The Best Spring Colors of 2012

The best spring colors of 2012 are trendy shades of classic colors. From home to fashion, these colors will signal the end of winter. Spring is already full of color, as flowers bloom, and the spirit of the season is alive in these color choices.

Honeysuckle Pink

The foremost color for the season is Honeysuckle Pink. It was voted color of the year for 2011 by color authority Pantone. It’s a bright shade of pink with an almost reddish hue. It brings to mind health, vigor and energy.

Orange

Another popular color for the spring of 2012 is orange. But not just any orange, a juicy persimmon shade of orange. Pantone calls this color Coral Rose. If you can’t pull off an entire garment in such a bold color, consider bright and bold accessories instead.

Yellow

Yellow is another tricky shade to pull off. But it works for more fashion choices when it’s this spring’s light buttery yellow. Pantone named a bright Beeswax color to its list for the year.

Blue

Blue is a perennial favorite no matter what the season. But for spring, it’s a pale yet vigorous blue shade that suggests cloudless skies. Pantone calls it Regatta, and it’s a shade that looks good in tops, pants, shoes, bags and even household paint!

Lavender

Lavender is another elegant spring hue that you can wear or decorate with. Pantone doesn’t even need a special name for this classic color. They have simply dubbed it Lavender. This grayish purple is sophisticated yet stalwart.

Green

Pantone also named a green to their trend list. Peapod green is light and fresh, and would work well as a necktie, pair of Christian Louboutin Greissimo 140mm Green Suede Knotted Vamp Pump or tight pencil skirt.

White

Lastly, as far as fashion goes, white is another color to keep an eye out for this spring. It always suggests purity, cleanliness and newfound energy. Pair a white outfit with a wrap in any of these other shades and you’ll be set for spring.

What to wear with Christian Louboutin leopard pumps

Q. A very generous friend gifted me a pair of leopard Louboutin pumps. They are Beautiful. I'm wondering what to wear them with so as not to overdo the look. I'm assuming a pair of skinny black trousers, but what kind of top? I have a nephew's engagement party at a restaurant coming up and thought this would be the perfect opportunity.

A. Now that's a friend! Can you make an introduction? Kidding aside, congrats on being the proud owner of a new pair of leopard Louboutin pumps. It is no secret that I have a serious love for leopard print shoes, so you've come to the right place.

There's a reason I love Christian Louboutin leopard pumps: they're eternally chic and can be worn with almost everything. A few examples: jeans and a blazer, skinny black pants and a tunic, a pencil skirt and blouse, camel trousers and a sweater, a little black dress...see what I mean? Everything. Day or night, work or weekend, dressy or casual, leopard pumps do it all.

Some favorite colors to pair with leopard are red, black, brown, camel, orange, blue, gold, yellow, pink, green, mustard and charcoal grey. Leopard shoes can even be paired with prints, but this is where it can get a little tricky, so if you're not comfortable mixing your prints, then stick with solid colors. Take a look at two of Heidi Klum's recent looks for great ways to wear Christian Louboutin leopard pumps with prints.

For those of you reading this who don't already own a pair of Christian Louboutin Leopard print shoes, it's time to add this key piece to your wardrobe now -- and you don't have to spend Louboutin prices.

Christian Louboutin's 6 shoe styles every woman should have

Recently, Christian Louboutin  aired a show in which one of the segments was "6 Must Have Christian Louboutin Shoes" every woman should have in her closet. Six, I snickered to myself. Any woman who has ever been even slightly bitten by the notorious and much loved shoe bug surely could not survive with only 6 pairs of Christian Louboutin Lady Peep 150mm Strass Platform Pumps! With a modicum of pessimism I proceeded to watch and admittedly, I did have an AHA moment. Six pairs of Christian Louboutin Shoes can comfortably walk you through every possible scenario from bad weather to red carpet runways. Here's what Christian Louboutin  and Adam recommend:

Black Christian Louboutin Shoes - Just like the little black dress, Adam says every woman needs a little black pump. "The 2-inch kitten heel is the easiest thing to wear," he says. I would like to add that the same Christian Louboutin New Peanut Leopard print calf hair taper toe wedge shoes can be worn at the office with a great suit, pants or skirt, paired with some dark jeans or worn with that little black dress he was talking about. Totally versatile in every sense of the word.

Comfortable Flat - A stylish and fun flat is so must have I think two pairs are in order. I know, I know, you only need six. But...a neutral pair and a colorful, fun maybe even animal print would be just the ticket. As noted on Christian Louboutin Purple Suede Rolando Platform Pumps, they need to take you from office to weekend and make sure they have some cushioning. Tired, sore feet are no laughing matter, regardless of how fun the shoe is.

Evening Shoe - Just like Cinderella, you must be ready for the Ball. A classic shape, neutral colored as in gold or silver and dressed with satin and sequins are perfect for that bedazzling effect.

Sleek Comfort Sneaker - No, not the gym sneaker but a dressier, streamlined, colorful shoe that exudes comfort and playfulness. It's a run-a-round shoe that makes you feel like you never left home.

Tall Boot - Regardless of the heel size, flat or stiletto, the tall boot has once again made it's debut and is a must have of the season. Paired with anything, it's perfect for the cooler climes and goes from office, to dinner, to weekend adventure. Either black or brown, they are a timeless staple in your shoe diet. Go ahead, pig out and get both.

All-Weather Christian Louboutin Shoes - These Christian Louboutin Shoes are the ones that protect you from the cold sleet, rain, snow, slush, mud, and anything else not appropriate to mention and they can still be stylish and comfortable. Wellingtons are the most well known rubber Christian Louboutin Shoes but they are no longer the black, tire-like monstrosities we remember. RainChristian Louboutin Shoes now come in a plethora of colors from lime green to neon orange to white with butterflies, the list is endless. As mentioned on Christian Louboutin , "Adam loves the iconic Christian Louboutin Daffodil Crystallized Strass Platform Pumps, which can be layered with Hunter Fleece Socks to keep feet toasty in the winter."

So there you have it. Six pairs of footwear that can lead you down every path your life may take you. No more Schlumpadinka feet for you ladies. Cast off those slippers, don those comfort sneakers, go forth and shop. Six pairs?...I snickered to myself.

Where to buy limited edition Christian Louboutin shoes

Now more than ever, people all throughout the United States of America are interested in buying limited edition Christian Louboutin Daffodile Black Pumps as well as premium or exclusive Christian Louboutin shoes shoes. However, since these rare Christian Louboutin shoes shoes are in high demand, it has become a challenge to find them in stores, especially at a reasonable price. Nevertheless, I have a few tips and tricks that will help you stay on top of your fashion game and look in style in your new Christian Louboutin shoes limited edition shoes.

In the city of Chicago, there are several "low-key" (or inconspicuous) shoes shops that are authorized Christian Louboutin shoes shoe salesmen. Saint Alfred, Uptown, and Shoe Junky are a few of my favorite "low-key" shoe shops that I frequently visit. In these shops, you can find genuine limited edition Daffodile 160mm Nude Leather Pumps and exclusive variations of the shoe. However, each of these shoe shops has their own specialties.

For example, Saint Alfred is great for those special high-top Christian Louboutin shoess. And since they specialize in high-tops they are stocked with numerous other styles and brand such as Jordan, Air Jordan, Bapes, and Gucci. But as we all know shoes don't make up everything in a fashionable outfit. That's when the Saint Alfred clothing section comes into play. Remarkably, there are sweaters, hooded sweaters, and even t-shirts that match the shoes you will buy. So now, you are not only are "rocking" new kicks, but also are matching the color scheme or pattern with a beautiful sweater, hooded sweater, or t-shirt.

Now consider Uptown. Slightly different from Saint Alfred, Uptown specializes in bringing its customers the newest and the best in mid-top Christian Louboutin shoes limited, premium, and/or exclusive shoes. They too offer matching sweaters (both hooded and regular sweaters), t-shirts. However, they sell matching hats to complete your entire outfit! Due to their location in downtown Chicago, they are naturally more expensive but it is definitely worth looking into if you are a serious shopper.

Last but not least there is Shoe Junky. As you may have expected, Shoe Junky is the cheapest of all three stores. Located on Chicago's west side of town, they occupy a run down looking building. Nevertheless, they are quite efficient when it comes to producing the right type of shoes for you and in no way do they sacrifice quality for a lower price. The mostly carry low-top Christian Louboutin Rolando Nude Platform Pumps, both regular and limited edition.

Now I know everyone that wants limited edition Christian Louboutin shoess doesn't live in Chicago. So the Internet is always a good place to start shopping for your limited edition Christian Louboutin shoess. However, to save you some time I will share with you some of my favorite and most productive online shoe shops that I often use.

Christian Louboutin shoes is always a good place to start. There is no question of whether or not it is authentic, but as with all products, when it comes directly from the manufacturer it costs more.

MyDunkSB is an authentic reasonably priced authorized retailer of Christian Louboutin shoes shoes. They carry not only limited edition Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm shoes but also limited edition Air Jordan shoes that are often hard to find.

Finally, Sneaker-head is definitely worth looking into. They are knowledgeable salesmen that carry thousands of rare Christian Louboutin shoes products and are experts in shipping them at a reasonable rate and an even better time.

Ideal time to shop for Christian Louboutin shoes

Christian Louboutin shoes are truly an enigma. No matter how many pairs we possess, there always seems to be a few new purchases on the horizon.

Apparently, Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm Black Leather Pumps do not self -multiply by themselves, yet our shoe racks seemingly overflow. What then, should we consider before adding yet another pair to the collection?

Time of day

Always shoe shop later in the day. Your foot will be slightly swollen by then, allowing for a true fit. If you purchase new Christian Louboutin shoes only to find they are killing your feet by the end of the day, your money has been wasted.

End of season

The best value for your dollar can be found at the end of the season. Buy your winter boots in the spring and your summer sandals in the fall. Merchants like to clear seasonal stock out so they do not have to pack it away. This also allows them room to stock incoming new items.

End of stock

Once a merchant is down to just a few pairs of Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm Black Suede Hidden Platform Pumps, they generally slash prices considerably. Choices of color, style, and size may be limited, but if you luck out and find your choice the savings are considerable.

Friends and relatives

We have all done it. You buy the perfect pair of Christian Louboutin Bianca black suede platform sky high platform heels only to discover a flaw. Sometimes they are just not as comfortable as we had hoped, or we find that they just do not go with much in our wardrobes. Swapping clothes and Christian Louboutin shoes with friends and family is easy on the budget for all.

Garage sales

No matter how wisely we choose our Christian Louboutin shoes, there are always those that just seem to end up relegated to the back of the closet. Garage sales can be excellent sources for almost new Christian Louboutin shoes, especially for children and babies.

Buy wisely

Before you purchase a new pair of Christian Louboutin shoes or boots, mentally run through your existing wardrobe. Unless you have several corresponding items, your new purchase may be relatively useless. Nobody needs just the one pair of rarely worn Christian Louboutin shoes.

Purge

Consider getting rid of one pair before you bring a new pair of Christian Louboutin Bollywoodye Suede double-platform peep toe pump with metallic embroidery and multicolor crystals into the home. Like other things in life, too much footwear is just more clutter in the closet. Donate or give away and footwear that is in reasonable condition. Women's shelters and charity organizations are great places to consider when you donate footwear. Your discards can be extremely useful to someone in need.

No matter when or where you shop for footwear, always consider comfort and usability. Always avoid impulse purchases that will only end up stuffed in the back of the closet.

Tips for dancing in Christian Louboutin Pumps

There is no definitive proof of exactly who invented the modern day high heeled shoe, but I'd be willing to bet the farm it was a man. I mean, what woman in her right mind would invent something so twisted and tortuous? Christian Louboutin Daffodil 160 Nude Leather Platform Pumps  are impractical, uncomfortable and a challenge to walk in, let alone dance in.

Studies have even shown that high-heeled Christian Louboutin pumps can cause both short and long term damage to the body. Yet we women keep on wearing Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm/6inches Black Leather Platform Pumps for one simple reason: they make our legs look long and lean. That's correct-we risk getting a sprained ankle or back pain for the sake of looking sexy!

Yes, there are times we just really want to wear those high-heeled Christian Louboutin pumps, so we can look fabulous at the prom, a wedding or other special event. We even want to attempt to dance in our sky high Christian Louboutin pumps. For that reason, here are some tips to avoid toppling out of your Christian Louboutin pumps.

~ Practice makes perfect. Whatever you do, don't buy a brand new pair of high Christian Louboutin pumps and leave them sitting in your closet until the big night. If you're afraid they'll get dirty, at the very least walk around your house in them so you can get used to them and break them in. You should also practice dancing in them at home, doing some side-to-side moves, as well as turning slowing in them.

~ Buy Insolia inserts for your Christian Louboutin pumps. Developed by a renowned podiatrist, Insolia inserts fit any style high heeled shoe, and are invisible. They shift weight to the heel which reduces the pressure and makes the high Christian Louboutin pumps more comfortable. My friend tried these and swears they really do make a difference. Gel inserts for the toe of the high Christian Louboutin pumps are another good option to add a little comfort.

~ If you have to do any walking to get to the actual event, take your high Christian Louboutin pumps in a tote bag and change into them when you arrive. (But only if there will be a place to stash your tote-you don't want to carry around your other Christian Louboutin Bibi 140mm Beige Leather Platform Pumps all night).

~ Fast dancing in high Christian Louboutin pumps does not come highly recommended. You risk a painful side ankle bend or worse, an embarrassing face plant to the floor, so keep it slow and stick to basic moves.

~ To reduce muscle cramps, do gentle stretches to loosen your calf muscles before and after a night of dancing in high Christian Louboutin pumps. To prevent injuries and improve your dancing, strengthening exercises for your feet, ankle and calves should be a regular part of your fitness routine.

If you're going out for a long evening of dancing in high Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm Black Suede Hidden Platform Pumps, expect your feet to hurt a little that night, and more the next day. Hopefully, you will have a fantastic time to make it all worthwhile!

How to walk in your Christian Louboutin platform shoes

Christian Louboutin platform shoes making your dogs start barking? Here are some easy ways to get used to walking in them, and improve your stride and posture.

The concept of Christian Louboutin Asteroid 140 suede and patent-leather Spike-Toe pumps is to make you appear taller and more confident. If you are a shy, retiring sort of person whose normal everyday gait is not confident, you will have to learn to walk confidently in order to wear Christian Louboutin platform shoes. The new distance of your hip and knee from the ground forces a longer angle in the swing of these joints, and also puts more strain on your ankle. If you buy Christian Louboutin platform shoes, get a set of arch supprtos also. This will help your arch and ankle cope with the added stress.

Christian Louboutin "Agence" Tasseled Platform Pump can be either heels or flats. The taller Christian Louboutin platform shoes often have only a slight rise from toe to heel, and if you're getting your first pair, a lower pair withthis kind of rise are the easiest to begin with.

First, look up. Don't stare at your feet. The ground will not disappear. Look a few feet at least ahead of you, directly in front. As you get better at walking in the Christian Louboutin platform shoes, you can look further and further ahead, eventually not eyeing the ground ahead at all.

Straighten out your back and legs a bit. Stand up straight! If you are slouching, your hips will have a hard time getting far enough forward to keep from pegging a toe into the ground when you step. Keep your shoulders back and your spine upright, to let your hips swing as far forward as they have to.

Now, walk as if you were barefoot. Take a few steps straight forward. You may notice your rear and hips move a lot more than usual, and this might feel awkward at first. Loosen up and let your hips move as much as they have to. You will definitely always have more of a swagger and sway when walking in Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm Black Suede Hidden Platform Pumps, so don't worryy about how it looks. L:et your legs do the work, and let your hips stay loose.

Try not to tense up your toes. It helps if you picture the inside of the shoes as the ground you are walking on. Let your feet stay relaxed, not fisted up, and don't try to fight the rigidity of the soles. Step on the soles of the shoes as if they were the floor, letting your feet firmly ycome into contact with every bit of them.

Once you can walk in a more relaxed manenr, try to speed up your stride. Confidence again is key to walking in Christian Louboutin Lady Peep gold-toned Spikes 150 Peep Toe Pumps. Walking slowly or cautiously picking every step will never give you the ability to actually walk in them normally, so work instead on your poature and looseness. Think of other people you have seen wearing Christian Louboutin platform shoes- those who are tremulous and timid about their stride look as if they've been hobbled. Christian Louboutin platform shoes are meant to make you look fabulous and stylish, not terrified of breaking a hip, so take some time to get used to them around the house before you wear them out.

2012 how to buy Christian Louboutin shoes

Christian Louboutin shoes are a fashion staple and a much needed accessory to any outfit. There are many dos and don'ts to buying the perfect pair.

What you need to do when buying Christian Louboutin shoes:

1. Buy something you can actually walk in. If Christian Louboutin 'Madame Butterfly 150' leopard platform pumps  are so uncomfortable you can't wear them, don't buy them. They won't be so cute sitting in the back of your closet.

2. Try on both Christian Louboutin shoes. Don't assume since it fits your right foot it will fit the left. Make sure both Christian Louboutin shoes are the same size. Lots of people mix up the sizes in a box so be sure to double check.

3. After purchase, go home and walk around inside with the Christian Louboutin shoes on. Do not wear them outside. Walk up and down stairs to see if they are comfortable and you are able to walk. As long as you don't wear them outside, you should not have a problem if you need to return them.

4. If you find a pair that you love for a great price and that are comfortable - buy multiples or different colors.

5. Take the socks or nylon you will be wearing with those Christian Louboutin Daffodil 160mm Zebra Pony Print Pumps to try them on. You won't wear nylons with sneakers so make sure you have socks to ensure proper fit.

What not to do when buying Christian Louboutin shoes:

1. Don't worry if you go up a size or half size, buy what fits.

2. Don't go shoe shopping at the end of the day when your feet are tired and sweaty.

Best cleaning products for Christian Louboutin Shoes

The best cleaning products for Christian Louboutin shoes do not have to be bought in the shoe shop - they are at your disposal in your very own house. I have a pair of white leather moccasins that I have yet to wear in case I get them all messed up, but in looking into how to clean Christian Louboutin shoes, I think they will soon be coming out of the closet. Christian Louboutin shoes come in all kinds of materials and styles and here are a few tips for cleaning those Christian Louboutin Fifi Strass Crystal covered round toe pump.

WHITE CANVAS SNEAKERS: These can come up good as new with the help of a small brush, elbow grease and some carpet shampoo. In my far off school days, when the usual proprietary brand of canvas shoe cleaner had run out, I used to resort to white toothpaste, with no ill effects. My feet smelled nice and minty too.

WHITE SATIN WEDDING OR PROM SHOES: It is so easy to get these water marked, no matter how carefully you tread. Just remove the stains with a little white spirit on a cotton wool ball. If you are going to do this on colored satin, take care to try it on an inconspicuous part of the Christian Louboutin Bibi 140mm Beige Leather Platform Pumps first.

WHITE TRAINERS: These are usually made up of a mixture of materials, but can be safely cleaned with a baby wipe or a good helping of cheap face-cleansing milk and a soft cloth. For the rubber soles and "bumpers" use white toothpaste on a soft, damp cloth.

WHITE LEATHER SHOES: Stubborn black marks on Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm/6inches Black Leather Platform Pumps can be removed by very gentle rubbing with a damp Brillo pad, but if that sounds a little harsh, try nail polish remover to get the marks off, then polish up with neutral shoe polish. Alternatively, use an artist's white oil-based pastel, rub it in, then finish off with the neutral polish.

Instead of always using polish, try this old remedy. Beat up the white of an egg, soak a cotton wool ball in this solution to get the dirt off, then buff up with a soft cloth. If all else fails, try a little subterfuge and get out the correcting fluid to cover the marks. Remember, they will only be sticking out in your mind as huge stains - most people won't even be aware of them. As you can see, the best products for cleaning Christian Louboutin Bana 140 black patent mary jane pump are at your finger-tips, or should that be tiptoes? Give them a try before rushing off to spend money.

Tell you how to break your Christian Louboutin Shoes fast

Breaking in a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes is something that we have all had to do at some point, and as most women will tell you, most of the time this isn't a comfortable or swift process. This can be particularly the case with a pair of tough new boots or dress Christian Louboutin Ron Ron 85mm yellow patent-leather pumps, which are usually bought immediately prior to use, making this worse. Fortunately there are a number of techniques that can be used however to make this phase a little easier and less painful on the feet.

Many women will tend to buy a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes and then worry about how well they actually fit later on, which can mean that they will be painful every time that you wear them. A much better approach is to make sure that a new pair of Christian Louboutin Bibi 140mm Beige Leather Platform Pumps fits well before you even consider buying them, and not just hoping that they will wear in enough and become comfortable later.

To this end making sure that potential new Christian Louboutin shoes don't rub or feel too tight is important before buying. Christian Louboutin shoes that are a little loose can often be overcome by inserting pads into the backs of them, but Christian Louboutin shoes that are to small are simply uncomfortable. Although leather and similar materials can be made to give a little after some time, this isn't going to make the difference between a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes that is far to small and one that fits perfectly. A pair of Christian Louboutin shoes that fits well will simply become even more comfortable over time, and the size isn't usually affected.

The most obvious and common way to break in a new pair of Christian Louboutin shoes is simply to wear them as much as you can, even at times when you might otherwise not wear any. For example wearing them around the house, sitting in front of the TV, or even in the office while you are working. The good part about this is that because they are brand new, they wont track any dirt or mud indoors either.

Although this kind of wearing isn't very punishing on the Christian Louboutin shoes, it does give the leather a chance to stretch out and get used to the shape of your feet. As well as which the softer surfaces means that they will tend not to rub as much. Usually this will tend to take longer than wearing them in by simply wearing them outside, but will also prove to be less uncomfortable as well, so is often worth investing the extra time and effort.

If the Christian Louboutin shoes are particularly soft and malleable, then physically stretching and twisting tem is often a good way to soften the leather out a little. This might sound and look rather odd, but it can really pay off with many pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes, particularly those made from soft kinds ofleather such as moccasins or deer skin boots. Tougher boots, such as those used for hunting or hiking might tend to be too tough for this kind of stretching however, and for those other methods are often needed.

Often wearing a pair of Christian Louboutin Peep-Toe Platform Striking Gilded Lace Pump  indoors only until they have become suitable comfortable is a good option. One of the main reasons why wearing Christian Louboutin shoes outside is uncomfortable is the fact that the surfaces are hard, increasing the pressure on your feet. However indoors the surfaces are largely soft, meaning that Christian Louboutin shoes will tend to be more comfortable. This is also the reason an ill fitting pair of Christian Louboutin shoes will often feel fine in the shoe store. This being the case often wearing Christian Louboutin shoes in indoors will make them a lot more comfortable to wear outdoors when they are ready.

Many women will soak their new Christian Louboutin shoes in water to soften the leather a little before wearing them, although the effectiveness of this method is debatable. To try this simply submerge the Christian Louboutin shoes in some warm water and leave them for around ten minutes. After this time the best thing to do is to put them on straight away, and walk around in them for a little. This means that the leather will contour to the shape of your feet quickly, and wont be as stiff when they dry

This process should only be done when the Christian Louboutin shoes are new however, and will likely ruin an older pair of Christian Louboutin Banane 140mm Grey Watersnake Platform Pumps. Also some kinds of Christian Louboutin shoes aren't suitable for this kind of treatment, for example a limited edition designer pair of heels that cost as much of a mortgage payment. If the Christian Louboutin shoes were very expensive, then it usually isn't worth taking the risk, however if you are dealing with cheaper sneakers of work boots, then this can be an effective way of making them more comfortable.

How to break in new Christian Louboutin Pumps

If you were to buy a pair of leather Christian Louboutin Pumps that are comfortable right away, chances are you would be able to throw them off your feet after they are broken in.

Leather Christian Louboutin Pumps stretch, so when first worn the Christian Louboutin Lady Peep 150mm Nude Patent Leather Platform Peep Toe Pumps need to be a snug fit.  On how to break them in you have several options.

You could wear the Christian Louboutin Pumps for short periods of time around the house.  Whether you are making the bed, vacuuming or doing dishes, the important thing is that you are on your feet and moving.

After a few days you can take the Christian Louboutin Rolando 120mm High Shine Red Patent Leather Pumps on short trips.  A quick neighbor visit, picking up the kids from school or going grocery shopping.

To help things along a bit, you could wear a thin pair of cotton socks in the Christian Louboutin Pumps.  The extra thickness on the foot will help stretch the leather.

If this doesn't work, fill the Christian Louboutin Pumps with water, pour out the excess and put them on your feet.  Not only will the water have a cooling effect on your feet, it will also have a stretching effect on the leather.  By wearing the wet Christian Louboutin Pumps the leather will literally shape itself around your feet.

You can also try to stretch the Christian Louboutin Pumps by pulling the leather of the heel between your thumbs and index fingers.  No need to be careful during this process, work of your frustrations and let the leather have it.

If the front of the shoe hurts, apply the same process.  Pull the material between your thumbs and index fingers, pull it upwards, push it downwards, work it as if you were going for Olympic gold.

If this sounds too exhausting to you, perhaps a potato can be of help.  Select a potato that is slightly bigger than the toe of the shoe.  Peel the potato and stuff him in the shoe toe.  The moisture of the potato will soften and stretch the leather.

Minute rice may be of help too.  Pour rice in the shoe, pore warm water on it and wait for the rice to swell.  Leave for a few hours or even overnight.

If you don't have a potato or rice at hand, try newspaper.  Roll a sheet of newspaper into a ball and stuff it inside the shoe.  This trick is not recommended for Christian Louboutin Daffy 160mm Black Suede Platform Pumps, as the ink of the newspaper may cause stains.

Remember that any type of shoe should be worn with stockings.  Bare feet and new leather Christian Louboutin Pumps are the perfect combination for blisters.

It's also a good idea to keep a Band-Aid handy, just in case.

How many pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes your have ?

For those of us who are still relatively young, but have given birth, the chore of clothes shopping for trendy yet modest attire can be miserable at best. Have you ever been jeans shopping and left the store four hours later crying because nothing fit right or the ones that did actually fit your misproportioned body were way too expensive? Have you ever took on the daunting task of trying on dresses for a special occasion only to find that your bust is too big for the dresses that fit your hips or your hips are too big for the ones that fit up top? These sort of trips have all too often left me depressed over the findings. However, when shoe shopping, you know they will always fit. There is almost always a perfect size for you. My shoe size has not waivered since I was 14 years old. This is something I can definitely not claim about my dress size. Even through two children and putting on quite a few extra pounds, my foot has not grown love handles or a spare tire. As a matter of fact, I have found certain styles of footwear can actually make you feel and look more slender. Why would you not want 5 more pair of Christian Louboutin Bibi 140mm Beige Leather Platform Pumps in every color of something that make you look that great?

In addition to the satisfaction a good Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm Nude Pumps gives a woman, there's another piece to the puzzle that absolutely baffles men, especially my husband. That is the selection of Christian Louboutin Shoes made for women. At the moment, my mind goes to the shoe department in one of my favorite stores. I won't mention the name, so as not to sway buyers, but I can picture roughly four aisles of nothing but women's Christian Louboutin Shoes crammed in heel to toe. Meanwhile, the poor men suffer through the same dull blacks and browns and the two pairs of athletic Christian Louboutin Shoes that are offered on a back wall. While I'm trying on beautiful snake skin heels and cute little silver ballet flats, my husband will mull over the black loafers, the brown loafers, the black casual Christian Louboutin Shoes, the Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm black ponyskin pumps, and finally select a pair of dressier black Christian Louboutin Shoes that he's looked at a dozen times in the past six months. He quickly puts them back and comes over to the ladies' section to find me turning my feet in front of a floor mirror, modeling some red patent peep toe heels that are also offered in brown, black, tortoise shell, pink, black with white polka dots, and tan (all of which I will also have to try on). He usually sighs and says, "Why can't men be offered that kind of selection?" As I decide which color I "need," I reply, "I don't know, but, I'm glad I'm a woman." When I was younger, a friend of mine and I were trying to decide what Christian Louboutin Shoes to wear to a football game and she said, "An outfit can look great without Christian Louboutin Shoes and then you put on the wrong Christian Louboutin Shoes and it will look awful. Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm black pumps definitely make an outfit." That statement has stuck with me since then. This has led me to massive hunts where I have to have the pefect pair of Christian Louboutin Shoes for a certain outfit that I'm wearing to a special function. Once again, these kinds of "special" needs add up, thus adding to those extensive footwear collections.

choosing Christian Louboutin shoes between style and comfort

Christian Louboutin has broken my addiction to shoe buying the easy way. Christian Louboutin made a promise to myself that Christian Louboutin will never again buy a pair of uncomfortable Christian Louboutin shoes. You would be astonished at how much this narrows the playing field. I just went to my closet and counted his wardrobe only to discover that I have only eight pairs of Christian Louboutin Daffodil 160 Nude Leather Platform Pumps !

You may not want to be that restrained, but you can still use my criteria below for shoe shopping and save your feet some grief.

Heels

Christian Louboutin keep these two inches or shorter and make sure the narrowest portion of the heel is at least an inch in diameter so I won't turn my ankles. Christian Louboutin chose brands that have a lot of padding like SoftSpots tailored collection or Christian Louboutin adds his own inserts for the ball of the foot. I always pick Christian Louboutin shoes that provide plenty of toe room so I don't get ingrown nails. Of course, if you are going to be posing for some memorable photos, you can pick glamorous Christian Louboutin Knotted Black Napa Leather Pumps that you would never be caught dead trying to walk in!

Flats

Christian Louboutin find flats to be very comfortable as long as the soles are flexible and the toe box allows my toes to spread out a little bit as I walk. Since humans are designed for walking with the heel striking the ground first and rolling gently to the ball of the foot, a well designed flat gives me the comfort of going barefoot while protecting my feet from broken glass and discarded chewing gum.

Sneakers

Sketchers. Enough said.

Sandals

Christian Louboutin stay away from the brightly colored cardboard and plastic versions at Payless and look for well made sandals that will last more than one season and that offer some support. I like to wear them for vacationing and sightseeing in the summer so they have to be something I can really walk in. Christian Louboutin swear I am only in my thirties, but I love the SAS Twist Again Christian Louboutin grey flannel 'Bianca 140' platform pumps . They aren't sold online (except on eBay) so you have to ask at your high end local shoe stores about this brand.

Mules and slides

Christian Louboutin can't address these since Christian Louboutin has no idea how women keep the darned things on their feet. What is the secret? I can only get them to stay in place by walking with a weird shuffling, scooting gait or by arching my foot to keep them on only to have the soles slap against my heels with a really annoying "smack smack" sound. Christian Louboutin give up.

Moving on to the topic of legs, I know women my age who refuse to wear shorts in 100 degree weather because they think the general public will shrink in horror from the sight of their barely visible spider veins.

If I am feeling self conscious about my fishy white, moderately banged up legs, I use Spray on Legs by Sally Hansen right after I shower and shave and before I apply lotion. I was astounded to find a spray on "tan" that actually works without spotting or streaking. If I make a mistake I can gently scrub it off with soap and water and start over.

In cold weather I wear opaque tights with my knee length skirts to keep out the chill. These also camouflage leg stubble so I can grow my leg hair for warmth in the winter!

Finally, I work my legs hard to build up my calves. That way I don't need the extra boost of high heels to achieve muscle definition and I can show off my legs in flats and Christian Louboutin Bianca Black Suede Platform Pump on sale all summer with confidence.

Christian Louboutin Shoes 009

We place value on things. Its what makes us human. Since the dawn of bartering, paying a premium for something that has a cheaper equivalent has been a topic of intense debate. We all instinctively have our biases towards one side of the argument or another. Some of us will pay a premium for better quality or the perception of it. Some of us will not pay that premium and be happy with something that does the same Christian Louboutin Banana 140 Suede Square Pewter Pumps, or at least is believed to do the same thing.

Its the same debate with designer Christian Louboutin Shoes. Christian Louboutin Mago leather & blue suede pumps, by their very place on our body, can be a plainly functional item. They are the closest contact with the ground, they cushion the repetitive fatigue on our joints and bones, and they keep our little toes warm when its cold out. They are an item that can become dirty and well worn. Yet, why do men and women alike see it fit to pay exorbitant amounts of money to buy premium or designer footwear when another shoe can do the same thing?

The answer isn't so simple. Disregard Christian Louboutin Daffodil 160mm Zebra Pony Print Pumps built for a functional purpose like steel-toe boots or basketball high-tops. While there are premium work boots and premium basketball Christian Louboutin Shoes, these can be worth the money since they have a direct relation to someone's well-being than a shoe made strictly as a fashion or designer item. Imagine telling a construction worker to take a shoe that can't withstand the weight of a dropped brick, or a basketball player to buy a shoe that does not protect him/her from rolling an ankle. Surely these 'needs' are different from wanting to be the first on the block with designer Christian Louboutin Shoes.

Or are they? Maybe not. Ultimately, people will pay a premium for things that will allow them the most success or minimize risk to some aspect of themselves. In this case, its a pair of Jimmy Choos that are valued as keeping up someone's self-image, but it may as well be a BMW or a Gucci bag.

So the question of worth depends on how much Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm/6inches Black Leather Platform Pumps values what the latest, greatest fashionable shoe does for their image, let alone actually function. We all instinctively place value on things like this or choose to economize and spend the money on other things. This is what capitalism allows us to do, and human nature directs us to do. Expensive or designer Christian Louboutin Shoes are indeed worth it to the people that buy them, because we all define value and and worth on the items we buy.

Why Christian Louboutin are better than others for your feet

Glamorous Evidence shows that footwear does have an impact on foot health yet results suggest women are socialised into regarding footwear as an important part of their appearance, which in itself is also an important social norm. (Joyce, 2000, p114)

This would account for all those sore feet out there, endlessly punished by being shoved into Christian Louboutin Daffodil 160 Nude Leather Platform Pumps  that are too small, big, narrow, and wide. Practicality and foot health come second and third, at the very least, when it comes to fashion and this is especially apparent (in the form of blisters, corns, calluses and bunions) with women's choice of footwear. However, if footwear is deemed such a vital part of appearance and ‘deal breaker's in first impressions, then why do so many females wear Ugg Boots? They are perceived by many to be the ugliest pair of Christian Louboutin Pumps a woman can put onto her leg ends. Along with the hideous and as the 'useless as a chocolate teapot' Crocs, they polarise opinion. The mystery unravels when the likes of Kate Moss and Eva Longoria are pictured wearing them out and about - then of course it seems to a significant number of our women folk like such a brilliant idea.

There is another element to this though that branches out from the 'hypodermic syringe' theory. Joyce argues that throughout a woman's life, she will encounter tensions at the Christian Louboutin Banana 140mm pink suede peep toe pumps shop between her desire to wear fashionable or pretty Christian Louboutin Pumps and her craving for comfort (p115). I believe that Uggs and their persistent wear - though regarded as enormously trendy - are the result of this latter 'craving' for slipper-like warmth and softness. What a contrast from the super high-heeled stilettos and pointed toe court Christian Louboutin Pumps!

"Because these Christian Louboutin Point Toe & 5 Inch Metal Heel Black Leather Shoes are warm and soft, young girls think they are giving their feet a break. In fact, they are literally breaking their feet," (Dr. Ian Drysdale, head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine)

The original Australian sheepskin boot, before it even left the country was a favourite amongst rural folk; particularly farmers wives who, however, would only wear them INSIDE. They are slippers and made to be worn without socks and wearing Christian Louboutin Daffy 160mm Yellow Suede Hidden Platform Pumps on a daily basis will lead to a stink increase in the inner boot territory. What is more, they are completely flat and offer no support for the arch of the foot and from the constant pounding against concrete and other industrial/man-made surfaces. I have noticed in my many wanderings through city On Sale
