Stilettos

Stilettos

This shoe is capable of invoking euphoria, admiration, panic, and justifiable credit card debt. You can never have too many stilettos, and you’ll never feel as though you have enough. Ask the notorious Imelda Marcos. In 1986, when she fled the Philippines with three thousand pairs of shoes in her closet. (She later said she left behind only 1,060, but who’s counting?) Much of the world balked-but I’ve gotta say, I wanted to meet the woman, I think she lived out a shoe fantasy most woman would kill for. More accurately, I wanted to see her stiletto collection. A woman’s entire being can be understood by the heels she turns on.
What’s more is that the stiletto helps to define the curvature of a woman’s leg, and offers height, confidence, and sass. A woman wearing the right stiletto is a true force to be reckoned with.
 
INVEST, INVEST, INVEST
The names you hear time and again-Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin-you hear them for a reason. They know what they are doing. They know how to create a classic, timeless shoe and make four-inch heels that are actually comfortable to walk in. Geniuses, all of them. But genius does not come cheap. I know some people think it is ridiculous to spend so much money on a pair of shoes. I’ll tell you why it is not:
Quality, expensive shoes will last longer and wear better.
They will not leave you hobbling down the streets.
You will feel incredible every time you slip them on.
