hetty rose handmade shoes

prima donna

last year i bought these prima crocs in black and they are my favorite shoes i have ever purchased. nine days out of ten i am wearing these shoes (and if i'm not wearing them, i probably brought them in my car with me just in case i decide to change shoes mid-day). they are by far the most comfortable shoes i have owned. see, i have something like feet claustrophobia, i can't stand the feeling of not being able to easily slip a shoe on and off. these are the shoes i plan to walk all over spain in, i could walk in them all day. and unlike all the other bulky croc styles, the prima style is much more low-key and don't feel like clown shoes. so... for the longest time these suckers only came in black, gold, fuchsia and silver... but i just saw tonight that they have four new colors! celery, cotton candy, lavender, and sea foam (my new personal favorite). i plan to order some as soon as they restock my size in sea foam. and you can't be their low price ($29.99 on the website... and psst locals, i think they have the original black silver, gold and fuchsia at the dillards at the avenues for $25.99). buy these shoes and consider this post a valuable tip of advice.

and thank you to megan at not martha for the tip to look at the croc website.

jacksonville save the date: tiara shoes and accessories

tiara shoes and accessories is, hands down, one of the best places in jacksonville to shop for [women's] shoes. and this thursday, november 16th from 5pm-8pm they will be celebrating their second anniversary with a party! at the party they will be featuring complimentary makeovers by the beauty bar and daniel james salon. and you will also save 20% off on all purchases. my advise is go take advantage of the discount, there WILL be something in there you'll want to buy. tiara shoes is located in the heart of downtown at 203 north laura street, right across the street from jacob's jewelers (another fantastic downtown establishment!). also maria jones, the owner, is really nice and friendly. (you can read an interview that urban jacksonville blog did with maria here.) go see the fab shoes and maria. support local and downtown businesses. -- save the date!
