I Went To BlogHer and Got Some Sexy Healthy Oh!Shoes
I am back from BlogHer '11, and everything you heard about BlogHer conferences is true.
From the SWAG, to the amazing women, to the celebrity sightings, to the feeling of community.
I kept wanting to break into song *My People My People Take me to My People!*
It was just like that.
I had heard about the SWAG. "Was it that good?," I wondered.
Oh, mama, it was that good.
I came home with the sexy shoes you see here.
They are from Oh!shoes.com and I was the lucky winner from the biz card raffle, that Julie of ChubbyMommyRunningClub, arranged. She was at BlogHer working with Oh!shoes.
Why did I fall in love with this pair? They are soft as kidskin, have big, fat cushioned insoles and are dangerously sexy.
The best part? Oh!shoes are cute and comfortable, and are the marriage between athletic shoe technology and Italian fashion design.
Can my shoes be sexy, with me remaining pain free? I was asked to wear them to all three scheduled BlogHer parties on Saturday night.
At 1:30 a.m., my feet looked happier than my face.
Yes.Yes.Yes. These shoes had me sounding like When Harry Met Sally.
Thank you, Julie, for giving this mama a thrill.
I love these shoes. My feet do, too.

First, you have gorgeous legs! (I am obsessed with legs, I apologize).
ReplyDeleteSecond, cute outfit and necklace!
And of course, cute shoes. Really cute shoes.
I want to hear all about your BlogHer experience. Pray tell!
OK, those are seriously cute. You'll probably hear that a lot, but it's true. And comfy, too? You hit the jackpot!
ReplyDeleteYou look so, so great! And I love the shoes. Can't wait to hear more about everything.
ReplyDeleteCute AND comfy? That's a win!
ReplyDeleteThey DO look nice! I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteI love it when people are happy, it shows in their face and you look HAPPY!! And so pretty!! And those shoes look killer on you.
ReplyDeleteYou look FABULOUS in them. But I don't think I have the legs to pull off that look. Thanks though! m.
ReplyDeletenice sounds like you had a great time and the shoes look very nice...
ReplyDeletecute shoes indeed
ReplyDeleteThose are yummy shoes!!! Love the design and look!
ReplyDeleteThey were very cute shoes, indeed. But what was the final cost? Did you ever find out?
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of sexy HEALTHY heels. I've never been much of a fan of high heels, but to know that designers are finally catering to the fact that we'd like to be stylish and painfree... it's music to my ears. :) Those are some CUTE shoes!!! Also, you just look so radiant, happy, and beautiful in this video.
ReplyDeleteSO glad to hear you had a great time at BlogHer, momma! XOXO
LOVE those shoes! Did you dance in them?
ReplyDeleteSo, did you have fun at BlogHer? ::snort::
ReplyDeleteOh, look at your beautiful face! And the shoes are nice, too. I miss you!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love these arse kicking shoes.
ReplyDeleteMama can still be bad, uh huh uh huh.
Love these and will check out the site. I have to go back to work soon! How great it would be to go back and not have my feet hurt!
ReplyDeleteThose are SO cute. I'm totally not someone who wears heels (I fall over) but that makes me want to try a pair. Heels that don't hurt? Bring it on!
ReplyDeleteI need some of those shoes! My feet were killing by the end of each night. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you at Blogher. Hopefully we will meet again!
So happy i got to meet you -- you are so awesome :) those shoes -- so cute!
ReplyDeleteThose are Fabulous shoes! How fun to hear your voice : )
ReplyDeleteThose look awesome! I will be checking it out!
ReplyDeleteVery nice shoes! And you? Look terrific!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously: were you just born that pretty?
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteI am JEAL-to-the-OUS! So glad you had a fabulous time, and love the shoes! I still haven't been able to make it to a BlogHer conference yet because of other commitments, but next year is going to be my year - I hope!
ReplyDeleteI *knew* there were shoes to covet at BlogHer...wrote about that in my post today ("I'm Jealous!") even BEFORE I saw your gorgeous swaggy shoes. So I ordered myself a pair. Now I feel better.
ReplyDeleteI should not have looked at those shoes. My closet makes Imelda Marcos' closets look beggardly. I am so fucked (as is my credit card) Sigh.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely awesome shoes! I normally don't go for heels (I'm a flip-flop kind of girl), but those are FAB!
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome shoes! I had no idea about all of the swag until I've been reading all of these posts! (Yes, I've recently crawled out of a rock and am now sunning myself in the light).
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of those shoes - sounds absolutely right up my alley. Welcome back - so happy you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteOMG!SO cute and the shoes weren't bad either.You are as adorable in person as you are online plus you got the chance to heart hug my online bestie Jenni Chiu.So, you and I hugged by association...you just didn't know it!LOL XO
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad that I missed BlogHer and the opportunity to meet you in person :(
ReplyDeleteThis shoe site is amazing! comfortable and cute? I really didn't think it was possible! Thanks Alexandra! I'm getting a pair asap!
Those are cute shoes!
ReplyDeleteI went to BlogHer and all I got was a staph infection from the damn hot tub! Glad you got some shoes out of the deal!
ReplyDeleteWhy did I think you would have this soft little hint of that beautiful heritage of yours in your voice? You sound like my people! My Chicago family.
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are adorable. I love beauty and comfort meshed together.
I just read Cheryl over at MommyPants BlogHer post and watched her flash mob video and quite suddenly I was crying. The tears caught me by surprise. I should have gone. Every year I let whatever I've got going on in my life, be the priority. I must make this a priority. You say BlogHer is having a writer's conference which is right up my alley. Unfortunately and I MUST make this my priority, it's when my hubs and I are going away for our 25th wedding anniversary. I promise you, I will do this. You all mean too much to me.
And, you looked HOT in those shoes. Yes, you did.
ReplyDeleteGlad I got to see you in them. :)
You are a natural on camera! So calm, poised and adorable exquisite!
ReplyDeleteI love your dress!
And your hair is FAB!
Also, I totally giggled at Joann's comment. Chi-town girls rock!
Thanks for the video!!
ReplyDeleteLucky girl, will you help me pick out some lottery numbers??
No lie about these shoes.
ReplyDeleteThey feel like a pair of running shoes...the cusions, the insoles, and the style.
Man, I feel so sexyhotuberasskicker in them.
Important things for a mama.
LOVE THESE SHOES.
You had me at comfortable shoes.
ReplyDeleteMost of the time I can't do heels and such because they pinch my toes.
But I could handle comfortable.
Again, it was so great seeing you! This video does not seem to be working at the moment for me - but I'm a sucker for comfy shoes.
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well! Mwah! xoxo
Nice stems!
ReplyDeleteHoney, they're gorgeous! And you're gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCan I say it again? Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
XO
I saw those shoes. They. Are. Fabulous. If I could afford 'em I'd go buy 5 pairs! Instead, I'll have to admire yours. Long distance.
