So I was reading K is for Kinky yesterday, and I was totally feeling her post about how she dresses “around” her hair, basically its the pivotal point in her entire “look”. I feel the same way because I have locks and my hair is a bit “untamed” which I love, so to neaten my look, I’m always ( well most times) impeccably dressed in some killer heels. They lift your ass, force you to stand straight and also makes people look “up to you”! haha

I think it was Coco Chanel who said  ”A woman with good shoes is never ugly. They are the last touch of elegance”

I can’t agree more!

My entire hallway is dedicated to two bookshelf worth of shoes ( thnx to IKEA) – most of them are not designer shoes, just stuff I’ve found along the way in honing my own personal style. Many are from discount retailers like Marshalls, Daffys, H&M and Neimans Rack.  Very few are Lanvin, YSL and Pierre Hardy.

I am my shoes and my shoes are me. I love to mix high end with vintage, trends with classics and designer with retail brands.

I simply could no live like my husband does with less than 10 pairs of shoes!

I would die!

Yes that might sound superficial, but I don’t care. I’m careful with my money, I take care of my financial responsibilities, I work hard and I do not live above my means.

I’m a reasonable shoe addict, and every woman deserves a guilty pleasure.

HERE ARE a few OF MY FAVE WOMEN WITH A SICK SHOE GAME:

Actually, I think a big part of my love for shoes came from my mother who loves fashion and is still one of the best dressed women I know.

Another part of my shoe love psychoanalysis goes back to my childhood when I would wear my sister’s shoes, because I would always destroy mines so quickly, and my parents budget couldn’t keep up with my speed of destruction.

WHO ARE YOUR SHOE ICONS?

I know absolutely nothing, I confess, NOTHING about make-up. I wash my face everyday with Pears glycerin soap and moisturize with Cetaphil, and thats pretty much my beauty routine. Very blah, I know. But when I need to step it up, I call in the pro.

Which is why I know Segal Yehudai , and you should too, she’s THE support team…

She’s done work with a diverse range of clients (which proves her versatility to doll up any face and sculpt any head).

I mean from a music video directed by 50 Cents with Olivia, to work with A&E Television, VH1, and Fashion Shows such as Rebecca Dannanberg, Emmanuel Ungaro, Helmut Lang, Calvin Klein, Betsy Johnson, Fendi, Versace to even the UNICEF she’s done it.

She’s an awesome pal( ok, so I’m kinda boasting, LOL, but wouldn’t you?) and a truly great artist, these images are just a few of her work.

Love, love, love – Jahaute!
