Sexy shoes can prevent feeling low!

Many things make us happy and much can makes us sad, but according to Lindsay Lohan, wearing sexy stilettos stops her from feeling depressed.

The A-List actress who is reported to own 5000 pairs of shoes has been under the spotlight recently and has endured constant criticism from the world media over her slim figure and her wild partying. Ms Lohan revealed that through times of negative media bombardment wearing high heels kept her upbeat.

Ms Lohan said if she was having a bad day, that she would put on a pair of stilettos, some lipstick and a great dress and go shopping.

Lohan who loves to change her style is always close to the fashion pulse of the media and like many of the celebrities out there, she probably needs to think carefully about what she wears.  I like most women don’t have to carefully choose what we wear for fear of being unduly scrutinized by the media, but all the same I find that I can try on several pairs of shoes with an outfit and even though I may not wear any of them, it sure makes me feel good choosing.

Heels can improve your love life!

Okay it’s well known that high stilettos can cause damage to feet, but apparently it can be just as dangerous to wear flat heals.

Some Podiatrists are now advising people to wear sexy high heels to help keep their feet healthy.

 There seems to be a rising trend in foot injuries caused by people walking around in in flats, flip flops and pumps. Flats may be comfortable to wear but can cause severe pain, bunions, back pains and even arthritic pain.

Consul ant podiatric surgeon: Mike O’Neill stated that in the last 4 years there has been a significant increase in foot related injuries as a result of wearing flat heels.

Although I feel that pain and damage to our feet as not put most of us wearing our chosen footwear, what might be worth considering is what new research as shown:  Which found that women who wear heels of around 2-5 inches have an improved sex life.

According to the research, the body posture adopted as a result of wearing high heels improved the pelvic floor muscles, which dramatically improve activities in the bedroom.

Although generally wearing a particular shoe for prolonged periods is rarely a good thing, I find that wearing several styles and for shorter times within the week keep my feet in quite good shape.

High Heels are a Timeless Classic

What’s the deal with high heels? It seems no matter how uncomfortable & painful they are to walk in we just love them to the point where they are one of the biggest sellers in ladies shoes.

There is a kind of mystique associated with high heels; they make me feel like a goddess or a princess with every one look towards you with admiration.

High heels are timeless and although most of us would wear them only on special occasions there is no denying the allure that they have and you feel when wearing them.

These Black Evening high heel shoes are interesting in many ways, although they are intended for a more conservative look they could quite latterly be worn with anything (or nothing, if you prefer) the design and quality of these shoes is absolutely outstanding

These are absolutely gorgeous and look amazing on; they make you feel really unique and individual

Lovely pearlised patent upper and a gorgeous textured snake finish with the most beautiful diamante buckle to the front - designer inspired at a fraction of the cost. They are really stunning shoes at a great price. The heels have a 5 inch cone stiletto heel and 1/2 inch platform- very sexy

 These Black/gold high heel shoes are great for evening wear. The design and quality of these shoes is none less than outstanding. These are absolutely gorgeous and although a little uncomfortable look amazing on, really unique and individual. A Caring effort with the pearlised patent upper and a gorgeous fish tail detail with diamante buckle to the front. 

These are two of my favorite high heels at this moment in time, both are well designed and are not mass produced.  I feel they appeal to people like me that have expensive tasted but a more modest budget. 

These are available from funky footwear  or on eBay  between £20 and £25

How to look weird with shoes

Ever wondered what to wear or worried if somebody else will have the same outfit on? Well a sure way of standing out from the crowd and having an interesting  wardrobe is to opt for weird or unusual shoes. Here is a collection of what I consider to be quirky and unique by virtue of the fact most of us will not wear them.

Killer Heels are Back!

Impossible to walk in, wicked points and uncomfortable raised heels earn these fashion icons the name killer heels. They are set to make a comeback, albeit with certain little changes such as little cutouts, high-rise T-bars, and fabric inserts

Okay these high stilettos will make your legs look good; the style is universally flattering to most of us. The style gives the shoes a low vamp in order to slim the ankle, the very high heel forces the calf muscle to tighten for a much leaner line. The pointed toe shape gives the legs a sleek lengthening effect.

Although these pointy heels are designed to make your legs look their best, they are without question difficult to walk in and I would only wear them on the most important of occasions… such as dropping the children of at schools and shopping.

My Dream Shoes

Wow!  If like me you love cars almost as much as shoes, than this concept design could be your dream pair of stilettos.  Tim Cooper a concept artist based this “top gear” of a design on Lamborghini’s Gallardo Superleggera. The carbon fibre heel and the super car styling are unique…   These look every bit as fast as the supercar that they are inspired by, although I am holding out for a pair styled on the VW Beetle.

Rihanna superstar of style

 have noticed an evolution in the super stylish Rihanna, she has ditched the baggy jean look and opted for design sophistication.

Her revamped look is the work of her team of professionals that have been working for her over the last few months. The roll call is the who’s who of fashion experts: Mariel Haenn, Tippi Shorter and Mylah Morales, who are the A-list hair stylist, makeup stylist and fashion guru.  This ultimate fashion team has been with Rihanna almost everywhere (maybe not the ladies room)

Mariel Haenn, (fashion consultant) despite working with Rihanna and having the backing of Jay-Z and Def Jam does have to work within a budget. She says “There is definitely always a budget, and it’s not always what we would like it to be, but that’s the challenge of my job. That’s what makes you a good star; she doesn’t keep any of it”.

Since working with Mariel Haenn, Rihanna has worn high-end designers like Yves Saint Laurent, LaROK, Gucci, Jean-Paul Gaultier and BCBG.

To Achieve Rihanna’s new superstar look, Mariel Haenn works round the superstar singers nonstop schedule. Often starting at 5am and going on till 2am the next morning… wow!

Going Nude

I have always loved the beige type colours and it seems that many of the top designers do to. The summer 0f 2009 will be renowned for everyone going nude (well at least with the colour of their shoes).

Whilst nude can look sophisticated, it is quite difficult to pull it off.

According to Vogue UK: ‘As a broad rule, the choice of which neutral to wear is in inverse proportion to your skin tone; paler skins suit darker neutrals in cinnamon and coffee, while darker complexions can wear more buttery colours’.

The next time you are out shopping take a look at what people are wearing and if you do try out some of the nude styles, do wear an outfit with textured fabrics. J
