One of the biggest trends that I have seen on the web is the availability of customization on practically everything. In the last Web Wednesday, for example, you could upload and send unique sets of postcards. Threadless encourages designers to upload unique images and the community votes on ones that are made into t-shirts. Zazzle lets you design mugs, shirts, whatever you want. It seems like almost everywhere you look, there is a chance to put your own spin on things.
For the shoe fanatics out there who swear by the comfort and worth of top designers like Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin – now you can really get a one-of-a-kind shoe made just for you…because YOU design it! With the Shoes of Prey customized shoe designer, you can chose the basic shape, embellishments, fabric and more of shoes made just for you. Take heed though, these puppies don’t come cheap. There is a price for customization and comfort: shoes cost $180 for ballet flats; $230 for 1½ to 3½ inch heels and $280 for 4 to 4½ inch heels.
Of course, if you’re going to already shell out $500 for a name brand, why not make it your own name brand? There is no longer the need to hunt for the perfect shoe that is missing from your closet. Just make it! Nervous that they won’t fit? Don’t worry, the site says you can return for a full refund or exchange the shoes.
These shoes definitely look made for walking. Curious – has anybody out there tried this, or will try to make their own? I’d love to hear your experiences!

This year was my first year at Macworld as a cutegeek blogger and of course Apple didn’t even have a booth…however that didn’t stop the masses to attend the show. When I first told my friends I was going I got the immediate question; “Why are you going since Apple won’t be there?” Another friend sarcastically said “What is MacWorld without Apple…just World?” I had no idea what to expect after all my pals banter…What was MacWorld without Apple? And where is Mr. Job’s?
I am quite the loyal gal; in fact it took me years to bow down to
