Fab Tip: Say Sayonara to Smelly Shoes
Smelly shoes are no use to anybody. Some fabrics, like synthetic vinyl, absorb stenches more than others, especially when you go sock-less. Bottom line: Stinky shoes are a problem that must be taken care of, pronto.
Trend Alert: Spring Satin
Spring satin isn't just for weddings anymore. With the right cut and color, satin shoes can make major impact for both day and night looks. Personally, I go for brighter hues and fun prints, but blacks and tans also look amazing with funky LBDs.
Gear Review: New Balance WX710 Cross-Trainer Shoes
When it comes to working out, I like to be outside. For outdoor runs I wear my Lunar Glides, and when I'm trekking in the mountains I stick to my Nike Wildedge approach shoes. Unfortunately, getting an outdoor workout isn't always in the cards, in which case, I hit the gym near my office.
Harley Pasternak Is Always on the Run
I was lucky enough to talk to celeb trainer Harley Pasternak, who shared a tip that seems perfect for the weekend. Harley says that the singular, most important piece of fitness advice he can offer someone is, "get a great pair of running shoes." On top of that, Harley says that you should always be wearing them, always.
Gear Review: Merrell Waterproof Hikers
If it takes more than a little snow or cold weather to keep you from hitting the trails, then have I got a shoe for you. Merrell sent me a pair of Siren Sport Gore-Tex XCR trail running/hiking shoes ($100), and my feet are in love. Not only are they adorable and sleek enough to wear with casual jeans (not bulky or manly looking), but these weatherproof sneaks also impressed me on the trails.
Is It OK to Stock Up on Running Shoes?
I'm very particular about the type of shoes I choose to run in, so if they're ever (miraculously!) on sale, I'm always tempted to stock up on a few pairs. Similarly, if I see an older version of my shoes on a clearance rack, I want to grab them right away. But every time I think about it, I remember reading somewhere that running shoes start to age as soon as they're produced.

Toms Shoes Brings New Collection to Neiman Marcus
Combining fashion and philanthropy is a popular practice in the adult clothing world, so it is no wonder that the idea has worked its way down to the mini set. When we first introduced you to TOMS Shoes, the small company was just starting its mission of donating one pair of shoes to a child in need whenever a pair is purchased.
Four hundred thousand donated pairs of shoes later, the company has teamed up with luxury retailer Neiman Marcus to debut an exclusive new collection of rubber soled, slip-on canvas shoes.
Battle of the Shoe: Siriano vs. McQueen
Check out this cool shoe post shared by iamtybrown in the Cheap Chic group.
I was browsing the Payless site and I found Christian Siriano's new collection. They are a bit McQueen-ish.
Fab Exclusive! The Runaways Deliver Glam Denim, Jumpsuits, and Lurex
In this second installment of speaking with The Runaways costume designer, Carol Beadle, we get down and dirty about what separated Joan and Cherie's (Kristen and Dakota's) styles and the key pieces of the time. Then, Carol and I got into an interesting conversation about always-evolving hemlines, and Bowie is referenced yet again. The film comes out today; are you going to see it?
