Wiggle your pedicured piggies into these metallic sandals
We were photographing spring clothes last week, and the model pulled out of her shoe bag the cutest pair of pewter wedge sandals. “Do these look like Target shoes?” she asked.
Not hardly, and that’s not a slam against Target shoes. These are big time stylish and fashion forward. Since I had to go to Target that evening (honest, I really needed a can of L’Oreal Elnett hairspray), I looked for the shoes. Only had two pairs left, so that should be a pretty good endorsement. I did see plenty of other smart styles, too.
Online comments are very favorable about this shoe. Even the faux leather looks good. The wedge sandals cost $29.99, and I must say this picture doesn’t do them justice. They look so much better in person. My only hang-up is that I prefer leather.
Check out this other cute sandal by Mossimo. I hope the weather cooperates this week. It’s time to get out of closed-in pumps and into strappy sandals.

Valerie Bertinelli’s new bikini body
Valerie Bertinelli shows off her new body on the cover of People.
Here’s the question: Would you be willing to go on national televison, announce to the world that you’re fat, then proceed to shed 50pounds and two years later model your rock hard body in a string bikini? On a popular magazine cover?
The next time I pull on jeans that are too tight, I might be thinking the public exposure would be worth it!
