Get the Boot

I am obsessed with boots right now so naturally I am obsessed about BarefootTess.com.  They have hundreds of AMAZING boots in sizes 11 to 15.  I mean, I want to win the lottery just so I can buy every boot that they have in a size 12 (hint hint to anyone who wants to send me a gift lol).  Actually, if Barefoot Tess needs a spokesperson, I will be more then happy to be paid in footwear:).  But seriously, if you want boots, BarefootTess.com is the place to be.  Click the pic to see for yourself!

Go Navy

Navy! Navy! Navy! This is a color that you need for fall10.  It looks great on all skin types and is everywhere right now.  I love this sheer top because it's soft, beautiful, has classic lines, can go from day to night annnnnnd it's navy!  Don't love my pick?

In The Trenches

Trenches are HOT for fall10 and Long Tall Sally has you covered.  They have 5 different trenches on hand with 'just right' fits that won't leave people singing tall girl in a little coat.  My fav is the Vanessa Trench (2nd from the left) because it comes in a neutral stone color and can go with anything.  I'm ordering my trench today...you should too:)

Razzle Dazzle

This doesn't really apply to you if you wear a shoe size 12 or over BUT I had to let everyone know about ShoeDazzle.  It's amazing and I am SO jealous that I can't use it (for shoes anyway).  ShoeDazzle is a style service for shoes (up to size 11), handbags and accessories. 

You pay 39.95 per month.  After you take a style profile, ShoeDazzle's stylists (One of them is Kim K! Oh, and did I mention she is a co-owner too!?!) pick styles that they think you will like.  You pick your favorite and they send it to you!  It's that simple.  Shipping is free both ways and if you want more then one style a month it's an additional $39.95 per style.  Don't want a style one month?  Simply click "skip this month" and you won't be charged. 

This is awesome!  You try finding a personal stylist for $39.95 per month. Congrats to all the 11 and under ladies...get your ShoeDazzle on!

Tall Women Wear Heels Too

I went to dinner last night wearing some 4" suede platform pumps.  With the beautiful shoes I was standing at 6'10" and I was OK with it but apparently some loud mouth at the restaurant wasn't.  He walked up to me and said "what are you wearing those heels for?" Granted that was not the first time I have been asked that question but not only was his approach rude, I was also on the phone at the time so he interrupted my conversation. As you can imagine, I was not pleased with this man but I didn't want to stoop to his level of rudeness with what I really wanted to say, so I just told him;"Because I like cute shoes.  These are cute, so I am wearing them. End of story." I then resumed my conversation on the phone and walked away.

The moral of the story is this: No matter how tall you are, ROCK WHATEVER SHOES YOU WANT. Flats, platforms, stilettos, whatever shoe you want to put on your feet, do it!  There is no law that says you can't wear heels so do what makes you feel good.  There is nothing wrong with being 7'1" and wearing 5" heels just like there is nothing wrong with being 4'11" and wearing flats.  Do you!  I know I will be this weekend, when I'm enjoyng my 3 day vacay wearing my size 12, gladiator, gun metal platforms that I got at Nordstrom Rack for $40!  They zip up the front, are SUPER cute and I can't wait to wear them! And no one, I mean no one can tell me different! 

Ladies, we are always going to be tall and fabulous, we might as well be tall and fabulous in some hot shoes!
