To be a fashion forward can become a bit 'clutching' at times, especially when you're a shopaholic and every item in your closet has a story attachment. For example, no matter the size of a woman, when it comes to shoes we share common grounds. It's not required to be a fashion model's size to strut in your fav pair of labeled footwear, you can be yourself without all of the sculptured foundation garments and bias cuts to disguise your body flaws or enhancements to play up your best assets ... Shoes Allow Us To Be Ourselves!

This is why so many fashion savvy women from all walks of life j'adore their shoes. A woman's right to shoes explains a woman to the max - ever wondered what type of woman you are based on your shoe selection? You'd be surprised with the results. Stay tuned!

Manolo Speaks ...

Remember this shoe?

Of course you do, I'm sure you're going "OMG that's the beautiful 2-die-4 blue satin Manolo from Sex and the City," right? And you'd be the MVP of fashionistas, lol (Just kidding). Regardless, I'm gagging anyway because the entire world of fashion thought this was the most "amazing" pump to date and Mr. Blue Satin Pump himself begged to differ.

Check out his response to the legendary pump during an interview in Footwear News (FN) entitled Head Over Heels by Katie Abel and Wayne Niemi ... highly recommended.

FN: Were you surprised about the attention your blue satin pump got in the “Sex and the City” film?

MB: I’ve been doing that shoe for a million years. The only thing that changed was the buckle. It is a pretty shoe, but it isn’t particularly exciting. [I’m amazed] that you have lines of people, even in Europe, asking for this shoe.
