May Your Feet Be Dressed Well

Someone email the History Channel and tell them that King Arthur and his Knights were looking in the wrong place. I found the Holy Grail and it is the National Shoe Convention which is held in Las Vegas every year.

At a recent convention I was actually able to meet the infamous Britt Sisters which have some of my favorite shoe designs. I love their shoes because they have a playful attention to detail and wearing a pair makes you feel like everyday is a special occasion.

Believe me, when you see someone wearing a pair of Shannon Britt Shoes, you recognize them immediately.They have a naughty sassiness that makes you want to be daring and dangerous all at the same time.

Of course, being sassy, dangerous, and daring (and playful) is what being a Diva all about.

Shannon Britt Shoes- Design Duo

Shannon Britt Shoes are a collaboration between the twin Britt sisters Shannon and Shelby Britt. Their luxurious line of well made sassy shoes are one of my favorite Italian made secrets.

Since I can’t keep a secret for very long (especially after a few glasses of Chardonnay) at a recent luncheon I began to brag about my Shannon Britt Shoes to anyone who was within 5 tables of me. There is good News for Shoe Divas everywhere because Shannon Britt Shoes will now grace the shelves of both Neiman Marcus and Nordstroms.

Not that I needed an excuse to make my pilgrimage to Shoe Mecca, but the chance of having another pair of Shannon Britt shoes while sharing a cocktail with my close friends makes me makes me very happy.

Shannon Britt Shoes

This fantastic shoe is called "Abbey" and has sassy Ostrich feathers adorned at the top and they say " Look at me, but you can’t touch either of us". This shoe makes me think that Envy is the greatest of the 7 Deadly Sins.

Jealous yet?

Trust me, your friends will be. This fabulous shoe is on sale on their website and comes in delicious cream as well.

So imagine I have my Shannon Britt Shoes on and I am at a fabulous cocktail party when a handsome waiter asks me" May I get you a cocktail?".

So trying to stay sassy and classy in line with my Abbey shoes I order a Capiroska. My waiter looks puzzled so I give him my go to recipe:

1. 1/4 parts of Grey Goose Le Citron

2. 1 lime cut into 8th.

3. 1 part simple syrup

4. Club Soda

In a shaker glass muddle simple syrup and lime wedges. Pour in Grey Goose Le Citron and ice. Shake vigorously and pour into low ball cocktail glass. Top off with Club Soda and garnish with lime wedge.

Sip and be a Diva.

Too Much is Not Enough

There are Shoe Designers and then there are shoe designers that all others aspire to be- Beverly Feldman is one of those Designers. She is one of the most successful shoe designers, selling shoes in more than 50 countries, while woman (just like me) eagerly await the next collection’s arrival.

I have been a huge fan for years with over 20 pairs in my own Closet with some that I love so much I have several in the same style and color. She is an inspiration because she just seems to gets it. She is able to capture the allure of wearing the perfect shoe and feeling fabulous doing it.

Beverly Feldman- Shoe Designing Diva

These masterpeices were among the reasons I created Closet Fetish- to protect and preserve the growing Shoe Fetish that was building. I cried when one of my puppies chewed one into several pieces. I wore a pair on the launch of my very first show at the Home Shopping Network and continue to wear a pair at least once a week and I have over 300 pairs of shoes in my closet- ( no I dont think that is crazy, I think it is a good start). As usual Beverly does not dissapoint, her newest collection is a splash of fantastic and sexy- hidden among the entire collection is a real gem called Fiji.

Believe me, these Shoes are absolutely beautiful.

Featured Shoe- Fiji

This fantastic shoe makes me want to have a drink.

Let me explain.

When you are wearing something amazing, you want to really do something that makes you feel amazing. This shoe makes me want to dress up and have cocktails with my girlfriends and since I have a pair in black it is only fitting that I bring it out for Happy Hour. Morton’s is the perfect place to showcase these beauties and boss some boys around (because you can’t be a Diva if you’re not empowered by your shoes!).

These shoes call for a classic cocktail. I’ll be having a Bombay Saphire Martini…Dry. Oh, and tell James Bond that it always comes stirred…not shaken.

Stupid Boy.
