Next up on our Countdown to Christmas are a few of my personal favorites for the woman who loves comfort. You know who she is. The woman who’d sooner wear ballet flats or chic flat boots than sky-high stilettos any day of the week…but she always looks fabulous nonetheless.
Basic Ballet
If you’re going to buy the Comfort Girl a pair of ballet flats, make sure that they’re chic and far beyond basic black. Try the Ona from Mossimo in a holiday-appropriate cheery shade of red. The round toe and ruched detail at the heel make these flats anything but ordinary.
Boss Boots
The G Lelah from xhilaration is flat and fabulous! The ruffled details down the side give it an extra pop of femininity, and the dark purple color make it a gift worth giving…and receiving!
Sandal-Sational
While she may not be able to wear a fabulous sandal right away, there’s no better way to remind her that warmer weather is on the way then with a fabulous spring sandal. If you really want to splurge, check out the Metalplated T-strap sandal from Giuseppe Zanotti. It’s leather. It’s luxzurious. It’s Zanotti.

The biggest shopping day of the year is nearly upon us! Be prepared to work off that Thanksgiving feast and grab some fabulous bargains with these Black Friday survival tips.
Pack Your Patience
If you choose to venture out into the world of brick-and-mortar stores to start your holiday shopping, it’s best to get there early and pack your patience. If you plan on taking advantage of deals that are being offered at big box retailers you certainly won’t be alone. And big crowds often equal limited parking and agitated people. So in order to prevent you from losing your cool, just remember to keep calm, get the item you came for, get out, and then celebrate your shopping bounty at home with a nice cup of hot chocolate.
Try the Little Guy
The mall isn’t always the best place to find gifts this holiday season. Small shoe boutiques are more likely to have a larger Black Friday selection of products, better parking, and a lot fewer people beating down the doors at 5 a.m.
Dress for the Part
We all like to look cute when we’re shopping, but this is modern shopping warfare! Keep the 4-inch leather boots at home and dress for comfort—ballet flats, tennis shoes, and flat boots are the way to go!

Snake prints are everywhere this season, and as we see it, it’s the duty of the myShoes team to give you the inside scoop on all things exotic. So we’ve gathered up the best looks that the animal kingdom has to offer. It’s time to grab your snake-bite kit and be prepared to step out in the most sssstunning shoes on the market:
Flat Out Fabulous
The most comfortable way to rock the snake-skin look is in a pair of comfy flats, and the Vibrant style from TopShop is a great place to start. Not only are they sophisticated and a little bit dangerous, but the bow detail gives them a feminine edge. And for only $36 you’ve got no reason not to buy them.
But seeing as how woman can not live on ballet flats alone, there’s also the Nariko loafer/mocccasin style from Dolce Vita. The leather shoe features an embossed snake-skin print and offers an overall simple, subtle look.
High and Mighty
But if you consider “flat” to be a four-letter word, then perhaps you’d be more comfortable rocking the snake-skin trend in a pump/platform look. The Destiny style from Carlos by Carlos Santana is 4.5 inches of stiletto heaven. But the platform sole will keep your feet comfortable while looking fabulous.
And if you like a little color with your snake-like look, then check out the Sultry shoe from Topshop. The electric blue leather pump offers a sky-high 5-inch heel that will definitely get you noticed.
Boot Up
Chic boot styles are our last stop on the snake-skin train. If money is no object, then I offer you the Paige style from Alice + Olivia. It has a heel height of about 5 inches, a shocking red hue, and will look positively outstanding with a short LBD.
And for all of my budget fashionistas, there’s the Just Fun peep-toe bootie from Luichiny. They’re a steal at only $89.99 and feature just a hint of snake-skin detail at the top, on the heel and around the ankle. Sexy, chic, and fabulous.

I’m sitting here in my office at the end of the day wearing…wait for it…tennis shoes. Why? Because the highly cute 3-inch Tommy Hilfiger boots that I wore into the office this morning were beginning to wear on my nerves, and my lower back.
Luckily, I had my trusty gym bag here with me in preparation for my post-office workout, so half way through the day I made the switch. That inspired me to construct a blog about other shoes we all rely on when it’s time to go from chic to well, comfortable. Here are a few of my favorites:
Flat Out Fabulous
Is there anything better than a comfy pair of ballet flats that you can slip on while you take a quick jaunt out for lunch in the middle of the workday? Step away from basic black and try on a pair of deep purple Kingdom ballet flats from Steve Madden. The velvet creation features a rounded toe and is perfect for fall afternoons.
But if you like a little embellishment, then check out the Thelma flats from Miz Mooz. The star of the show is a tan leather pompom at the toe that’s sure to get attention.
Casual and Athletic
If you want to keep a pair of shoes in your desk drawer that are a little more funky and a little less Phys. Ed class, then check out the Skysail Slip Ons from Nike. This casual lace-up shoe is easy to slip on and off and will keep you looking cool and trendy.
But on those days when nothing short of pure athleticism will do, you must take a serious look at the Adidas Night Jogger Sleek W. Since it’s designed for running it’s extremely lightweight and the cool running stripes along the side will make you feel as though you can run from the conference room to the photo copier and back to your corner office in a single bound.
