King St., Charleston, S.C. |
The accolades keep coming for Charleston. Already named the top tourist destination in America, now it's on a tony list for shopping.Right beside the glittering fame of Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles and Fifth Avenue in New York lies King Street as one of the 10-best shopping streets in the nation, according to U.S. News and World Report's online Travel page. Here's part of what it had to say about the storied retail corridor: "This historic avenue pulses with pedestrians in search of the perfect outfit or gift. Beautiful buildings house big-name brands like Apple and Banana Republic; however, it's the number of family-owned boutiques and male clothiers that really distinguishes King Street. ... Although King Street bustles with pastel-clad patrons particularly in the spring, you'll find Southern hospitality persists year-round."Speaking of shopping, my free range tootsies rebel at the end of every summer when they have to be caged again and the search is on every fall for a comfortable yet semi stylish shoe. I was relieved to find this year's model at Philips Shoe ( I love you, I love you, I love you) store and they are sweeties. They are the Taos Majesty and although I only wear black, they do come in a few colors.
You can expect to see me wear these shoes every single day of the work
week until spring when I will have to throw them out in shreds and go back to my favorite Naot sandals.
Don't know if the sandals look so comfy (is that wood sole flexible?)although they look very high fashion, but the top shoes are gorgeous and comfy looking - love the silver button. Nice :)
ReplyDeleteI loved Charleston my one time down there, I will have to find my way back someday.
They are comfy though - from the very first day or they wouldn't be for me. The sole is flexible and more of a platform than a heel. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteLove the top ones!
ReplyDeleteP.S. It's my birthday! Come party on my blog! 8-)
I buy all my shoes at Philips, it's a super store. Yay Charleston and King Street!
ReplyDeleteDo they come in 14D?
ReplyDeleteMarcheline! Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteJulia - I hope you don't have to wipe my drool off the shoes :) Sometimes I just visit them.
Jack - If they do I want a picture!
We need to see a photo of you modeling your new shoes.
