“If the shoes don’t have high heels they are not worth the money”

14th May 2009 by Melina

I already did a post about the obsession for sunglasses in the spring, so I thought I’d follow it up with another spring-obsession many people tend to get (including me): Shoes.

Obviously shoes are an “all year around thing” but it’s now, during the spring and the summer I find that the most people go crazy about shoes. I suppose that’s logical, it’s at this time of the year you have the widest range of choices. You can still wear sneakers and boots as well as peep-toes and high heels.

My ‘now shoes’ are the really high heeled platform shoes that you can see in every store and on every girl in Stockholm, both day and night. That’s the kind of shoe I just assumed is ‘now’. But since I moved to London I’ve had to do some thinking: Is a shoe ‘now’ when it’s Carrie Bradshaw’s latest addition to her shoe collection? Or is a shoe ‘now’ when the rest of the city wears it? I mean what’s the definition of now really?

When I look around at people in London, it’s not the heels I see the most, it’s the ballerina shoes (even in the evenings). So the question is am I wrong and the ballerina shoe should be the ‘shoe of now’ or am I and the girl I once heard saying: “If the shoes don’t have high heels they are not worth the money” right?
