Stilettos and Handbags

This falls into the random silliness category . . .

I just watched a show on TLC called Fashion Fanatic and I have to say that I have grown into one. I never wore high heels and always carried the same purse until I moved to Spain. It's been a few years since living in Europe and I am still loving my heels. The tv show wasn't all just to make me drool over fashion; I did learn how a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo shoes are constructed, over 129 steps, and all hand made! But I will still probably never spend the $2,000 + for a pair of Ferragamos. And handbags... If I could afford the $2,180 metallic python shoulder bag- i would love it! well until I thought about all the starving kids I could feed with that much $$. ok so i'm a little too practical to have designer accessories, but i can still enjoy them, buy knock offs right? all summer in East Asia I pretty much just wore 2 pairs of flip flops and since coming home I've worn my heels as much as possible. I can't explain it exactly, but putting on a pair of fashionable high heels just makes me feel feminine and put together even if the rest of my outfit is just shorts and a tank top. One segment of the show was the host taking a work out class in high heels to help strengthen her core and give her proper posture so that she could walk longer in her heels. I draw the line at working out in my high heels, its Adidas all the way baby! k well I think thats enough on that topic for now ( i can't let people in too much to the shallow side of me :)
