Dinner for Shoes is a podcast about style and identity where everyone has a seat at the table. 🍽️👠

Hosted by shopping director & social host Sarah Wasilak and produced by creative director Megan Kai, Dinner for Shoes explores style, identity, personal expression, inclusive fashion, and the real-life stories behind what we wear.

Across 100+ episodes, the show has welcomed designers, founders, stylists, creators, authors, wellness voices, and other culture-shapers for conversations that prove fashion is rarely just about the clothes.

The Dinner for Shoes universe now includes three episode formats:

👠 DINNER FOR SHOES: Intimate dinner-style conversations where every episode starts with a shoe on Sarah’s plate before the actual food arrives. Expect great guests, meaningful conversations, local eats, and frequent interruptions from resident cats Trish and Kit.

💬 SHOE THERAPY: Honest advice, personal stories, and unfiltered conversations about confidence, relationships, self-expression, and real life . . . always delivered in a really good outfit.

🎬 THE SCENE: Dinner for Shoes leaves the table and heads into the world, exploring Fashion Week, creative studios, street style, behind-the-scenes moments, and the people shaping fashion and culture in real time.

This sizzle reel celebrates everything Dinner for Shoes has become — and everything still to come.

If you love fashion but have ever felt like the fashion world wasn’t made for you, pull up a chair.

Dinner for Shoes is entering a new era. But first, we’re taking you behind the scenes. In episode 99, host Sarah Wasilak and producer and creative director Megan Kai break down the show’s creative refresh, from choosing a new color palette to developing the visual concept and scouting the perfect locations for a brand new photo shoot.

They also revisit the three Dinner for Shoes episode formats, laugh through some of the podcast’s biggest past fails, and bring in Trish and Kit for a very important thank you after nearly 100 episodes of scene-stealing appearances.

This special episode of The Scene is a short, funny, and sentimental look at how Dinner for Shoes continues to evolve without losing what made it special in the first place.

Bridal pajamas and scrunchies, Sunday Littles, and founder stories — this week on Dinner for Shoes, I'm joined by Sunday Littles founder Stacey Kalsi for an exclusive first look at her beautiful new Wild Wild Rest collection. Stacey also surprises me with custom embroidered bridal pajamas and shares why the brand is expanding into the bridal space for brides, bridesmaids, and moms alike.

Over eggs Benedict, we talk about the inspiration behind Sunday Littles, how Stacey balances running the Canadian, mom-founded brand while working full-time as a dentist, why there's no "right" timeline for women, and the little moments that inspired one of today's fastest-growing family sleepwear brands. Plus, Stacey brings the sweetest "something blue" to the table: her Chanel flats, purchased right around the time Sunday Littles first launched.

In this episode of Shoe Therapy, I sit down with Peloton instructor, meditation teacher, and wellness expert Aditi Shah to talk about mindfulness, meditation, success, and starting over.

Aditi shares how she went from studying math and moving to India to helping build Peloton's yoga and meditation programs from the ground up. We discuss the pressure to meet expectations, finding the right meditation practice, and why self-care can sometimes feel like another chore on your to-do list. Plus, Aditi opens up about moving on from past relationships, redefining success, and creating a life that feels true to herself.

Sarah heads behind the scenes at celeb-loved hair brand RPZL for a full NYC shoot day with founder Lisa Richards to launch her custom claw clip collaboration: The Something Gold.

Inspired by the organic shape of Sarah’s engagement ring, the gold-plated hair accessory blends bridal style and current jewelry trends into one statement piece. In this episode of The Scene, Sarah gets a signature blowout at RPZL, interviews Lisa about her business plan and building one of NYC’s buzziest hair accessory brands, and takes viewers inside the campaign shoot, photographed by Emma Skakel.

From celebrity hair culture and creator collaborations to the rise of fashion-forward claw clips, this episode explores how personal style becomes a product, and what it really takes to bring a fashion collaboration to life.

Aeston West founder Kait Schneider joins Dinner for Shoes host Sarah Wasilak for a “get unready with me” episode about skincare overload, confidence, and simplifying beauty.

Over avocado toast, Kait explains why her viral 3-step Aeston West routine is designed to replace the endless tubes, serums, gadgets, and complicated regimens that dominate the beauty industry today.

The two discuss founder style, wearing red as confidence armor, beauty burnout, and whether we’re all doing way too much in the name of skincare.

Sarah and Kait also head to the bathroom to try the full Aeston West routine together in real time.

Come with me to New York Bridal Fashion Week.

In this episode of Dinner for Shoes The Scene, I’m taking you behind the scenes at New York Bridal Fashion Week — from major runway returns to intimate showroom previews — for a full insider look at the designers, dresses, and moments defining bridal fashion right now.

We start at Hayley Paige’s highly anticipated runway show (her first NYBFW appearance since 2019), then head to the KYHA Studios Chroma Spring 2027 presentation. The next day, I visit PatBO’s NYC studio and showroom for an exclusive preview, before catching the Jenny Yoo runway show. We wrap the week at Amsale, where I get intimate with the creative team and get a closer look at the craftsmanship behind the gowns.

Expect bridal trends, designer insights, behind-the-scenes moments, and a real look at what it’s like to experience Bridal Fashion Week in New York City.

If you’re into wedding dresses, fashion week, or just love being on the scene, this one’s for you.

This week on fashion podcast Dinner for Shoes, I’m joined by designer Haley Emerson, founder of Haley J., the bold, color-driven brand known for its signature pink-and-orange palette and unapologetically glamorous silhouettes.

After working in fashion houses in London and New York, Haley launched her namesake label to bring runway-level drama into real life, and she’s never played it safe.

Over pink and orange cupcakes (and of course, shoes on the plate), we talk about what it really means to dress like the main character, why she refused to water down her vision to sell, and the reactions that come with designing pieces that demand attention.

We also get into:

• The origin of her now-iconic color palette

• Who the Haley J. girl is (and who she isn’t)

• What it really means when you say “I could never pull that off”

• Her take on minimalism today

If you’ve ever wanted to dress bolder, or just rethink your personal style, this episode is for you.

This episode is also supported by Pointelles, known for thoughtfully-designed shoe inserts that smooth creases and prevent wear over time.
