Tuesdays are Shoesdays: SA FASHIONGIRL :)

July 19, 20111 Comment

I think Sheri Lee of Safashiongirl is awesome (seriously! met her at SAFW and she’s even cooler in real life) so it’s really great that she agreed to take part in Shoes day 😀 Here is what she had to say

These are the questions:

1. You are: Sheri Lee, author of Safashiongirl.com

2. How many pairs of shoes do you own? 112! It’s a bit insane but most are my mothers since she kept all of hers and we’re the same size.

3. Why do you think a great pair of shoes has such an effect on women? My friend once told me sometimes if she’s feeling down about herself or is having a “fat day” she buys shoes because shoes will always fit. I thought that was quite charming, shoes really do make women feel beautiful. I love how heels make you stand tall and confident plus it’s always fun to create an outfit based on your shoes!

4. Which shoe are you still searching for? A simple, classic black pair of Louboutin heels. I tried this wild nude and glitter strappy pair on once and the fit is so perfect! I think it’s because they come in half-sizes.

5. Which shoe can’t you believe you actually wore: I wore those terrible huge sneakers with wheels built in when I was younger.

1. You are: Alla Boguslavsky – Market Research project manager by day, fashion blogger by nightJ

2. How many pairs of shoes do you own? I own 21 pairs of shoes…but only wear about 15 of them regularly. I love comfortable shoes, the rest are for special occasions!

3. Why do you think a great pair of shoes has such an effect on women? Well…what else can make your legs look *that* good?

4. Which shoe are you still searching for? Definitely a pair of high heel pumps! I am searching for something a little different, maybe with some bling or sparkle to brighten up the dark colours in my Winter wardrobe. Nothing has quite caught my eye yet.

5. Which shoe can’t you believe you actually wore: I owned a pair of blue (*cringe*) sneakers in varsity which I thought were extremely cool at the time.

6. Fav shoe/style quote: “If the shoe fits, buy it in every colour!”

Today’s fashion collage might not be everyone’s cup of tea, not many people have the guts to step outside the box and be a little different so today’s post is for those of you who don’t mind standing out, who love colour and the spirit it inspires. You know, the fabulous among us 😉

Tuesdays are Shoesdays: fab blogger Marianna Boguslavsky

Today I’m featuring one half of the Boguslavsky sisters. The duo blog about fashion and shopping in Cape Town and Port Elizabeth and have both agreed to share their shoe secrets 😀

Read on for more on CT based Marianna Boguslavskya and her love of shoes (she’s the one on the right)

1. You are:

Marianna Boguslavsky. Online marketing consultant and owner of MB Consultancy (http://www.mbconsultancy.co.za). Also run a dual city fashion blog with my sister.

2. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

About 20…wish it was way more than that!

3. Why do you think a great pair of shoes has such an effect on women?

The right pair of shoes can make or break any outfit. A stunning/fancy pair of shoes can also be the perfect way to jazz up an outfit…you might be wearing jeans and a casual top but pair it with heels and voila,…you are ready to party! Sexy shoes (especially sexy boots) can be a confidence booster…you look good and you feel great.

4. Which shoe are you still searching for?

I would have to say flat boots…I own an amazing Dorothy Perkins pair of boots that I bought in London but I have not seen another one that i would love here in SA.

5. Which shoe can’t you believe you actually wore

Erm, my spice girls shoes in high school…the shame!!!

As I’m yet again for the howmanyeth time trying to grow my hair I have started investing in headbands to keep my hair out of my way and my hands away from scissors- It’s soooo hard

This is my latest headband, a mix of two things I’m loving at the moment, headbands and crochet: (looking forward to finding more)
