“Give a girl
the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” ― Marilyn Monroe
I can be
wearing anything at all..it could be the most boring, dull outfit...but as soon
as I put on the right pair of shoes, I become Cinderella. Like magic. There isn't
one pair of shoes in my wardrobe that don't work that magic.
Shoes make
the outfit. They dress it up or down, a great pair of shoes gives you an
untouchable attitude and a fabulous boost in confidence. A lady is defined by
the shoes she wears! So I say live in them, treasure them, have plenty of them,
and wear them high.
There’s definitely
something to the idea that shoes are likely to fit and look amazing no matter
how much weight you’ve lost or how bloated you feel, no matter how tired or
crabby or upset you are. Shoes are a constant within outfits. They’re reliable.
If they look great at 6 a.m., they’ll still look great at 9 p.m. unless an
unseen muddy puddle appears.
But it occurred to me recently that shoes are also connected to ideas of
travel, movement, and agility. We walk on them, rely on them to protect us from
the streets and the weather, and our movements are helped or decided by them.
This lends them a considerable amount of power within our daily lives.
Yet they are somehow also filled with power themselves. They influence
our stance, posture, and overall physical appearance. They make us feel taller,
steadier, faster, more lady like and capable of great things. Shoes are
powerful.
And because of all that our shoes do for us we form an emotional
attachment to them.
I don’t have an emotional attachment to ALL my shoes. I don’t care one
bit about running shoes, for example, other than that they keep my feet and
knees happy when I’m running. Trainers are like equipment they are necessary,
but I’m not making a style statement with them. The same is true for my ski
boots, astro shoes and snow boots. And I have several pairs of shoes that are
not gear, exactly, but I’m not in love with them.
So which shoes/boots am I in love with, and why?
It’s the ones that make
my style me , that’s my gold Hi Tops or
high heeled flip flops. I think the attachment is so emotional because shoes
can make me *feel* a certain way more than any other item of clothing.
I tie up
my red studded Hi tops and immediately feel tough and badass. When I walk in my
high heels, head up, shoulders back and stomach in, I feel womanly,
sophisticated and even powerful. I feel young and carefree in my cute ballet
pumps. Shoes have this amazing power to transform your look as well as your
attitude!
Debatable question that - Is Bacon better than love
I love moon boots just because they are so comfy , warm and great for snow . The only thing you can't do in them is run properly because they are so bulky.
As seen on the Fashion Week catwalk spring-summer 2013, the trend of ultra flashy and colourful makeup is very in this season .Bold, bright lip colours are the perfect way to dress up any outfit . The way to wear the look and be on trend now is to keep your lip colour matte , and lip colours shimmer free! Scarlet red and neon shades like fuchsia and coral are my favourites.I particularly like the Anna Sui Lip rouge below.
