FOOTLOOSE & FANCY...

Even if your husband isn't a Philippine dictator, embrace your inner Imelda Marcos and build your own shoe collection! After a recent frustrating trip to the local shoe store I decided (rather than deal with the 18 year old, snippy, know-it-all clerk) to take matters into my own hands..and feet. I logged on to http://www.nike.com/ and designed a unique pair of shoes (great gift idea!). Believe it or not, it's easy to design your own footloose and fancy-free life in a few easy steps..you can even choose the color of shoelaces you want! It's just a hop, skip and a jump away!
