Dear Shop In Chic:
I know the holidays are coming and I really want to look
glamourous for the parties I will attend, yet I hate high
heels. So what other options do I have?

Clueless About Footwear

Dear Clueless:
One thing that people always equate with all time beauty
and glamour is high heels. Heck people even wear them to
glam up the casualness of jeans! But just because most
women wear high heels doesn't mean all women do. And
you know what? There is nothing wrong with that! Rest
assure that there are plenty of other options to choose
from, including flats! There are plenty of styles that
are just, if not more, purely elegant. And if you're
planning on dancing the night away, flats are choice.
Besides who really dances in heels anyway? You'll be
the envy of the holiday party.

So what are some good brands to look for? I like the
styles of Stuart Weitzman, like his "Buckballet" gold
flats? I also like Steve Madden's "Kobraa" pink skimmers.
I also find Office to have some pretty darn cute and
stylish flats for holiday parties. Like their "Call
Me Back Bow" black leather flats and "Concave Back
Strap" sandal style blue flats.

Just remember that when you're shopping for dressy
flats, look for special details such as sequins or
embossed leather. You want to shoes to look rather
special not so casual.




Both Stuart Weitzman and Steve Madden shoes are available at
Nordstrom

Both Office shoes are available at Office

on your holiday shopping, I got a few ideas that will

Why give a gift card when you could give a Gifts gift
card? A traditional gift card is usually from one store
but a Gifts card can be used at a choice of merchants
and services including restaurants and hotels. Choose
one store or choose several and you can even email it
for faster delivery. And best of all they never expire.

Check out Gifts.com for more information and a list of redeemable stores and services.


And for my readers in the UK, there is the Voucher Express
VEX Gift Certificate. Give them the certificate and you can
relax and let them choose exactly the gift voucher they want.
