I'm in Latvia, which is an ex-Soviet republic, and I see this every day. To me it's plain ugly. Yes, our girls wear heels excessively and take care of themselves (skin, manicure, makeup, etc.), but it looks like a meat market. They don't have any sense of style (I don't even mention the word "fashion here). I am not a snob or anything, but I do not wish to see a blue scrunchie + black patent cheap boots with pointy toes + golden short jacket + red fake croco bag + black leggins/pants with ruffles. This is what we call "bazaar or market style" and that means that you are not only poor (which is not bad on it's own), but also not too bright (or plain stupid). I have nothing against high heels, showing off or a bit more dressy style - I just prefer it being tasteful, even in extremes.

What a lucky woman - your wife! LOVED LOVED LOVED the red patent Aldos!

Sometimes I do, but since I have a baby and a mostly frumpy husband, I do this when I'm alone (which is not that often, unfortunately). I love dressing up for my favourite SATC series evening!

I would never imagine this could be done. It just never came to my mind it could be the problem. I wouldn't do it myself, but I guess it's fine, if someone thinks it has to be done After all, we whiten our teeth, do our nails, take care of our skin and hair, so why not toes?

Oohh! My most favourite ones are Manolo's, second are Louboutins. I LOVE Louboutin style, but they require perfect feet to fit in them, otherwise they become a torture.

Hi, everyone! I am new girl on the block and I'm a shoe-holic:w00t2:
