have downed […]

Two of a Kind
We love our shoes, spend a lot of time shopping for just the right pair for a given outfit, and are aware of how every shoe feels. How can it be then that the most common shoe story we’ve all heard and experienced has to do with two different shoes being worn at the same […]
