Fashion Vs Function

Last week I was browsing around my favourite website for all things fashion and celeb goss related - Daily Mail online, and found an interesting article on the sultan of footwear, Mr Christian Louboutin.

His shoes have become one of the most coveted items for any woman's wardrobe, with the instantly recognisable bright red sole and ridiculously absurd heel, these magical shoes certainly make any legs look absolutely amazing.

So....where's the 'but' I hear you ask? In the article, Christian Louboutin defends himself against remarks he made about women who wear his shoes. Initially he had claimed that if women can't stand pain, then they shouldn't be wearing them. More recently he's decided to explain his views on comfort versus pain!

Reading the article got me thinking about good ol' Louboutin. The fact of the matter is, as stunning as these shoes are - they provide crippling pain. So what's a girl to do? Many a time the night has started with me striding confidently across the dance floor and has ended with me scrambling for stability like Bambi on ice!

The age old question of fashion v function will always be a hot topic, with women always debating on whether to be be sensible or throw caution to the wind and pray that their feet are not permanently damaged the morning after.

 Louboutins, friend or foe?

Me personally? I've decided to remain loyal to the fashion and ignore the function, after all function doesn't give you confidence, nor does it add that extra special touch to an already fa-bu outfit.

Here's hoping my feet understand my choice in twenty years time!

Hey there, Hi there.....Hello there!

Well.....after many months, I've decided to jump back on the horse and start blogging again. During my mini sabbatical I lived it up in Barcelona learning Espanol, met some fab people along the way and found a new job - which has kept me extremely busy over the last few months.

So without further ado: let the blogging commence.....
