Shoe Mystery

By -
becca and I both own these purple double-strap mary janes. The mystery is that we bought them back in 2007 from Naturalizer. So why are they now for sale on Endless under the brand name Me Too? We don't own shoes like these, we own these. The one review is even from 2007 and mentions the same fluke of dye that we actually like.

I've seen designs pop up from one designer to another year after year, but this is the first time I've wondered if perhaps companies sell not only their designs but also their prototypes once they feel they've run their course.

Have any of you seen something like this before?

Yes! I have a pair of Steve Maddens that are single strap mary janes (brown), and also have them in black under the Candies brand (from Kohls), and aqua color from Xhiliration (from Target). I guess that makes sense that the department store ones would want to mimic other styles, but I thought it was funny that they were all exactly the same.

The other funny thing is the Kohls and Target ones are more durable than the Madden ones! They have a little button cover on the side, and on my Madden ones, the button cover popped off! I had to super glue it back on (thank goodness I saw it come off and could recover it).

I am not sure if I could add pictures, but I could show you what i mean.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
