Shoe Slave: It's All About The Shoes

The faithful readers of this blog are already aware that SHOES have replaced the 'it' bag. So, the rest of the fashion world is catching up with us.

Watch and listen to Bill Cunningham's gleeful take on New York fashion week and the spectacle of footwear that stole the whole show. If you're a regular listener of Bill's, "On The Street", you will get a kick out of how EXCITED he is this week. Love it.

A few pointers for those who dare-to-wear sky-high heels, here's a refresher from previous posts:

  1. Don't wear them if they hurt (or if you're not woman enough to grin and bear it).
  2. If the shoes hurt a wee bit - NEVER admit it (this is April's commandment and it's absolutely accurate). Let people admire your footwear. If you admit the shoes are killing you, you look like an idiot. A fashion victim. This is not stylish.
  3. It's always prudent to pack a second pair of shoes (in your stylishly oversized bag). This does not mean flip-flops (as featured in BC's photos) or trainers. This means stylish, comfortable shoes that coordinate well with the outfit you're wearing.
  4. Stand up straight. Rock the height and revel in your fabulousness.

I practice what I preach. Below are a few of my recent addictions. I mean, additions:
