Review: Aldo Shoes


                        


The Aldo Group (corporately styled "ALDO") is a private Canadian corporation that owns and operates a worldwide chain of shoe and accessory stores. The company was founded by Aldo Bensadoun in MontrealQuebec, in 1972, where its corporate headquarters remain today. It has grown to become a worldwide corporation, with nearly 1,600 stores under four retail banners: Aldo, Call It Spring/Spring, Little Burgundy and Globo. Stores in Canada, the US, the UK, and Ireland are owned by the Group, while international stores are franchised. The company once operated the now closed or re-branded banners Simard & Voyer, Christian Shoes, Access, Pegabo, Transit, Stoneridge, Locale, Feetfirst and FIRST (which was the American version of Feetfirst). On March 13, 2012, the Aldo Group signed on with Madonna to produce the Truth or Dare by Madonna fashion line. This footwear was launched in August 2012, at Macy'sNordstrom, Selfridges, ASOS.com, The Bay, Little Burgundy and Capezio.(Adapted from Wikipedia)

I personally own about 10 pairs and the collection is still growing. Aldo is not only evolving with the times but also their prices are not to steep either. 

If you going for seasonal fashion and your budget doesn't meet Aldo's prices then I suggest you shop somewhere more affordable but if you going for something that is timeless then Aldo is definitely the store for you. 

Their customer service is impeccable and their employees make it an effort to get to know you and your style.

Child Stars Role Models or Not?

This topic has been spoken about freely for years. 

Childhood celebrities who we all admired when we were young, some may not have taken a turn for the worse but what about the ones who have?  

               
              From sweet, innocent to smoking weed
                 and popping ecstasy and twerking. 

            
                          
              From having her own television show 
               named after her to been arrested 
                     for DUI and drugs 

   
            
            From playing twins in Parents trap to a  
                 leading Role in Mean Girls to 
                been anorexic and a drug addict

            
              
                  Destined to be a pop star 
            to marrying her back up dancer, having 
             3 kids and having a break down and 
                  been diagnosed "Bipolar" 








What has the entertainment industry done to them? This is all overwhelming when they are spoken about and mocked and followed, don't get me wrong, many of the ones who lost the plot turn their lives around and continue doing what they do best. 

Some doesn't go astray but what about the ones our kids admire today? e.g Miley Cyrus? Hannah Montana still plays on Disney Channel even though she hung up that towel a while ago? she's got tweens wanting to be just like her and she's going around stating that she likes weed and ecstasy. 

So we shouldn't really be judging but if you want to be in the spot light I'm sure there's ways in keeping your personal life out of the news. e.g don't advertise that you that drugs, don't be caught doing drugs. 

One day when I have children of my own i am really going to choose wisely about what they can watch and what they cant.

Till next time...
