Sacrifices We Shouldn’t Have to Make
A crimson chiffon blouse slid over my head and hugged my shoulders as I pulled my trousers to my waist, fastening the clasp. My favorite black heels sat on the floor as I slid my feet into nude flats. Before leaving the house, I grabbed my keys and carefully joined my two black heels together, stuffing them in my purse. I was about to spend a full day interviewing with top media organizations like the Associated Press and the Arizona Republic...with two pairs of shoes. 📷 My

The Chanel Shoe Legacy (In memory of Karl Lagerfeld)
“Husbands come and go, but the Chanel slingback is forever!” - Karen Walker (Will & Grace) After 15 years of retirement after WW2 Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel came back to work to find male designers such as Christian Dior and Cristóbal Balenciaga on the scene. Chanel was horrified to see how they had created such “illogical designs” for women that were not comfortable or practical. She believed in liberating women from the constraints of corsets and heavy skirts with a ne

High-Tech Heels
Technology has become a predominant feature in our everyday lives. From our phones and watches to even our cars or clothes. Ever fancied walking on air?

Wearing heels puts a lot of pressure on the balls of the foot, which results in a change in weight distribution throughout the body. This causes the knees, hips and spine to alter its natural alignment to cou

The Journey So Far...
Hello my fellow high heel lovers! Like many women I love wearing high heels, there’s something about a pair of heels that change the way I feel. I have any type of heel style you can name from wedge to stiletto, BUT they can be a nightmare to walk in. I’m 100% sure women wearing high heels can relate that every time I wear my heels, at some point during the event, my feet hurt like crazy and I either take my shoes off, have to sit down or power through. I admit I do take flat
