Being pregnant means that as my belly expands, my fashion choices get increasingly slim. Having a baby = exciting. Not being able to shop = flat out depressing. Thank goodness for shoes! No matter how big I get or what kind of a day I'm having, I can always count on these purveyors of pleasure to help me feel fab. The best part? They always fit. I am always a size 9. Please don't let me get swollen ankles. Speaking of which, designers had ankles all wrapped up this season with soft ties, hardware and covetable cuffs, bringing this often-ignored body part centre stage. These beauties can make an otherwise ordinary outfit extraordinary and since they're wrapped around your ankle, you won't ever have to worry about losing a shoe, Cinderella-style, at midnight. Is it normal to have simultaneous shoe and ice-cream cravings? Real Life Runway Tip: Soft, buttery neutrals are your best bet for invoking everyday foot envy. Greys, caramels and taupes will make your legs appear longer rather than cutting you off in all the wrong places. Black ankle-wrap pumps are equally stunning if you feeling like channeling your own little Sasha Fierce. (PS - Sorry about the late post today...late night at Fashion Week in Toronto. More to come on that later)
