Sorry everyone. I’ve neglected this blog because I’ve been so busy with school, and being a theatre student, constantly in shows, rehearsing, memorizing, and then still having homework to accomplish. I apologize; but in retrospect, the show I was in, Hurlyburly, got rave reviews!

I’ve gotten a lot of comments and questions about the Shoe and Handbag episode of Fashion Fanatic, and a lot of people were wondering about the feature they had about a new high-heeled shoe which combines running shoe-esque technology. Well, the designer is Cole Haan and he has teamed up with Nike to create a comfortable, durable, and fashionable heels for women. You can learn more about the technology and shoes at Cole Haan’s website .

Hope this helps and also, major department stores should carry these shoes as well. Enjoy!

Fashion Fanatic

Posted in Fashion, Shoes at 8:03 am by jonaevilleneuve

As like any Friday night, I’m glued to the TV to watch TLC’s What Not to Wear before I head out and do anything else. Yes, all my friends know that I will not go out until I have seen the latest episode of What Not to Wear. Obsessive and crazy–maybe, but was I in for a treat after the show. I was surprised to find out that Stacy London was hosting another show immediately after What Not to Wear entitled, Fashion Fanatic. And let me tell you…what a freakin’ amazing show. It focused on a women’s most inner desires and passions: shoes and handbags! The in-depth reporting about Christian Louboutin, Sergio Rossi, Salvatore Ferragamo, Michel Perry, and Manolo Blahnik was mesmerizing, learning just how the handcrafting of each amazing shoes works and what goes into creating the perfect shoe. Who knew shoes consisted of so much architecture, physics, engineering, and anatomy? When all these factors are evident in a shoe, then you know it’s worth the hefty price tag! $$$

After this episode, I hope they continue to air more shows showcasing fashion designers and their masterpieces. And I know I’ve said it many times before, but Stacy London has the most amazing job ever…I’d do anything to have her job!
