Shoe shopping has been equivocated with therapy for some people. The fun and satisfying hunt for the perfect shoe or the surprising and satisfying find can turn any bad mood around. How can you possibly be depressed when you’ve found shoes that will make you look so good! But sometimes you find yourself stranded, unable to get out to engage in some much needed shoe therapy. What do you do then?

When you are stranded and unable to soothe your self with some good old fashioned shoe shopping, it’s time to thank technology for it’s many advances. Just turn on your computer, click onto the internet, and begin! You can find (almost) the same satisfaction you would have found if you were able to go out. There are so many sites that offer great shoe shopping choices, you don’t even need to leave your home.

Of the many cyber stores available on the internet, one of the best shoe stores would have to be Piperlime. Piperlime offers a variety of shoes that you would find at Gap, Banana Republic, and even Old Navy. Their shoes are full of style and always offer the newest trends. The styles are versatile and always sexy. The only problem you may find at this site is deciding which shoes not to buy!

The site is easy to navigate. The headline topics divide the shoe shopping options into easy to decide looks. Under $75 lets you know you will be viewing shoes that won’t break your budget. Comfy and cute means you will be able to wear these looks without worrying about aching feet. Wear to work is where you will find shoes appropriate for most professional jobs.

At Style Cowboy, we appreciate a good designer handbag. But nothing justifies a $28,990 purchase price. There is no handbag worth that much. It’s that simple, even if Jessica Simpson spends 10x that each year on her handbags.

The good news is that we live in a world where amazing, celebrity designer inspired handbags are available for under $1000: a price many of us can afford if we want to pamper ourselves. Here’s an article that shows some of the great options us normal people have when it comes to styling our handbags like the celebs.

Don’t worry. If you’re missing the snark and the hilarity of the ridiculous fashion choices some of our favorite celebrities make, this isn’t the end. We’ve decided to move our fashion faux pas in among all the other hot fashion and celebrity style news over at Style Crunch. Come on over and check out what’s hot on the runway, who’s designing a new line, and yes, which celebrities look like they smoked up long and hard before choosing their outfit. Come by, say hi, and give us feedback!

See you at Style Crunch!

I can not even express the despair that comes with seeing Paris Hilton wearing a t-shirt with my country’s flag on it. Can we give Paris her own country and send her there? For a really long time?

This dress shows me more of Rachael Ray’s boobs than I had ever hoped to see, but that aside? It’s still a scary dress. The way it hangs sort of gives the impression that she sewed it herself from a small tablecloth ten minutes before leaving the house.

I thought she was only annoying when she opened her mouth to talk but apparently she can still do it, even in still pictures.

Poor Lily Allen. She went and bleached her hair blonde and that was a BAD idea. Now she looks a) much older than she is, b) washed out, and c) like a crackwhore.

Tsk.

Gwyneth Paltrow was wearing some mighty odd shoes last night. If construction boot companies started making high heels, this is what they would look like. What do you think? Are they unique and interesting or just ugly?

Brown is a great color and it can be a nice change from everyone wearing black all the time. The thing is, though, head to toe black can look really classy and artsy. Head to toe brown just sort of makes you look like you went rolling in the mud. Or something else brown.

Seriously though, the real problem with this much brown is that it just kind of all melts together and becomes almost unnoticeable altogether.
