We understand that there are many curious souls out there who may be just as fascinated with fashion as she is with design, glamour and style so we will let Miss Princess Dominique share 100 things about herself (besides the fact that she collects and compulsively hoards shoes) so that you can understand why she does what she does here on this website and what makes her tick tock.

1. I love words and especially adore the way they court and woo each other other before they decide to marry.

2. That’s why it’s only natural that I’m a poet–and a pretty potent one at that.

3. My favorite poet is Pablo Neruda.

4. I love to sit in the tall grass with the blades tickling my bare feet as I listen to the wind rustle tree leaves.

5. I have a diamond fetish. We’re talking VVS stones here.

6. I am an absolute shoe fiend, and I’m thinking you would never understand even if you subscribe to the blog.

7. I get totally smitten with the beach and the lull of the ocean, it relaxes me.

8. A glass of sweet red wine and a vintage aged white cheddar normally tops the moment off perfectly.

9. But it means nothing at all if I don’t have my husband to share it with.

10. I used to work at Dillard’s in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It was their shoe department of course and it was mainly for the discount and the heads up on summer and winter boot sales.

11. I believe that all trust fund babies should be forced to work retail for a least a full year before they inherit a dime.

12. I tremble a little bit when I see a vintage looking dress with princess seams that I really love.

13. I cried once when a shoe I was stalking sold out in size 8. It wasn’t pretty.

14. I really really dig high heels.

15. My ideal heel height is 5 inches.

16. I have so much fun pairing really expensive shoes with a truly inexpensive dress.

17. For example there are a great pair of $735 Louboutin’s that I’m eyeing that would go perfect with a striped cotton oversize Old Navy tank dress and pulled together with a jazzy belt.

18. I have a weird habit of planning events around cute outfits I want to buy.

19. I realize that’s just an excuse (a justification) to buy the outfit.

20. I just bought the cutest black dress from J.Crew and black platform Louboutin’s for a photo shoot.

21. I am addicted to Twitter.

22. I love turkey to an insane degree.

23. I crave turkey and cranberry sauce sandwiches with lots of mayo.

24. I believe every girl should have a dream shoe fund.

25. I love cheeseburgers.

26. My top preferences are Wendy’s and White Castle.

29. I believe wearing cheap shoes should be a crime.

30. I attended the Fashion Institute of Technology for a semester in 1989.

31. I took coursework in fashion design and jewelry design.

32. Some of my favorite designers are Versace, Givenchy, Roberto Rodriguez, Tara Jarmon, Nanette Lepore and Gucci.

33. I would love to collaborate with a designer on a shoe design.

34. When it comes to fashion I’m partial to anything in yellow, black, brown and taupe.

35. I never used to like pink because it seemed so girlish and forcefed.

36. But now pink has grown on me a bit. I have a few dresses and a couple of pairs of pink shoes now.

37. I think kissing is so romantic.

38. My husband and I vow to do it as often as we both can.

39. We can’t wait to renew our wedding vows.

40. You know that means I get to buy a fabulous dress and a spanking new pair of shoes!

41. I love cupcakes to an insane degree.

42. For me the taste of the actual cupcake is just as important as the icing.

43. I prefer lip gloss and lip tint to lipstick.

44. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, pedicures are mandatory.

45. I can’t understand people who only pamper their feet in the summertime.

46. Because of #37 I’ve always thought I had an oral fetish.

47. One of my two goals in life is to teach people how to dress well without going broke or chasing designers they can’t afford.

48. My other goal is to teach them how to love better.

49. One of my favorite memories is my husband sitting under a shady tree reading me poetry.

50. Another one of my favorite memories is us frolicking on the beach in November avoiding the waves–which didn’t work because I got wet from the crotch down.

51. I’m getting addicted to rings with really large stones–thanks Rachel Zoe.

52. I love carefree, loosely curled, movable hair. My hair must move.

53. I don’t understand sometimes when my hair needs to be washed, it looks better than it does when it’s clean.

54. I believe that a true woman not only knows how to dress well, but she can cook too.

55. I love taking photos and used to be a ham when I was younger–I’d like to think I’ve toned it down, but I know me.

56. I love to travel and can’t wait to visit some places where I can get some of my favorite authentic fashions ie. Italy!

57. St. Tropez, Anguilla, the Riviera, Barbados and other non-fashion stop tropical isles are on the top of my travel list too.

58. I love TheTruth.com commercials.

59. I love daring fashion, but when I asked what I should wear when I went to see Transformers 2 my son had the nerve to say that I should dress up as a Decepticon *dead*

60. Someone asked me once if a shoegasm was an authentic occurrence–they obviously don’t love shoes.

61. I’m not being crass, but there is a feeling that you get when you see truly beautiful shoes.

62. My first brush with fashion was a pair of navy blue crush velvet pants that I made in 7th grade sewing shop class.

63. In high school I bought my first pair of designer shoes–Ferragamo.

64. I went to high school on 33rd and Park Avenue in New York City so I was right smack in the middle of the fashion district.

65. When I was a teen I remember a neighbor debating with me that green and pink didn’t go together.

66. I also remember me resisting the urge to throttle her for telling me what I could wear.

67. To this day I still believe that fashion is an “individual” thing–I refuse to be a clone.

68. I still love paper dolls–they taught me a bunch about fashion and switching up styles.

69. I truly believe that people should wear and buy fashions that fit their body type and not because it looks pretty on a hanger, a mannequin or good in a magazine.

70. It took years for me to learn to not react like Pavlov’s dog to the word “SALE”.

71. Now I only watch certain items and wait for only “those” items to go on sale and then buy them.

72. I don’t understand people who go into the stores and buy things they don’t need all willy nilly and come home and still don’t have anything to wear to a special event if one should pop up.

73. I believe in building a wardrobe not just purchasing “stuff” just to say that you have a lot of designer clothes.

74. These Givenchy’s are one of my favorite pairs of shoes.

75. They remind me so much of Little House on the Prairie.

76. I love sundresses. My Mom used to make us dresses every summer. I miss that.

77. I currently have an application on file with Nordstrom.

78. A pair of fabu shades should top of any outfit, night or day.

79. My shades–always Gucci.

81. In all actuality I had a migraine.

82. I’m not really a bag, purse or tote person, but I’m become a huge fan of indie designer clutches.

83. If you’re an indie clutch designer contact me, send me one and I’ll feature it on the site and rock it around town and talk it up A LOT!

84. When it comes to fashion, food and my living surroundings, I am picky beyond belief.

85. My friendship circle is painfully small.

86. I still consider myself a newlywed.

87. I’ve known my husband for over 20+ years though.

88. We weren’t ready to be married all those years ago though.

89. I am currently trying to find a kick-butt seamstress to make me some one of a kind designs.

90. I’m toying with a vintage line–key word “toying with”.

91. The vintage line will probably feature one of a kind pieces.

92. Well, maybe I shouldn’t say one of a kind, maybe more like limited edition pieces.

93. I believe that couples don’t touch enough and there’s no excuse for that.

94. Love should make you want to stay familiar with your partner–touch is part of that.

95. I heard someone say recently that a bluetooth headset device “is not” an accessory and I thought that was the most humorous and truthful thing I’ve heard in a good long time!

96. I am an accessory minimalist.

97. I can’t stand the notion that people think that scantily clad equals sexy.

98. I love shoes and fashion, but wearing fabulosity and having your house forclosed/car reposessed a la Real Housewives of (pick a city) isn’t a good look.

99. There is just something special about a husband giving a foot massage.

100. Sex tapes are like tattoos, they’re so passé, if you want true lasting fame create a conversation piece shoe and I’ll blog about it!

101. My first signature fragrance was Coco Chanel.

102. Shoes are my Kryptonite.

103. In a Noreaster or blizzard I feel like I’m trapped inside a snowglobe.

104. I’ve always felt even at 16 that I was born too vintage for my time.

105. Giving away FREE SHOES makes me feel “almost” as good as buying them for myself.

106. I’m a generous person by nature. I give clothes and shoes to The Salvation Army every other year.

107. They are normally gently worn clothes and shoes and things you would still think are new.

108. I am a fashionable introvert.

109. An INFJ in fact.

110. I have 10 shoes on my MUST HAVE list and if I could own them I’d be really happy.
