Goodmorning - just something a little light and fun this week. The subject of heels comes up a lot in the shop, of course! We have had our share of crazy, high, sexy heels on the shelves, thanks to the likes of Zola, Vicenza, Kosheen, Hot Lips, Sempre Di and so on. We havent yet reached the heights of Lady Gaga creations, but they may still feel like that when you are wearing them.
We have lots of ladies droool over the stunning sexy heels that amazing designers create year after year, for our appreciation. Comments like " gone are the days when I can wear a shoe like this" and "oooooh maybe I could get these just for dinner, I wont have to walk far !" are regularly heard.
Try try try, we say, technology in heel construction is improving all the time, so whilst they might look high and painful, more often than not they are "comfortable" Now, lets not be "crazy" we are not talking Dr Shcoll comfortable, just much less awkward than what you might imagnine.
An interesting thing is that heels often get very high in hard financial times. Elizabeth Semmelhack, wrote "Heights of Fashion: A History of the Elevated Shoe." She explains that for some reason heel heights soar during times of economic crisis, "it could also be sort of a greater need for escapism." It comes back to that simple little rule of rewarding ourselves with something we really love, thats not too expensive, but makes us feel extra fabulous - a burst of happy !!!
If only the little pretty flats you can buy made you feel as hot and sexy as a lovely heel does. Let me know what you think on the subject of heels, are they worth the effort ???
Enjoy some pictures
Before kids I was able to trott around anywhere in two inch Mr Christians shoes. Its taken me a few years since child birth but im "finding my feet" so to speak! Im getting higher every day, although, is it cheating if im using wedges instead of stilettoes ????
