Stop frustrating Heel Wedgies!

OK, I haven't worn long pants in months. But I have to say I'm looking forward to donning some of my favorite jeans. I bought the cutest clogs last year and found it so frustrating that the hem of my jeans would get bunched up in the back of my shoe. This also happened whenever I put on shoes with pants. Living in San Diego, I wore two types of shoes - basic flip flops and open toe shoes with heels that did not have a back. I could occasionally wear boots, but shock, did that without socks! Well here is the fashion fixer that was a top finalist in Oprah's search for the Next Big Idea, taa daa, Kix by Katie. I just ordered 3 packs. They come in 3 colors. Kix by Katie work by simply applying the lightweight, supportive strip to the inside back hemline of your pants. Acting like a "collar stay" for men's shirts, Kix by Katie adds a little extra weight and rigidity to the pant leg to keep it hanging nicely. Love these little fixes...one less frustration in the day so you can focus on what you need to.

SHOES with interchangeable tops!!!

WOW! bras with interchangeable straps can really up the fashion statement, but shoes really are the thing that most women can't resist.  So check this out.  Onesole offers you the choice of about 7 different soles and I can't even count how many tops they have.  They range from clog tops to monograms and collegiate emblems.  There are even US Post Office stamp inspired tops.  Of course I love the tops called strappies, of which there are 26 options to choose from.  The idea with onesole is that you change out the top of your shoe in a snap.  Can you imagine what it would be like to travel with ONE pair of shoes and a bunch of tops you just snap on to match each outfit?  Kind of like the idea of one bra and numerous straps. My travel bag is getting smaller!
