In the Land Down Under, Vein Wear is the country’s leading men’s footwear designer, even if you shop online for shoes. Vein, by the talented designer Christopher McCallum, has had the distinction of being the footwear of choice by the top fashion houses of Australia. Vein opened its winter season with the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival main parades Morrisey, Kenzo and Leopold. Vein’s line of footwear was the natural shoe selection for Always Habit when they won the much desired Australian Design Awards in November 2005. Always Habit designs clothes for young, savvy professional men. They are looking for an impressively designed shoe to match their casual and flattering attire. Vein can give that. Vein shoes were the footwear of choice of top Aussie labels Leopold and Tom, and Dick and Harry when they unveiled their winter collections at the Mercedes Australian Fashion Week. The parades were exceptionally notable with both collections garnering excellent feedback from fashion critics. When Vein introduced its winter 2006 collection at the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival in March, there was no doubt which shoes should be worn by the top three of men’s collections of the season. Main features Kenzo, Leopold, and Morrisey chose to match their first class designs with Australian designer shoes by Vein. The fashion festival is definitely the pinnacle of our rise in Australian designer fashion. “Morrisey is a fashion icon. To be worn on the foot of his, Kenzo and Leopold’s collection is a great honor. “I know our shoes do their clothing justice,” says McCallum. At the forthcoming Mercedes Australian Fashion Week, Vein will be closely working with men’s hot fashion label Red Cordial. Retailers, stylists and other fashion industry people can also see a preliminary showing of Vein’s summer collection at MAFW’s Source Exhibition at the end of April, which can also be seen when you shop online for shoes. “At Vein, we are delighted to work with clothing designers. Footwear does not steal the limelight at fashion parades, but a designer collection show is too important to leave footwear up to models, friends or God forbid resort to pluggers,” says McCallum.

A well known fact: It is an incomparable feeling to wear comfortable shoes. Comfortable shoes allow us to enjoy the day’s activities pain-free. Wearing shoes that fit properly can also prevent potential health problems from happening. When to Buy Most shoes can last an average of three to twelve months from normal wear and tear. As you begin to wear out a shoe, you will start to notice a difference in its fit and comfort. Worn out shoes can cause back pains, sore knee joints, or aching feet. The time to replace your shoes is when the cushion has been worn down or the motion control has been lost. Which Shoes to Buy in Fashion Stores Online? Everyone’s foot is different. The best shoe for you is the one that gives you the proper fit, support, cushioning, and flexibility. Choose a shoe with well-cushioned stability that compensates for any irregularities in your foot or your stride. Once you have found that perfect shoe for you, you can now hit the fashion stores online to purchase them. Some Common Foot Irregularities 1. High Arched Feet High arched feet do not roll inward very much. There is a highly curved arch along the inside of the foot. Also, the toes appear to be in a clawed position. Highly arched feet are very rigid, and they are unable to absorb ample shock when making contact with the ground. The reason for this is that the foot doesn’t have the ability to roll inward when the foot makes contact with the ground. This lack of pronation can cause heel, knee, shin, and back problems. Inserting special pads in the shoes, which tries to compensate for this condition, treats high arched feet. The pads allow the feet to absorb shock more easily. People with high arched feet should try to stay away from stability or motion control shoes, which reduce foot mobility. 2. Flat Feet The term flat feet refers to people who have a low arch on their feet or no arch at all. Sometimes they are said to have "fallen arches." Most people have space on the inner side of their feet when the sole of the foot comes in contact with the ground. This is called the arch. The height of the arch varies in size from one person to another. Flat feet are generally a hereditary condition. The best shoe for this condition would be a motion control or stability shoe with a firm midsole. 3. Over or Under Pronation Over pronation is the excessive inward rolling motion of the foot. This inward motion is considered unhealthy because it can cause a great deal of strain on the back, ankles, knees, and the lower legs. Over pronation can lead to shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and IT band syndrome. Under pronation happens when the outside of the foot takes most of the shock when coming in contact with the ground. This condition can cause problems with the ligaments in your feet and ankles. Stability shoes feature either a dual density midsole or a roll bar to help combat pronation problems. Some Helpful Shoe Buying Tips: Shop late in the day. Feet tend to swell as the day progresses. Shoes purchased in the morning will feel a bit tight by afternoon. Shop for shoes with your health and comfort as a priority. Your feet size change every year, so always measure your foot first before heading out to buy a pair. This should give you a general idea when considering different styles of shoes. Choose shoes that are shaped like your foot. Check to see how the sole feels on the bottom of your foot. It should have a soft and supportive cushion. People with high arches generally need more support. Stand up and walk around to get a feel for the shoe. Your feet shouldn't be sliding or moving around inside and there should be ample room beyond the big toe that should be no more than 1/2 inch. One last tip: There is no need to "break in" a tight shoe. This is your new blog post. Click here and start typing, or drag in elements from the top bar.
Wondering what to wear to all of those Spring/ Summer 2011 parties? Never fear, when in doubt turn to the leading ladies of the red carpet. There have been a few celebrities that have made some great fashion for 2011 moves on the red carpet lately and we are here to report all the yummy details. With the help of our friends at ASOS we are showing you inexpensive options to getting these coveted looks for your wardrobe. Over the past few years Blake Lively has been everywhere on the red carpet wearing anything from beautiful gowns to cutting edge assembles. Blake is pictured above in a mini LBD with a layered skirt detail, cinched waist, quarter- sleeves and box neckline. Her dress has attitude and class. She also paired her outfit with navy pumps to break up some of the black. All in all a well put together outfit for Lively. We selected a similar dress with some slight variations to consider for the warm weather. This ASOS mini LBD has the same layered skirt detail, yet it’s a more flirtatious with a petticoat effect, sleeveless and sports a single shoulder cross body design. This dress is a guaranteed Summer night show stopper. Next we have Gwyneth Paltrow who is still a huge presence on the red carpet today. Paltrow loves color and can always be seen wearing something like the electric Fuchsia pink Prada ensemble above. This dress has so much detail like the visible cuffed hem, subtle pleating for that bubble skirt effect, then a futuristic bell shaped top with a cuffed neckline (she could have done without the black necklace). Gwyneth is defiantly pretty in pink with this complicatedly simple number. Oh yes, and her pink shoes totally complete her look sweetly. ASOS has a similar affordable option in black with a less detailed hem line, pleated skirt and layered top and collard neckline. This dress is for the innocent girl with a keen sense of fashion. It also comes in coral, navy, ruby or stone grey. Coming of age starlet, Selena Gomez is making her mark on the red carpet in true Hollywood fashion. With her acting career in the transitional phase from youngster to adult and her singing career on the rise, this is a girl who’s image is at a crucial point and she aims to get it right every time. Above, Gomez is wearing Paul Ka mini-dress in a nude color with peep toe high heels to match. The front ruffle design of this dress keeps it young and flirty. Selena is working it too. Luckily ASOS has a version of this novel design for a lot less. You can also find the same styles here at Wikifashionista

Jessica Simpson managed to successfully follow up her entertainment career with an extremely lucrative career in the fashion industry. Apparently, Simpson has acquired billionaire status thanks to her clever fashion and business sense. All by the tender age of 30, the superstar has built a massive fashion empire. Jessica has managed to grow her brand into producing multiple product lines. According to Women’s Wear Daily, the Jessica Simpson Collection bought in $750 million in sales in 2010 and is expected to solidify the singer/actress’ place as a billionaire this year. Jess has made a killing marketing competitively- priced handbags, clothing, footwear, accessories, swimwear, fragrance, and luggage. Some of Simpson’s fashion for 2011 include: Jessica Simpson Dessert by Jessica Simpson, Dessert Treats by Jessica Simpson; the Jessica Simpson Collection; Jessica Simpson’s Intimates; and the fragrances Fancy, Fancy Love, and Fancy Nights. Simpson has helped design everything from handbags and shoes to denim and swimsuits. Opting to cater to the masses is really paying off for the young powerhouse, although she could have easily transitioned into luxury fashion. Nonetheless, Jessica has even designed a line of prom dresses sold at David’s Bridal. In just about 5 short years, Simpson has managed to ink deal after deal and there is no end in sight. Simpson, who is engaged to NFL player Eric Johnson, is expanding her collection with a sportswear line, due next fall. Since entering the fashion industry, Simpson envisioned including a sportswear line that reflects her evolving style, which combines comfort, femininity and flirty fun. One thing is for sure, if she puts her mind to it, we will see it happen. Through her ups and downs in the public eye, Jessica has been laughing all the way to the bank. One can only wonder if she is done with music, where it all started. Will she continue to play dim-witted blondes on television and in films? Where else is she headed besides down the aisle with another guy? One word Jessica, prenuptial! Do you own any of Jessica Simpson’s products? How much did you contribute to her billion dollar fortune? Let us know. www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com The Dolce & Gabbana white mini dress is just what the 2011 Spring/Summer season ordered and it looks like Diane Kruger and Kate Bosworth agree. This dress is a dazzler embellished white trend so sharp and light with that angelic lace that looks like heaven. The two starlets are big fans of all the iconic brands and can be seen on any given day at any event with the latest and greatest 2011 fashion trends. This time, the garment of choice comes from the hand of famous fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana. German model turned actress Diane Kruger paired her Dolce & Gabbana white mini mini inlaid in silver with nude closed toed platform Christian Louboutin at a recent LA red carpet premiere. Kruger rocked the barely there dress flawlessly with confidence and grace. The leggy actress looked like she stepped straight off the runway and onto the red carpet in front of the cameras. She wore her hair pulled back in a low bow to complete her perfect look. Diane Kruger hit the nail on the head with this outfit from head to toe. Absolutely divine. Kate Bosworth recently wore the Dolce & Gabbana white mini at a Nylon Magazine event featuring her on the cover in Los Angeles. She dressed down the beautiful mini with a green army jacket and pointy toe black summit boots. The celebrity fashionista took a risk by mixing feminine lace and masculine military pieces. We’ve seen the young starlet look much better, but perhaps this look is appropriate for Nylon. The dress is so pretty it almost seems a shame to cover it up with a jacket, but what is done is done and Kate Bosworth is the type of women who for sure makes her own fashion rules.
So there you have it, the same dress and two totally different looks. Which one do you think worked or didn’t work? Did Diane Kruger’s perfect portrayal win you over or do you prefer mixing it up like Kate Bosworth. Either way the D&G white mini dress is a must have.
