Shoe Business

Shoe me the way baby cos you're my Caribbean queen! Right now she is. Ok so what did I get up to this weekend? I shoed...I mean I sho-e-pped for shoes and got this beautiful black baby for $80. What say girls? I love em loads. Guess what these shoes are called? EXTACY. Not a party drug, it's just a pair of shoes, o chillax! Now why do I love shoes so much? Well the very first reason being I'm a WOMAN, need I explain any further? I think I still would have to explain, considering the fact that there are loads of people who don't even own a single pair of shoes (cos I can see some of my readers going 'shame on you Keshi for spending so much money on shoes when there are so many shoe-less people on this Earth blah blah blah). Shoooooooo! Let me just explain my very valid 'other' reasons for it then. I simply love shoes, I can afford them and while I don't buy a new pair every sho-e-cking month, I love to keep up with the trends. While shoes is not a way to judge a person, I think what your feet wear expresses who you are to a certain extent. Don't you think? So when you are choosing a pair of shoes (be it any style, color, material, brand etc) you are expressing yourself. I dress to the occasion (atleast I try hard to) so I wear comfy shoes to work (Manolos etc), joggers for outdoors, stilettos for parties, killing-me-softly-with-those-straps-n-heels kinda shoes for weddings, no-shoes for driving shhhhh!, sandals for beach, flats for shopping, Roman-straps for a hot event ooh lala, etc etc etc. One other thing...I don't like cheap shoes. They wreck my feet, wear-out soon, usually are a rip-off, can never be exchanged/returned, and so not worth the drama. Therefore I always try and get something that's quality. I value the after-sales service as well, hell I do.

Basically you can look at someone's shoes and figure out what sort of person he/she is, atleast to a certian extent. I'm not saying you can tell who they are 100%, but you can atleast say what kind of personality he/she owns. It does depened on what the occasion is too. I consider a girl wearing thigh-high boots ( I call em slut-boots) hot, fashionable, bold and gutsy. Someone who wears Sandals to work, a simple and relaxed chick. Someone who wears Manolos, a fashionista ;-). Someone who wears feet-killing stilettos to shops, a bimbo. Someone who wears thongs to a formal party, a person with no sense of style at all. Believe me I have seen people wearing thongs to parties. I know that each one of us have our own freedom to wear what we want, but to wear thongs to a party/wedding is just not accepted - ah ah a big NO! What about the beach? I have seen some people walking around in high-heels in the sand. It would make a good horror flick, to say the least. Title would be 'RIP Common Sense'. What about someone who wears joggers for an executive job interview? I say it's being unprofessional and there's a big chance of not getting the job (unless ofcourse the interviewer himself is a jogger maniac). What about men's shoes? Well I don't know much about men's shoes except that I have noticed some blokes wearing rather large shoes...I mean SHOE SIZE of a man does tell me something and I have Cazzie's table to figure out the details haha! If the shoe fits, wear it ;-).

Your shoes do make an impression, whether you like it or not. It sho-e-s alot about you if you didn't already know. Wear what you like, what you're comfortable with, and most importantly dress to the occasion. Got any shoey thoughts from your side of the world people? And oiii men, what's your shoe-size? LOL!

Have a sho-e-delicious week ahead then!
