If you read my post on Super Tuesday below, it was raining cats and dogs…. well it hasn’t stopped since. We had a mighty thunder/lighting storm last night and buckets of rain. Correction, it has stopped raining…. it’s now snowing. I’m ok with the snow. I live in New England and if you live in this part of the US, you sort of sign up for long cold winters. That’s why it’s important to have a fireplace, plenty of wood and a good stock of vino:)

I’ll get a reprieve from the wintery weather as I’m leaving for the desert on Sunday…. that’s right, LAS VEGAS! where the streets are paved with gold (or something like that.) Don’t be jealous just yet…. yes, Las Vegas can be fun if you go for a few days and have nothing to do but gamble, see the sights and eat but I go to Las Vegas for work every February and every July/August for the Project Show and the World Shoe Show. I will be in Vegas for 15 days…. which is sort of a prison sentence.

The World Shoe Show!! For all you lover of shoes…. this is “THE SHOW” not only do they have all your favorite brands, they have shoes that won’t be coming out until this fall 08 and Spring 09…. so stuff that hasn’t been seen yet. To top it off, the trade show booths get more and more interesting each year. Last show at the end of July/August, I took a walk around the show as I usually do and bumped into an old favorite that I had almost forgotten about. SUPERGA. There is no shoe more Italian and that has lasted over the years as SUPERGA. What should you expect from an Italian company at the World Shoe Show? Creativity of course! and SUPERGA didn’t disappoint. They got my vote for most creative booth. Check out the picture of the SUPERGA booth below. Each shoe is tied onto a miniature Fiat 500 with it’s laces. Pretty cool. I guess they’re making a push here in the US and I am all for it!
So speaking of Italian shoes, what’s your favorite Italian shoe brand??
