2nd Place

I adore my shoes because slipping into the perfect pair makes me fall in love, over and over again, with being a woman. Vivacious and sexy, sassy or elegant, delightfully flirty. Walk a while in my shoes.

The click of stilettos across a marble foyer that turns the heads of gentlemen in suits; the appreciative looks, interest sparked. The skinny jeans tucked into exquisite fur lined boots entices nostalgia of that weekend in winter paradise and makes me grin. The daisy flip-flops remind me of that summer day with the watermelon-scented breeze playing Frisbee with my nephew. Dancing to my favorite song by candle light in the red dress and black sling backs brings a sigh to my lips.

The words of Giuseppe Zanotti ring true when he claims that shoes are jewelry for the feet. They capture, accentuate and enhance. Everyday is a special day when you are wearing the perfect shoe. The crème de la crème of shoes, to me, is the coveted creation of your identity. You are who you wish to be. You can transform into whatever you want to be. For me, that is simply a woman who adores her shoes. Jennifer
