Footwear is an important component of our wardrobe. Just like any piece of clothing in an outfit, a pair can get you walking like an A-list celebrity or a pauper in the street. Remember that it’s not only the style clean and well maintained bamboo shoes are really comfortable. They can surely take you the extra mile.

Here are 2 extremely important reminders that will keep you dancing confidently in your blue suede shoes like Elvis:

The suede brush is your shoes’ best friend

If you’re reading this part, I’m pretty sure you know by now that suede is a delicate material. It is not as cleaning friendly as leather, but the suede material has its own distinct appeal. Just think of the texture it adds to your outfit, right?

Brushing your suede shoes before and especially after use can greatly prolong its life. Make it a habit to remove dirt from your shoes before they could turn into stains or invite molds to live on your precious pair. I’m really inclined to believe that this is the secret of Elvis Presley’s blue suede shoes.

Pre-treatments can save you a great deal

It may not seem practical to fix anything before it’s broken – but it does. Just like in taking care of your health, prevention will always be better than cure. Take the time to scan through shoe care products at the grocery store next time you shop for home supplies. Read up on what substances can help preserve the suede material of your shoes.

Your family and friends would probably recommend getting a leather protection or a preservative spray which since these are commonly used for this purpose. Remember that these substances can make or break your pair of suedes. It doesn’t hurt to be sure by researching thoroughly, asking around and consulting shoe care experts.

Remember: Haste makes waste

This is probably the golden rule of shoe care. Hurrying, in any form, can lead you to drop, bump or splatter anything, anywhere. And this includes you. Decrease the risk of ruining your outfit for the day giving an ample time to prepare. Always a lot a lead time to get you help you relax and settle down before any action at work or in school begins. But when the inevitable happens, don’t panic. Getting a stain on your suede is not the end of the world. Just wipe it out and pretend nothing happen. Wage the cleaning battle when you get home where you have the right tools that would help you deal with the delicate problem.

Check out July's Crimson Red Shoes, hmm curious why crimson? You better visit the page to know more.

I always thought that men and women had their own ways. I just didn’t realize early on that they were so different in every possible way.

Sure, we have tons of biological, intellectual and developmental differences among many others but it never occurred to me that men and women are still complete opposites when it comes to shoes.

Fast Facts

75% of women own more than 10 pairs of shoes VS. 88% of men have less than 10 pairs of shoes
When purchasing a pair of shoes, women opt for style while men go for comfort
90% of women would notice the footwear worn by another; 75% of men wouldn’t even bother
8 out of 10 women have about 9 pairs of shoes which they have only worn once, twice or not at all. On the contrary, 8 out of 10 men do not own any pair that they haven’t worn
Men usually pay more for a pair shoes than women do

This infographic below was truly an eye opener for me. With my growing collection of bamboo shoes (a brand i didn't ever imagine I would love), I must say that this holds true for me and most of my gal pals. I’ve yet to confirm the information with my male friends. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they turn in the same results.

Take a look at it to be amazed yourself.

What do you think? Surprised with facts shared by this infographic? Let me know what you think by leaving comments, questions or even stories below.

From time to time, it’s good to remember how different men and women are just to keep things in perspective. These differences usually highlight our different needs and desires which allow us to be more sensitive of our current environment. Though the line which separates men from women is gradually blurring out, I think where we used to be should never be forgotten. Looking back at where we came from doesn’t only show us where we are headed but it also gives us a sense of pride for what has been accomplished as well as a heart that’s thankful in every way for that journey that has been.

Never let differences get in the way of coming together and achieving greater things. Oh! By the way here are some Shoes for Success.

Happy Fourth of July everyone, did you enjoy the brief summer holiday? Well, I was out of the country working, so I didn’t enjoy it as much as most of you probably did. Where did you spend the Holiday? I guess most of you went to the beach, stroll at the park or take a very, very long nap.

Anyway, its Monday again, a new week has begun and all of us will definitely face all the challenges this week has to offer. Honestly, I’m already thinking about the weekend, I want to take a really long nap, perhaps a nice weekend rest sipping some vodka, my foot hurts with this silly wedge boots I am wearing all day, sometimes the whole night, my clients are so hard headed.

Aw! Ranting through this pages (smiling really wide); let’s just go back to our original topic. So I will be out of the country the whole month of July. And since I am miles away waiting for the designated time of every appointment in my calendar. I would sit at a coffee shop, take some sips on my latte and a big bite on my favorite blue berry muffins. As the hands of time ticked slowly, I can’t help but notice the lovely shoes the ladies around me, passing by, on the streets-are wearing, and since it is the month of July where Ruby is the main birthstone, why not feature something on the same color, crimson red.

I notice that most ladies here would either wear something flat, a sandals or a doll shoes but most of them opted for a wedge boots, perhaps because of the weather, its rainy here if you wanted to know, there is even a typhoon if I am not mistaken, its hard to walk wearing heels during the rainy season so most of the ladies are either wearing a flat form heels, slippers or as I mentioned wedge boots.

Some caught my attention, too bad I didn't bring my camera, and if I did, its prohibited to take photos in certain areas, and as of the moment as I am writing this post, I am inside a cafe in a hotel that doesn't allow taking pictures of people, and arguing that I only took the photo of the shoes is not a better option so I just browse the net and look for something close but I ended up taking picture of the shoes I want for myself.

Anyway this post is just so I can express my excitement for this month, as stated on the earlier paragraphs, today's July, the birthstone is Ruby which is red, and I wanted to feature something to commemorate not only this month but also the color of ruby.

I hope you like this post, as for me, I think my clients will arrive in a minute or two. Updating you later. Oh check out my previous post Ruby and July.

One of the most loved at the same time hated actress. Everyone has to say to this uprising star, from being the “expressionless” actress to a top caliber star, badly dressed on the red carpet wearing a wedge boots on under neat a top designer gown to having the most glamorous style. In which the clothes she wear on her movies are being auctioned and jewelries are usually inspired by her roles.

Twilight Saga, Eclipse, New Moon and Breaking Dawn’s Isabella Swan, Snow White and the Huntsman’s Snow White or Kristen Stewart in real life is this year’s highest paid actress according to Forbes.

No one can deny the fact that Stewart is the most sought after actress in this generation after gaining the role to one of the most loved book character in Twilight Saga. Not only this, after the popularity of the first Twilight movie, Kristen become one of the most in demand print and media model not to mention actress as she bagged several movies during the past years.

But this year after the release of Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart, 22 earned 34.5 million dollars enough to beat the earnings of top caliber actresses such as Bad Teacher and What to expect when you are Expecting star Cameron Diaz who earned 34 million dollars.

Stewart even outrank Ms Congeniality Sandra Bullock who earned 25 million dollars from her Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, The Blind Side and the soon to be released science-fiction Gravity.

Even Angelina Jolie’s earnings didn’t match Twilight star’s earnings. Although Jolie didn’t have a movie this year and her earnings all came from endorsements to top brands, she is “Angelina Jolie”.

When it comes to shoes I’m sure every girl has a pair of two, be it a designer one, something bought on a wholesale women’s shoes store, on a sale, a hand down, a customize we have it.

I found out something useful when it comes to shoes, useful for all of us who wants to gain success, work or love. See below for the must haves.

Black women’s shoes, be it high heels, wedge, peep toe, heel less or whatever type it is, black shoes is a fashion staple for all of us girls. It can be paired to any color, can be worn from day to night in an array of clothes not to mention sexy.

Something worth pondering, wedge boots is something you should try, they come in different styles so there wouldn’t be a problem looking for a pair that would match your corporate attire or the dress you are planning to wear for your night out.

White Shoes, same as black, white or beige is a must have when it comes to women’s shoes, it can look corporate especially on dresses and it also helps you stand out from the many who wears black.

Printed Shoes, usually you wouldn’t even dare wear this type, but I assure you this one is something you should try, it spice up the boring black, grey, white corporate attire, it gives an edge, and somehow it sends a powerful aura.

Neon Colored Shoes, hot pink, metallic blue, crimson red, those colors that are being in the trend, loud and sometimes multi color. Same as printed shoes, for me neon colored shoes are also a must have, it can be paired to any dress. It sends a powerful aura of confidence with a sexy and womanly twist that every lady should have especially in a tough competition industry. I found bamboo shoes cool and feminine at the same time.

Stud Designed Shoes, well its not so bad to have a pair or two since there are dress down Friday right, most company’s allow their employees to wear casual clothes during Friday, not to mention payday usually comes at Friday meaning time to relax in a nice restaurant or meet with friends somewhere.

Well that’s it, some of you might think this is useless, that you already know these facts, but there are others who are just beginning to bloom so this would probably help them, I do hope this would help.

Anyway, be it a designer brand or something bought in sale, maybe an online store that offers cheap and yet fashionable items, it actually doesn’t matter where you bought it, what’s important is how can you handle those shoes.

Have a nice day.

This weekend Yahoo posted something that is very interesting to me, and since I am a fashion geek I say to myself this should be shared to all of you. Moreover, I think this is the best time to write it up since the holiday is coming, Fourth of July remember?

Begin your day with a little bit of teasing, start up with a nice and sexy maxi dress and your best jewelry on your jewelry display since most probably you’ll stay somewhere near the beach (don’t tell me you aren’t, it’s the fourth of July, time for a little chilling) wear underneath your gorgeous bikini suit and undress your maxi if you are going to take a plunge or a nice sunbath. This is a sure way to torment him slowly.

Well if you are not going out of the city perhaps you should have a nice pair of mini skirt or short shorts and again check out for the perfect pair of jewelry on your jewelry display. A stroll in the park is not a bad idea right or perhaps try something new, maybe a new sport, how does biking around the city sounds like (it’s possible, most streets are probably car and traffic free)?

Maybe biking is a bit of a strenuous idea, why not try a candlelight dinner, surely it wouldn’t be hard to reserve a spot in one of the most dined in spot in the metro. Wear a nice dress, red or black, maybe blue and pick out your best diamonds on your jewelry display. Why those colors you might ask, well aside from those are my favorites, red stands for fierce, a promise of a fiery night, black is for authority and power, elegant and sleek something that might stand for “tonight it’s going to be my turn” or maybe something like the lyrics of a song from Ludacris

"Baby, tonight's the night I let you know

Baby, tonight's the night we lose control

Baby, tonight you need that, tonight believe that

Tonight I'll be the best you ever had"

Sounds sexy right? On the other hand the color of blue stands for strong and steadfast, sounds like a perfect night.

The day has been too long right? Have you had enough teasing? Would it be too much for a lacy corset for bedtime? Maybe not, if you are up for a really nice teasing a push up bra paired with a lacy bikini is a sexy idea.

To make your night even sexier, spicier, wear your corset or you push-up bra with a nice stiletto. Did you notice that whenever you are on heels you feel more confident, more powerful, and more independent? Confidence is sexy, wearing heels makes you look sexier than ever.

You want some tips? Wearing skirts, a short dress or shorts, make sure that you moisturized your legs, add some shimmering powder for an attractive luster, or if you are up for a tan even better.

I don’t know the real story behind these photos, but looking at it from the first image up to the last one, this is surely one of the most beautiful events in a couples lives. Consequently, since this is a photo I saw on a social network, there is not enough space to narrate each and every image but any person who’ll see this can definitely create a story on the events that happened during that time.

Through these images, you can see the passion, giddiness, excitement and nervousness, perhaps all the emotions there is. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Actually these are not the original sequence of the photo. I just crop and paste from the original image and create my own flow of events.

My original plan is to add short excerpts on my own words based on the sequenced I created, but then as I clicked the preview button (checking if the images goes out the way I want it to be) I realized words are not needed, the couples emotions are enough for you to understand the events. Each photo shows their passion and love for each other that even someone whose not good at weaving stories can tell, this is a perfect fairy tale.

I wonder what is it about June and weddings, anyway that was way back, when I was still a child and whenever the month of June approaches there are so many couples (mostly my relatives, either my aunt, uncle or any of my cousins) getting married, while on some days of the month either we attend one my relatives, sometimes my parents friends, even our neighbors wedding anniversary dinners.

But as I’ve said, that was during my childhood days, slowly as I passed this phrase I notice how great the season is, the trace of winter is gone, the weather is so fine that you can taste summer through the breeze, the fields are gradually getting greener every single day and flowers are starting to be in full bloom. And that was when I realized that weddings are really great during the month of June.

Nevertheless, I won’t pick June when the time comes that I walk down the aisle, (that would be a few more years) maybe May, my birth month or perhaps sometime from the "ber" months. I don’t want to join the June brides, as much as possible I want to be the only bride to get my vows on a certain month if that’s possible, but then again, I notice that churches and other venues are always jam packed for wedding events whatever time and date.

Talking about wedding dates, June I think is the halfway of summer, flowers blooming everywhere, their scents surrounding the whole place, oh by the way, June's birthstone jewelry is pearl, and an old saying somewhere in Asia stated that a bride shouldn’t wear pearls on her wedding day, include it on her wedding dress or any part of her body, for she is bound to cry all throughout her marriage if she do so. But no one said you cant add pearls on your wedding cake.

A few weeks ago, I posted something about the Real Life Barbie’s since during that time Valeria Lukyanova is trending all over the world, so I decided to feature them (Kotakoti and Lukyanova). Nevertheless, what surprises me is that, Valeria Lukyanova is not the most search name, in fact, according to my blogs data, Kota Koti or Dakota Rose is what people are searching for. With this knowledge I got even more curious than the first time I learned about Kotakoti, and the result of my curiosity is here.

Okay then, Dakota Ostrenga as her birth given name or Kotakoti as the Asian’s addressed her or Dakota Rose one of the most sensational online personality is a real life Barbie. As far as the information I gather through reading and browsing all articles available, she came from Japan, but then some articles stated that she is now based in San Francisco, wherever she is, I really don’t mind since she’s been posting her videos on YouTube.

I don’t know why people are so interested in real life dolls, maybe because just like Barbie, they looked so pretty with their porcelain like complexion, big expressive eyes, perfect lips and body, fashion jewelry, designer clothes and shoes, and of course fame.

Anyway going back to the topic, since there is not much information regarding Kotakoti/Dakota Rose lets just all see her photos and you be the judge if what she claims to be “surgery free” and “only make-up” look is true or not.

And that's Dakota Rose, an online sensation, a living doll, a real life barbie. Whatever you call her, my point here is that, its her own life, she wanted something, she did her best to do everything to achieve her goal.

In the future she can say to herself, I did my best. Yes, she might regret the decisions she made today but we are all living at the present time at least she get what she wanted, in the future let her face the consequences of her actions.

Images came from her blog Kotakoti

Curious who Mr. Expendables date is at the recently concluded 2012 MTV Movie Awards? Jean-Claude Van Damme, five times married, twice on this is on the same lady brought his daughter last Sunday as his special date on 2012 MTV Movie Awards.

Bianca Bree or Bianca Van Varenberg, the aspiring 21 year old actress and Jean-Claude Van Damme’s daughter step out of the red carpet wearing a combination of blue, white and black stripe mini dress with a cut-out side getting the attention of the paparazzo’s not to mention she’s beside the main star of the popular movie “Expendables 2”.

On her Twitter account she stated “As much as I don't enjoy all that flashy crap, I had a lot of fun”, and surely she had fun specially when she saw Charlie Sheen’s comment about the “Anger management”

Anyway Bianca and her brother Kristopher has been taking another path, a little bit different from what their parents took- ex-bodybuilder Gladys Portugues Van Damme’s wife from 1987-1992- as they have been appearing in different television series and movies, sometimes co-starring their father.

Do you remember last year’s British reality TV series, "Jean-Claude Van Damme: Behind Closed Doors"? At that time Bianca was interviewed by none other than her father, since it’s obvious it’s her father’s show, they talked about the things she experienced and is experiencing being a part of a famous family, being the daughter of a well known celebrity.

And you know what, somehow, I feel like all stars that came from a famous clan, or whose parents are well known always say the same things. "Growing up under the roof with my dad, I never even saw him as something big. I never came to the conclusion that he was famous. I would go to school sometimes and people would say, 'Oh, I saw your dad on TV.'”

“It can be hard having him as my father because a lot of people are phony. They can hurt you if you don't be careful. I shy away from a lot of people because I don't want them to know my life and personal issues. I just have a couple friends who are close and that are it,” said Bianca when asked what it is liked growing up with her dad.

And I was like “Yeah, same here, I didn’t even imagine my dad to be in one of the top positions in an Engineering Firm” until I turned 16.

Well, that’s it. I hope I didn’t get too sarcastic.

Maxim has released their 2012’s 100 List of the Worlds Most Beautiful Women and among the 100 list, here are my top picks.

Nina Dobrev is on Maxim 84th spot. The Vampire Diaries star that plays the role of Elena Gilbert, one of the lead roles of the said series, a young beautiful girl whom vampire brothers fell in love with, she’s playing a dual role on the said series the other one is Katherine Pierce a ruthless vampire from the 19th century.

Sarah Shani on the 36th spot on Maxim 100 Most Beautiful Women gain popularity through her role as DJ Carmen de la Pica Morales on the series The L Word, she was also one of the main cast in several series in Hollywood such as Dawson’s Creek and Alias.

Ann Hatthaway is on the 23rd spot of the Most Beautiful Women list of Maxim, the princess in the hit movie series The Princess Diaries and The Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement. One of the most talented actresses in our generation receiving different nomination and an Emmy award for her voice over performance in the movie The Simpsons.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley on the 11th spot, one of Victoria’s Secret top model who got a lead role in the Transformer: Dark of the Moon in which she received the “Breakout Stars to Watch for in 2011” title.

There are 100, but this girls for me stands class and elegance. From the catwalk up to the red carpet clad with their designer clothes, fashion jewelry, drool dropping shoes and a make-up to die for. In fact, these girls are simply beautiful that if you asked them to wear rags they would still looked beautiful.
