Wedge Loving..Feet Stomping!

We don't just post jewelry because we are ALL around fashion lovers especially shoes. I am surely a shoe whore and I am always on the prowl for hot shoes to add to my already overflowing collection. I truly dig these "The A Rea Tha Bootie" by Sole Boutique found on Karmaloop.com. Perfect suede 2'' wedge platforms with rope laces, metal eyelets, and a velcro strap. Pair with a pair of skinny jeans, blouse, sweater or tee. Totally cute! Click on photo to buy.
