Friday Shoegasm: Reminders for every good Shoe Whore at BlogHer
Friday, July 30, 2010 BlogHer is quickly approaching (holy laundry! business cards! blog renovations!) and if you are anything like me, lovelies, you're more worried about how many pairs of 5-inchers you can pack in your suitcase than what sessions you'll be attending.
Not that the sessions aren't (ahem) important! Of course, they are. They are the chance to slip off those 5-inchers and prop your feet up on a friend or random commenter or unsuspecting lady eating a croissant in the chair next to you.
I love seeing so many of my favorite women crammed into one cocktail party and pulling each other's hair for some vegetable scrubber swag. And so clearly, I want to look fabulous walking from my hotel room to wherever the coffee is and into the wrong suite for one more session on monetization. It's just the pacing, running for a drink and standing for hours that's the killer in the oh-so pretty peep toes.
Last year, I wrote these 7 steps to taking care of your tootsies (and heels and arches and inevitable blisters) whilst at BlogHer. The venue has changed but the advice hasn't.
Read up, chickens. Then run out and stock up on cheap band-aids and cushy inserts. Put some flip-flops in your handbag, give my tips one more once-over and you'll be good to go.
I promise.
And if you need some sympathy for your numb third toe or a compliment on your killer shoes, find me. You'll know me by my completely clompy ruffle clog-heel sandals by Fergie (uh-hmm, Fergie, pictured above).
What shoes will you be wearing to BlogHer? Link it up, lovelies!
Need cash 4 shooz? I'm giving away a $100 Visa gift card -- think of the delicious shoes that could buy you! Click on over for my easy, peasy Lilith Fair contest that's running through August 4th.
