I'm switching sides

I've always heard about how great Macs are but never really wanted to take the time to learn a new system let alone pay for the higher cost of such a device.  However, after the 3rd virus hit my work computer it was time for a change.  Yesterday the store computer went next door to Lynden IT for a full system overhaul and it will become the cash register ONLY.  No surfing the web on that machine.   My sweet husband took it upon himself to find me a great deal on a Macbook which he brought home beaming like the proud knight in shining armor he is.  So here's hoping...if I get a virus on this new machine we will know it is the user and not the computer.  I'm optimistically moving forward and learning all the bells and whistles this new computer has to offer.  It definitely has some fun features.  Here's some shots of me and the kids trying out Photo Booth.

Born for spring

Born makes awesome shoes.  They are cute all year long BUT…nothing compares to the look of Born’s spring shoes.  They know how to do spring and they do it well.  Colorful, flirty, cute, comfortable all in one package.  Check out what Born’s have showed up on Sole Obsession Footwear’s shelves.  

The Safflower is my personal favorite. I love the wedge and the sassy flower.



 

Wednesdays are Special

It's Wednesday, and Wednesday's are special.
Today we are featuring Aetrex's comfort flip flop.
On sale today for only $90.
Regular price $120.

The Labella is made with distinct comfort built in.  The footbed is removable to accommodate a personal orthotic if needed.  On its own it is one of the most supportive flip flops created.
The footbed is anatomically shaped and contoured to match the human foot and eliminate pressure and friction. Built using a memory foam that conforms and ensures an equal distribution of pressure while you walk.  As if all that isn't enough Aetrex has patented the "Mozaic Customization Technology" and added this to each sandal.  You can immediately customize each footbed to your specific needs and release pressure where you feel it most.
Your feet will never feel the same!

BOOTS!

Boots = Fall.  All around the show I was told that boots are going to be the new shoe this season.  Ankle boots, mid calf, high boots, rain boots, leather boots, western boots, biker boots...you name it.  It is all about the boots.  So if you are not totally comfortable and "up" with that style this is your 4 month warning to get ready.  Save your pennies, test out those skinny jeans (or not), and get ready to sport some boots.

                                               

Another big trend for fall, a build on last year's fashion trend, is gray.  Remember this post, and this one.  I wasn't kidding.  Gray is HUGE!  I personally love the new black.  It looks awesome with jeans, matches absolutely everything, and looks great casual but can be dressed up for a night on the town (watch out Lynden).  I encourage you not to be afraid.  You really can't do gray wrong.  It just always looks great.  Pair it with black, brown, red, purple, green, blue...really, you can't find a color it doesn't look good with.  And since color is the upcoming clothing trend for fall, you will want a pair of gray shoes or boots in your wardrobe.  Perfect for that outfit when black and brown just won't do.

So boots and gray...fashion advice from the girl who can only look in and dream {not many gray boots come in size 12.}

I'm back

Hello Friends!  I'm back from Portland and all jazzed up about Fall.  Doesn't that seem odd being that we have just started spring?  I kinda think the shoe/fashion world breeds schizophrenic behaviors.  I want to enjoy the current season but I am forced to move to the next season when the previous one has just begun.  But alas, that is my plight with owning a shoe store.  And so I present a sneak peak of fall...from Clarks, Born, and Sofft
