Each and everyone of us is privilege to own at least 10 pairs of shoes. Some others are not in a position own exotic collection of shoes for vanity purposes let alone protecting their feet from harm. Giving back to those less fortunate has always been one of our main focus, we couldn’t present this anniversary issue without highlighting such an important cause. The issue spotlights Soles4Souls, a non profit organization helping people worldwide.Screen Shot 2013-01-07 at 10.17.28 PM

The latest installment of the magazine also touched on a very touchy subject in fashion. Several designers have issues with being knockedoff/copied by mass market designers. Well….let’s just say it’s best you pick up a copy to see our coverage and also the “facebook corner” at the rare pages of the magazine to read what some of our Facebook members’ comments on this matter. It appears it’s an issue that will never go away anytime soon.

Her entire apartment is a closet fashion stylist dream to explore. Every inch of space in the apartment has clothing racks and stacks of shoe boxes; If you find yourself feeling too lazy to head out and shop, thenΒ Melissa Fayson’s business concept of selling shoes out of a mobile truck is definitely for you.

The Return Of The Gladiators

January 4, 2013 in News, Shoes We Love, Women by Bernd Ruhl

The Tom Ford gladiators might very well speed up a returning trend. Who could forget seeing gladiator sandals everywhere about 2 summers ago (sample featured below from Givenchy 2009 collection. Fashion does repeat itself, so never throw away anything!)

Prepare yourselves, this coming summer could be a repeat. This particular style was first publicly seen on actress Anne Hathaway at the premiere of Les Miserables. She actually had hers made my the designer in 100% vegan material, that is in faux leather since she is an avid supporter of animal cruelty-free products.

Now you get to choose between the black or the gold version. Which one is your favorite?

Age Is Just A Number: Oscar Winner Helen Mirren In Staggering High Heels!

January 4, 2013 in News by Bernd Ruhl

Are you in your 60s and wondering if it’s still appropriate to go strutting about in high heels? British Dame Oscar Winner Helen MirrenΒ  begged to differ when she showed some youngsters a few days ago that age is nothing but a snooze when it comes to wearing skyscraper heels. She stepped out in a daring vivacious nude color platform peep toe stilettos matched with a royal blue knee length coat dress at theΒ Hollywood Walk of Fame event honoring her decades of stellar career in Motion Pictures. Now, isn’t that a sight for sore eyes? To see a 67-year-old woman in sexy heels definitely gives us all something to look forward to at that age.

This goes to show that age is just a number! Carry on, we certainly approve of this Helen! Splendid!

Happy New Year From Times Square!

January 1, 2013 in Events, News by Bernd Ruhl

Our Creative Director Tinu did what most of you might think as the unthinkable, to celebrate New Year’s Eve on the crossroads of the world –on Times Square with almost a million tourists and locals while also partying the night away nearby at 48 Lounge NYC. An estimate of a million people braved the cold winter to witness American Idol host Ryan Seacrest fill in the shoes of the late Dick Clark as host once again. New York City Mayor Bloomberg made a pit stop for an interview. The night would not be complete without an appearance by Gangnam style Psy, the artist with the most watched Youtube video in the world with more than a billion hits! White suited Psy appeared on the square with his color coordinated suited entourage and the 80s hit maker MC Hammer in tow.

Shoeholics Magazine Sponsors Albert Einstein University Holiday Party

December 21, 2012 in Events, News, Uncategorized by Bernd Ruhl

December 20, 2012: Albert Einstein University’s third annual holiday party created by a small group of employees for the purpose of rewarding workers for their year of hard work and dedication was anything but work as usual. If it wasn’t for the concrete blocks of University study halls nearby one could have easily mistaken the heavily attended gathering as a fashion magazine’s holiday party. Shortly after the close of business, many headed home to change into more festive attires to party the night away at the holiday bash, and that they did –hard! It began around 530pm and continued non stop into the wee hours of the night dancing in high heels, and heaven forbid, the men held their own. Many of them showed up in fashionable traditional and non traditional shoes, enough to make some ladies wonder if they were under dressed. You can never under estimate the academia world, their fashion statements at that night easily rivaled any other fashion party.

The university held a raffle in which the winner, Joyce Ng took home the grand prize of Shoeholics Magazine 1-Year free subscription, an autographed copy of The Shoeholic hardcover book and a gift bag from Shoeholics holiday party containing gifts from sponsors; Slingbackers, Lady’s Secret, Tite-Grip, Pedicouture et. al.

Shoeholics Magazine was a proud sponsor of the event.

PS: more photos will be uploaded on our facebook page later on today. Be sure to join us there too and follow us on twitter. Happy Holidays πŸ™‚
