Well, my salsa shoes arrived this week - two hours before my Wednesday night class. Of course, I couldn't wait to wear them, so they made their maiden voyage to the studio and I hoped for the best. Fortunately, they turned out to be great! And with the amount of anxiety I have about the choreography and the costume, it's a relief to have one less thing to worry about. In fact, I think they've somehow given me a bit of much-needed confidence. If I pull this off, I'm giving at least some of the credit to the shoes!

On Monday, September 27th, The Healthy Voyager is giving away a pair of Neuaura shoes - the super-cute Heron pumps in teal. I hadn't heard of Neuaura before, so after entering the giveaway, I headed over to their website to check out the shoes.  

Turns out that not only does Neuaura make great-looking shoes, but all their footwear is animal-free and the company is committed to protecting the environment. Their factory. located in Brazil, is powered by hydroelectricity and sponsors a habitat for endangered animals native to their area. Even it I'm not lucky enough to win the giveaway, there may be a new pair of Neuaura in my closet soon!

Shoe Sale Saturday - Salsa!

So here's what I'm buying this weekend . . . my very first pair of salsa shoes. I know nothing about salsa, mind you, but I will be performing it on stage in a mere two months. In fact, at my next major bellydance show, only one of my performances will actually be bellydance (the others will be salsa and Romani).

The salsa routine is intimidating for about a dozen reasons, and I've thought many times about retreating to my comfort zone. But, each escape attempt is foiled by a seemingly random coincidence, so I taking that as a sign that it's where I'm meant to be. It feels like a major life accomplishment that I'm even open to this, as in my younger days I'd launch an unwavering fight to make things go my way.

So as you can imagine, these shoes are a big deal - way more than just a pair of shoes. I wonder where they'll take me . . .

Walking Art - Punk High Heels

I've been having fun browsing over at Chiq lately and couldn't resist sharing this photos of shoes that truly are pieces of walking art.

Not much I can say about them other than "WOW!!!"

Shoe Sale Saturday - Great Savings at Famous Footwear

If you're shoe shopping today, be sure to check out Famous Footwear for some great deals. Most shoes are buy one, get one half off, and there's an additional coupon for 20% off your entire purchase (just enter the code LABOR20 at checkout).

I have to admit that I couldn't find any women's shoes that I liked on the website. Their selection really pales in comparison to other shoe sites, which is why you're looking at these Hello Kitty rain boots. If I were shopping this sale today, it would definitely be for kids shoes instead of for me.

Shoe Sale Saturday - 25% Off Sandals at Endless

Although I have boots on the brain, I'm a sandal girl at heart - and it makes me happy that sandal season in Florida is virtually year-round. So when Endless was kind enough (ha!) to e-mail me a reminder that all sandals are 25% off this weekend, I couldn't help taking a peek. Shoe Sale Saturday is definitely going to cause me trouble - these totally adorable, completely impractical sandals are only $25 (including FREE two-day shipping).

Shoe Sale Saturday - 15% at PiperLime through Ebates

I know that I keep saying “it’s not all about the shoes”, but sometimes it is . . . just a little. And Saturday seemed like a good day to reward myself for a hard week’s work by browsing the best shoe deals online . . . who knows, maybe you’ll reward yourself too!

As an avid shoe lover and newly-reformed couponer, it's hard to believe that I've never shopped on PiperLime and still haven't checked out Ebates. So when my friend Missy e-mailed me about the great shoe deal the two are teaming up for this holiday weekend, I knew it was the perfect deal to share for Shoe Sale Saturday.

Shop on PiperLime through Ebates this weekend, and get 15% cash back on your purchase. Since a lovely little cool snap has hit Virginia (where we're vacationing) today, I'm in the mood for boots! I'm window shopping only today, but aren't these great??? Love them!

Shoe Sale Saturday - Paisley Rain Boots

Now I have to admit that I'm not big on rubber shoes, and I don't think I've ever owned rain boots in my life . . . but for some reason, I think these boots are adorable! I found them on this fun blog called Great Green Shoes, which I'm sure I'll spend many hours exploring. "Cute" isn't generally the first word that comes to mind when you hear the phrase "vegan shoes", but she has managed to find some really great ones!

Shoe Sale Saturday - Something to Keep Me Running

Moving on to something a little more practical, I finally ordered new running shoes. I don't even want to tell you how many miles were on the old ones, and if I'm going to start running again, new shoes are definitely in order. But before you start thinking I choose my running shoes based on looks, please know that it's only a coincidence that they're cute and pink. Most of my former running shoes have been pretty hideous looking, so I'm excited about these!

They should arrive on Tuesday - free 2-day shipping courtesy of Endless, and they ship back for free if I don't love them. I've never bought running shoes online before, but since I've worn Asics for years, I thought I'd give it a try. The biggest selling point for me was the $30 I knocked off the price by using the Amazon gift cards I earned through SwagBucks (Endless is owned by Amazon).

If you haven't signed up for Swagbucks yet, it's a great way to earn prizes (such as Amazon gift cards) by searching online (which you already do anyway). Make Swagbucks your homepage, and search through them instead of another search engine. If you decide to sign up, please consider doing so through my referral link so we can both earn points (and shoes!)

A Little More Shoe Art

Writing about shoe art made me think about my favorite artist, Derek Gores, and all his amazing pictures of shoes. Now it's a new thing for me to have a favorite artist, but I was strolling through an art festival last year and was completely taken with his collage work. Check it out on his website or Facebook . . . the shoes are only the beginning.

Though I'm not usually fond of artwork with people in it, his portraits of women are just stunning and he's posted a preview of a commissioned piece for the Orlando Magic.A commissioned portrait is on my "big wish list" for someday, but I don't know how I'd decide the subject . . . the kids, a bellydance portrait, recreating a wedding photo. Too many choices. For now, I'll just covet the shoes.

A Little Shoe Art

So it's Saturday, and I have shoes on the brain - mainly because I've designated today as Shoe Sale Saturday. But before I start shopping (all for your benefit, of course), I thought I'd share this lovely photo with you.

My friend Jill over at Vegan in the Kitchen sent me the link to this earlier in the week. After digging around a little, I found that they'd been causing quite a stir online because people were trying to order them . . . only to find out they were just a piece of art (rather than actual shoes). Still, I thought they were too cute not to share.
