Shoes, shoes, shoes.

Shoes are fully capable of making or breaking an outfit, be it a night out with the girls or a quick power lunch with old friends, a la Sex and the City.


The beauty of heels, some might argue otherwise, is the structure. I love staring at heels with unique structures. Like architecture, heels give definition to a woman's feet. Back arched, toes tipped, the girl next door can easily be transformed into a fatal femme.

A really uniquely structured pair of heels that baffles me is the "backward heel shoes" by Marc Jacobs.

Seemingly heel-less, you'd think walking in them would require crazy difficulty, but the women who can afford this $1000+ pedi-wonder claim otherwise. The 'missing heel' can be found lying horizontally on the base of the shoe, construing the illusion of a ill-proportioned pair of shoes.

Prada toyed with the idea of structure in terms of design this year, taking something as simple as flaps and creating art out of it. It is, in every sense, loud. Patent and gimmicky, the heels are definitely an acquired taste; loved by some, hated by others.

I love it. =)

Speaking of patent, I love my stuff patent. It's loud, it's subjectively classy, and it pops pretty much everything - what's there not to love?

Here's a pair of Moschino's booties from the label's Cheap & Chic range, patented in my favourite colour - red.

It is so adorable I want to squeeze my size-humongous-11 feet into that cute mess, but that'd be just plain weird.

I'll leave you guys with an 'educational' video on shoes and whatnot. Enjoy!
