Shoes online at the virtual shoe museum
All the shoes you’d ever want to see can be found at the virtual shoe museum. The website, by graphic designer Liza Snook, exhibits almost all the shoes that were ever designed. The site contains hundereds of shoes collected by Liza over the past 20 years. The museum dates back to 2004 when Liza started to exchange ideas with designers, publishers, photographers and other people connected to the shoe business. The result has been a vast collection of beautiful and extravagant shoes. The sites contains pictures of both real and virtual shoes and a vast amount of shoes that woul be virtually impossible to walk in.
So its probably for the better that none of the shoes are for sale…because we would probably try.

Women’s magazine 2.0
Everyone knows the very web 2.0 sites such as delicious, digg and stumbleupon. There are however also female versions of these bookmark sites. One of them is PrettySocial.com
The site started at the beginning of 2008 in New York City, but who the team behind it is unclear. The site describes itself as “a social news site for young women” and the stories on it focus on fashion, beauty, health and relationships. And sex. It is, in short, a lifestyle women’s magazine 2.0.
SOS by certainshops.com
Block off Saturday the 11th of October 2008 if you are thinking about a divorce. As on that day the United Kingdom’s first ever divorce fair called Starting Over Show will be held. The event, dubbed “All the things you need to know about breaking up and starting over in one Starting Over Show” is to be held at Brighton’s racecourse in East-Sussex.
At the SOS-fair couples and soon-to-be divorcees can obtain advice from lawyers, health experts, financial and business advisors. On a lighter note, visitors will be able to enjoy themselves in a chill-out room and see pole dancers.
The event is the brainchild of female internet hero Suzy Miller. As co-founder and director of certainshops.com, an online business that lists and recommends quality-checked professionals in legal, financial and creative industries, she was able to retain sufficient advisors for the event.
Multi-tasker Suzy is also author of bloggingforblondes.com, a humourous blog for non-techy women who want to know about web 2.0.
Net-a-Porter outNet?
According to a small news item in the Financial Times, Natalie Massanet, founder and CEO of Net-a-porter, is planning an outlet version of the chic clothing retail site. Such a spin-off would be a smart move by Massanet as, despite a sale at the much visited website, which seem to thrill fashionistas , the business suits and weekend outfits that net-a-porter has on offer have steep designer prices. The planned sale or - outlet site will should be up by the end of this year and will reportedly be named Outnet.
Designer Vintage: big new business
So they were a bit expensive and one size too small, but you bought them anyway, those Chanel heels. Now they sit in your cupboard, waiting to be worn. Sounds familiar? It did indeed to female internet heroes Annemarie van Gaal and Karin Barnhoorn and so they set up internet marketplace Designer-Vintage.com, a website allowing you to buy and sell vintage designer clothing. On the site you can search and offer vintage clothes, bags, accessories and shoes by size, colour, designer, and prize.
