Shooey's LOVE Shooties!!!

Shoes + Booties = Shooties!!

Wow!!  There are so many types of shoes out there it never cease to amaze me when I hear about another new name for a shoe, but the Shootie got me! 

A "Shootie" is the combination of a shoe and a boot.  They come up to your ankle but they never have an ankle strap.

Shooties come in a plethora of styles and colors.  I have posted a few below.

Personally I think they are great!!

Runway to Reality Event!!

Even though the temperatures are still in the 100s autumn is still insidiously sneaking upon us.  So we should prepare ourselves for the hottest trends that we can transform from the "Runway to Reality" 


I attended the 2011/2012 Fall/Winter Trends fashion event at the Houston Galleria-Neiman Marcus presented by The Fashion Group International of Houston. This event was commentated by Houston's anchor Mia Gradney, Channel 39, she did a great job!  There was a fascinating audio-visual presentation that featured many bold and intriguing looks coming from the Ready-to-Wear runway shows in Europe as well as the United States, some styles were showcased by some of Hollywoods A Listers.


The Fashion Group International brought to us some expert panelist in a Q & A session:


Stacy Swift - Director of Public Relations for Neiman Marcus Houston
Heather Staible - Contributing Lifestyle Writer for CultureMap
Edward Sanchez - Owner of Edward Sanchez Cosmetics


Along with finding out about some of the new styles, classics that are reinvented, and color blocking techniques, we were told to always remain true to your style and don't get caught up in the trends...and as Edward Sachez continued to remind us don't forget your "Lashes"!  :-)


This was a fabulous event and I look forward to attending the next occasion!  Until next time.
