Princess Poochie is the blogging darling behind one of the most popular shoe themed blogs - Shoe Daydreams.

She's even been featured on Seventeen magazine's website as one of the Cool Blogs About Fashion and Style! Be sure to visit her delightfully girlie blog chock full of shoes and vintage inspiration. Meet Princess Poochie!
Name and City you reside:
Princess Poochie (or just Poochie), Designer Fashion Exile, NC
Favorite vintage piece:
I love all of my vintage pieces, especially my deadstock pristine heels, but if I had to pick a single piece it would be my grandmother's rhinestone strawberry pin.
Favorite vintage store, brick and mortar or online:
I've done pretty well on eBay because I can fit into vintage shoes well and I go to lots of antiques fairs but to pick an actual store, I would choose Circa Sixty Three. Great jewelry and shoes (don't steal my sizes!)
Favorite decade:
I love the early 1900s for gloves, the 1940s for hats and the 50s and 60s for the best heel shape in the world.
Vintage icon:
It would have to be Rosilyn Russel's character in His Gal Friday
Why do you love vintage:
The best thing about vintage is the quality of the work, the unique designs and the sense of class and fun. Nowadays everything (even designer work) can seem cheaply made as corners are cut to increase profits but in past decades people cared about their work. I like to wear modern basics but mix vintage pieces (especially accessories) to create a fun look that is just for me.

Yay for Poochie! She's got one of the most fun styles, and I love her penchant for mixing new & old. The picture of her standing in the red heels with the others lined up is lovely!
