Women's Casual Shoes
I'm addicted to sneakers, so I know how tempting it is to wear them all the time. But it's astonishing what wearing a pair of chic casual shoes can do for your mood. In fact, even a trip to the local deli seems a little more fun if your shoes are cute enough.
Whether they're flats or heels doesn't matter, as long as they are comfortable, fashionable, and most importantly, that they make you feel good about yourself.
Learn more about sneaker alternatives with these tips for choosing women's casual shoes.
Disinfecting Shoes
Last week I asked for your thoughts on wearing used shoes. As a result, I received several questions about disinfecting used and vintage footwear, so I thought I'd share with you a link to this Shoe Disinfectant and Deodorizing Spray. I haven't used it myself yet, but it sounds like it should do the job.
If anyone else has used it, or has their own tips for disinfecting and/or deodorizing shoes, feel free to share them by using the comment link below.
Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale Shoe Wars
In this photo, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale are both dressed to the nines, and both are wearing fantastically sexy shoes.
Vanessa's chosen a pair of ultra-strappy, sexy sandals, while Ashley's sporting a pair of Christian Louboutin multi-strap mary janes. But, there can only be one winner in this High School Musical edition of Shoe Wars, and it's up to you to choose it.
Be sure to check out the large image, and cast your vote in the Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale installment of Celebrity Shoe Wars.

Black Heels - with Honeycomb Print Uppers
Sexy Sandals
These crazy-sexy L.A.M.B. shoes serve as proof that seven straps are definitely better than one.
Available in gray, red, or black, this stunner has 4.25" heels and a pinwheel flower embellishment on the outside.
I'll admit I wasn't crazy about the floral add-on at first, and generally don't find those types of decorations sexy at all ... but, it's grown on me. And in all honesty, I'm so impressed with how these shoes look from the front, I'd probably overlook a broken doll head glued to the side.

Leighton Meester's Sexy Pumps
Of all the great styles exhibited in my new Shoes of the Stars photo gallery, I'm most impressed with these multi-strap pumps worn by Leighton Meester.
Granted, I know the heels are too high for a lot of us, and most of us will never look like Leighton Meester, no matter what shoes we put on. But still, I covet them because they're versatile and sexy -- despite the fact that they're not super-skimpy, strappy sandals.
And apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks these shoes are ultra-hot. Leighton Meester is currently holding a pretty hefty lead against Gossip Girl co-star Jessica Szohr in a recent edition of Celebrity Shoe Wars.
