H is for Heels...Anyone who is short can appreciate what a pair of great heels can do for you, but even tall chicas can rock out with the best of them! Heels can instantly enhance your posture, be a fashion focal point and clothes just seem to hang better on the body and create a more feminine line. Not to mention that they are just plain S-E-X-Y!!!!!
I for one, am a shoe/ high heel fiend!!! I have vintage 9 West shoes dating back from the 50's and I'm no stranger to buying used shoes a la thrift (I know some people feel weird about it, but a pair of fabulous shoes for a fraction of the price and already broken in!!! Sign me up!). Shoes are an extension of your ensemble so why not take advantage of the benefits of high heels?
For those of you who suffer from the dreaded blisters and pain, I have some secret solutions I am goign to spill so listen carefully... heavy duty clear medical tape is the best friend of anyone who teeters in heels on a regular basis!!!You can find it at practically any pharmacy and I like to keep in with me in my purse at all times because no one wants to be out and about on a Friday night in complete and total agony because of their shoe choice!
Just place the tap
e wherever the friction is occuring and it creates an instant barrier, and because it's clear, no one can tell. There are blister sticks that also prevent rubbing, however, nothing I have tried can truly hold a candle to the tape :) Also, if I know I'm going to be wearing heels all day in the office I will often bring a pair of flats or sandals and wear them on my way to work (this NYC conrete pavement can be killer on your feet AND your heels, so don't be a hero, it's just not worth it!!!) or I carry them in my bag to have on hand.

Just a few pearls of wisdom I have picked up since living here in the city :) Now get out there in a pair of high heels and take over the world!!! No man can do that with the grace a woman can;)
