Allow me to make a confession: I have a problem with shoes! My dilemma is that I have a closet full of them, yet shopping isn’t always so fun. I often can’t find that perfect pair and when I do, I get turned off by outrageous prices. So the folks behind Shoegasm couldn’t have reached out to us at a better time.

Shoegasm is a chic boutique with with exposed brick walls and antique furniture- walking into this eccentric store is an experience within itself. The walls are filled with contemporary shoes at very reasonable prices. Check out these edgy booties (pictured above), also available in black and brown for only $49.99. I also liked a pair of silver pumps adorned with metallic flowers. Shoegasm didn’t disappoint me and was a complete relief to my usual shoe-shopping frustrations. I recommend that you check it out (guys this means you too)!  In New York, Shoegasm has three locations near Chelsea, Tribeca and the Flatiron District. Until next time, stay chic!  Shoegasm, www.Shoegasm.com

You might be familiar with those black and yellow books; the ones that can teach you how to do just about anything. We’re talking about the “For Dummies” series. If not long overdue already, there is finally one on fashion. And I, Bijoux, had the privilege of speaking with the Fashion for Dummies author Jill Martin.

Dressed in the most basic pieces, Jill made a pair of $85 fitted blue jeans, a crisp white crew neck tee, finished with black high boots from Payless look amazing. She said it’s all about having a closet full of 10’s. Everything you own, you must absolutely love and feel great when wearing it. Being able to rate your closet as a 10, means having a wardrobe that alleviates clutter and makes room for more pieces. Concentrate on quality over quantity. See my on-camera interview with the fashion expert and Today Show correspondent below.
