Okay, I rarely have anything bad to say about the products I post (in fact, I try to only post good products, because no one wants to read about things that are bad anyway), but when I saw these shoes featured by a more prominent fashion blogger named Mandy Fierens, I had to speak out. Mandy is a stylist for Modcloth, a brand I generally have a lot of respect for because of their unique but tasteful styles. After looking through her outfits, I have a lot of respect for Mandy as well. She's a curvy girl and looks great in everything she wears! But these shoes were an exception. The City Summer Night Heel from ModCloth designer Jeffrey Campbell costs a whopping $125 (see title link), and are probably one of the most atrocious pairs of shoes I have ever seen. To call them heels is to overestimate their classiness. To call them Mod Retro Vintage Heels is just insulting. They are made of blue velvet, and have extra sparkles to stand out. Oh, and that hideous bow? It's clip-on, thankfully, so you can take it off (or hide it on the strap). They promise to stop traffic - oh, you'll stop it all right, but for all the wrong reasons.

Whitney Port
I've only watched one full episode of The Hills (yes, I'll admit I've watched it) and loved Whitney Port. She's the only one who seems genuine, as if she isn't acting for the cameras. Sure, she might have her own show for MTV now following her around (The City), but she has a college degree from USC and seems smart and ambitious, two qualities that every girl should strive for (see title link).
