Rihanna Rocks 2008-08-12 15:20:17 Pop songstress Rihanna
recently opened up in an interview with In Style. But it’s not so much the words we’re delighted about as the shoes. Like her spiked hair and individual style, her shoe choices are part rocker, part avant-garde, part 80’s all rolled up into a flirty, feminine ball.
We’re going to drop some designer [...] Read more:Rocks

Would you wear this? Fitflop Frenzy 2008-08-08 15:11:05 Fitflops. We get it… well, sort of.

Alexander Online 2008-08-07 15:10:22 Well for American’s anyway. Since we can’t get across the pond as often as we’d like to purchase his shoes, McQueen has given us the option of buying his gorgeous shoes on his online store.

The Statement Boot 2008-09-07 11:12:58 If you’re like any other fashionista, you probably buy a new pair of boots each winter. This year, use the help of Vogue TV’s Louise Roe as she shows Piperlime readers three key boots for the season.

Speculation quickly followed that this outrageous display was the work of Puma execs looking [...]
Sole to Soul: Soles4Souls 2008-09-04 10:34:42 We’ve always been big fans of helping those in need, especially if you have overflow. Like shoe overflow. So many of us have dozens of pairs of shoes that we’ve worn once and then shoved into the depths of our closets never to be seen again. Until now.
