We Are the People of Design

As Carrie Bradshaw would say, Every once in awhile, a girl has to indulge herself.   Well, every once in awhile a girl has to look damn good, and what do we turn to? Our shoes of course. Christian Louboutin’s, Jimmy Choo’s, and Manolo Blahnik’s, all top designer shoes that make grown women drool with desire.  These days,  for a good chunk of change you can pay for a stunning pair of designer shoes, it just may take your whole paycheck to do so. But why not? The little voice inside your head is saying, "you deserve it, your fashion forward, why shouldn’t you indulge! They may only go with one outfit, but your going to look hot as hell."    So maybe you count down the days until the Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale.  Those Michael Kors 5 inch Studded Pumps will be 30% off, and you will do anything to have them, to hold them. I have even caught myself considering buying a pair of Jimmy Choo’s that were over $200, but they were originally $500,  so technically the shoe gods were trying to speak to me.  But let’s be honest, we are obsessed with making our feet sparkle. With making them look as chic and sexy as possible, so when another girl walks by you can flaunt it in their face. (becasue we all know guys don't give a damn) I mean hey,  maybe an intervention is an order for your online shoe shopping addiction, but shoes these days are a statement, and a testimony to the small designer burning inside all of us. We are the people of design, and we appreciate the little things. The small crystal claps, that rich red sole, the snake skin platform, and the perfect peep toe. Maybe Carrie was trying to tell us something.  Maybe our obsessions are reason enough to indulge. Were basically wearing a perfectly faceted piece of artwork that screams for attention. So why not reward ourselves for being so design conscious.
