My Heel Maintenance Opinion....

Hi Luv's

It's early Monday morning and boy do I have a heel disaster to share with you all. 

Now SHOES are in competition with diamonds for most girls; its their best friend 
and one of my true loves. My shoe closet has definitely increased over time. Not 
sure if that's good or bad, but either way its increased. I am not sure about 
yall, but I love variety in everything and that includes shoes. My shoes range 
from expensive to inexpensive. Now we all know inexpensive shoes from lower end 
stores such as Target can be sketchy. 

Sighhh so my journey Saturday night was a huge mess lol. I won't get into the nitty 
details but basically the sole on the heel of my cute booties from Tarjay came 
off. Now I'm sure most of you have had heel repair moments on shoes not just 
inexpensive shoes, but shoes in general. It just sucks when it happens in the 
rain and your not going straight home ::clears throat:: but that's neither here 
nor there lol. 

Anyways, one of my ultimate shoe pet peeves is hearing the sound a heel makes 
when the bottom sole is off. Ohhh MMM Geee so you can imagine I was pissed to 
the 10th power. Plus its tacky and embarrassing but obviously it wasn't 
something I could help at the moment. 

That got me thinking about the quality of shoes. Although you spend less money 
for a pair of shoes (depending on the shoe) the maintenance can add up. Whereas 
if you bought an expensive shoe of better quality from jump their would be less 
money involved in maintaining it. 

Its def food for thought, but it does present a blurry line because although 
expensive shoes give you quality and luxury (trust me I love Louboutin's like the 
next chick) it doesn't mean that all inexpensive shoes are of bad quality. 

What do you think?

I think, like with anything, its up to you to decide on the investment (short or 
long term), know the pros and cons, and be able to deal with whatever 
consequences may happen. I personally, am not ashamed to admit that I've owened 3 or 4 
pairs of Tarjay shoes over the past few years and the quality is really not that bad. 
However; shoes are a MAJOR investment so they should be thought about critically and 
fashionably.

With that being said now onto Monday's...

Name: Frances
Price: $100.00
Retailer: Babyphat.com

 So I wanted to feature these adorable flat tall boots from Babyphat because they definitely caught my eye. Personally, I think Babyphat has some adorable stuff, but I CANNOT deal with the branding of the name on EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF GARMENT. It's the most annoying thing ever. I am too old for that lol, BUTTTT these boots do not have Babyphat anywhere on them except the bottom ofcourse,which I love. They are tasteful, simple and adorable. Perfect for casual wear and thensome. Not to mention they are sold in most urban stores such as Dr. Jays. Definitely check them out. These are totally on my shopping list :-).
