SHOES MUSING OF THE DAY

"Age shouldn't affect you. It's just like the size of your shoes - they don't determine how you live your life! You're either marvelous or you're boring, regardless of your age".

-- Steven Morrissey, English singer and songwriter (born 1959)

TUESDAY SHOESDAY: FREEDOM SHOES, Victoria, BC

So, my friend was telling me a couple weeks ago that I just had to check out Freedom Shoes in Victoria, as they had some fantastic shoes I just had to see.

Thank you, Lance! I'm very glad I did.
Freedom Shoes is located at 546 Yates St (just across - and up a little bit - from Lucky Bar).
Their specialty may be shoes (they are they only Asics Onitsuka dealer in Victoria) but they also have some really great clothes for both men and women. Most notably, really cute dresses for ladies, colourful apparel for men and some kick-ass denim, to name but a few.
Locally owned and operated, Freedom Shoes is definitely worth checking out next time you're in the Yates neighbourhood.

Support local businesses and look hot while doing it.

Floral print romper and pretty much the cutest hat ever. Love it!

Love those shoes - and that Bob Dylan tee!

SEEKING CONTRIBUTORS/SUBMISSIONS

So . . . I've been thinking lately how AWESOME it would be if the good people of Van Isle started sending in photographs of themselves and their friends (or whoever!)

So Hot Right Now is seeking contributors and/or submissions - and that could be as regularly or as infrequently as you would like.

That's one of the cool things about blogging . . . You do it when you feel like it or when you get around to it.

So come on now, don't be shy, start snappin' and send those photographs this way - sohotvanisle@gmail.com

(Photographs will of course be credited to the photographer who took them).
