vintage Bruno Marentti Kitten heels perched on my favourite candelabra and books
Have you ever wondered how some ladies can totter around in towering heels, take manly strides and yet still look elegant? They are French. But for the rest of mankind, after many years of sole-searching, I finally have the answer for you. The secret is this. Practice. Practice. Practice. No one can suddenly, overnight, master the art of the stiletto. It’s impossible. But if you set aside your trusty flats along with your fear of heights, embrace kitten heels. And when you can hopscotch in them, challenge pumps. Then when high heels no longer make you grimace, speak these 3 fearless little words to platforms. Repeat after me, “Bring it on.” Congratulations. You now have mastered the art of heels. Wear them high. Wear them proud. Wear them every night.

hehe great tips! Beautiful heels and photos too :)
I really miss walking about in high heels, used to wear them everywhere before my knee injury :( they were the cause of my downfall in the end, haha!
thanks you Mica! Aww what happened to your knee? Will it heel in time? Hope you get to enjoy heels too! Or just wear them to dinner and sit :)
hehe yes I like to wear heels to the movies as I don’t have to walk much! Gone are the days I could wear them for shopping trips and days out! Managed to embarrass myself with a big fall one day, knee has been a goner since then. I still get to wear my wedges and the odd heel now and then, but not an every day item anymore. Makes them more special I try to think! :P
ooh that’s such a great idea- heels in the cinema! I’ve fallen so much when I was little without heels, my knees are a museum of bruises :D Yes wedges at good- for standing not for walking :D
great post! Happy New Year!xx
Oh dear, I AM french and believe me, I am just as much in trouble as you when it is about heels ^^

i definitely like shoes with height. i feel uncomfortable in ballet flats, but maybe that’s just me. ;)
i LOVE ballet flats too, they’re so perenially chic but heels empower and make you look ever better that’s for sure!
It took me so practice to learn to walk in heels, but the thickness of the heel can make a world of difference. chunky, cute heels are starting to become popular again and those are really non-threatening for walking in. the super skinny heels can be frightening!
I agree! The thickness of the heel is directly proportional to the ease of walking in them! Practise does make perfect though. Also the quality of the shoe makes a huge difference too!
