No matter what your politics is, women everywhere agree on one thing about Sarah Palin — the woman wears lovely shoes! Where can you get it? Where is this red sexy peep toe available?

From High Heels

We sold our Governor a pair of red Double Dare Naughty Monkey shoes a couple of weeks ago. She just wore those shoes as John McCain announced Governor Sarah Palin from Alaska as his vice president running mate. Although not everyone agrees with her politics, everyone can agree that she wears “sexy shoes.”

For over ten years, Robeez has produced quality, and not to mention adorably stylish, baby shoes. Parents love their brand because of its soft sole function, which medical studies have proven to help in the development of a child’s healthy feet. Walking barefoot during babies first years promote development of stronger feet as it this helps with gripping and muscle strength. But as we know, their vulnerable feet must also be protected. The shoes allow for some freedom but it also prevents babies from getting injured.

Their shoes and boots can be worn with or without socks. The ankle band with an elastic strap keeps the shoe perfectly fitted. And then when needed, the shoes may also be washed and clean, just like you do regular laundry.

Robeez shoes are great for babies 0 to 4 years old. The company comes out with new designs every season and for Fall, here are their latest for both girls and boys:

When I think of wearing classic, ultra chic ensembles, I always opt for a basic black or a black and white pair-up. Most of the time, you could never go wrong with it. Basic white and black ensembles are investments. At times you’re better off splurging on these, while some days you can spend under $30 for it. You just have to know where to look.

Here are a few pieces that offer two options for you. One is a designer piece that cost more than a regular budget. While the other is something you can get for a lot less.

I’m currently crazy over this type of shoe design, you know —  cage toed sandals and shoes. And what exactly are “cage toe sandals and shoes”? Well, these are footwear inspired by those “gladiator” sandals with the strips and straps. Some designs are obviously updated in line with the latest fashion trends. This selection will perhaps give you an idea of what cage toe shoe fashion is all about.
