Elena is a fashion-forward woman in her late twenties, working in a shoe store by day and sipping rosé on rooftops with friends by night. She’s deeply invested in her clients’ lives, always offering more than just footwear advice. But after meeting a charming Danish man online, her world is turned upside down, forcing her to evaluate what truly matters. All while helping her best friend Sophia navigate her own boy problems—because that’s what friends are for, right?

In this memoir-turned-fashion guide, Elena takes readers on adventures through Copenhagen, Barcelona, Rome, Moscow, and London, subtly sharing her insight into fashion history, current trends, and sustainable style. As she journeys through dynamic relationships, tough conversations, and several trips across Europe, she discovers something remarkable: her customers are not just connected by their love for shoes, but by their love for each other.

Stories from the Shoe Store: Men and Other Hot Fashion Accessories is a lighthearted and relatable guide to fashion, beauty tips, relationships, and the most intimate relationship of all—the one we have with ourselves. Follow Elena’s journey in this romance-packed girls’ manual that doubles as an innovative travel guide, all through the lens of fashion.
