A Rainbow of Shoes
Spring is here! At least for your feet it is… the weather will catch up at some point. When it is really grey and dreary outside, I like to wear a lot of neon colors in order to brighten up the day. I also like to shop to brighten up my day. Why not do both? PedX has a delightful rainbow of shoes for all your color needs or maybe just your color wants, either way, TOTALLY WORTH IT.

row 1(top): fly london yaya, biviel 3357, biviel 3356, indigo, plush bea.

*SHOE CHALLENGE! Try wearing only brightly colored shoes for a whole week, maybe even a month if you are feeling daring! This means no neutrals ladies! Good luck, I want to see pictures!
Who Wants a Wedg(i)e??*
AKA: The Only Thing Better Than Potato Wedges
Let me introduce you to my Shoe Best Friend Forever. If you are like me, you love height but hate to wear heels. This is where our SBFF comes in: wedges!
While my 5’3” is not short by any means (and ain’t nothin’ wrong with short!), sometimes it’s fun to tower in long flowy skirts and things like that. However, the wounded baby deer look that heels give me kinda contradicts the look I’m going for. Wedges give us that stability we all crave. And lucky for us wedges, platforms, and flatforms are all over the place right now. Check out a few of my favorites in stock right now, in case you wanna crank up the volume a bit:
(l-r: GeeWaWa “Daphne” in black and in blue, Indigo “SkyReno”, Jeffrey Campbell “Edna Punch”, OTBT “Rockdale”)(And many more coming in this spring!)

From the Street to your Feet
Don’t you hate seeing a cutie pie on a street style blog (or, ya know, the actual street) whose style you would die for? Well, next time, my advice to you is to stop the babe dead in her tracks and ask her where her shoes/top/haircut is from and give her a compliment. You’ll seriously make her day!
Style blogs are harder. And by harder I mean easier, because you have me on the case! * I was cruising my favorite street style blogs just this morning, and ran across this doll:
on Elle Magazine’s Tumblr, and well… dang. Just look at her! Such a simple outfit, but totally head-turning at the same time! How do some people just do that?
The shoes immediately made me think of some oh-so-fun OTBT wedges we have here, and I thought it would be fun to “recreate” the look using the OTBTs, and other things you can actually buy. Check it out, after the jump!
Bootie-licious
Ah, Portland fall is upon us- or, as I like to call it, “pre-winter.” Because there’s not a huge difference, unfortunately. Slightly less rain, slightly less cold… Anywho, I like to take advantage of these slightlies before it’s time to get completely bundled up. Layers of pullovers, cardigans, blazers, knee socks, cool hats, whatever it takes to get you through in one stylish piece. And of course the ubiquitous ankle bootie.
I hear from customers all the time that they “can’t” wear ankle booties, but in reality there’s a bootie for everyone. You just have to find one the hits the proper spot on your leg, which just happens to be one of the slimmer parts of your ankle or calf, and certainly not the widest. This will be the magically flattering spot that doesn’t cut off your height. To inspire you, here’s a couple of style-savvy gals who get it right:
And here’s just a peek at the ankle-baring styles we have in stock for you:
Try cuffing your trousers or jeans to show them off, or with a skirt and some cozy tights or socks. These babies are just as versatile as a full length boot, so what are you waiting for?
