Feeding your inner Carrie Bradshaw at the MISF2016

High heels, sling backs, flatties, boots, ballets, sandals, clogs, platforms, wedges, strappy, buckled, lace-ups, peep-toes, I do love my shoes, just like all the other women around me....

Who can relate to that euphoric feeling when you look at those gorgeous looking shoes you are considering buying, and the reverant Cinderella like moment when you slipped your feet into them??

That is why, on the average, a woman owns 20 pairs of shoes at any given time. Many own more.

It is known that a great pair of shoes can instantly change our mood for the better. I am married to a man who is slightly shorter then me, however I still love and will not give up on my wedges and high heels as by putting on these high heels can lengthen our shape, changes the curve of our posture, make us feel slimmer and that physical change can evoke an inner feeling of confidence and sexiness like putting on a smile can make us feel happy. 

We are like suddenly, taller, thinner and shapelier. A pair of stilettos pushes that all out even further, and that is why, I dare say, how most women will tell you they love their shoes because of the way they make them feel.
