This is sure to be a blockbuster. Can we get in line now? Jimmy Choo is teaming up with H&M. Slated for November 14, 2009, the line will include shoes, bags and women’s clothing.

Footwear will be in the $99 to $129 price bracket with perhaps a few more expensive items. Ballet flats will run in the $59 range. Handbags will run from $59 to $299. The news so far is that markets will be limited and the stores have not yet been announced.

There might be women fighting in the aisles over this one!

A Visit to Marshalls Cube

Marshalls sent me a gift card to go check out their in store Marshalls Cube. If you are not familiar with Marshalls it is a retailer that stocks a multitude of brands at discount prices. Stores such as this usually obtain overstocks and such from top names at greatly reduced prices and then sell them at a discount over what you would find in a regular department store.

Marshall's Cube

The Cube is Marshalls'  “in store boutique.”  Essentially, it is an area set aside in the store for more young, trendy, and hip types of items. When I visited, I found that the cube did indeed have a nice selection of items and it was a good way to locate a variety of trendier items instead of having to locate them in the general store racks.  A large amount of the clothing was sized for teens, although there were some misses sizing in there as well.

Brands ranged from a large selection of Baby Phat, to Calvin Klein, to a few pairs of Seven for all Mankind jeans priced at an incredible $39.  I spotted a very nice yellow/orange coat, that I considered purchasing, and also took a look at the wide selection of handbags and sunglasses in the Cube. With those, the store again did a nice job of sorting out the trendier items. There were also a selection of shoes, but since Marshalls also has its own monstrous shoe department that tends to be pretty well organized, I’m not sure that the Cube is the first place in the store that you want to check for shoes.

Ultimately, I hung onto my gift card because I’m hoping to find some of those Seven for all Mankind jeans in stock in my size on a return trip. That is hardly a sure thing, but you never know!

Overall, if you are looking for some trendy bargains, stop by a Marshalls and check out the Cube. They also have a nicely laid out Facebook Page that you can join.

Avoid High Heel Blisters! Profoot Slik Stik, Anti-Blister Stik

Profoot Slik StikProfoot Care Slik Stik, Anti-Blister Stick is a fairly new product marketed as a "miracle" anti-blister stick. It generally lives up to its name!

The stick looks and feels quite a bit like a deodorant stick. Rub it on your feet where your shoes rub, and the product leaves a moisturizing barrier that helps prevent excessive rubbing and chaffing. The product goes on clear and has no scent that I could notice.

The anti-blister stick also works pretty well. I tried some on a pair of heels that I have been unable to wear for any length of time because the strap was rubbing too much. With use of the Profoot Slik Stik, I was able to actually wear the shoes. I still would not take a lengthy walk in them, but the stick allowed me to wear them to work for a day with no real problems. So it saved a pair of cute shoes that were otherwise destined for Goodwill.

Another similar product is Band-Aid Active Flex Blister Block Stick. I haven't tried the Band-aid product, but it appears to be essentially the same thing.
