I am so happy to announce that we finally have a few styles of jeans on our website! http://www.shoeparty.com/ These jeans are to die for! They are the jeans that make you look good in all the right places and they are SO comfortable! I guess this is the benefit to being sick, I lay in bed all day and get all the things done that I have been putting off! So have a look and get yourself caught looking GOOD in these jeans!

Shoes for FUN!

2009-03-21T21:04:00.000-07:00

Yellow?

Pink?

Green?

Okay now, be honest. Which color do you like the best and why? Is it because you look good in that color, or maybe because that color is one that you may have more options to go with in your closet. Maybe you are looking at them thinking, I dont like any of them! Maybe its too high or you think that its kinda crazy or too daring, maybe even too happy. Whatever the reason, hopefully it just got you thinking a little bit more and maybe it will help you understand where you get your own sense of style. I firmly believe that our own style represents us in some way or another.

P.S. If your thought was that it is too bold for you then I challenge you to try a bold shoe for a change and see what kind of response you get! You might be surprised! Just remember...when you wear it, wear it with no fear! The last thing you would want is too be walking around with a fun/crazy shoe and a timid walk...so make sure you OWN it and have FUN!

Here comes the Sun!!

2009-03-18T09:10:00.000-07:00

Spring is in the air, I can feel it! I love this time of year because it means its time to bring out the color!! Time to get out the short sleeves, and put away the sweaters. Dont get me wrong, I love the fall colors too, but there is just some special feeling that comes from the spring air and the bright sun. A feeling that makes me so happy on the inside and so I love to show it on the outside through color!
This spring try something new..add a new color to your closet. Color is what this season is ALL about. Sometimes people get scared of color because they think they have to go out and spend a lot of money just to make ONE outfit! Thats not the case! There are so many colors that compliment each other. So if you want to add a little color to your closet, find out what colors you have the most of and what colors you can add to bring it all together in an affordable and complimentary way. There are a few different ways you can do that, here are a few options.

Obviously our favorite...A NEW PAIR OF SHOES! Shoes can add a lot to an outfit and they can make an old ensemble seem new again, with that fresh pair of new shoes! Try a new type of shoe, for sure one with color! I always get the most compliments from people when I am wearing colored shoes or something with a fun pattern! With our prices, adding a new pair of shoes is an easy thing to do, plus it will add a lot of value to your wardrobe.
LAYER! Layering has been in style for awhile and it remains the same. Layering with shirts is flattering and also another great way to spice up your closet and add a little color for not too much out of the pocket!
ACCESSORIZE! Add a splash of color with earrings, bracelets, necklaces and hats. These can finalize an outfit, its like the icing on the cake!

Remeber not to think...matchy, matchy, but more on the lines of complimentary! Here are just a few color combinations that look great together to help you get your mind rolling! Bright Yellow goes great with Navy, Green, Pink and Orange. Now lets go with a basic color combination such as navy and white then add a little splash of red and you can see a basic outfit become great! One of my favorite spring colors is Fushia, because its so springy and bright and once again it can be paired with many other fun colors to complete a look. All in all, just remember to play up the color, it is ALWAYS worth it!

With all that said, I hope you enjoy the picture below of a new shoe we just got in. And look, it has color!!!

Welcome Coca!

2009-02-15T19:08:00.001-08:00

We are so excited to add our 9th franchise, Coca Emery to the Sole Desires Team! Coca has a lot to offer, speaking fluently both English and Spanish! She has a great eye for fashion and a great heart inside! Welcome to the team, we know you will be amazing. Good Luck!

Its been awhile!

2008-04-20T19:01:00.001-07:00

I know we havent had much new news, so I guess I will make up for it!

First of all we want to welcome Amy as one of our newest franchise owners. We wish you lots and lots of success and we are glad to have you as part of the Sole Desires team!

Second, I am so excited for all of the new shoes that we have been getting in. We have great styles to offer this spring/summer and cant wait to get them all up on the website, but Im sure you will find something you'll love! At least we hope becuase we have an entire wharehouse full of shoes!

Third, If you live locally and have been wanting to get some shoes, we will be at the South Towne Expo Center and the McKay Events Center at the wonderful women shows coming up May 2nd and 3rd. So come stop by and give us a visit!

All work and no play will make a boring day! No boring day here! :)

2008-03-03T21:44:00.000-08:00

I wish I had caught more shots of everyone, because looking at these pictures reminds me of how much fun we had that night. I wish Liz and her family could have been there. We had a great time, but I doubt it was as fun as their cruise!

Thanks so much to all of the awesome franchisee's, my family had a great time and I'm so glad that you came, because we just wouldnt have had enough fun without you. I loved the races with the kids, the balancing on the, I dont know what that was called, and I absolutely loved the wiggle cars(they are the franchise favorite, thanks April for starting that)!

Anyways, cant wait for our next big Sole Party!

Group Fun!

2008-03-03T21:23:00.000-08:00

Well, one of the best parts of this business is the friendship that we all have together. Every once in a while we like to get everyone together...including our husbands and kids for a night of fun. We had a great time skatin, jumping, eating and mingling. Here are a few of the fun shots we were able to capture.

Fashion News for the Spring!

2008-02-25T07:14:00.000-08:00

Well, I must admit I am so excited for the shoes that are coming out this season. I just returned from a big convention where I saw first hand what styles of shoes are going to be hot and whats available. First of all you are going to be seeing a ton, and I mean a TON of color. Spring has always been known for color, but this spring we get sharp, bright colors. You will see a lot of fushia, purple, yellow, orange, green and blues. Not only do we have great colors to look forward to, but also great patterns. I particularly love this, because then the shoes goes with lots of different things!

Another big trend is the gradient colors. You might be asking what is gradient? Gradient is where it starts from light pink and develops into a dark pink, or maybe white turns to grey which turns to black. All of this in one shoe! I love this look and you will be seeing a lot of it. Not only is it available in shoes but also in handbags.

All, I can say is if you love color you will love spring this year. Brown and Black are always great, but this year mix it up with some color. I promise if you do this, you will get more compliments on your shoes than ever before! This is going to be a great season with lots of great styles to choose from, so get in on the fun and add a pop of color to your everyday outfit.

If you have any questions on shoes that are coming in or even styles that are on their way out, if you want to know more please feel free to ask away. I will be more than happy to share with you the styles you will want to make sure are in your closet! Spring cleaning is a great time to go through your closet and put away those sweaters and bring out the sun and get rid of the old and enjoy some of the new.

For me personally, I have a hard time not spending money shopping each time a new season arrives, there is just something about feeling new and fresh again! So beware, you might see me the local stores this time of the year. I hope everyone has a great spring and really takes advantage of the spring colors! It will lighten all of those around you! :)

Online Shopping now available!

2008-02-16T07:50:00.000-08:00

We are excited to finally offer online sales. Our customers have been asking and now we have delievered! We are just starting, so check back for much more selection in the upcoming days and weeks. If you check out the clearance section you will see some great deals... shoes for only $5!

Congratulations Angie and Bianca

2008-01-21T17:19:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to take a moment to say congratulations to Angie and Bianca who have both just recently gotten their businesses up and running, and running is exactly what they are doing with it. I am so glad to have them both as part of the Sole Desires team and I know they will do great! Good luck this upcoming year, I wish you well with your business and with each of your fantastic families! Thanks for making my job so great!

Thoughts for the Sole!

2008-01-18T10:52:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to post a great thought on one of my favorite topics....SHOES!

"Nothing has been invented yet that will do a better job than heels at making a good pair of legs look great, or great ones look fabulous."Stuart Weitzman

This raises a question and that is...How many of you won't wear high heels because you dont want to be taller than your husband? I know for me I will still wear heels even though at times I am taller than my husband, and that is all because I truly believe that heels make your legs look good and I am all about trying my best to look good! Although, I must admit that lately I have been wearing so many flats and I used to NEVER wear flats. I think it is because there are so many cute flats out there right now, so I figure I might as well take advantage of it while I can!

Another year is Here!

2008-01-18T10:24:00.000-08:00

Well, I must say I am excited for the new year. For me the new year always brings on new challenges as well as new accomplishments and I always look forward to that. I love to make plans and look forward to seeing those plans a reality. Does anyone have any great ideas on seeing your goals accomplished? I know for me, I like to have a vision and keep that vision close by and never loose sight of it until it is a reality. I wish everyone a wonderful and accomplished upcoming year! Dont loose sight of your vision

Online Sales Coming Soon!

2007-12-10T22:11:00.000-08:00
