Before I had kids, I would shop at least once a month for either a new wardrobe addition or a pair of shoes (I know, frivolous right?). Shoes are my favorite accessory and not only serve a functional purpose, but a fashionable one. In my experience, shoes are the type of accessory you want to invest... Read More »

I like shoes. A lot. In fact, my husband has prohibited me from purchasing additional pairs until further notice (or I agree to donate a few). I get around this by purchasing shoes for my children as my son's feet are growing and my daughter is learning to walk.
So where do the locals go to buy shoes in the OC? Check out my Orange County Kid's Shoe Guide, on CB... Read More »

One of the things I love about living in Southern California is the abundance of unique, local-centric activities. This weekend, SoCal based retailer Active Ride Shop has partnered with TOMS Shoes to showcase the creativity of several local child artists, including pieces from students at Anneliese Schools in Orange County. The show will also feature collaboratio... Read More »

While I believe there are many useful products and services to help achieve fitness and wellness goals, at the core are healthy eating and physical fitness. Since January is the time when we often focus on the goals we'd like accomplish in the new year, I thought it would be fitting to talk about crocs new line of shoes, called tone.
In the fall, crocs released t... Read More »

Summer is over, although you wouldn't know it based on the heat wave we've been having here in the Southern California (as in 107 degrees yesterday!). It's time to trade in those shorts and sandals for some fall threads!
One of my favorite children's shoe companies just launche... Read More »

Over the years, I've managed to collect a LOT of shoes. My husband is always trying to bribe convince me to get rid of some, but a girl can never have too many shoes. Before children, I chose style over comfort. I actually have several pairs of shoes that I can no longer wear safely, because of this reason.
If you can believe it, I'm currently wearing the... Read More »

In three short years, my son has gone through a lot of shoes. While he does tend to "wear them well," shoes usually get retired because he's outgrown them. Children's feet grow and develop rapidly, and a proper fitting shoe is crucial.
So what do I look for in a childr... Read More »

Now that I've been given the "ok" to exercise, I'm ready to dive right in and shed the pounds that brestfeeding has not taken care of. Finding the time to work out is a challenge, so if any of you have tips on doing this with two, please feel free to comment or send me an email. In the meantime, I'm wearing my Skechers Shape-ups in hopes of toning up some of the f... Read More »

Some women splurge on designer handbags or expensive jewelry. While I do appreciate those things (and would never turn them down...hint hint hubby), I'd purchase a gorgeous pair of shoes over both of those items on any day. My husband is always trying to bribe persuade me to get rid of some of my shoes. And to be honest, I've had some of the shoes in my closet s... Read More »

I was JUST talking to my husband about how many shoes I have. We were watching a video of a celebrity who took viewers on a tour of her home, including her giant-sized ROOM of a shoe closet. I told Jason that he could never say anything about the number of shoes I own again (ha!). Over the years I've managed to collect a lot of shoes. And because I live in Sou... Read More »

Two weeks ago, I walked out of etnies with 4 pairs of shoes and respect and admiration for a company I had never heard of. Being that I collect shoes like some people collect stamps or coins, you would think that I'd have some knowledge of one of the leading action sports footwear and apparel companies in the world. The company was founded (and is still ... Read More »

As a nurse who works 12+ hours on my feet, quality, supportive shoes are a must. And to be honest, I haven't been wearing the appropriate shoes for a woman who stands and walks as much as I do. It wasn't until another provider commented on the lack of support my shoes were ... Read More »

Our temperate southern California weather allows me the flexibility to wear open-toed shoes practically every day. I rarely ever wear closed-toed shoes or even socks for that matter, unless I'm going to work. Now that summer is here, I'm excited about getting comfy with m... Read More »

Now that summer is almost here, we'll be spending a lot of time at the beach and the pool, since water is the only way to stay sane cool in our desert-like conditions. In order to prepare for any water activity, we make sure we have the following: All natural sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30, sun protective clothing, swim suit, towel, hat, sunglasses, swim dia...
