Sofft Bergamo Boots

Sofft Bergamo Boots

Hello Darlings…are you ready for a spooktacular weekend? Honestly, I have had as much Halloween as I can stand…after inhaling a bag of candy corn and zippity-do-da-daying around my house on an entirely too big sugar high,I encountered my first ‘ring and run’ event of the season. Not too fun when it’s 11pm and you are wondering who is lurking in the night. The Boogie Man surfaced in the form of a 10 year old enjoying the teacher workday. I wish the candy corn was a prank too…my jeans are a bit tighter this morning. Oh, and another thing about Halloween…can we actually have a Fall season filled with ghouls and goblins minus the Christmas decorations? Target has their Santa Claus costumes and tree decorations right next to the Halloween candy displays (minus 1 bag of candy corn). Perhaps Ol’ Bulls-Eye thought someone wanted to dress up as the Jolly Fella for tomorrow night’s festivities…perhaps not. Ok, I digressed…oopsie! Darlings, you must stop by and treat yourself to a new pair of Sofft Shoes! We have carried the line for three seasons now and always sell out. These shoes and boots are padded up for all day support and honestly, they are adorable. Check out the Bergamo Boots…too cute with a pair of jeans and your favorite snuggly sweater! And the Samantha Pump in Chocolate Brown…it has a hidden platform, mega padding…it’ts a corporate woman’s dream come true. Ladies, don’t wait long, we sold five pairs out of the box yesterday! This is no trick…so treat yourself now in time for the holidays…yes, they are right around the corner!

Yours in Fashion,

Sandy

PS:These treats don’t make your jeans feel too tight, but in the event that you are in the mood for some candy corn, stop by the store…the second bag I confiscated from Target arrived early this morning.

The 80’s are Back!

Friday, October 16th, 2009

So there I was…reading my favorite guilty pleasure aka ‘US Weekly’ and catching up on the celeb gossip that draws me like a moth to a flame…when suddenly, I came to the page with Patrick Swayze. So young, so sad, so unfortunate. I chose to reflect on ‘That Time of My Life’. Oh, the Joy’s of the 80’s! For me, the 80’s represented a time of bad hair, braces and blemishes! As for style, I had a passionate love for the Forenza sweater. Everyone had at least one and the goal was to create a rainbow collection of colors-one for everyday of the week. Well, I had to wear uniforms during the majority of my trek through the Eighties! Despite that, I still had a Forenza wanna be from Belk which was banned to the inner dwellings of my very empty closet. My authentic Forenza was carefully tucked away in it’s own drawer-nice, neat and entirely overworn! My hair style was typical 80’s…it was my own ‘Big Bang Theory’ if you know what I mean. I alone kept AquaNet in business. My love for shoes did not exist at that time – not sure why my passion for ornamenting my tootsies didn’t surface until the Nineties. Nonetheless, I was a bit thrilled when I went to market last year and saw the 80’s had made a come back! Good news – it’s much more polised and wearable than ever before. Gone are the sloppy backward jeans hanging off men’s bumpers (thanks Kris Kross) and out with the cheap, rubber bracelets circa 1986 per Madonna! In with the leggings, brightly hued tights, and flowy tops which all started in the 80’s. Think 80’s with a tailored approach to fashion. And, I know what you’re thinking…are skinny jeans still in style? Yes, Ladies…hop on board…this boat has not left the dock! We have grown to love our skinnies…that’s all we wear now. James Jeans offers our best fit by far…higher waist so as to prevent from the dreadful ‘overhang’ that for whatever reason is enhanced the older we get (thanks, Sonoma Cutrer). And, our number one style for the season…James Jeans Denim Leggings! We’ve re-ordered 4 times already and are coming up on our 5th time soon! Don’t be afraid of the skinnies…come on in and play…’You’ll Have the Time of Your Life’!

The 80's Are Here, Ladies!
