Shoes are a few of my favorite things...

My obsession with shoes began when I was 6 years old and desperately wanted the buckled, black patent shoes that the cool girls had. Since then the joy that a beautiful pair of heels can bring me is..... well, a bit ridiculous really. I walk into a shoe store and my eyes zoom around the room picking up on anything studded, sparkly or unique. I love the way a woman's foot looks in a good pair of shoes. Heels can reinvent any person or outfit. They can make a dowdy skirt and top look like a sophisticated outfit, or jazz up denim so you can cruise over to the bar

in style and comfort. I know have about 60 pairs but its growing each month!

There are currently some gorgeous shoes in stores around here, I took some photos (whilst drooling) on my little outing today....

(The picture above is meant to showcase the shoes on the top shelf, not the bottom!)

Of course, I completely understand that with the beauty of the dazzling heel comes a great deal of difficulty in walking distances, and of course the dreaded foot pain. I don't know about you guys but when I have worn uncomfortable heels on a night out before, I was in so much pain I actually thought my feet would bleed. I remember eventually just giving in and ripping them off in the middle of the club.... not so classy...

So how do we wear our precious shoes out without worrying if we are going to topple over, sprain an ankle, or cry in agony. The answer is....we are not!! Fashion is painful and for me the best thing to do is to first wear a new pair for an hour at a time until your feet are comfortable.

These are a few of my favs from my wardrobe...

These cute, suede ankle boots go perfectly with short skirts, skinny jeans, or shorts. They are just the right height for me and look super cute.

These studded clogs with straps make your legs look a lot slimmer and are super comfortable because of the platform. They are perfect for day or night.

Then there are the heels I love but can't always wear. I bought both of these for photos shoots and they only get worn when I feel I can balance in them!

Don't forget that although I have gone on about how awesome heels are, flat shoes and boots can also make you look trendy and sexy. My two favorite pairs of flats at the moment are my brogues and my gladiator sandals. Both great with shorts for the summer.

Let me know what your favorite shoes are and what you think about style over comfort???

PS

Since I'm a songwriter I thought I would write a shoe song for you guys... :)

Black studded heels, brown clogs, and kittens,

White leather straps, and gold patent glistens

brown suede boots all wrapped round with string

Shoes are a few of my favorite things

When my heel aches, and my toes sting and my arch hurts bad

I simply remember how hot my feet look and then I don't feel so sad.

hahaha

Till next time.... XOXO
