OK!: What are you most excited for readers to take away from your new OK! shoe blog?
Evelyn Lozada: I've always loved fashion in general, but my millions of fans (who I also call my friends) know me for my "Shoe Game" and the fact that I'm addicted to shoes. With this blog, I want to help the readers of OK! identify the latest designers, hottest trends, and best techniques to keep them looking fabulous by the foot!
OK!: How would you describe your shoe style?
EL: Anything with a 4-6 inch heel! This would include platforms too! I also love flats, however, they need to be embellished with some type of jewel or hardware.
OK!: Who are some of your favorite shoe designers?
EL: On the high end, my favorite shoe designer is Giuseppe Zanotti. I guess anyone can tell, because I've been on an Instagram craze with a few of his designs! On the more affordable end, my favorite is Steve Madden…there's just something about that man and his shoes.

OK!: How do you pack your shoes when traveling?
EL: I put my shoes in the bags that they come in and some I take in my carry on depending on the value.
OK!: What's your go-to shoe type?
EL: Something FUNKY! I don't have one basic shoe in my closet. If I'm out, I want my shoes to POP…I want people staring at my feet…giving all the attention to my shoes. LOL
OK!: What's your #1 shoe shopping tip?
EL: Personally for me, price doesn't mean anything. If it's cute and it fits, I will buy it, even if it's a $7 pair of leggings. You can always mix and match something expensive with a less expensive item.

OK!: What's one shoe trend you're loving right now? Which do you hate?
EL: The wedge sneaker—it's so cool and girly! The one I hate is the KITTEN HEEL—I will always loathe the kitten heel. I just can't.
OK!: What's your rule of thumb when it comes to accessories?
EL: When it comes to accessories, don't over do it! Accessories are the glue that holds any outfit together and if you do too much, you will kill an outfit. I cringe when I see someone with too much going on. If I'm wearing embellished earrings, I usually don't add a necklace. When it comes to my bags and shoes, I normally go with what matches. Keep in mind, I'm a New Yorker and sometimes I will just wear my hoop earrings. Keeping it simple is a plus—try not to become a fashion violation. Yikes!
