Classic Easter Shoe

Looking for a classic Easter shoe??  Look no further than Madden Girl.

Madden Girl Gertiee Pump
This is the Gertiee Pump.  Available in perfect Easter colors.  Mint, Coral, Nude, and of course Black.  It is made of Faux patent leather and features a round peep toe and side cutout accents.

Peep toe and cutout accents
I talked with a few people who have these shoes.  They tell me the shoe does run a little big so you might want to buy a size smaller than you usually take.  The 3 and a half inch heel makes it easy to walk in, but it also has a 3/4 inch partially hidden platform that makes you feel tall. 

The Gertiee is going to work out perfect for Easter but you can still wear it all Spring.  It is a classic pump that will be well worth purchasing.  This pair retails for $44.99 and is available at Shoes On A Shoestring.

Walking Shoes For The Pilgrimage

The annual Pilgrimage to Chimayo is upon us.  You need the perfect shoe to get through the more than 11 mile trek.
New Balance Cardio Comfort Training Shoe
I found these on dillards.com and went to try them on in the store.  New Balance has always been a sneaker I have enjoyed in the past.  These are comfortable.  They even have a special feature, they are actually designed to "Wake up your feet" for an extra energized workout.  They even have a no-sew material upper with a stretch quarter which gives the sneaker a slipper-like feel.  They come in this pink and black color that goes with just about every workout outfit you can come up with. 

They retail for around $85.  And are available at the Dillard's inside the Cottonwood Mall.

I will see you in Chimayo and Happy Easter!!

What is your Favorite Shoe......

I can talk about shoes all day long.  And I know many of you out there can too.  I want to hear from you today.  What are some of your favorite designers??  I have so many.  I love love love Jessica Simpson.  Steve Madden are some of the sexiest shoes ever.  I think what makes a great shoe for me is of course style, but comfort is important also.  I am a morning radio shoe host in Albuquerque.  I have to be at work by 430 AM.  I am usually done with work around 11, but that doesn't mean the day is over.  I have appearances and training at LA Boxing.  I need shoes that are going to keep my feet happy for many hours.  I would love to see what shoes my readers are wearing.  Send me your pics or inbox me.  I love to see styles that are new to me!!

Jessica Simpson Can Do No Wrong!!

Jessica Simpson can do no wrong!!  I said it and I stand behind it.  I love her, I love her clothes, and I especially love her shoes!!!

Jessica Simpson Dany T-Strap Sandal
This is my shoe for Easter.  The Dany T-Strap Sandal is soft and yet gives you the height that you need if you are vertical challenge such as myself.  This light beige cork upper with a crochet overlay is perfect.  The ankle strap with buckle is adjustable so it will fit you just right.  It has a padded footbed.  But the key is the rubber outsole, making it a tall shoe that is not scary to walk in.  The heel is 5 and a half inches.

I will admit, for Jessica Simpson shoes, I usually go straight to a size 10 for my normally size 9 to 9 1/2 foot.  I just find the 10's to be the best fit.  I have never had any trouble whatsever with this brand.  Granted they are high, but I can wear them all day and never feel like my feet are killing me.

I found these at Dillard's in the Cottonwood Mall.  They only come in the beige color, but it is honestly the perfect hue.  It will go with just about anything.  With shoes, I love a multi-tasker, meaning you can wear it with different outfits and styles.  With Jessica Simpson's I have found you can do just that.  This is perfect for Easter Sunday with your beautiful Church dress, but you can also pair it with a cute short or flowy skirt.

They retail for around $98, but you can always catch a sale at Dillard's or use your Dillard's charge card to save some money.  When you do take these beautiful shoes home, know you have a style that will last for many seasons.

For more information go to dillards.com or go to see Chelle and her fabulous staff in the shoe department of Dillard's in the Cottonwood Mall.  And tell them Kiki sent you!!!!

Skechers with a Purpose

My fellow shoe lovers, what do we think of these??

Skechers Bobs Ballerinas

These are Skechers Bobs Ballerinas.  I will be honest, at first I wasn't loving these.  But then, I tried them on.  They are actually very cool shoes.  They are lightweight and come in so many different patterns now.  I think it would be a perfect shoe for the summer with some shorts.  I would even take them with me on a camping trip.  The best part of buying a pair of Bobs is that Skechers will donate a pair of shoes to a child in need to match your purchase. 

Bow Down Espadrilles
There are many styles to choose from including these adorable Espadrilles with a bow.  This can easily be paired up with a cute sun dress or a nice pair of capris.

All of Skechers Bobs come with the unmistakable logo on the heel that give the shoe it's sporty feel.

Happy Spring!!

It is the first day of Spring!!  Time to put your closed toe shoes in the back of the closet and wear your brand new sandals.  Take a look at these lovelies!!

Jaclyn Striped Gore by Rocket Dog


Rocket Dog debuts the Jaclyn.  This slip on wedge sandal with Criss Cross Gore Upper is perfect for the warm spring days ahead.  It has a 2 inch platform with a 4 inch heel.  They are available in striped and black.  I can picture wearing these wedges with a pair of shorts.




These scalloped shorts would work perfect with the Jaclyn in black.  I did try these on and walked around for a while.  They are very comfy and made my leg look long, which is always a plus.  They retail at Shoes On A Shoestring for $44.99 which also makes them affordable, another plus.

Candy Ballet Flats....LOVE




I just started wearing jeans for the first time since grade school this year.  There is nothing I love more than a cute pair of Ballet Flats to finish off the look.  Looking through Dillard's at the Cottonwood Mall yesterday I spotted just the right look for me.

Gianni Bini Candy Ballet Flats
Gianni Bini, I have said it before and I will say it again, you can't go wrong with this Designer.  These are super cute!!  I love how the studs add shimmer to the sides of the shoe.   And the stretchy sides add to the comfort of the shoe.  They come in a variety of colors and patterns.



I went home with the Navy Striped pair.  They retail for $59.99.  I know with the name Gianni Bini they will last me forever and with this classic style you can't go wrong.  I wore them to the supermarket later on and three women stopped me to ask where I bought them. 

Look for them today at the Dillard's in the Cottonwood Mall.  Make sure to tell Chelle and her fabulous team in the shoe department at Cottonwood Mall Kiki sent you!!!

Date Night!!

There is nothing like a great wedge combined with a great print.  CL by Chinese Laundry are perfect when you are tyring to make your feet pop. 

CL by Chinese Laundry Date Night

These are called Date Night and for good reason.  The heel actually works at making your leg look longer and is super stylish.  It will definitely get you noticed when you are out with your man.  The shoe features an open toe and straw on the wedge which makes it perfect for the summer. 


Date Night in Metallic Linen
The whole shoe is higher off the ground, the platform sits 1 and a half inches while the wedge is 3 and a half inches.  They come in a variety of colors like Metallic Linen, Multi-Stripe, and Metallic Giraffe.  I would wear these for a night on the town, or to dress up a black skirt for work during the warmer days.  They retail for $43.00.  I tried them on and they are very easy to wear.  Would it be wrong of me to buy two pairs in different colors??!!

Polka Time!!!

Temps this week are going to reach close to 75 degrees.  Time to start grabbing the Sun Dresses from the back of the closet.  I love to pair a cute dress or shorts with a pair of equally cute sneakers.  For a few years now I have noticed Dr. Scholl's sneakers...this year I decided to try them out.

Dr. Scholl's Jamie
With a name like Dr. Scholl's you would expect comfort and for your foot to feel like heaven.  These sneaks don't disappoint!!  They are made with breathable canvas that has a lining that actually helps keep them dry.  The insole is removable and they come in a variety of colors.  At Shoes On A Shoestring you can purchase them in Tan, Black, And Grey Polka Dot. 

                                    

They retail for $60 and are available in a wide variety of sizes.  I have a Jessica Simpson Sun Dress at home that is going to look great with the Tan. 

You can go to shoesonashoestring.com for more details or visit one of their two stores in town.

SEND me your pics!!!!  After you buy a pair let me see how you decide to wear them this week!!!

Glam Time!!!

I have an event coming up that I need the perfect shoe for.  I decided to take a look in Dillard's at the Cottonwood Mall.  I found a pair that I think we can all agree are classy and stunning.

Gianni Bini Anna
I have many Gianni Bini shoes in my closet, and now I have one more pair.  This peep toe features a beautiful jeweled detail.  The style is named Anna and comes in Sierra Tan.  The heel is 4 & 1/4 inches.  Even though it is high, the comfort level is there.  You will be able to dance all night long.  After I debut them at my event I could totally see myself wearing them with a pair of jeans to work.  The price-point is $80, but as we all know and love, Dillard's is famous for their terrific sales.

Gianni Bini is a brand that you will keep and cherish for years to come.  The classic look never goes out of style.  They are the kind of shoes that make you lose your breath everytime you open the box!!

You can go to dillards.com for more information.

Make A Splash

I believe Spring in my favorite time for new shoes.  You can put the tights and hose away, get a pedi, and show off your toes.  While browsing the aisles of Shoes On a Shoestring this shoe caught my eye.


Madrid by Born

The Madrid is from Born.  Handcrafted footwear that is ultra comfy.  This wedge has an open toe and a cute tie detail in front that is so springy.  It features a heel sling strap and leather lining, and of course a cushioned insole. 




The 2 inch woven platform midsole makes way for the 4 1/4 inch woven wedge heel.....adding to the already easy to walk in shoe.  I can picture wearing these to a pool party as well as Church on Sunday.  The tie feature in front gives the shoe a sassy element while remaining classy.  The price point is a little high, reatailing for $99.  But considering how comfortable they are and how much use you will get out of them, it is worth it.

Time For A Change

I, like many women, love to switch up my hair color at least every 12 weeks.  Well, my time was up, and I decided to go darker.

Darker Look
Hairstylist April Myers from Casa Verde has been in charge of my hair for over two years now.  April is a genius when it comes to hair.  I am loving this rich color, a little darker underneath to give my hair depth.  April also gives me their signature deep conditioner treatment which leaves your hair silky smoothe and super shiny.
