ShoeTease: The Blog
Hi! Welcome to ShoeTease: A Toronto-based shoe blog about shoes & where they take me! I created ShoeTease in 2010 to answer your questions about current shoe trends, shoe accessories, shoe styling, shoe care & more!
You'll find my shoe blog dedicated to many shoe-specific subjects. These include helping you pair the best shoes & heels with a particular outfit or occasion + how to maintain, fix & care for your favorite footwear with the niftiest gadgets around!
My writing is often ironic & sarcastic. Overly enthusiastic. Often & purposefully grammatically incorrect. That's just how I roll. Oh, and I love my exclamation marks!! So I hope you enjoy reading!!!
ShoeTease: The Blogger
Cristina is the name: a UK-born Italian re-living in Canada (confusing much?). It's needless to say (but will say it anyway!) that I'm head-over-heels for shoes & shoe-related products. I believe in styling from the feet up.
As a Paris-trained fashion designer from ESMOD Paris with a passion for shoes & accessories, I was lucky enough to start my shoe design training alongside the immensely talented Manuele Bianchi of Edmundo Castillo & Casbia brands, during our time in Switzerland working for a high end German fashion house.
Working on freelance gigs for Paris-based + Italian design labs & a designer stint at Italy's largest fast-fashion company sandwiched in between, I ended up back in Toronto designing & developing private label shoes for the Canadian market.
I am currently making use of my hard-earned communications degree by working predominantly in the social marketing world: blogging about shoes, fashion, accessories & styling. I'm also dedicated to helping small local businesses & bloggers get their SEO groove on.
You can currently find me creating content for ShoeTease & consulting with other brands on all aspects of SEO.
