Spring Shoe Obsession: Christian Louboutin

Christian Louboutin, Mary Jane, Spring 2009Tough economic times stress me out, and when I get stressed I want to go binge shopping. Ironic, right?

In particular, I need to take three large steps back from department store displays when I peruse the Spring 2009 collection from Christian Louboutin (lest I drool all over the soft leather). I love these dusty-pink Mary Janes with brown piping. They're a little innocent, and a little sexy all wrapped up in one luxe package.

Product Review: Pedi Couture Pedicure Slippers

product review, beauty, pedi couture, pedicure slippers, pedicure sandals, pedicure flippiesI absolutely, positively hate the toe dividers used by some nail salons.  Perhaps it's my inflexible toes at fault, but some of them are downright painful.

Worse still is when the technician removes the toe separators and attempts to slip on your sandals without disturbing your fresh pedicure.

Why take a chance with a smudge, or hurt your little piggies?  These adorable slippers by Pedi Couture come equipped with the cushiest toe separators that are part of the sandal.  Slip them on before a pedicure (it's easy to do hands-free) and have your nail technician paint your toes while you're wearing them.  Then you can stroll right out, keeping your pedicure safe for drying while you run errands.

The camouflage slippers pictured in this post retail for $27.95.  Click HERE to head to the Pedi Couture website.
