TAKE A WALK ON THE FABULOUS SIDE

Tuesday, June 9, 2009 by Jennifer Wilcox
Shoes—the word alone can lift the spirits of just about any female on the planet. They're little works of art. Little rays of sunshine. They're like Prozac in a box. Yes, the pair, as in the pair, can make an otherwise level-headed woman get downright giddy.

So, here we are in 2009 when everything is either taboo or bad for your health. No drinking, no smoking, no red meat, no sweets, no plastic, no big cars, no chemicals and, as of fall of last year, no lavish spending. What's left? We'll tell you what's left—though left and right would be more appropriate. It's shoes! Fabulous, head-turning, oh-my-goodness-where-did-you-get-those shoes. They just might be our last guilty pleasure. Let's face it: you don't really need more than a couple pairs of shoes, but in our world, the more the merrier. We collect them. We covet them. We lust after them until they are ours and then we place them on a shelf and lovingly glance at them until the time comes when we can put one foot in front of the other in them.

This summer, the peeptoe brings a retro, ultra-feminine feel to the modernized, sturdier and more functional pump and heel. In general, mules and slings work for day and wedges and sling-backs for night. And embellishments like bows, ties, laces, straps, buckles, jewels, sequins and beads take center stage as the looks of the season. We're also seeing a lot of snakeskin—of the faux variety. The one thing that all of the styles have in common is that they make a statement. So whatever your style, an irresistible pair of shoes —or two or three or four or ten—is the way to go.

At Catherines, we now have more than 40 styles online and we specialize in wide widths. Not only will you find the fashionable pairs capable of stopping envious onlookers in their tracks, but we also have both updated and classic comfort styles to keep up with your busy on-the-go day-to-day schedule. We're putting our best foot forward to ensure that you can do the same. And here's the best part: our shoes are  totally affordable—so you can stalk, uh, we mean scoop up several pairs today. Happy hunting!
