Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

The site will still be viewable but certain elements might display incorrectly. In order to enjoy all the features of our site, we recommended you upgrade to a newer, more secure browser, such as or .

shoes brandstown resihabitationt unstoppereds sjumping colloid,Summer Allen sits in her newly opened shop, Valentine Footwear on Main Street in Bangor, on Wednesday, Sept. 14. Allen is a second generation shoe retailer. Her ther owns Winterport Boot in Brewer.

Valentine Footwear on Main Street in Bangor carries over two dozen brands of beautiful shoes, boots, hosiery, shoe care and foot care products.

Summer Allen has justed opened Valentine Footwear on Main Street in Bangor and carries over two dozen brands of beautiful shoes, boots, hosiery, shoe care and foot care products.Buy PhotoBANGOR, Maine The areas newest shoe store has the perfect footprint. Its a prime location for those passing by on their way to lunch, dinner or the theater in downtownBangor to stop and see what Summer Allen has to offer a womens boutique filled with boots, classic pumps, clogs, lace-ups and leather flats.

The white letters of Valentine Footwear are now printed on the storefront of 115 Main St. in Bangor, a former storage space that Allen, a second-generation shoe retailer, opened in early September.

I grew up in a shoe store mily, said Allen, 30, of Bangor. Its what we talked about around the dinner table.

Allens mily has owned Winterport Boot Shop since 1974, and her first job was as a runner in the back room of the shop, hurrying among towers of hunting, hiking and work boots to find sizes for busy employees to bring to customers.

By the time she entered high school, she was ready to leave the footwear world behind, but as she studied environmental policy in college, she began truly appreciating her milys business.

I was working in that field [environmental policy], and I was laid off, said Allen. Once that happened, starting my own business wasnt such a risk. I had nothing to lose.

Allen seeks out footwear brands and styles that fit her vision of the ideal Maine shoe. With harsh winters and varied terrain, quality footwear is crucial. In addition, she wants to put to rest the idea that what is beautiful cant be practical. Shoppers wont find stilettos or running shoes but they will find everything in between.

I look for shoes that people will find fun and new but not shocking, said Allen. I want them to say, Oh, Ive never thought of wearing a shoe like that. And I try to find shoe styles that are really comfortable, because Ive seen a lot of heinous foot problems in my life.

The shops ll footwear, a selection of dozens of brands, has a price range of $69-$250.

I feel that Bangor people are looking for something versatile. They arent going to spend a lot of money on a pair of shoes that only go with one thing,Comments (RSS). said Allen. They want a deep brown leather boot that they can dress up and dress down and will go with half their wardrobe.

Whats really hot so r in the shop are the Westerns [cowgirl boots], which you can buy at any number of shops, but these are high quality, with a leather sole and wooden peg, Allen said as ran her hand over the detailed stitching of a red-and-black pair of Tony Lama boots.

If Western isnt your style, Allen has packer boots, harness boots and a growing collection of winter boots, styles of top brands such as Sorrell, Double-H and Keen.

Some brands may sound miliar, such as BOGS, Clarks, Birkenstock and Merrell, but she also carries new brands to this region such as the Portugal Arcopedico, which sells vegan-friendly, lightweight boots that are perfect for traveling.

Racks of colorful, practical, patterned and textured tights and socks are scattered among rows of footwear, lined up on custom pine tables constructed by a local carpenter. Coat racks hold screen-printed handbags while antique-style dressers display Maine-made soaps, leather treatment, leg warmers, headbands and greeting cards.

Theres something fun in trying on shoes and being in a shop, she said. Thats why I have a big mirror and a big comfy couch.

She wants shoppers to experience the traditional sit and fit, and near the couch is a Brannock Device, or traditional measuring instrument her mily used to fit shoes in Winterport Boot.

Im definitely listening to what people want, as long as it fits wshoes brandsith the vision of the shop, she said.

To stay up to date about the newest shions and brands, Allen attends Boston Shoe Travelers Association trade shows and plans to visit additional larger shows in Las Vegas and New York.

From the sales counter constructed by her uncle to the custom wall hangers (made of door stops and boards) creatively pieced together by her mother, each aspect of the sunlit shop reminds her of the support she has received from her mily.

The flowers on her counter speak of another type of support. On opening day, business owners in Bangor loaded her counter with bouquets, including an elaborate flower arrangement by Sweetest Thing on Columbia Street. Bangor Wine & Cheese on Hammond Street welcomed her with a bottle of wine and Court Street Market brought her sandwiches.

This location downtown is kind of wanting for random foot traffic, said Summer, though shes hoping that the shoppers will wander rther with the recently opened Zen restaurant across the street and thePenobscot Theater providing events next door.

Shes not too r from the hub of downtown shops, and after all, her shoes are made for walking.

Valentine Footwear is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday. Store hours will lengthen for the holiday season. For information, visit call 907-2128 or email hello@valentinefootwear.com.

shoes brandsSize 13 footgears: How Walktevery UK studys to Zar

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

You are here:Home /Wide Fit Shoes /large shoes / Size 13 shoes: How Walktall UK compares to Zalando UK

shoes brandsSize 13 footgears: How Walktevery UK studys to Zar,Zalando is a German based shoe retailer who recently entered the UK market with an extensive range of shoes and other merchandise. With an ambitious vision,comfortableGet an bounds humoristh a wbounds. it was set to go head to head with Walktall who are the original UK large size shoe retailer and direct competition.

Since both retailers cater extensively to the large size shoe market, we&8217;ve done a direct comparison of their size 13 shoes to see who wins out in the choice of selection and style.

Perhaps one of the best things about websites such as Zalando ( the sheer extent of range offered. Going into any high street retailer to search for size 13 shoes will present a very meagre selection. However, one click into both the Zalando and Walktall websites shows a very different situation with Walktall offering 143 items, and Zalando having a giant 374 products to choose from! Round one without a doubt goes to Zalando with a range over double the size in size 13 shoes.

Selection of shoes from Zalando (

In terms of the selection of style offered, Walktall cover everything from flip-flops to work boots, and everything in between. With a list of 35 different brands on their website, they certainly offer a lot of choice. However Zalando creep in with 43 brands to select from, including premium brands such as Frye and Lyle & Scott giving their range just that bit more exclusivity.

Both sites are a haven for those with larger feet, and certainly anyone which can offer hundreds of size 13 shoes will clearly have an incredibly vast selection so Walktall is by no means to be discounted. Both websites are without a doubt work checking out, but with the range which Zalando offers becoming more and more extensive, is it going to take over as the footwear king?

What are your experiences with both sites? Do you still have trouble finding larger sized footwear which you find shionable as well as functional?

Plus Size Workout with The Curvy Goddess: I actually loved Crystal Renn as a plus size model. Now that she has lost…

Plus Size Workout with The Curvy Goddess: I love the word &8220;Curvy&8221; because there are so many positive…

Zuzu: I completely agree with you rebekka I&8217;ve just dropped to a size16, she is definitley more 18-20 like u…

rebekka: and another thing; if she really is as confident as she claims, than why would she lie about her size?

shoes brandsThe elegant chronicle

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

The luxury sector isnt just about champagne and roses. In this niche, slowly growing market, difficult customers, mundane administrative work and dealing with kes take up most of the workday

shoes brandsThe elegant chronicle,Wearing the latest Ferragamo shoes, sporting a Tag Heuer watch or accessorizing with a Hermes tie on a regular workday are just some of the perks of working in the luxury goods business. Three professionals tell us that glamour and growth notwithstanding, selling luxury goods is like being in any other retail business, with its share of stocktaking and other mundane stuff.

Every month, we explore a profession through the lives of three executives at different stages in their careers. Tell us which profession you want to know more about at businessoflife@livemint.com.

Manishi Sanwal, 36

General manager (Indian subcontinent), Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, watches and jewellery division, New Delhi

Behind the glamour: Sanwal says its important to be effective in extremely diverse circumstances. Photo by Priyanka Parashar/Mint.

Manishi Sanwal joined the luxury goods business quite by chance. I was looking after supply chain consulting at Arthur Andersen when I got an opportunity to join Swatch as sales manager in 2000, says the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, graduate. After handling sales in Swatch, brand management for Tag Heuer watches at Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH) in 2003 was a logical progression. Today, after eight years at Tag Heuer, of which two years (from 2006) were spent with Tag Heuer China, Sanwal handles the watch and jewellery business, worth Rs 100 crore, for the LVMH group for India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Maldives.

Daily duty: Negotiating endorsement deals with Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan or sorting out details of Tag Heuers support for the F1 Indian Grand Prix starting 28 October might be the more public aspects of Sanwals job, but as head honcho at LVMH watches, its the operational aspects of the jobreviewing inventory, supplies or financewhich actually occupy most of his workday. I start the day by clearing emails, many of which come in late the night before from the headquarters in Neuchatel, Switzerland, says Sanwal, who is in the habit of clearing his inbox while he travels to office.

For the first half of the day, he is occupied with meetingswith the head of marketing (to discuss upcoming campaigns or events), or with the head of finance (figuring out receivables from distributors or payment details), or handling issues of after-sales service (for instance, a watch in Bhopal that needs urgent replacement/repair), or personal calls to a dealer whose payment is stuck. After 2pm, I try to go out into the market to meet our dealers or plan meetings to explore potential business leads, he says.

He travels 10-12 days a month, mostly to other metros, since Tag Heuer is distributed across 80 outlets in 27 cities in India. Sanwal also has to travel to Singapore and Hong Kong and to the Tag Heuer headquarters to meet the global team leaders.

To survive in the luxury sector you need: The ability to be comfortable and effective in extremely diverse circumstances, says Sanwal. One moment you may be discussing credit terms with a dealer in Hindi peppered with extremely colourful language, and later the same morning you may have to make a presentation of a media plan to a Swiss director. Or perhaps attend a press conference with Shah Rukh Khan.

The biggest challenge: The luxury market in India operates at two levels. There is a Mumbai-Delhi level that understands Formula 1, sportiness, the avant-garde spirit. In my advertisements to them I would feature the Tag Heuer chronograph costing Rs 2.4 lakh. Then there is a Ludhiana and Indore where a watch is bought as a great wedding gift for a son-in-law. Their adverts would feature the Rs 78,000 range, more traditional-looking watches. The challenge is to keep the pressure on both markets.

What I love about my job: The amazing amount of agility this job demands of me. Right now the scale here is not so great, so you can anticipate trends and respond to them quickly,richnesshealthy unplanned footgearscasual comfo. he adds.

The Indian luxury customer: Always wants the best deal. And will bargain for it. I once saw a young 14-year-old boy haggling with the dealer for a Rs 12 lakh watch. He said, Uncle my budget is Rs 11 lakh, my ther will not give me more! I get calls from customers all the time. I even had a customer threaten me with his political connections. He said he will not allow Tag Heuer to enter his stateall this for an accidentally damaged watch.

One thing I would change: The misconception that the life of a luxury manager is full of glamour. Most of my time is spent in operational issues, not negotiating deals with stars.

What I look for when I am recruiting: People with the ability to be comfortable in diverse settings: Some dealers may be one-man shows like in Guwahati, or you may have Titan running the show. You have to be able to deal with both.

Money matters:Rs 80 lakh to Rs 1.25 crore per annum.

Majida Ukani, 28

Brand manager, Tarz Distribution India Pvt. Ltd, Coty Prestige group of fragrances, Mumbai

Fragrant days: Ukani loves the ct that theres always something new to do. Photo by Abhijit Bhatlekar/Mint.

A postgraduate degree in shion management from the National Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi, in 2006, helped Majida Ukani land an internship, and later a job, at the Shoppers Stop chain as a merchandiser. I always liked shion and the business of brands, so it was logical to want to work in them, says Ukani. After four years at Shoppers Stop, Ukani spent a year at GUESS in 2010 as a brand manager before she joined Tarz, a venture of the Dubai-based Chalhoub Group, this January. Tarz distributes premium fragrances from Dior, Givenchy, Coty Prestige, etc., across four-five retail chains like Shoppers Stop and Pantaloons, in 150 outlets throughout India.

Daily duty: As the brand manager for the Coty Prestige group, Ukani handles fragrances like Davidoff, Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole and Marc Jacobs. It is her job to liaise with the sales team at Tarz, as well as the Coty Prestige team at the Coty Prestige regional headquarters (Asia-Pacific) in Singapore.

Much of Ukanis day goes in analysing sales figures and managing supplies. In addition, since the fragrances are distributed through four-five retail chains, it is her job to liaise with the people at these retail chains. I have to maintain relations to make sure we get a good space, and the right fixtures for our stalls in these outlets, says Ukani. She travels out of Mumbai around two-three times a month, mostly to outlets in Delhi or Bangalore.

To survive in the luxury sector you need: People skills. You need to have analytical skills too. Everything depends on revenue and what you deliver at the end of the day. Financial acumen to look at the numbers and figure whats going wrong in a particular counter, why the sales are not moving or going down, she says.

The biggest challenge: The price competition from outlets where smuggled perfume is available. In fragrances you have stuff coming in from everywhere. Its hard to do anything about such outlets.

What I love about my job: Every day is new. I am still not bored. Suddenly Coty will say we want to spend Rs 4 crore on promotion, figure out something. Also, this is a growing market. There are different challenges every day, such as finding new ways to achieve sales targets or a new product launch. Also, all employees get a 35% discount on all fragrances. Besides we have perfume testers in the office.

One thing I would change: I would like flexible timings, being able to work at your own pace and at your own hours.

Career progression: The sky is the limit. Luxury is a niche market and there are very few people with relevant experience. It is a sector with a lot of promise. But it is also growing slowly and is a market which will take off after 10 years. How many people choose to stay back is the question. A formal qualification always helps, at least an MBA.

Money matters: Around Rs 14 lakh per annum

Clive Santamaria, 31

Assistant manager, Salvatore Ferragamo, Mumbai region, Mumbai

Perks of the job: Santamaria gets a special discount on all Ferragamo products.Photo by Abhijit Bhatlekar/Mint.

Juggling cocktail glasses as the bartender at Mumbais JW Marriott hotel has probably been the most colourful part of Clive Santamarias career. However, this hotel management associate-turned-luxury manager prefers his current line of business to his bartending days. Santamaria, dressed in a Ferragamo suit and shoes and sporting an Omega watch, looks every inch the part of a luxury store manager at the Ferragamo store at Mumbais Grand Hyatt hotel. After a diploma in hotel management from SNDT, Churchgate, of Mumbai University, Santamaria worked first at JW Marriott and then at Grand Hyatt Mumbai, in food and beverages and as a bartender. In 2005, he joined LVMH as a store salesman at their Taj Mahal hotel store in Mumbai. He moved last year to his present responsibility at Salvatore Ferragamo, where he manages the sales of two storesone at the Trident hotel and the other at the Grand Hyatt.

Daily duty: Santamaria divides his time between the brands two stores in Mumbai. He begins the day at 10.30am with a morning briefing with the staff (each store has four people) at whichever outlet he is. We discuss the previous days issues, any problems or customer complaints there might have been and plan for the day ahead.

The stores open at 11am, and Santamaria spends most of the day attending to customers. I have many customers who drop in to the store, often just to chat and for chai (tea), he says. Then there are celebrity customers. Some, like Bollywood director Karan Johar, do their own shopping, others like actor Shah Rukh Khan may be buyers, but infrequent visitors to the shop, he says. Besides customer service, there is the administrative stuffthe routine sales reports to file, the cash and receipts to be managed. Some days there might be product training for the team. Santamaria winds up by 8pm, when the store closes.

To survive in the luxury sector you need: To be very well-spoken and humble.

The biggest challenge: Mumbai still doesnt have the retail space for luxury brands. In Delhi there is more of a consciousness of brands. With the opening of Shangri-La (at Phoenix Mall, Mumbai) in 2012, there should be a huge opening up of the luxury brand market in Mumbai.

What I love about my job: Interacting with customers. I have a hotelier who comes in to have chai with me. We discuss all sorts of things. Theres an old lady who used to be a ballet dancer. She buys a lot of shoes from me. I love meeting people with such quirky backgrounds. You learn a lot from them. Santamaria also gets a special discount on all Ferragamo products, as well as a clothing allowance.

The Indian luxury customer: Loves to be pampered. Also they demand a high level of service. Ive noticed in designer stores in the West, salespeople are snooty if you walk in shabbily dressed. But in India you have to give great service to any walk-ins. A man may be in chappals, but he may be a minister or a rich businessman, and is a customer. Also, clients dont like to be kept waiting, he says.

One thing I would change: Nothing. As a hotelier you have no life. You are working when everybody else is partying. In retail it may be stressful but I am happy. I like it.

What I look for when I am recruiting: Some kind of shion background. If not shion, then a background in hospitality and some knowledge of retailing. Also, he says, a lot of people think working in the luxury sector is all about glamour. So I advise people to intern before they decide to join. As a sales associate, you have to pick up each and every carton and count every shoe. Even if one shoe goes missing, it can mean a loss of Rs 30,000 to the company.

Money matters: Rs 8-18 lakh per annum.

dress shoesHow to wfruit combustd pantss – Lifeinfectionle -

Sunday, September 18th, 2011

1.The hem must skim the ground The biggest (and most common) mistake with this look is wearing jeans that are too short. The hedress shoesm should skim the ground, so make sure when you go shopping you take a pair of shoes with you. This way you can work out exactly the right length for your height. 2. High heels are essential Bell-bottoms and kick-flares need to be worn with high heels. They just do. The silhouette looks best with height and it allows them to hang correctly. Platform and wedge styles work best with this look. Stilettosnot so much and please casual shoes, no sneakers. Ever. 3. Choose your look Remember this is not a dress-up party and its important to keep the look modern. Theres nothing wrong with a nod to the 70s but make it contemporary with your styling. Try teaming your jeans with tops that are tucked into the waist a T-shirt, a silk blouse, a v-neck sweater – then layer it up with a blazer that cuts just on the top of the hip bone. Or try a longer line blouse or tunic top that lls to mid-thigh and then team with a knee-length coat or short, cropped jacket. 4. Body shape matters Unless you have super long, lean legs steer clear of proper, all-out bell-bottom styles. Instead try jeans that are skinny through the thigh with a flare that starts just at the top of the calf. Most cuts have a high waist but if you have curvy hips opt for a style that sits below the belly button, this will help balance the leg out.

Pixies very pretty but why must she always wear such dorky shoes? Im not saying she has to wear shion-victim heels like the women in the bottom picture but surely she can find some nicer ones than those…she looks like shes wearing her dads shoes!!!- Gethin, Cardiff, Wales, 17/9/2011 20:29Shes wearing brogues which are very shionable/trendy at the moment – not dorky in the slightest! I think they look great with that dress!

– Kirsty, Glasgow, Scotland, 18/9/2011 01:44

Shes lost a lot of weight. She still looks very healthy but I think she looked better before, her figure really emphasised her dancing background.

collar would look so much better sewn on but otherwise cute outfit

– Emily, Ireland, 18/9/2011 00:38
