ShoeDazzle, a one-of-a-kind online shoe shopping experience, started by Kim Kardashian and her business partners, Robert Shapiro and Brian Lee, announces the launch of its site today! ShoeDazzle.com taps into the expertise of Hollywood stylists who recommend shoes for customers every month based on each individual’s fashion personality as determined by the site’s “style sensibility questionnaire.” ShoeDazzle offers a highly-personalized shopping experience for women at the affordable price of $39 per pair, including shipping.
ShoeDazzle is opening its services exclusively to 5,000 charter members. Those wanting to join the “society” after the initial 5,000 members will be added to a waiting list and will be notified as soon as additional memberships become available.
Shapiro and Lee have a deep and broad understanding of what it takes to build a successful online business having founded LegalZoom.com together in 2001. They’ve taken their extensive web experience and fused it with Kardashian’s spot-on fashion sense to create a simplified and personalized shopping experience for every ShoeDazzle member.
“ShoeDazzle is the right business at the right time. Women love shoes and want to look great but they demand value. At ShoeDazzle, we cater to our members’ needs and desires by leveraging our talented team of fashion experts, led by Kim, to choose gorgeous shoes and to offer them at an incredible price” says Brian Lee, Founder, President and CEO of ShoeDazzle.
Becoming a ShoeDazzle Society Member is simple:
- Shoe lovers visit www.ShoeDazzle.com and take the “style-sensibility questionnaire”
- ShoeDazzle’s team of Hollywood stylists selects 5 shoe choices for each member based on the results of the questionnaire
- When the selections are ready, members log-in to view their shoes in their online “Showroom”
- Members may choose one of the suggested shoes to be sent directly to their doorstep or they can simply opt to skip the month free of charge
“I realize that not every woman has the opportunity to shop on Rodeo Drive or Madison Avenue, but I still think that every woman deserves A-list treatment” says Kim Kardashian, Co-Founder and Chief Fashion Stylist for ShoeDazzle. “That is why I partnered with some of the smartest men I know to develop a shopping forum that is not only convenient to use but that also offers styles I would wear myself.”

Yup, it was parked on the corner of 6th ave and 42nd st, right on the northwest corner of Bryant Park. I was like, that’s the ugliest jeep I’ve ever seen – probably driven by some idiot surfer chick who wants to stand out in February in New York City.
And then I got this in my email:
Lilly Pulitzer’s Jeep Wrangler Made a Splash This New York Fashion Week
To commemorate their 50th Anniversary, Lilly Pulitzer created a limited edition Jeep Wrangler in an iconic print (named “petal to the metal” of course!)
The Lilly team knows that Fashion Week means one word, schlepping! Lilly Pulitzer extended an invitation for one FULL day of complimentary, colorful rides for a select group of editors, stylists, and VIPs to shuffle between shows- after all, black cars are SO last season. Lilly treated them to a taste of sunny Palm Beach during a New York winter, and let the Lilly-clad chauffeurs do the driving (how could anyone refuse?)
Attached is a hi res image of the Lilly Pulitzer limited edition Jeep Wrangler. Let me know if you need more info.
They are available for purchase, for more info please go to http://www.lillypulitzer.com/page/promotions.
So for all y’all who might be thinking about buying one of these lovelies… (of course they don’t advertise the price on the page)…
Heh heh. Didn’t see any chauffer hanging about – and I sure as heck wasn’t invited to partake in the “complimentary, colorful rides” they are so boldly offering…but I would definitely have gotten off my high horse and been ferried around in one of those monstrosities if it meant me not having to drag all my bags and equipment for the second time in one day all the way cross-town. Sheesh!
And as a footnote, I love it when PR lackeys send off emails that would by torn to shreds by any 5th-grade grammar teacher. Learn how to use capitalization, commas, hyphens, and colons, people!!
Actually, check that…it was a “PR Executive.” Shame!

I gotta say, these look scary, painful, and a good way to tell everyone around you “hell no!” without saying a word. They also strangely remind me of that Far Side cartoon which was entitled Nature’s Way of Saying Don’t Touch.
I am also funnily drawn to them and think what a great idea. (This is actually my Studsandspikes.com-addicted side talking.) See more of the collection at www.ellie-owen.com.

It is indeed a great, great day that I see a glimpse of myself in the background – well, in this case, foreground – in a photo of one of my all-time fave blogs. I did not even know the dudes from Project Rungay were there at Leanne Marshall‘s show during fashion week at the same time I was – and yet there I am in one of their photos, interviewing Leanne. WOW. (Check out their post re: Leanne’s show here.)
Oh, and TONS of Fashion Week coverage to come, chickadees – just getting all my stuff together, so prepare to be hit by a deluge (or two) over the coming week.
