As Seen On...OPRAH!

Farewell, Oprah. We'll all miss you and your fab show...but we're here to talk about shoes! Beyonce performed Monday night on the 2-part Oprah finale special and rocked the house with an edited version of Run the World (Girls) AND in a fabulous pair of red patent pumps. These were lower than usual for our girl B which we've been seeing a lot of lately. Maybe the sky-high heel is coming closer to the ground? Maybe.

Beyonce's red pumps reminded us of our own Maylor by Sarah-Jayne. At $39.99 they're a steal. If red isn't your color, try them in black. They're open on the inside of the shoe for a slight twist on a classic silhouette.

Pointed Toe Heels...Back Again!

You'll never guess my level of excitement when I began to see pointed toe heels popping up all over the pages of fashion magazines. I have rows and rows in my closet that I have shied away from over the past couple of years as the almond toe shape dominated. Finally, though, they appear to be making a comeback. Check out a few of our favorite looks from Kate Walsh, Rachel McAdams, Rihanna and Giselle courtesy of E! Online and People Magazine.

Love that Height!

Sky-high heels from Shi by Journeys will be sure to make you stand out (and above) everyone in the room. Perfect for going out, both these styles would look great with a mini or a pair of denim capris.

In the bag.

Out with the old, in with the new. It's springtime ladies, that means time for spring flowers, gorgeous weather, sundresses and peep toes pumps. Don't, however, forget to update your bag! Shop some of our favorites for the season:

Florals are still a big trend for now. The Shi by Journeys Flower Sequin Hobo adds just the right amount of pop to any outfit and it's roomy enough for even the biggest of packrats-you know who you are! (Also available in white). $25

Love love love the gray & yellow combo on this fabric bag. The circular handle is oh so chic and the bag folds over for use with the shoulder strap. Also available in gold/natural (which is a great look for evening). $30

This bag reminds me of a tropical beach on a lovely island in the Caribbean somewhere. The bright colors are so fresh for spring and the wooden beads add an element of richness. $30

If you're brave enough to rock a hot pink handbag, THIS is the bag for you. Great with a fun, black boho dress and ankle wrap sandals. $30

Ok, so I just had to throw a black bag in the list. Even though it's springtime, I too have a hard time straying from my basics. This oversized satchel (exclusive to Shi!) has great storage and toughens up the prettiest of floral dresses. $40

TOMS at Our 2011 Sales Meeting

Big thanks to TOMS footwear for coming out to our 2011 Sales Meeting! This year marks the 25th anniversary of Journeys. Through the years, Journeys has opened over 1,000 stores (52 of which are Shi by Journeys), launched successful catalogs and websites, branched out into social media, hired some GREAT people and...well, the list goes on!

District managers, store managers and office staff in attendance were given their very own TOMS and let loose to decorate them with stamps, pens + sharpies. A group (by random drawing) got the opportunity to have custom designs by a group of local Tennessee artists. Check out photos from the event below!

Our Favorites for Spring.

We love this cork heel from Mia. More natural colors go great with skintone and help your legs appear longer. Let's be honest, who wouldn't want that?


The Shi by Journeys Jilly heel is another one of our faves. The platform sole give you some extra support and the studs give this heel an edgy look.


I don't know about you, but I love handbags with an extra surprise inside. At first glance, this nautical-inspired jute crossbody is fairly basic (I do love the basics) but then you open the flap and you're met with a gorgeous spring flower pattern. Love!


A list of springtime favorites simply would not be complete without flip-flops. Like many of you ladies, I live in flip-flops when the weather gets warm. These Steve Madden thong slides are a little more grown-up than your average $2 pair you buy replacements for every year (don't lie, I do it too). Comfy and chic, they'll add a little more style to your spring wardrobe.


Ankle wraps are EVERYWHERE this season. We love them too. Pair the Girls Night sandal from Steve Madden with your favorite floral dress and instant Boho-chic!
