I first saw J. Reneé Butterfly-Print Fabric Flats on the Home Shopping Network when I was laying in bed watching TV one night. I was in a mad hunt to find something or a shoe brand to post on Shoe Boxers and just by chance the print flats flashed across the screen. As I laid there watching this, all the while my husband grumbling for me to switch the channel, it got me to thinking. Print flats have gone out of style in a way. Only people that are seen in print flats anymore are woman considered to be “stuck in the 80s”. So I did some research to find out more about why print flats have become more scarce within a classy woman’s shoe collection and this is what I found.

It’s not that they have disappeared completely, even the Jessica Simpson Collection has their own style of print flats, it’s the fact that more and more woman, since the 80s have downsized their wardrobe collection and this means even their shoes took a hit. I am a bargain hunter, aren’t we all at times, see a sale, have to check it out type of attitude, but the print flat has gotten a bad rep lately. Or maybe even a bad rep for the last 20 years. Most think they can’t pair a style of print flats with any outfit without it clashing and looking like they own 15 cats and have come out of the basement to buy green apples in a rush only to disappear back into their home with their hideous shoes. Not true. If you have looked at print flats lately, the styles have gotten to be some of the cutest styles lately and can go with just about anything. So if you are in the market to add to your ever growing shoe collection, consider adding some print flats to that collection. There are some super cute styles under some super star names anymore.

Here’s to great shoes!

Could it get any better than this? For fans of Jessica Simpson’s music, they can now wear her shoe collection.

Since Jessica Simpson has been on the celebrity scene she has been known for your wonderful style sense, so it’s no wonder that she has come up with her own line of shoes. On her website Jessica Simpson Collection she has her shoe line, which is also available at Macy’s, as well as her own outwear, eyewear, swim wear, handbags, jewelry, intimates and even her own line of fragrance called “Fancy”.

Her collection of shoes, clothing and even handbags have been featured in Cosmo, Elle Magazine, Glamour, Life & Style, Marie Clair, People Magazine, Self Magazine, Seventeen and many, many more. She is known to some as the fashion leader in great styling, and has been known to have a great fashion forward sense.

Her shoe line is one of the upper end lines that have several styles to suit anyone’s shoe needs. From heels and boots, to flats and slip-ons. Most of her shoe collection will definitely compliment any style you decide to wear for the day. There are several colors and also every shoe has her signature inside the sole of the shoe itself.

On the Jessica Simpson Collection site you can view every style that is currently being featured and you can even purchase right off the site itself. While you are there thumbing through the shoe or swimwear line, be sure and purchase her own version of a gift bracelet she received from one of the troops made of parachute cord and a button from his uniform called, “With All My Heart” bracelet for $20. All proceeds go straight to the Armed Forces Children’s Education Fund. Jessica is a huge supporter of our U.S. troops over seas and at home and this purchase of $20 will show you support them just as much.

I was first drawn to these shoes because of their cost. They didn’t break my budget. I love the feel of the sandals and want to spread the word about how great they are to everyone I come across. Not all shoes are equal and these draw the line above and beyond the call for soles on my feet.

I have to hand it to Jessica Simpson’s shoe folks. They have done an excellent job of interpreting trends and giving them a great price point. Not too cheap — not your Payless variety shoes, but not too expensive either. Her platforms were a huge hit last year. And now, she has interpreted that cone heel that Marc Jacobs has done such a beautiful job on.

Unfortunately, this isn’t an investment shoe, just compare the quality of workmanship on a pair of Marc Jacobs and on Jessica Simpson’s.
