OK, so I am a day late and a dollar short. This year Christmas came too fast for me. I got my tree up on the 20th, Mr. R5 got the flu Dec. 24th, I sent my cards on the 27th, and fell asleep at 8:30 New Year’s Eve. What a train wreck.
Anyways, I am infamous for my New Years Resolutions. They are always the same: lose weight, keep my house cleaner and have discipline with my shoe purchases. I never follow through. This year I am going to change things up a bit. This years resolutions will be to buy better shoes, drink better wine, ride my horse more often and jog/run more.
Now, I know that picking up running shoes is more complicated than choosing the cutest shoe and the prettiest color. I went to a place called Runner’s Den in Phoenix and we picked the proper shoe for my needs. R5Daughter told me the shoes were “not cute”. What do I care? I wear ASICS. They are not a sexy shoe but they get the job done. I order the same shoe, usually last season’s shoe. Everyone is happy.

In 2011, shoe designer Brian Atwood continued to be one of the top designers of choice on the red carpet. Atwood’s appropriately dubbed shoe, the ‘Maniac’, has everyone going bananas over them and he launch a (relatively) cheaper diffusion line of shoes called with much success. For all these reasons, Atwood’s got our pick for shoe designer of the year.
On a side note, Saks Fifth Avenue has a number of pairs of B by Brian Atwood shoes (including the boot above) at over 70% off and in the upper hundred dollar range. We were surprised to find many popular sizes still available but are sure it won’t last long.

By now, we’ve grown accustomed to Lady Gaga’s creative fashion choices. From her sky high platforms, to her heel-less shoes and meat shoes, we didn’t think that Lady Gaga could gives us anymore kicks in the shoe department. Yet, Lady Gaga managed to get our pick for Craziest Shoe Celebrity of the Year by having her shoes censored on national TV. As a guest judge for American Idol, Lady Gaga wore these plastic heels shaped in the form of a male apparatus and gave her little monsters another eyeful.
