Betts and Me

I am happy to announce that I will be the next blogger to take part in the Betts 5 Ways To Wear project! I get to choose a shoe and pair it with five different outfits to be posted on the Betts blog - aka. Michelle of Michelle's Style File.

My shoe of choice is Capricorn in Rust.

I was up late last night planning outfits for the project, so stay tuned to see what I come up with!

On another note, our Marion store has re-opened and it is goooooood! It's the first Betts for Her concept store in SA (there are others in Vic, NSW and QLD). Who know we had enough women's shoes to fill a whole store!? The store is completely different to how it used to look, most customers tell us it looks like an American store. We have nice new flooring, bright displays, a catwalk/cash desk in the centre of the store and a lovely, ever-changing TV display. Come in and say hi!

20 Best Shoes from NYFW

I just had to blog this fantastic slideshow of the 20 best shoes from NYFW courtesy of Fashion Etc and the girls at Go Fug Yourself.

As a girl who sells shoes for a living, I get a lot of enjoyment from seeing new and inspiring trends emerge in the world of fashion footwear. Rodarte's debut collection of footwear encapsulates everything I love about the brand, their mixing of textures and patterns, as well as their ability to layer and juxtapose with outstanding results.

I'm loving the use of metallic materials or features to tie in with the 70s (disco and other) trend for A/W 2012, eg. Derek Lam, Prabal Gurung, Ralph Lauren and Thakoon.

Other standouts in the collection were Proenza Schouler's woven, almost tribal red and black structured chunky heels, Costella Tagliapietra's orange and taupe heels and SUNO's printed, lace-up bootie.
