For the Love of Shoes…

So, my father owns an amazing shoe store in Birmingham, AL which is located in an appropriately fabulous department store called Gus Mayer (www.gusmayer.com). I know that this blog is dedicated to All Things Atlanta, but Birmingham is a mere 2 hours away and that is closer than some Atlanta “suburbs.”

604 Brookwood Village | Birmingham, AL 35209 | 205.870.3300

I’m an ITP kind of girl myself, but my favorite shopping anywhere is at Gus. This is not bias. This is fact. The clothes are beyond, they carry all the cutting edge and classic makeup brands, hair products, handbags, jewelry, you name it. I could go on and on but this page has a point: SHOES. For history and the Q + D(D), witness: http://www.bhamwiki.com/w/Gus_Mayer or http://www.bizjournals.com/birmingham/stories/2002/01/21/story4.html

For a 60+ year old man from LA (that’s Lower Alabama) my dad definitely knows his stuff when it comes to keeping your tootsies in style.

BONUS: this year, my adorable Fashionista Seestah Katie joined forces with my pops and that little cutie features her favorite shoes from time to time which will generally be in the Recessionista price point range!

If you’re in Birmingham, you can pop into Gus (it is always my FIRST stop…) at Brookwood Village or, order via phone by calling Katie (or Richard, or Brenda, or Ellen or David) at 205 877 8554.

Here’s her current pick:
