IF THE SHOE FITS//Tips

IF you are like me…. I LOVE SHOES.
 WHAT GIRL DOES NOT LOVE SHOES??

I,  for one love heels and don't feel complete without wearing a nice shoe with an outfit.
Use to be I walk around in heels always, no flats for me. It just did not feel right for me.

Well , now it seems some peoples feet are made to wear heels and others not , according to recent report from the College of Podiatry . There is a PERFECT HEEL HEIGHT formula to  get the right
shoe for your feet. (I recall being told by a doctor to wear Birkenstocks, those were the best shoes for the foot and back.)











Here is  a simple way to check for the right heel for you -

Step 1. Take off your shoes, sit down and hold one leg straight out in front of you, relaxing your foot,’ . If your foot sits naturally at a right angle to your outstretched leg and does not dangle, then you have less mobility in the talus and will be more comfortable in flat shoes than in high heels. If the top of your foot falls forwards, in a straightish line following your leg, you are a natural heel wearer.  according to a specialist podiatrist.
Step 2. To find your optimum heel height, get a friend or partner to help stretch the tape measure from your heel in a straight line parallel to the floor, then place a pencil at the ball of your foot at right angles to the tape.”




Step 3. Reading the tape measure where it hits the pencil will give you your ideal heel height.

IF you go by the results   then  it suggests a 4 to 5 inch heel is the maximum height, but IF you wear heels  daily a 3 inch heel is the best. 
Yessss, I  am definitely  a high heel girl!  


Even now  I like the kitten heels shoes, think they are cute with slacks or pair of jeans.  So what ever you wear be comfortable and look great.

 SOMETHING DIFFERENT  I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui ,  I was in AWE.   Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The  prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top  that I wear as a coverup)  This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder!

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians  or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises  such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is  a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way  Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person    This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news  etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of?  Okay  maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars  gorgeous , flawless and h
