So sad…

One of my feet is bigger than the other. I know I’m not the only one- most women have this in common (boobs). But the difference for my feet is a whole half size! Impossible to find shoes - you never find the perfect size when you really love the shoe.

Yesterday, I was at Marshalls. For people with size 7-8 feet, this store is perfect. The options get worse for my size, 10, so when you find one..”YAY!”. Anyway, I found a 4 inch turquoise BCBG heel with toe cleavage and all. To my delight it fit, until I realized it was on the wrong foot. I do this every time, of course: try shoes on my right and not my left foot, only to then remind myself and get slapped in the face by pain or the awful sight of my toes fighting for space and mounting on top of each other.

I left disappointed. Bye, bye blue shoe.



A Take on Heeling Therapy

Today, I broke down to revisit the object of my affection.

It had been almost eight months. It felt weird coming face-to-face

with my addiction. In my heyday, when my delusions of grandeur

convinced me that I was more of a public figure than Imelda Marcos,

I used to spend $2000 a month on shoes.

Neither, here nor there — it’s one of the reasons; my therapist recommended that I write on this blog.

But then I had an epiphany. When I compared the convoluted therapy

time to the complete comfort of a new pair of heels, tangible

outweighed the costly indifferent consultations with Dr. Brennan.

The ultra-smooth elevation was married to uncommon élan.

I admit that my OCD to high heels has been smoldering since last Summer.

While I LOVE the walking comfort of certain wedges ,

I absolutely abhor any heels engraved in girlish prints.

I prefer to see flowers and abstract designs on the wall — only.

Some of this season’s gauche fashion atrocities only make me adore

and honor the high heeled shoes that expose unadulterated sleek style.

For example, if you check out this shoe,

I bought it to play up jeans and play down a conservative suit.

But, for my daily errand jaunts, I could not resist these shoes. The key

to comfort can be found in both the heel and sole .

For those days when I just don’t give a !@#$%*, — I can always wear

my you don’t want to f-roli-ck with me heels.

As for Dr. Brennan, I can’t help but feel sorry for a doctor whose

services are as disposable as a pair of high heels.

I’m so glad that I did not go into the head case business.



We could’ve been together

Last week I saw a girl wearing a pair of gorgeous black calf-length boots. That instant I decided to go on a journey to find those shoes. Macys and Nordtrom didn’t have them because well, it’s not in season anymore. So I headed over to Aldos because they always seem to have boots available. Indeed they did have the ones I wanted. There it was sitting atop a shelf between it’s sisters in all it’s glory. But here’s the thing. The stilleto heels were about 4″ high. I can barely walk in a 3″. I put it on and tried to walk around the carpeted floor but I looked like I was mentruating, knees slightly bent and waddling. So I had to say goodbye to them. I was sad for awhile until I redeemed myself by purchasing a pair of chocolate leather vintage boots on ebay. Not a sad ending after all.



Can You Wear This?!

I was just surfing the web and there it was. The biggest hunk of high heel shoe I have ever seen. Of course, you can’t wear it unless you’re bigfoot’s girlfriend, but there you have it…

It’s an art sculpture of some sort. His name is Bruce Gray and his piece of art is six foot tall, made of metal, and is red in color.

It almost looks like some weird chair where you can strap someone in…see?

Heel No Shame

If you’re gonna hook up with a non-descript stranger, then make sure to tout a little Plush Style.

Paired well with tattered tight jeans, the heels have a way of pumpin’ up any glam style.

With legendary musician, Carlos Santana’s line of Brown Shoes, you can play innocent with Pretty Pleats heels or come frolick with me boots. Add a knee length A-line skirt with a rack-embracing plain jane top — and you may look a little more than approachable.

Check out the pleasingly pleasant Pump, Boots and Pretty Pleats ->->->yourself

If you like to mix it up with conflicting themes, just try Safari meets athletic. Enlist a pinkish jersey skirt with an off-white polo and pair it with a pair of City Safari high-heeled booties.

Hey baby…
…take a walk on the WILD SIDE.

To plan any post-hedonistic strutting encounters or after a fervent noir of romping, make sure you’re wearing Boot-A-Licious . It goes well with bare skin or even duds.

Not to mention, it gives new meaning to heel no shame.
