Wedges Fit For A Summer BBQ

June 29, 2017

Happy Thursday and for some of the lucky few happy weekend! With everyone in the city doing the yearly disappearing act for the 4th of July I wanted to share with you one of my favorite pairs of wedges. These Christian Louboutin called the Une Plume Sling are so comfortable I would walk a mile in them with no complaints. I love the cork detailing especially since most cork wedges don’t have a glossy finish over them. This prevents them from getting ruined and personally make them look brand new every time I wear them. I can not tell you how many times people have asked me if they are new or if I did something to my shoes to make them so shiny all the time. However, Christian Louboutin sadly does not carry them in black patent on their website anymore, but I am sure they do in their stores. They come in a lower height as well if you aren’t too thrilled about them being so tall. I think that for wedges you can never go to tall you just have to make sure that the arch isn’t too steep because otherwise you would feel like you were walking on your tippy toes all night. They are perfect for anything from work to any bbq you will be attending this holiday weekend. If you haven’t already check out the Christian Louboutin website for their new collection of shoes that come in every skin tone that you can imagine. For anyone heading out of the city today please travel safely! The roads / travel always get crazy around the holiday weekend so I am just as happy to stay put in the city with my sweet puppy Stella.

Fitness Tuesday- Cleaning in Heels?

April 4, 2017

Happy Tuesday! I can’t believe it is already April and summer is just around the corner. I have personally noticed that the work out classes I normally attend during the week have suddenly become more crowded the past few weeks. I guess everyone is trying to get into shape right before summer hits, but you don’t have to go to the gym to get a workout in. I read a few years ago that Audrina Patridge (you know her from the MTV reality show The Hills) used to clean her house while wearing high heels. This was really confusing to me because why would she willingly wear heels while cleaning your home? The answer is simple it is a great workout without even trying! Now I don’t suggest you mopping your floors while wearing heels in order not to slip and hurt yourself, but you really can do everything else in heels. I did this the other day while cleaning my apartment and my legs were so sore the next day! It also helped break in my heels that I haven’t worn since last summer. If you have a pair of shoes you are wanting to break in this is the time to do it. I have in the past worn socks in my heels to break them in, but now I think I will wear them while I am cleaning. I personally wore my black patent Steve Madden heels, but if you aren’t sure how you will handle cleaning in heels start out with a great pair of wedges. That may be easier for you in the long run during cleaning and like I previously said it will help break in your shoes more. Has anyone else tried this too? Comment below and let me know if it worked for you and if you would recommend it to your friends. Hope everyone has a great day despite this gloomy gross weather outside in New York City. <3

Long Heels Red Bottoms

September 15, 2016

My favorite pair of shoes to wear in general are wedges. Being 5’2 ¼ of an inch (Yes that ¼ of an inch is very important to me) during the summer it is too hot to wear heels in the city, but I am too short to not wear heels when I go out because who wants be the shortest of the bunch? Instead, I prefer to wear wedges for several reasons: #1 they are comfortable / very easy to walk in especially if they have a platform #2 they are great for summer and #3 they make me taller than some of my heels do! One of my best friend’s Mom has said the same thing to us since we were young. She said there are things in life and in fashion that you don’t spend your money on, but one of the things you should always spend money on is shoes. Why? you may ask, Because if you hurt your feet then you will have problems walking and we use our feet every single day, so we should treat them like gold. As I have said in the past on Just Jodi Style I love a good bargain. I found these amazing Christian Louboutin heels on GILT of all places. Usually on those flash sale sites, a lot of the shoes are sometimes slightly worn, final sale or even just styles that are too crazy for everyday wear. When I saw these on GILT I knew I had to have them. Shockingly, they weren’t even final sale so if I had to return them I could. With wedges I tend to go a size smaller in some brands depending on the shoe. With all of the Christian Louboutin shoes I have tried on, it varies from shoe to shoe. Some of their wedges I am a 6 and in some of them I am a 6 ½ and even some I fit into a 7 . It just depends on the style of the shoe and how it is made. If you are unsure of your size for the shoe, make sure it isn’t final sale so you aren’t stuck with something that doesn’t fit. If you can, go to the store and try them on. I was lucky enough that these were a perfect fit for me, but that isn’t always the case. Another fun fact for everyone about these red soled shoes: if your soles lose their red lacquer from all the times you have worn them, you can send them back to Christian Louboutin and they will repaint the soles for you! I mean if that’s not customer services I don’t know what is!
