My Christian Louboutins are my Glass Slippers

Shoes have always been featured as a girl’s best friend…….. Cinderella’s glass slipper and Carrie, a New York girl, obsessed with shoes in Sex and the City were a few of my favorites.  A new pair of shoes brings on a kind of exhilaration to the female gender.  My very first pair of Christian Louboutin shoes were given to me by my husband one Christmas morning, who, by the way has unbelievable taste. A very very nice surprise.  After removing the wrapping paper, I knew right away what brand of shoes they were (the box reveiled the content)!  Shaking with excitement, I transported the shoes out of the box to eye level!  I sat there for at least 15 minutes just staring at the shoes!  Christian Louboutin New Nude Simple Pump 120 Patent Calf shoes!

Christian Louboutin is a French designer who designed shoes for Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, and Maud Frizon before opening his own business.  Louboutin brought the stilettos back into fashion in the 1900’s ranging the heel heights of 4.72 inches and higher!  His goal was to make a woman’s legs look as long as he could. His signature shoes have shiny, red-lacquered soles which took some time to convince myself it was “ok” to wear them outside and mark the bottom of the shoes.  I thought for that amount of money, I would be happy just to display them on my dresser. Christian Louboutin New Simple Pump 120 Patent Calf Shoe has a heel height of 4 1/2 inches.  I can wear these shoes with any outfit and they make quite a statement!  I do agree, they make my legs look long and amazing!  Patent leather with leather lining and padded insole makes the comfort of these shoes irresistible. Christian Louboutin shoes can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Christian Louboutin Online Stores.

Always remember the right pair of shoes can make a wrong situation more tolerable.  For example….. while attending my niece’s wedding wearing my Christian Louboutin shoes, I left the ladies room not knowing I was dragging a foot long piece of toilet paper. Walking across the dance floor while everyone was seated enjoying their meal, a complete stranger approached me informing me of my third leg. I was totally embarrassed. Then there was the stare at my feet and the conversation quickly changed as she complimented my shoes!  She loved them and another woman drifted into the discussion. My red face altered back to my original color and the toilet paper issue was forgotten. My Christian Louboutin shoes make me feel elegant, complete my outfits, and of course makes me taller!
