High heels are arguably one of the loudest shoes which can bring unwanted attention in certain places and situations.  Click clock click clock – here me walk! – echoing down from the hallway, each and every step.  It’s one reason why the majority of hotel hallways and corporate corridors are, well, carpeted.

There are a few things you can do to shoes in order to reduce the noise.  Or, take them to a shoemaker.  But why all the hassle when you can simply shop at ssh-oes.com?

Ssh-oes is supposedly the only company in the world specializing in quite heels.  Apart from the quietness, the heels are also fashion-forward and available in several styles from pumps to booties.  Guaranteed to be enjoyed by heel-loving fashionistas!

I’m completely head-over-heels with my first pair from ssh-oes.com, the Madame Pumps ($139) in black suede.  Aren’t they gorgeous?  And just as importantly, the fit is great too – true to size, and comfortable considering the 4″ heel.  With a hidden platform, it feels more like 3″.

“The ssh-oes have a non-slip, sound absorbing rubber outsole and a patent pending noise reducing heel lift so, they do not make as much noise when you walk.”

As far as the sound goes, these delightful pumps are considerably quieter compared to my other heels.  The sound test passed “quietly” on concrete, stone, tile and wood surfaces.

The new bag I’ve been enjoying as of late is The Victoria Bag from WorkingCute.  My first impression – big & beautiful!  A gorgeous vegan leather bag that is large enough to carry a laptop and other essentials, it’s the ideal hold-all bag for busy working woman!  I’m absolutely loving this big organized piece of Heaven.

Over the last few years I’ve turned into a huge scarf lover.  Scarves have become my favorite on-the-go, year around accessory.  There is nothing else quite like a scarf to add that effortless Euro-chic appeal to an outfit.  So every season, I’m always on the lookout for new scarves to add to my wardrobe.

If you are looking for beautiful, high quality scarves, look no further than Chic Tweak – an online shop showcasing some of the best scarves on the market.

I have the Bindya NY Forrest scarf (photo on the left) from chictweak.com.  The leopard print in a gorgeous color combination (pink & gray) had my name written all over.

First I thought the $140 price tag was a bit high for a scarf.  Well, that notion completely went away the moment I laid my eyes and hands on this beauty – it’s easily the chicest scarf that I own.  Let’s just say that I’m over-the-moon with this scarf both in terms of fashion & function.

I was pleasingly surprised with the size – 80″ x 40″, enough to be a small blanket!  I also love the overall quality of the fabric.  Its fabric composition is 85% wool and 25% silk which makes it luxuriously soft and lightweight.  And in what I consider the most glamorous print – leopard.

See how big the scarf is?  It’s ample size yields more wearing options compared to other scarves.  Wear it as a wrap (over LBD), sarong (at the beach) or use it as a light blanket (on a plane).  I mostly enjoy just wrapping it around my neck and letting it fall over my shoulders.

Chic Tweak features an array of scarves in varying prints & colors.  There are some adorable ones on sale as well.  Here are my favorite picks.  Tip: A vibrant scarf works best worn with minimal shapes and subdued basics.

There is makeup in a variety of shades to fit your skin tone, so why not for the undergarments?  Every woman should own nude bras and panties that actually matches to your skin tone just as you would do with your foundation.  Nude is the best color choice for undergarments as it provides the least amount of visibility through your clothes.  We want your style to shine through not your underwear.  When it comes to finding perfect nude bras & panties, MySkins has got you covered.

The site offers a unique skin tone chart with 20 skin matching colors to find the closest shade to your skin. Yes, 20 colors!  Far greater choices than a few beige hues at the department stores.

There is a pdf file for the color match card you can download to print or simply request a free card to be mailed to you.  All you have to do is match the colors against your skin to get the optimal match.  With the matching colors and seamless design, they are essentials for your underwear wardrobe.

Bra
MySkin’s bra is $60 and comes in three styles – T-Shirt, Convertible, and Plunge.  The site recommends the best location for color matching the bra is either a front of the shoulder, or the center of the chest.

I chose the convertible bra for its versatile style in Pecan hue.  Ultra smooth texture feels great to the touch.  Scalloped edges add a feminine vibe.

Once put on, it seamlessly molds to your shape without tucking or pulling.  My white shirt is very thin yet no one will notice the bra underneath.

There are times (well, most of the time) when all you want to do is put on a pair of comfortable shoes.  Sometimes, the stylish casual shoes are hardest to find.  Thanks to LAMO, you can have the best of both worlds – style & comfort!

I haven’t really seen such cute slip-ons like the ones I’m reviewing today, they are called Moca.  These lovely loafer style moccasins are the epitome of casual yet chic style.  To me, these are casual luxury, it’s easy to see why once you put them on.  Available in multiple colors – black, chestnut, magenta, yellow, for $69 from LAMO.  Please allow me to introduce the Moca in buttery chestnut.

A moccasin made from buttery soft suede with a heat/moisture regulating sheepskin insole. Nailhead studs on top and on the heel provide a trendy accent.
