Wish List Mondays #35 - Shoes, Shoes, Shoes.

Shoes, shoes, shoes. We love ‘em. By we, I mean me. I love shoes like nobody’s business. Some say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but give me a stacked heel or a platform wedge and I’m in Seventh Heaven. My grandma also shared my passion for pumps, platforms and peep-toes; one of my earliest shoe memories is trying on her 1970’s knee-high, high-heeled, brown leather boots and strutting around to Nancy Sinatra’s These Boots Are Made For Walking played on her ancient record player. Unfortunately I grew out of her beautiful collection of shoes around the age of 8, but I never grew out of my love for shoes (and handbags, but let’s leave that story for another day). Fast-forward 15 years, and here I am, sitting at my desk in the marketing department of one of the best-known shoe brands in the world. On top of a very healthy discount on in-store styles, I also have access to the backstage of the shoe business – the process of inspiration, design, and creation that goes into every pair of shoes we bring to market. So to celebrate the humble shoe, in its many shapes and forms, I’ve decided to put together a Wish List entirely dedicated to shoes. After all, there ain’t no business like shoe business! (Sorry.)
