Flip Flop wines and Soles4Souls come together for a great cause!

In 2000 when I first started my shoe business I attended a conference for shoe retailers.  I attended the first couple of years and I believe it was the 2nd or third year that I met Wayne Elsey, the founder of Soles4Souls.  I enjoyed speaking with him and loved the concept behind this new charity. 

Soles4Souls has distributed over 15.2 million pairs of new and gently worn shoes to over 127 countries to those in need.  A pair of flip-flop sandals will be given to those in need for every bottle of newly-launched flipflop wine purchased this year.

Soles4Souls Inc. will partner with flipflop wines to provide new shoes for needy people around the world. The program will raise much needed funds to give shoes and provide one pair of flip-flop sandals for each bottle of flipflop wine purchased this year (up to 100,000 pairs for the first 100,000 bottles sold, where promotion is legal).

“The flipflop team has taken the mission of Soles4Souls to heart and we are very proud to partner with them to make a difference in the lives of thousands of people,” said Wayne Elsey, founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. "Their generosity and direct involvement benefits people who need our assistance and this unique partnership will allow those who enjoy a good bottle of wine to also make a personal difference with their lifestyle choices.”

flipflop wines, distributed by Underdog Wine Merchants, are a brand new collection of expressive, well-balanced wines that are a perfect fit with today’s more casual lifestyle. “I am very pleased to be supporting this program,” said David Georges, vintner for flipflop wines. "Not only are we making great wines for everyday enjoyment but we have created an opportunity for wine lovers to make a difference.  With one pair of flip-flops given away for every bottle of wine purchased, people can raise a toast knowing that people in real need will benefit.  Before Underdog Wine Merchants launched flipflop wines, we had already collected over 500 pairs of new and gently used shoes from employees and friends.  I’m looking forward to taking an active role with working with Soles4Souls throughout the year.”

Sporting Vintage Wedding Shoes -- The Newest Trend

Celebrities' newest trend, sport some vintage wedding shoes on that special day.

By: peter dolvanovich

Styles are always evolving, and while that takes place, what's old becomes new. One of the most recent, and hip styles embraced by celebrities is sporting vintage wedding shoes on that important, memorable occasion.


Now as wedding accessories go, possibly the most important decision for any bride to make is her bridal shoes. That undoubtedly comes in second place only to her choice of her wedding dress. They'll heighten the entire outfit, regardless of it's conventional or completely unique.


The wedding shoes need to accent the gown and offer absolute comfort throughout what's going to become quite a long and certainly special day. Remember that you will be wearing the vintage shoes from very early that morning until last thing at night. Obviously no bride wants to be stuck in pain when she could be concentrating on her new husband and all of the guests!


Now obviously there are lots of trends of bridal heels, thinking about heel height, toe styles, fabric and colors, and all those factors must be carefully considered.


Pick a heel height and toe style that will both accent your wedding gown as well as make you you relaxed. As long as you're used to wearing a flatter pump, decide on a flatter pump.


And when you go for that final wedding dress try on, make certain to bring your shoes. Any last second changes to shoe height might leave the hem of the gown too long or quite a bit too short. In fact, it will be better if you could bring your preferred pumps for every appointment, from first to last.


Materials range from satin to lace. Plus many of these are readily available in a variety of colors and styles. Don't be scared to experiment with colors other than just white either.


Let's say that your dress has red features, then try a different pump to bring them out. Or how about matching the colour of the shoes to the look of your bridesmaids' dresses? You can even make your shoes be the something blue in your wedding day.


Silk shoes work rather well with shiny dresses, silk with matt style dresses and, obviously, lace heels with any lace gown is the best decision.


In reality, vintage wedding shoes are a popular choice, because the look and fabric will accent most wedding dresses, specifically the more traditional dresses, and are readily available in a large choice of heel heights and designs to give comfort for any future wife.


Small embellishments on the chosen wedding pump might give that extra bit of class. So consider crystals on shoes if your dress is sparkly or sheen while beaded heels go quite well with dresses that have lace accents.


You should also consider the kind of wedding that you are holding. The traditional daylight wedding will be wearing a vintage wedding pump, whilst a sophisticated night wedding would let you have strappy sandals or similar. If you are having a beach wedding, then high heels are a definite no go, pick a flat shoe type.


Are you getting married in the summer? Then an open toed look will be quite fine. Getting married in the winter, then, you will definitely want a covered toe design to keep those feet warm. Again, both styles are accessible in most vintage wedding shoes.


And another great tip, that we now know from experience is that if you get your wedding shoes ahead of time, then you should be sure to wear them for a couple of weeks before the big day comes. Why should you? Because you will be able to break them in a little, well before the wedding even comes. That can give you a big leg up of true comfort, once that big day eventually comes.


One last thing, if you're wondering if getting an original pair of vintage wedding shoes is out of your budget or just is too pricey for you, remember that you could always shop online. Lots of brides that shop online wind up saving at least forty percent off of what they would have spent, if they were buying by retail. So just start up your favorite browser and get looking. A contemporary survey has now shown that on the typical wedding, you could save around $1000, just by ordering or finding everything you want on the internet.



Author Resource:->  Peter has recently designed a blog with wedding fashion designer, Rose Webb, about all aspects on your important day, it covers wholesale wedding dresses, cheap wedding veils, and vintage wedding shoes. Be sure to stop by their blog about vintage wedding shoes.

This is similar to a new style that one of our suppliers came out with in White, Light Ivory, Black, and Silver.  They will be out of stock until the end of August so I had to come up with an alternative for one of my brides.  The style has been pretty popular so far!  It is called Birdy.  It can actually be made on  1/4", 2 1/4", and 3 inch heels.

Miss Quinceanera Magazine Cover Girl

Last weekend I had the honor of being a judge for the Miss Quinceanera Magazine Covergirl Pageant.  What a treat that was for me.  15 girls around the age of 15 competed for 3 spots to be the covergirl for the 2011 magazine.  The event was held at Knott's Berry Farm Resort Hotel in Buena Park. 

The event was carried out in three stages:  Casual Dress, Cocktail Dress, Evening Gown, and Finalists.  We were to judge them on Beauty, Presence, Confidence, Speech and Etiquette.

In the Casual stage the girls introduced themselves mentioning where they are from.  All were dressed in the official "Miss Cover Girl" t-shirt with black pants and high heels and carried a surprise accessory. 

In the second stage the girls appeared in co
cocktail dresses and explained why they wanted to be the quinceaneras magazine cover girl.

Just before intermission the current Miss Quinceaneras Magazine Cover Girl, Miss Priscilla  Lopez, sang a couple of songs.  What a beautiful and fantastic voice this young girl has!

In the third stage the girls appeared in their evening gowns and walked the runway.

There were also two extra prizes for Miss Photogenic, selected by the event photographer, and Miss Congeniality, selected by the contestants!

Eight candidates with the highest scores were selected to remain for the finalist round.  They answered questions that were asked randomly.  The questions were pre-selected and handed to the master of ceremonies who asked the questions of the contestants.

Congratulations to the three beautiful winners.  We all felt that they all were winners though!  I was truly honored to have been asked to be a judge in this wonderful contest.  Thank you Norma Capatanachi for giving me this great opportunity!

What a romantic spot this is…with breath taking views of the sailboats in the harbor, the surrounding cliff, and the spectacular sunsets. The banquet room has large windows on three sides that provide expansive harbor and ocean views. The banquet room is elegantly appointed with prism chandeliers and high-vaulted ceilings. This unique space can accommodate up to 175 guests. Elegant weddings, special occasions or business meetings, the Dana Point Yacht Club, with their preferred catering team and personal attention to detail they will help you create an occasion to remember.

We were fortunate enough to be able to be a part of their Romance on the Water event.  Everything about it was top notch from the food and pastries, to the music and dance lessons!

Teen Party Expo

Wow, what a month!  We have done 2 bridal shows, a launch party, and last weekend we had a booth at the Teen Expo in Culver City.  We brought lots and lots of shoes to show off and sell.  It was a very nice show.  Our shoes were in the fashion show as well.  The party dresses were so nice to see.  Ball gowns like Cinderella along with some shorter options!
