What is the best way to remove odor from suede high heels?

Monday, August 30th, 2010

I just shelled out half a paycheck on a fabulous pair of black suede pumps, and got caught in a downpour shortly thereafter. Of course, now they smell like a mixture of wet cow and feet. What is the best way to get odor out of high heels for good? I usually just throw sneakers in the washer machine but I’m not sure about these and I don’t want to ruin them. Febreze only works for so long – as soon as I get them on my feet again they start to smell. I’ve tried baking soda and various sprays, but they’re just a temporary fix. Any suggestions?
I’ll try that Penelope, and sadly there wasn’t a forecast. Mama Nature has been very hormonal lately and you’ll get a torrential downpour in the middle of a hot and sunny day. They last all of ten minutes but that’s enough time to ruin a pair of shoes.

Try this, until you can take them to a shoe repair shop fro proper cleaning:

GO to the grocery store and buy a pair of knee-high stockings (No Nonsense is an inexpensive brand) and a bag of kitty litter. OPEN the knee-highs and put a cup of kitty litter in the foot of two stockings. TIE a knot in each stocking to keep the kitty litter inside. PLACE one kitty litter-filled stocking into each shoe. ALLOW them to sit overnight, preferably for at least 24 hours.

Yes, I know it sounds weird…but give it a try.

(I gotta wonder why you wore suede pumps if you knew there was a forecast of rain.)

Where can I find a pair of cute brown suede boots?

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

I need some brown suede boots for fall. No heels, I like them in a sand kind of color or dark brown. Buckles or no buckles doesn’t matter. Can’t go higher than my knee. And under $100.

How to walk in Christian Louboutins?

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Now i am extremely in love with christian louboutins big lip 120 suede heels! they are amazing!!! but i can barely walk in a mini heel.. i also LOVE they’re pretty bianca platforms! these are so awesome shoes and i need help learning to walk in them! so if you own a pair tell me your experience with your shoes and how you walk in them confidently without falling…. and if you don’t even know about christian louboutin himself… i recommend you check him out and his amazing talent!
thx so much!

I agree- Christian Louboutin is an abosolute GENIUS.
When your doing house work or whatever, wear those shoes. Wear them at like every opportunity you have – in your house. You will gradually get used to it. Also, go onto youtube and watch a few fashion shows or parades and copy what they do

What would you wear with leopard print heels?

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

I’m sorry I don’t have a picture…I just don’t want to bother with my camera right now. Instead, I’ve found a similar image. In fact, they’re VERY similar suprisingly. The only difference is the straps are skinnier.

http://www.footwearstudio.co.uk/ekmps/shops/footwearstudio/images/new-womens-brown-black-leopard-print-platform-shoes-sandals-%5B3%5D-2149-p.jpg

Anyhow, the story is…I bought these leopard print heels from Forever 21 quite early this year. They looked great online, but it turns out I have nothing to wear them with. So this question has two parts:

1. What would look great with them? (think basics; stuff I might already own or could buy for really cheap) I’m seriously stumped.
2. Where on earth would I possibly wear them? They’re too impractical for school, and I don’t party or anything so don’t say "clubbing" or anything along the lines of that.
I’d really like to be able to wear them at least once :(

You can wear them on special occasions, like birthdays, evenings out, etc.
They’d look nice with a black dress or even skinny jeans (with a fancy top).

PS. I love your icon. NPH rocks.
