8:54 AM fashion., nike, puma., shoes, trends, wedge sneakers No comments

Hello everyone! Hope you had a lovely weekend! So.... I know everyone has seen these wedge sneakers around. I originally fell in l-o-v-e with this trend when the Isabel Marant pairs came on the scene. But now.. there's SO many more I'm in love with... All the classic brands such as Nike, Reebok, and Puma all came out with their own pairs of the wedge sneaker, along with designers such as ASH, Marc Jacobs, Giuseppe Zanotti, and the list goes on!

You can pretty much find these wedge sneakers in a variety of different colors & price points. These are all perfect for the upcoming Spring weather, can't wait! I currently have my eyes on the black/white Nike "Dunk Sky Hi".

I'd LOVE to know, which is your favorite?

1. Rachel Zoe- Geri Sneakers

2. Nike "Dunk Sky Hi" (pink)

3. Nike "Dunk Sky Hi" (black&white)

4. Giuseppe Zanotti Lace up

5. Marc by Marc Jacobs Cutout Metallic

Wow it's Thursday. This week has flown by no???

In fact, we are already getting close to my Birthday - mid August. On another note, today I received some wedges from Fibi & Clo & I couldn't help but think how much these reminded me of my beautiful mom. My mom LOVES wedges!

Fibi and Clo has a pretty good variety of sandals & wedges that can be worn casually and even to a nice event. I mean, look at the cute B-L-I-N-G on the Capri wedges I'm wearing in this post, nice huh? None of the shoes in their collection are too high, which should make them pretty comfortable to walk in!

My mom loves a little bit of JEWELS on her shoes & these are perfect!! So, today she is dropping by & I'm going to give them to her as a SURPRISE!!

Feel free to check out the rest of the fibi & clo collection!

Joyfolie is a cute shop run by Jessica Haley. Her shop has a variety of cute wedges & peep toe shoes for little kids! It's been featured in several magazines & her line is now carried at Anthropologie!

They are colorful, sparkly and fun! One style in particular from the women's line that I love is the interchangeable flower. The Alma wedge with a chevron pattern & gold trim are perfect when you want to do a casual event or something more dressy & exciting! You can place the flower toward the bottom of the shoe, the top or just leave it off. Neat!

Jessica was kind enough to send me a pair of these beauties - but I gave them as a gift to my assistant for doing such a great job! She loved them! Here she is below showing them off....so pretty right?? I love the contrast of the mint colored polish too!!

Joyfolie is offering a 25% discount toward women's & kids shoes to all MadeByGirl readers! CODE: MADEBYGIRL25 Hurry now & get your pair!

I really LOVE what Jessica says in the bio section of her shop:

Joyfolie has led me to believe that extraordinary things are possible if  we are willing to trust in God’s plan for our lives and step forward in  the pursuit of our dreams.

Don't you love when people follow their dreams?? Awesome.

Perfect Wedges for Summer

11:43 AM fashion, shoes, summer., wedges No comments

Man, oh man. I'm so psyched that it's Friday, aren't you?

Most people leave early from work on Fridays, but unfortunately, my assistant & I are working a bit late today (I think). But hey, it's a blessing to have work, so I should just shut up & be grateful.

This weekend I'm thinking I want to shop for the perfect wedge. Wedges are the type of shoe you can walk around in & STILL be SEXY & comfortable, don't you agree?!? I admit, I DON'T often wear wedges, because they make me feel tall & skinny. Some of you are probably thinking, "what's wrong with looking tall & skinny? Is she serious?"

YES, I am. I don't like looking like an AMAZON WOMAN I guess is what I'm trying to say. So, I usually opt for wedges that aren't too high.... like #1 below, which is my absolute favorite!!!
