Just judging by appearances it seemed a huge success! My friend, Frank DiFilia, has just (September 1st) opened a fabulous new shoe store, My Blue Suede Shoes at 215 Glenridge Avenue in Montclair, the former home of Starseed Yoga.
He had a number of visitors last evening traversing their way from one fashion venue to another, and all were surprised, delighted and transfixed at Frank’s amazing offering of quality shoes that really are pieces of ‘wearable art’ at advantageous prices! Come and see for yourself! My Blue Suede Shoes’ Facebook site is at https://www.facebook.com/pages/My-Blue-Suede-Shoes/261983530502185
