Granting Your Wish for Sexy Savvy Size 12 Shoes

Dripping, Sprinkling, Pouring…

The rain that is. It snowed this weekend in the City and it was beautiful….until the snow melted and it started raining. There’s nothing that I like more than cold, wet rain soaking my favorite shoes and keeping me chilled to the bone all day long…Yeah Right!! Thank goodness for Barefootess.

Barefootess has a funky fresh assortment of rainboots in womens shoe size 11-15.

I personally have the black snake style in my closet.

They run a little big so I exchanged the 12′s I ordered for a size 11 and still had enough room to wear them with a warm pair of knitted socks. The calf width is adjustable so it fits me and my 19″ calves just perfectly.

So if you don’t like it wet, check these boots out here.

Mmmmmmm Chocolate

This past weekend I met up with one of my best friends from Junior High School (I love facebook). On this particular day it was 17 degress Brrrrr! So we decided to meet at one of my favorite dessert restaurants in lower manhattan, Max Brenner, because I was craving one of their famous mexican spicy hot chocolates that I love so much. Max Brenner’s dining room has pipes running all around the restaurant that are labeled “white”, “milk” and “dark” chocolate; the whole place has a sophisticated Charlie and the Chocolate Factory feel to it. Anyway, being around all of that warm chocolate made me think that my shoe closet was lacking when it comes to the rich brown tones.

Take a look at what I found on Zapppos.com:

These boots are made by LifeStride, are available up to a womens shoe size 12 and come in two calf widths regular ($60) and wide ($90). One feature that I like about this boot is that the flap flips up to give you that edgy over-the-knee look. These are perfect for running around manhattan on those brick cold days.

Zappos is one of my favorite online shoes stores because they have free shipping both ways and 365 day returns (that’s a whole year to return it if you don’t like it – Love that!)

Red Pin-Up Pumps

Being a city girl, it’s no secret that wearing heels is not exactly my favorite thing to do on a daily basis, however, I am a firm believer that nothing looks better in the bedroom than a classic pair of red pumps. This is why I am so happy that I’ve found a brand that carries several pairs of these very sexy pumps in a women’s shoe size 12.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

 

 

Endless.com carries the Samanta line of shoes and they are available up to a women’s size 14 in most styles. Take a look here.

Frugal Find: Christian Siriano for Payless

Hello Twellas,

Raise your hand if you think of cutting edge style when you think of Payless…take your time, I’ll wait. This is exactly what I was thinking when I was casually browsing on Payless.com. I was pleasantly suprised when I happened to stumble across a pair of Christian Siriano platform pumps that I really liked.  These are perfect for work and the detail on top makes them special enough for play too. They are available in two colors and ring in at $34.99 which is a price that puts a smile on my face.

Fab Find: B.F.T. by Barefoot Tess ‘Emma’ Flat

My name is Charanor and I’m addicted to these flats. Hi Charanor! (The other Twellas would reply in unison)

B.F.T. by Barefoot Tess

I have purchased these flats twice over the past two years and am not ashamed to admit that I will be purchasing them again this year. They are the perfect day to night flats. They have a way of making the female foot look sexy and dainty. I’ve even worn these to the club once with skinny jeans and a cute black button-down.

I currently own them in black and they have recently become available in brown and grey. At $69 a pair you could treat yourself to two colors at a time. Barefootess.com is a great website that I’ve always received excellent customer service from and they make most shoes up to a size 15!

I love them and I think you will too. Come on try it…everybody else is doing it:)

Fancy Find: How You Doin’

So I was watching the Wendy Williams After Show on youtube the other day (After she films the hour long show - which I love because it’s fun, cute and gossipy – she films a fifteen minute show that she posts on youtube. This fifteen minute show is basically a debriefing of the outfits and events of that day) and Wendy mentions that a new company named Zeyzani has sent her a pair of boots that she loves and plans to wear in the future. I’m so happy that she now has reached that highly desired celebrity status where companies send you free stuff just so you will be photographed in them (Lucky Duck). Wendy has mentioned many times on her show that she wears a size 11 and sometimes a size 12 in women’s shoes so I decided to look this shoe company up.

The Zeyzani brand of shoes is made up of artisan style embroidered fabrics that are showcased on classic shoes styles like stiletto and cowboy knee high boots. Here are a few of my favorites:                    

So as you guessed the words “artisan”, “embroidered” and “leather” are not cheap words; these boots will run you about $468 per pair. As a New Yorker who walks blocks and blocks everyday I am very happy to see that most patterns are available in the flat boot style and that most styles are available up to a women’s shoe size 12.
