Favorite Brand

My favorite brand for shoes and purses is "Nine West" and more recently "Carlos Santana"; the legendary guitarist has some "Supernatural" shoes and "Black Magic Woman" boots ~ love them! I'm a fan of fun, contemporary, and classic styles. I'm a fool for patent leather and most important "Shoes on Sale" is a prerequisite. Last but not least, "comfortable stylish-shoe" is not an oxymoron it is a necessity!

As I thought about my favorite brand of shoe, I realized that I have a strategy for buying shoes. When browsing in stores I always take lots of photos of shoes with my iPhone t.g.f.16gb. This serves multiple purposes: I can recall where I saw a shoe that I love, I can dream about a shoe that I love, I can wait for a sale, I can email the photo to a friend and I don't have to buy them all. While I'm not loyal to a specific store if they carry quality brands and stock my size; I'll frequent the store. I find that shopping on-line for shoes is also fun. Browsing on-line allows me to save shoes "in my size" to my cart, search by brand and gives me instant-gratification, especially when I check back and the shoe in my cart is on-sale...yah-hooo! Occasionally on-line shopping may result in a better price-point, lower tax, and free shipping. My main strategy is to buy shoes that I love and will wear again and again. ~ Ramona

  1. I tooo am a fool for patent leather! And love shoe shopping too. I have been getting lots of my favorites, SW (only for those of us in the know) and Arthuro Chang. I buy alot online, at RuLaLa and Idelli as well as Zappos, easy to FILTER by patent, color, and size!

  2. A girl after my own heart. I agree with the writer that shoe shopping is an art form. This must be carefully thought out for the best decision. Online shoe shopping is the best as is Carlos Santana and his fabulous shoes.
