Heels: The height of fashion: What is a perfectly put together outfit without a mind blowing pair of high heels? Nothing less than mediocre you might say? Marilyn Monroe famously said “I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.” If you’ve ever asked yourself any/all of these questions then this article is for you:”Do you really like them? I couldn’t really afford them, but I had to have them” Or “If I bought these shoes, my collection would be complete” Or “Did someone say ‘shoe sale’ Then this lens is for you you and you!!The architecture, design and consideration that goes into a pair of high heels is a pretty tall order (pun intended) For instance if you look at Block Pump Hi by United Nude – WOW available at Kindred Sole. The fact that the designer of this style is a professionally trained architect shines through in the bold silhouette of the design. And if colour is your thing than you are bound to impress with the ‘Flo Red’ patent leather of this little beauty! The biggie for me with this particular pair of shoes is that they are based on a traditional silhouette, strip them down to its fundamentals and it is your much loved classic court shoe. What makes it shine out in todays shoe world? The fact that it has been modified, extended, adapted with the architecturally inspired heel and BANG you have something that really does pop. Whatever angle you view it at – just like a building (its muse) you see something different and very angular.You may be thinking ‘Well yeh, it looks good but is it going to be wearable, functional and importantly will I be able to walk in it?!’ The chunky, solid heel makes it practical sturdy and dare I say it very wearable. Its not age discriminative (my 50 year old mum owns a pair) great with jeans, skinnies, flares, any type of denim you’ve got it works and with a LBD it truly is Very Happy!So you may have got the impression that I am kinda sweet on this shoe?! Yes indeed I am but my love of high heels/ shoes/ boots/ shuboots/ flat shoes/ platforms/ kitten heels/ wedges/ sandals (need I go on?) is never exclusive to one pair! That would just be very narrow minded wouldn’t it!? I want to explore every shoe possibility and not judge any particular shoe until I’ve walked a few steps in each of them!

If you know someone that is likes shoes then what better gift could you give them than a high heel shoe necklace. Made out of sterling silver they will really appreciate the time and care that has gone into making this quality piece of silver jewellery. Silver has been known since ancient times and has long been valued as a precious metal, used to make ornaments, jewellery, high-value tableware and utensils and currency coins. Mined right back in 4000BC in Turkey which was then called Anatolia, the main source of silver now is from Peru and Mexico. To the Egyptians, gold was considered to be the perfect metal, and gave the symbol of a circle to it. Since silver was the next best to gold in terms of perfection, it was given a semi-circle for it’s symbol. This semi-circle later changed through time and led to a moon symbol, due to the similarity between the shining metal being like the glowing moon light. The Romans gave silver the name of argentum, which is still used today as the international name of the element, from where its chemical symbol of Ag comes from. Commercial-grade fine silver is at least 99.9% pure silver, and purities greater than 99.999% are available. In silver jewellery a purity of 92.5% is used as above this and the silver jewellery becomes too soft and would not withstand everyday wear. This is where the term 925 silver comes from representing 925 parts silver out of 1000 with the other 7.5% traditionally made from copper. Silver is also mixed with gold to make white gold and is recently becoming more popular.

My mom once told me that, one of the things she couldn’t leave everyday was high heel shoes. Since the day she could wore his first high heel shoes out without her parents’ complaining, she began to wear them nearly every day. With times goes by, the heels of her shoes have been changing slowly; from 3 inches to 5, 7, even 8 inches- the height I can’t bear.

I’m so confused why she, also many others are so fascinated with high heel shoes though they brought them ugly feet.

It was an awards ceremony of my friend, I was invited for congratulation with a lot of other excellent women- all in beautiful high heel shoes. I feel a little embarrassed when other women around me dwarf me with the help of high heels. At that moment, I feel stupid by my own design. But after standing for a long time waiting the end of the ceremony, every woman in high heel shoes hurried to find sits that I can hardly managed one for me.

Back into home, I feel crippled with my feet swollen. I could think out the pain of other women stood with. There are always many sides of people, like me, on one hand, I want to be in a style that makes me feel beautiful, and on the other hand comfort is so important to me. Thinking more about it, I can hardly say it foolish to wear high heel shoes with pain.

I have to admit that, high heel shoes make me feel powerful. An extra few inches can help me feel confidant and be taken seriously. An 8 inches heel does get me noticed and being at eye level with men. So I begin to follow my mother’s journey with high heels too……until I lose feeling in my toes.
