You Don't Want this Shoe.

Only a few times in your life do you meet that special someone – that *gulp* moment. We're glad that Sam Edelman could provide the introductions. Meet Quinly. She first caught our eye at a shoe launch in February. We were smitten. We can't stop talking about her ... and facebooking her and tweeting her and photographing her and tearing out her ads from magazines and taping them to our beshrined walls. Restraining order, you say? Our enthusiasm is uncontainable.

Just look at her in Vogue's April ad campaign. She's our Summer Stunner (a little pet name we coined ... four syllables stumbling down the tongue). She is definitely the shoe you want, the shoe you must have. But hands off! She's ours. Every lady should have a little bedazzle in her shoe collection. Just, you know, find your own. Quinly's ours.

Falling in Love with Tano ... Handbags.

You know what we're wild about right now? Satchels. Over-the-shoulder bags. Rucksacks. Everyday travel bags with straps and straps. Backpacks are everywhere this spring. They go from home to work, school to group meetings and hold your finds on daytrips around Italy. Take your tote, add straps, multiply by cool hardware and that equation will equal a refined utilitarianism that's all the rage today.

Who better to serve up that look than Tano? These guys love their bags. We mean, love their bags. They won't sell them online, citing the sensual experience [sic] of their product. And according to their site, you must "handle the bag, squeeze the leather, run the zippers, fit your ... " Whoa! Is it hot in here? TMI, Tano content writer.

We do agree a Tano bag must be felt to be believed (but do buy online; you can feel it all day when it arrives). You'll see love in the details. Tano bags are leather, leather, leather in bold colors with detailed strapping and considered accents. A Tano bag is sleek, sophisticated and sporty. Like the utility bags that inspired them, these bags are functional and versatile. Like a good fashion bag, they make a statement and actively contribute to your look.

We do love these bags. We understand Tano's passion; we share it. These guys know bags. They know us women love our bags (a bit obsessively at times but let's not judge). And in the satchel, they share their love for function and style at a price that won't break your heart (or bank). Now, where was that cold shower?

Women's Golf Shoes - Choosing the Pair That's Best For You

There are countless women's golf shoes on the market today. With women's entry into a traditionally male-dominated sport, it's good that the market is finally catching up by offering a variety of shoe options for the dedicated female golfer.

But with so many choices comes a number of decisions as well. One of the first choices you'll face is what style of shoe you want. Some of the more traditional styles, such as saddle shoe, wing-tipped golf shoe, and others, are available in women's sizes and cuts.

Other options include more modern shoes, including canvas and suede flats, golfing sandals, and modern athletic style shoes designed specifically to be worn on the golf course.

Another decision is whether you will be going with spiked bottom shoes or not. Golf spikes are very traditional and have long been part of the game. At first, they were always made of metal, but as plastic and rubber gained more prominence in all things manufactured, golf shoes were changed as well. Now, women's golf shoes use hard rubber spikes, but there are plenty of non-spiked shoes available. The best way to navigate this part of your shoe-buying decision is to call and ask your regular courses what their policies are regarding spikes.

Size also matters. Because of this, it's very important to try on golf shoes in person. Yes, there are many retailers available online, and web based sales will probably give you the widest selection. But do not underestimate the importance of having worn a certain brand of shoe before. Sizes can fluctuate between brands, and not all women's golf shoes are sized the same. Buy your first pair in person, and then go online in the future once you have a brand you know fits you well.

Comfort is one of the most important elements in your shoe purchasing decision. Comfort isn't an issue of vanity; it's an issue of health: physical health, and the health of your golf game, too! Shoes that fit well and do not rub are important to avoid blisters. They should also be supportive so that you do not develop back problems. Uncomfortable shoes detract from your game and can make every swing, and every walk between holes miserable. Make sure you get shoes that feel good.

Then there is price. Shoes designed for a specific sport are often expensive, especially from the high quality athletic brand names. Make sure you're getting a shoe that you feel good about and will wear before you spend the money. A smart buy will be worth it; a hasty buy will not.

And finally, make sure when buying women's golf shoes that you get a style you like. From spikes to shape and color, you deserve shoes that you feel good in and about. They won't make you a pro, but they'll make you feel good every time you walk up to the tee.

Women's Fashion Shoes

Money spent on bright colored shoes is safely invested in bright sandals and fun shoes. Think investment. Fashion shoes, if properly cared for, last a nice long time.

Sandals, evening shoes and fun shoes can all be chosen for their immediate use. Think trendy and unique when looking for a pair of shoes.

Evening shoe tips

Even if your dress is down to the floor, don't think you can get away with just any old shoe when wearing a gorgeous gown. Those old black pumps just won't do. Even if you do not get out much, a great pair of fashion shoes for evening are a necessary investment.

Putting on a great pair of fashion shoes is enough to signal the shift that is necessary when going out for the evening. Attitude is everything and evening fashion shoes can take you there.

*Low cut shoes and open strappy styles are more slimming than closed toed shoes. One of the best evening looks is a sling back style or any shoe with a angled strap.

*Flats or a low heel can give an evening trousers or suit, kicked back chic. Tall women can also wear flats with full, ankle length ballerina style skirts.

*Elegant closed style shoes can be cut in a dressy fabric for an evening impact. Patent leather, silk, satin or beaded fabrics look better than matte leather in an evening fashion shoe.

*Evening shoes don't have to be black, in fact, silver or gold is just as classic. Go ahead and make your outfit really pop with a shiny boldly colored shoe.

Fun Shoes

Fun shoes like ballet flats, or wedges are nice options when getting ready for the day.

*Ballet Flats are great with cropped slim trousers and miniskirts.

*Wedges make chunky calves look slim, they even make the foot itself look smaller.

*Roman sandals and leather thongs with their free spirit look, go well with loose looks like caftans, summer linens and tunic dresses.

Comfort Tip

There most likely isn't a woman alive who hasn't suffered for beautiful shoes. Even if the fashion shoe you are considering purchasing is only for a special occasion, there are ways around pain.

*Getting the right size is most important. Feet actually grow as you age. Just because you were an 8 when you were twenty, does not mean you will still wear that size at forty.
