Shoe Boxers

Several trends popped up last year in the shoe world. Platforms made a major comback. Leopard skin was HOT! And the wedge was all over the place. From casual to formal, conservative to avante garde, the wedge was the shoe to reckon with. This shoe gave a whole new definition to WEDGIE!

Every diva, actress, singer, celebrity rocked a wedge for the camera last year. Paris, Ciarra, Carmen Electra, Lindsay Lohan, Eva Longoria, Ashlee Simpson, America’s Next Top Model winners and more. Let’s have a look back at wedge sightings for last year:

Even wedge heel boots were hot!

Wedges on the RED CARPET!

So what do you think? Will wedges be a fashion staple for 2007?

Are your shoes dumped in a corner of your room? Or better yet, do you use the Rubbermaid bin mode of storage for your prized possessions? Not a good thing. I have discussed shoe organization before, but considering it’s a new year and seems to be a time for updated organization, I thought I’d share this:

RAKKU: The shoe wheel.

Store up to 30 pair of shoes in a wheel. If you have Monk type characteristics (OCD)you can even organize them by color! Insert your favorites into adjustable pockets through elastic bands, which keep everything protected and uniform.

Why didn’t I think of that?
