here are the fit flops alexis hates so much.
i cannot say i disagree with her. the white on white do look rather orthopedic in nature (shoes for people with issues!) but i like the black sequins ones…
thoughts?
and i am obsessed with these earrings by kimberly mcdonald
saw a pair very similar to these at bergdorf goodman in nyc. although they are too expensive for me to buy ($9000!) i may be able to borrow them to wear during one of our whatever, martha! shoot days.
later or tomorrow i will post a schedule of what shows are airing during the our marathon monday may 25, 2009 on sirius 112/ xm 157 (marathon is 24 hrs starting 7am est!)

hoping you are feeling less blue – life is a process, no?
like the earrings, but they look heavy – very glam, tho
Have had plantar fasciitis for three months. Desperate to try anything for relief from the pain, I bought fitflops and when I wear them I have NO pain. And, I tried everything from icing, taping, massage, exercise, stretching, orthotics, etc. Heard Lynn Samuels talking about them a long time ago. And, they are not as ugly as some shoes out there.
love those earrings so much i have asked my husband for them for my 25th birthday present ( his mother and sister are throwing me a party) so all he has to do is show up with me…..as for the shoes so very wrong and ugly, but instead of adding to the landfill how about a donation to some clothing drive for women or teens? hey your ugly shoes your choice.
I bought the Fitflops last year in bronze and patent black. Love how comfortable they are and honestly after wearing then for a few hours, you CAN really feel it in your legs. I hardley wear them now , however, because my husband says they are hideous also.
Finally I agree with Alexis on something..lol..those are the most butt ugly pieces of crap I have ever seen.The earrings look kind of cool,I would really need to see them in person.Take the shoes and burn them. When are we going to see any new “Whatever Martha” episodes?I like you girls but I now have the shows memorized.
love the shoes…plan on wearing them to the buffet saturday afternoon!
I love flip flops and I would wear these (I guess that says something about me according to Alexis), wouldn’t even give it a second thought!
any chance of a marathon coming up on fln?
the earrings do look v. heavy. but the rust color would look pretty with your hair.
sorry, the fitflops are fugly…with or without sequins. check out cole haan nike air sandals if you must have something athletic. otherwise jcrew has really cute flat flip flops that look great with everything.
Still better than the look of Crocs.
I am not a fan of Flip Flops. But if they are what you like, the by all means, wear them. The earrings are HUGE! I bet you can go to canal street and find a knock off pair.lol. I am going to miss the live shows. Have a safe weekend!!!
Hi – While the fitflops are a little boat-like – I still love them. My sister bought me a pair a few weeks ago and I have worn them almost every day since. I have the black sequin ones.
Love the earrings but not the flops. Love the colors in the earrings and they would would great with a sleeveless long black dress for the summer.
go with shoes-forget the earrings much too big for you….
Flip flops of any kind are bad for your feet, and Fit Flops aren’t any “healthier” or better than Havaianas or other flip flops. It’s all a scam. They’re just a cheap version of the MBT (Maasai Barefoot Technology) sandals that are even uglier but do help relieve back tension and improve posture. Humans were not made to walk with a thong between their toes–it throws off balance and is really bad for the spine. Get a pair of Birkenstocks.
Just say no… too ugly flip-flops. Sorry!
Agree w/ Alexis
the earrings are amazing!!! the fit flops are ridiculous. ugly and definitely not enough benefit to make it worth while to be seen in them…even by people around your own home!
i wanna try those shoes. i wear flips if it’s above 60 degrees basically, otherwise it’s uggs and crocs – so yeah, i guess i’m into “ugly shoes”. i don’t care – my tootsies are Always comfortable now – what else matters, honestly????
those are a lot cuter than alexis made them sound btw.
pretty earrings, but i’m so conscious of the weight of them b/c i dont want to have the hideous old lady earlobe sag thing happening.
Geesh, they aren’t horrible. You are a mom, not a hooker. Are you supposed to wear heels or what? What would be considered satisfactory? I wear Birk’s. Does that make me un-hip?
Plantars fascitis takes a very long time to heal. Take an empty bottle of juice in a quart size and freeze the whole thing with water in it. Roll it under each foot for twenty minutes at a time, each foot. Before stepping out of bed in the morning stretch. Really get a stretch in the foot. This is not for Jennifer, but someone else who has PF. It ain’t fun.
i was major shoe whore!!!!!!!!!!!!lol. hundreds of pairs!!!!!!! all i wear are crocs or sandals. bad feet. ima diabettic. all other shoes give my feet sores!!!!!!!!!!! jen im down ttoo.sun hheelps, showers,keeping busy.itts what roe says. i try to do it alll,miss my lil baby girl!!!!!!! molly. my poodle.8 months ofher not sittting on daddys lap
You ask for thoughts on the Fit FLops. WHO CARES what someone else thinks about them! Do YOU like them, are they comfortable and do you feel good wearing them. That’s all that matters! Why be even remothely concerned about what Ms. A thinks? Geez.
The earrings are just beyond…. love them.
The flip flops however, are offensive to the eye. I am convinced that if they were still called THONGS, like they were when I was a kid… no one would wear them.
Maybe that’s “all that matters” in a world where we all dress like slobs, embracing mom jeans and t-shirts (aka “The South”), but in a civilized, cultured society, you should care about your appearance. The sandals are horrendous, and Jennifer should not wear them (nor those earrings).
Re: @Cath, I have seen plenty of slobs all over the US. “The South” does not have a monopoly on being badly dressed.
who says everyone has to dress the same? I believe whatever one likes they should wear. @Cath should lighten up. I take offense at the south jab. There is nothing wrong with the flip-flops if that is what Jennifer likes
Jen, don’t like the earings a bit too much! but I do lke the flip flops they look really comfy. Forget Alexis and wear them if you feel like it.
do the fitflops give your legs a workout? i would wear ’em – i love shoes – ugly, beautiful, whatever. i do not like the earrings. simple is best on earlobes (and anywhere else ppl are pierced).
wanted the earrings for my birthday but instead my loving husband gave me a 2009 audi suv(what a honey)so when my girlfriends and my gays do our annual sept new york shopping-see a play trip my goal is those earrings or a pair that is similar. thanks for all the great shows radio-tv you really have no idea how much my friends and I let people know what they are missing by not listening-watching
I have foot problems and they do make Flip Flops for folks like us. Of course they do cost more but what is new when your trying to do something good for yourself.
Jen, be sure to wear your hair back so we can see the stones!!!!
Have a great day back in studio
I have a pair of fitflops. Mine are white with a red and white strap. I love mine. I would love to have a black pair.
I know you are a Mom, but they look like “Mom” flip flops. Yuk! You have more style than that. Earrings are great!
those are way way too large..
Beautiful earings, hideous shoes. The thick straps make them look like old lady shoes. I would only wear these if I had foot problems and these were the only pair in the universe that did not hurt my feet.
Since I put FitFlops on my feet for the first time, I actually prefer wearing them to going barefoot. Not only do they give your legs a workout (I absolutely can feel it), but they seem to relieve pressure on my lower back AND I can walk forever and my feet feel wonderful. I wouldn’t wear them on the red carpet (if I ever get there….), but on a regular day ABSOLUTELY!
My daughter has a boutique on Chapel Street, New Haven. Beautiful artisan jewelry at reasonable prices—-call her! idiom—–203-782-2280.
FitFlops are ugly – earrings beautiful.
Jacquelyn: I’ve been to idiom in New Haven and bought a necklace there! Fantastic boutique.

Excuse me Cath, I live in a very metropolitan, hip city in the south called Austin, TX. It is not a bunch of yahoos like the rest of the state and the women down here get dressed w/full makeup to go food shopping, so I am not sure where you are coming from. How dare you think because you live elsewhere that somehow your civilized, cultured society is any better than any other. As a matter of fact there is nothing civil about your comment.
I bet the flipflops look really ugly on your ugly feet.
“The South” comment was uncalled for. We are all lovely ladies down here:)
Alexis would think FitFlops were amazing if she had been the first one to “find” them.
BARBARA….I also have plantar fascitis and happen to go to the store yesterday and tried the fit flops. I found them very uncomfortable. I had PF in my left foot 2 years ago, had injections, ice, everything, then I had a shock wave procedure ( non-invasive) that sends waves to the PS and puts little tears in it and through the healing it stretches it. The recovery is 12 weeks to the day and it worked for me. NOW…i have it in my right foot and have had some medical complications and can not have the procedure, nothing works to relieve this pain. Uggggg…I am glad you have some kind of relief……
Love the earrings Jenn……
CKNJ: Thanks for the advice. I am going Monday to begin the shock wave therapy. I will let you know if it works for me. Have had PF in both heels at different times over the years. So far, the fitflops are giving me some relief. I know they are not fashionable but I am pretty desperate by now.
People really have the wrong idea about the south maybe you should visit one of our beautiful cities. southern bells ring the loudest!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had my first shock wave therapy session for my PF and it was very painful but my heel does feel better. Have two more sessions scheduled a week apart.
