How many pairs of shoes are in your closet? 5? 10? 15 or more? Well, even if you are rocking double digits when it comes to your personal footwear collection, you’ve got nothing on Beth Shak: a professional poker player who claims to own over 1,200 pairs of shoes made up mostly of Louboutin and YSL designs. While some may ask “But does she really need that many shoes?,” the answer is yes.
When it comes to shoes, my philosophy is that you can never have enough. Unlike the rest of your body, your foot tends to stay the same size no matter how in or out of shape you are so you’ll never have the problem of buying a pair of shoes and then suddenly not being able to fit into them. This philosophy has made me keep every pair of shoes I’ve ever owned since middle school (minus old sneakers and worn down flip flops) and makes me feel like I have my own personal shoe store when picking the perfect outfit for a night out, a job interview, or a day at the beach.
Check out the 10 pairs every girl really needs!

The Best Toning Shoes
Muscle toning shoes are said to help significantly in toning ones abdominal muscles, lower limbs, buttocks and thighs. These types of shoes do wonders by introducing instability whenever you walk. There are a few of them that actually makes a claim in giving you a walking workout that is similar to walking in the sand. Your body will make use of muscles that you don’t regularly utilize when stabilizing your gait and this is the manner on how the toning is perceived to take place.
Toning shoes are designed for just about every one – from those who are not able to do more than just simple walking (compared to those top performing athletes). It is for this reason why toning shoes are ideal for almost everyone. You can basically wear them anywhere at any time of the day. Toning shoes are perfect for individuals who have no time for exercising or for those who have a strong commitment to regular exercise. Both men and women can wear toning shoes and almost everybody can benefit from the health promotion and bodily improvements that may come from regular wear of toning shoes.
The following are some of the best toning shoes available in the market today:
- Avia Avi-motion trainers ($49.99) – these are shoes that are said to tone the muscles located at the lower body with a creative rocker sole. These toning shoes are the first in the market to combine flexibility to the rocking motion. Buy here: AVIA Women’s A9995 Avi-Motion iShape Toning Shoe

I have always been a sucker for designers that collaborates and my favorite collaboration at the moment will be coming this fall. Jimmy Choo will be arriving at all 200 H&M stores starting November 14th. This news has been spreading like wildfire across the fashion sites and I thought I should share this with you since it is going to be a hot new addition to H&M. The collection will feature shoes, handbags, and accessories for men and women.
“Jimmy Choo will bring to H&M a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection – the perfect party pieces to buy now and then wear out that night!” Tamara Mellon, Founder and President, Jimmy Choo.
“We adore Jimmy Choo’s shoes and bags. They are glamorous and sexy, and they add instant style to the simplest of outfits. I like the way we have worked with clothes to accessorize the shoes and bags rather than the other way around. This collaboration is particularly exciting because it’s our first shoe designer collection. It’s a joy to be able to offer top end designer shoes and bags of excellent quality to our customers.” Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor, H&M.
H&M is one of my favorite stores so I’m so excited about this collaboration. I surely can’t wait for fall to hit now!
