Like many girls, my love affair with shoes started at a young age. Perhaps it was the array of cork wedges and platforms I discovered in the bottom of my mum's cupboard when I was still on all fours, or the first pair of plastic "dress up" heels I received for my third birthday that started it all, but there is nothing quite like the feeling of slipping on a gorgeous new pair of shoes (even though, for comfort sake, most days see me in my trusty havaianas). My mum loves shoes, my grandmother loves shoes and come to think of, pretty much every other female I know has a weak spot for them too. Shoes will never discriminate. They won't make you feel like crap when you're having a "fat" day. They are the one purchase (bar new underwear) that can make you feel great when every other thing is not fitting, or sitting right. Shoes make an outfit. A hot pair of statement heels in a bright colour will always steer the eye to your feet and draw compliments even from complete strangers!
A new pair of shoes can even revamp your old wardrobe. Plain black jeans and dresses come to life with the right footwear, and they make you feel great. So this Valentines day I say treat yourself to a gorgeous new pair of shoes - stilletos, wedges, flats, boots... whatever makes you happy. Your feet will love you for it : )
Oh, and make sure you check out Music and Lyrics with that someone special or your best girlfriend (in cinemas from today). Hugh Grant's "pop" dance moves alone are worth the $15 ticket. And as a self-confessed adoring fan of Drew Barrymore, I highly recommend it if you're looking for a good laugh and some light-hearted romance.Notes on Glossy Paper
