the wsa shoe show in vegas has been keeping we shuzladies busy. with the footwear trends for spring 2009 long set, we took the opp to see our friends in the biz, catch up on their doin's and make acquaintances with designers we'd yet met.

yesterday we played with the peeps at velvet angels ~ a newish shoe line, out of california, that mixes colors with sass in sky-high platforms and smart little flats. zippers are BIG for spring, and their zipper pull? a teensy tiny hand grenade with a sculpted rosette atop. pull carefully! they tell us you get a tee-shirt when you order shoes from their site and hot, fast shipping!



here's "us" outside of their party bus. you may have seen it at music fest coachella? stocked with adult beverages and snappy tunes, they roll in style. From left: Ulrike of germany's "textile wirtschaft," jeff of velvet angels, shuzsociety's frances, a velvet angel, and yours truly. thanks jeff for the tour!
