This 'n' That...from Here 'n' There

One more word about studs

And that word is "Yaaaaaahhhhhhhh!"

Make them stop!!!

But seriously, anybody recognize this logo?

Yesterday, I posted a wedge clog that caught the eye of one of my readers. She wanted to know who made it. So I took a look and noticed that the shoe had some sort of logo on the heel pad.

 

 

 

Unfortunately, the angle of the image made the logo illegible. But I dug around in my footwear photo archives and found a companion picture. Which you can see below.

 

 

 

And now, also unfortunately, I have to say I have no idea what shoe maker uses this logo. Do you have any ideas?

So Solestruck is having a contest

And I had to get involved. According to their e-blast, the instructions were simple: 

Dolce Vita means "the sweet life." Show us what makes your life sweet...with a GIF. We're gifting 3 pairs of the famous JEMMA/JOLIE boot (in colors exclusive to Solestruck!) to our fave entries.

So I dusted off my digital camera, set out a few pairs of my favorite footwear (purchased through Solestruck, natch), and fired up my mad skillz with Photoshop.

Sad to say, I didn't make the finalists. (You can viddy them on the Solestruck blog if you so desire.) But while they're totting up the votes and awarding three winners, I naturally want to share my own entry with you. Featuring an assorted selection of wooden goodness. 

 

 

I'm sorry, but I just find myself enthralled watching the parade of shoes go by. Even if they are my own!

Pssst...those Mohop men's sandals are now available

When I announced Annie Mohaupt's men's sandals last Guy Day Friday, there was some very positive feedback. On Monday, the divine Ms. M. notified me that those cool styles are now available via her Etsy.com web store. I was really torn. I wanted to save this tidbit for this coming Guy Day Friday. But for those of you who are eager to order a pair, I didn't want to make you wait.

And yes, they're being marketed as men's sandals, but I'm thinking if you ask her, she'll make 'em in women's sizes, too.

Only small photos of them today. That way I can make a bigger splash about 'em on Friday.

[On my feet as I blog:  this past weekend I got my brown suede pants back from the tailor who was able to engineer a solution for a button that had ripped away the material in front. I'm happy to say he did a great job. And although in my heart I wanted to squeal "OMG! OMG! OMG!" again about those very cool Nadine clog booties from Koolaburra, there was steam rising from them after three straight days of wear, and I thought I should give them a rest. So I treated myself to my newly repaired suede pants and paired them up with my Outerspace clog booties from BC Footwear. All was sartorial bliss...until I made clam linguine and managed to spatter butter and olive oil across the front of the pants. That's right. Butter and olive oil...from the skillet...in three distinct spots...on suede. My, that was a colorful few minutes in my kitchen. Fortunately, the cat does not understand English. Though that wouldn't have helped he because I believe there were a few words of Germanic origin involved, too. Anyway, Outerspace clog booties for me most of the day. Just any old thing while I troll the internet for grease removal solutions right now.]

Great video, Lindsey! I love it. We should see more clogs in action!

What's the name of the clogs you're wearing when you open the door?

[Debby]

The logo for the clogs is Sbicca.

Do you have a good leather care person in your neighborhood? I haven't found any "home remedy" effective for getting oil out of suede---my mother-in-law positively ruined a brown suede chair with potato salad sploops, and using three diff treatments on three diff spots---nada! And both the "absorbing" suggestions (cornmeal, baby powder) made the spots worse!

Holy smokes, that olive oil and butter accident sounds horrific.
However, on a brighter note: 1) LOVE your gif. and 2) LOVE the men's Mohop sandals - I hope I get to see some men wearing them! (drat the coming of the long midwestern winter).

Glad you enjoyed it. The animation started off with the Charli-C clogs from Jeffrey Campbell on my feet.

[London Lady]

Great video. You should model all of your collection in action.

[Lindsey Cochran]

Ha! Thanks for planting the seed!

[Lindsey Cochran]

Thank you! I'll let that other reader know.
