Stiletto Picks for Spring and Summer 2009

The Fall is almost behind us and the Central Texas heat is right around the corner!

Below are a few of my favorite heels (the Zanotti “Fluro”, Blahnik
“d”Orsay”, Sergio Rossi “Ankle Strap Sandal” and the “Tatiana”) that
you will see this Spring and Summer. Notice the number of stilettos, which are BACK this season!!!  Que the salivating and the cheering…



Also, have you heard of Taxi-Stilettos (not the classic 3-4.5 inch stiletto, but 6-7 inch skyscrapers!)? They shocked runway watchers last season and continue to prowl about the catwalk this season.  Below are a few of my favorites from NY last week, of course, they are Prada.

And, for chuckles…click on the link below. I am not making fun of this poor model, moreover, I am thoroughly impressed on how well she recovers from the “dangers of high fashion.”

How to Walk in Stilettos

Since my trip to New York City, I visited Chicago, where again, I was faced with walking through the snow in my stilettos.  I want you to know that my IdealHeels passed with flying colors repeatedly and made my wintery trek much more enjoyable!  However, as I was walking through the posh Lincoln Park neighborhood, I started thinking about the challenges of walking in stilettos and was reminded of this hilarious, yet effective video I came across on YouTube months ago.  Not only is it a great “how-to” video on how to walk in stilettos, it touches on some of the key, and very common, mistakes women make when wearing high heel shoes.  Check it out…

This next video is great, especially for anyone who has ever had a back injury, yet still loves to wear high heels, like myself!  It talks about posture and entire body positioning when wearing stilettos. 

Now ladies, you have no reason to not wear stilettos on a regular basis!
