Cinderella’s Got Nothing on Me
We received an empowering shoe story via email today from Felicia Coley, author of How to Stylishly Fall From Grace, and thought we would share with you. We love her motto as posted on her blog: “Sometimes life’s destiny does not include you being swept off your feet. Sometimes it’s just standing in the light […]
The Epitome of Style
Our favorite childhood shoes may be long gone but the memories they create never stray too far. Stephanie Chambers shared a beautiful story about her memories of beginning first grade and the shiny saddle oxfords that took her there in the “epitome of style.” “My Mom took a picture of me with hands on my […]
