Bust a tunic! Sorry, it’s a catchy jingle. Tunics are really hot this spring, as we can observe by the Old Navy item ad seen in every must-see television program. It’s also really plain to see why tunics are in, they’re the best looking tops of the season; flattering for all figures. The longer length covers bellies, and many styles have rouching over the stomach, which slims pooches! It’s a more grown up look than the teeny (as in tiny and as in “for teens”) tank tops, but there are many cute options, so you can look appropriate for whatever age you are.

Tunics are truly an item “for all the ladies out there.” Entry continued, read more »

You’re not married to a size. Sometimes its hard when going from store to store and fitting in “larger” sizes than you think you “are.” Sizes even vary within one store. Sizes especially vary with different types of clothing.

Don’t let your feelings get hurt if the jeans don’t fit in a size 8. And if there is tightness in question, do not hesitate to just try a larger size in that tank top.

And note, this is important, a larger size can make YOU look smaller.

Just a quick note to say that yesterday, we broke 10,000 VISITS. Back to the regular posting of shoes and fashion after this.

In a routine check of my site stats, I noticed a referral hit to our handbag blog, Pursed Lips, from a My Yahoo page. I found this intriguing and to be quite a compliment, so I investigated. I had to sign up for myself to really figure this out. It’s tough, but if one adds content and clicks on “Editor’s Picks,” one can search for any type of site in any interest. Kiss Me, Stace; Shoe Blog was number 5 on that list!

Manolo’s Shoe Blog was number 1, of course, but he was also # 2. The second Manolo is his old address. # 3, “Shoes Blog” from trendlist, appears to be a professional site offering discount deals in apparel, but not a blog at all. #4 is a non-updated Golf Shoes blog … but wait! read that. It’s nonsensical and content-less … also importantly, though not for golf shoes, picture-less. The list goes on to mostly repeat itself. Entry continued, read more »
