S’mores to Adore: Jet-Puffed Shoe Line Has Fashionistas Salivating

The Jet-Puffed Marshmallow maestros, have decided that the natural progression from making fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth marshmallows is… making shoes. Yeah, Shoes. Now, before you start hyperventilating with excitement, let me just clear up a few things... These shoes are NOT for eating. I know, I know, it's a tough pill to swallow. Or not swallow, because again, shoes are not meant to be consumed. Sorry, doggies with a taste for leather, your dreams have been shattered.

So, what's the deal with these shoe monstrosities? Well, gather 'round because it's about to get weird.  According to Food and Wine, Jet-Puffed, in all their marshmallow wisdom, decided it was high time to expand their empire beyond the realm of marshmallow bags with S'mores shoes. Yes, Shoes that resemble s'mores. These aren't s'mores shaped shoes. These are puffy slip-ons that "embody the essence of a s'more."

Imagine you're strolling down the street, casually flaunting your footwear that's basically a marshmallow that got a tad too cozy with the campfire. The tops of these slip-ons are the color of graham crackers, because nothing screams "I've got a major case of the munchies like graham cracker-colored shoes. In addition, they've joined forces with a shoe company named Kizik, which sounds like the name of an alien species from a B-grade sci-fi movie. These shoes are listed on Kizik's site as "Toasted Marshmallow Mars Roamers.

They can be yours if you're ready to part with some hard-earned cash, you can snag a pair of these delightful delicacies for the small price of $119. That's right, just a mere $119 for shoes that tell the world, "I'm passionate about both foot fashion and sugar-based confections." But remember, no matter how convincing they may look, these shoes are NOT edible. So please, for the love of all things stylish and savory, keep them away from your taste buds. Trust me, they're sole-ly for fashion."

Barbie is number one at the box office and it seems as if the entire world is going pink in celebration. It's not just cocktails and décor, Barbie inspired fashion is trending in Florida. Internet searches for Barbie outfits have skyrocketed due to the movie. People are actually dressing in theme to attend the film and parties that correspond.

The experts at Boohoo say #barbieoutfits has surpassed 56.5 million on TikTok alone. On Pinterest, similar searches have increased by 614% worldwide over this same time last year. And as far as part of the country with the most interest in Barbie outfits, Florida is in the top ten. Illinois has the most searches followed by Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, Maryland, Mississippi, Delaware, New York, Florida and South Carolina. Funny how the Barbie search is so popular in southern states. I love these AI photos of a granny Barbie. She totally looks like a retired southern bell.

Like it or not, Barbie fashion has to have a splash of pink. It's a color that might not suit everyone. However, it can if you pick the right shade. Boohoo experts say if you have warmer or more golden undertones, opt for pinks with a yellow undertone. Think shades that are more coppers, rose golds, peachy-toned pinks and corals. These colors will better highlight your complexion.  If you have a cool or blueish undertone, try magentas, plummy pinks and fuchsias.  

Finally, here are a few more items that top the list of searches, and that are essential to Barbie's wardrobe. Barbie inspired fashion is trending in Florida and around the world. It's fun, flirty something to get you through the summer doldrums. Jump on the bandwagon with these tips and tricks.

Having a handbag in every color is so Barbie. However, it's not always practical. Our fashion experts advise these staples at the very least; one white, one black and or course, one pink bag. A statement bag is always good to have as well. One that has bling, hardware or a great pattern. Check these out!

Shoes can make or break an outfit. While high heels are a signature, they are not the only thing Barbie wears. There are some new trainers out with a Barbie theme. Consider buying ones with a platform to add height and elongate legs.  Strappy sandals are good with playful summer dresses, long flowy skirts and denim shorts with a pair of tie-up or slip-on sandals.

Cowboy boots and Western-style boots are everywhere this summer, so finding the perfect pair when there are so many options is challenging. If you want to style these boots for an event such as a festival or party, try solid colors or play with metallics to stand out, just like Barbie.

Don't play it safe here. Feathers are a great way to jazz up any outfit. You could style a feathery top with your favorite jeans or trousers. Or pair a feathery mini skirt with a minimal top if you are going to a fun concert. Ruffles are very in this season. Layered rah-rah skirts are perfect, or those with a bit of volume look great paired with a denim jacket or cowboy boots for a festival look.

No wardrobe is complete without a splash of denim. Whether in the form of a dress, dungarees, jeans or a skirt, denim is a fabric staple. If you want to branch out and cover all basis of the material, try dark denim in indigo or navy, which will add an editorial feel to an outfit. Do not be afraid to play with contrast denim and shades of denim that complement each other; double denim is fashionable when done correctly.
