WSJ shoe betch is totally our sole mate

Today the Wall Street Journal is running the inspirational story of Meghan Cleary and her brave efforts to keep more than 100 shoes organized in a typical shoebox NYC apartment.
We love this woman as much as we love the original Shoe Betch. She so gets it. But of course she does. Meghan makes her living writing and speaking about shoes. She is a "shoe expert." Job envy alert!
Eelskin is back?
Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Shoes
Not that eelskin was ever "in" to go "out," but I do remember a point some time during my late elementary school days when every wallet, handbag, belt, and briefcase was made with eel-skin. I am not sure if it had something to do with the fact that my parents were going overseas a lot and coming back with eelskin as gifts from Asia, or that it truly was a fashionable material at the time, or that it was a cheaper way to luxe animal skins, but I just remember thinking "Gross. Eels."I hadn't seen eelskin on anything in almost 15 years until a few days, while shopping around for shoes. I came across Pelle Mode's Xcite Pump (a total Louboutin biter, of course) in a nude colored eel-skin. I think I might have *gasp!*-ed at the sight, but realized that eelskin is...pretty hot. As much as you all may laugh, I went back to my closet, dug out an old suitcase, dusted it off, opened it, dug through all the things I have kept for over 15 years insisting that perhaps someday I will be able to use/wear it, and pulled out an enormous eelskin bag.
You better believe my "vintage" eelskin bag will be seen on the streets this Spring.
