It's one month away from spring but our sorroundings are getting ready for it. It's always lovely to take a walk in the morning and take a snap of these changes - flowers blooming and new foliage.

Facts on High Heels
I only own a pair or two of high heels shoes. I don't really like to use them but I love how I feel when they're on my feet - sexy and tall and surely make my outfit.
I just want to share this very useful info why we should love high heels for those who doesn't yet.

5 Things to Love About High Heels
1) High Heels Make You Taller
Vertically challenged women everywhere will tell you how they love their heels. But, even if you don't need extra height, having it can make you feel good. It's truly a heady feeling to slip on a pair of shoes and instantly be 3 or 4 inches taller, and reaching things on the top shelf, well, it's a high like no other.
2) High Heels Don't Make You Look Fat
Unlike skinny jeans, cropped leggings, or whatever other torturous styles are appearing on the runways, high heels won't make you look fat. Granted, some styles are more flattering than others, but as a general rule, heels are more slimming than flats.
3) High Heels Can Make an Outfit
Even a pair of jeans and a t-shirt can take on an entirely different look when a pair of heels is added, and nothing can make a plain skirt pop like the perfect pair of pumps or sandals. Heels add a feminine touch to suits as well.
4) High Heels Make You Feel (and Look!) Sexy
Just putting on a pair of sexy high heels can make you feel sexier, but they also can make you look sexier. High heels change our body stance, making our calf muscles more pronounced, and forcing our butts and chests out -- it's nearly as if high heels force us into better posture ... and good posture is always sexy.
5) High Heels Don't Have to Cost a Fortune
While it's easy to spend a fortune on high heels, even inexpensive brands can look great. In fact, there are few things that can cost as little and make you feel quite as happy, as a pair of killer heels.

Chocolate Shoes
Here's a treat for those of you who loves chocolate and at the same time shoes! This is really fab gift.. but if given one, I won't eat them rather preserve them. Must have transparent fridge or esky. :D
Masterfully combining two of my greatest passions, and two of life's greatest treasures, Gayle Harte of Gayle's Chocolates is obviously some sort of genius for creating these stunning chocolate shoes.
Perfect as a gift for a chocolate lover, or the ideal gift for a shoe-obsessed friend, these stunning Gourmet Chocolate Shoes from Gayle's Chocolates taste as great as they look.
And if you like the way these chocolate shoes look, wait until you get a load of Gayle's Glittering Metallic Mules. Equally fabulous in gold or silver, these chocolate mules are covered with edible luster dust.
The Glittering Metallic Mules
Here's how Gayle's Chocolate evolve. Gayle was born in 1947 and her genetics reveals her passion for chocolate and from then on, she used to hang out in the kitchen and learn about Austrian pastries. In 1950, her first culinary adventure where she made chocolate pudding from scratch. And the rest is history.

How do you care for your shoes?
I, sometimes, do wipe them with tissue/toilet paper after using them but when the going gets tough and I am left for just a little spare time at the end of the day, I just ditch the cleaning but rather stack them up not on my shoe rack of course. I just wash those that need be at the end of the week or sometimes, just throw them all in a bucket full of soap-foaming water. I don't really care if they are washable or not. :D
But, what really is the best way to care for our "investment"? Here are some tips:
There.. pretty much easy and hassle free.

But, what really is the best way to care for our "investment"? Here are some tips:
Use shoe trees between wearings to help shoes retain their shape.
Let shoes rest on the trees at least 12 hours between wearing.
Clean off dirt after every wear with a soft brush or rag.
Always use a shoehorn for putting on your shoes.
Stop new suedes from "crocking" (rubbing off on clothes) by rubbing vigorously with a towel.
Exotic skins need extra care -- use special cleaners and conditioners.
Use water and stain repellant on suede and nubuck shoes before you wear them. When water stops beading up, respray.

Shoes Stars Love
You know how you just get obsessed with a certain style or even a specific pair of shoes, and you want to wear them to and with everything?
Well, you're not alone.
In fact, even celebrities with more money than they could ever spend, and stylists to dress them head to toe often find a look and wear it 'til it's worn out.
For a few months last year, Nicole Richie was obviously having a love affair with black peep-toe pumps, and I can't say as I blame her.
A great alternative to basic black pumps, and if you have a nice pedicure, shoes like these make a sexy but versatile addition to your footwear wardrobe.

Ugg Boots
I first hear of Ugg Boots here in OZ. Wanna know why they call them Ugg? Short for Ugly Boots, actually. They don't really look ugly but they sort of not fashionable as you just usually don them on winter. They're made of leather but fluffy inside. Some have fluffy fringes. You can buy them in trendy colors if you're the sort that matches her shoes with her clothes.
Well, I don't own a pair of these. Sometimes, I reckon I want to have one but when we're at the shop.. I lost interest in them.
When MCJ and I were at the airport last month, we saw this nice Ugg Boots - look beautiful in plan and dull color and durable as well. It's Merino, what can you expect. While I love to have a pair.. the price just doesn't attracts me. Hehehe. I'm a scrooge! Well, I just dont see the practicality of buying a pair of shoes where you can only wear on winter for a whooping $100 (almost). The sales assistant was really accomodating that I was thinking of buying them but on second though.. hummm. Good thing, I find the boots too long for my legs that they hurt my ankles when I tried them on. The ever-friendly assistant took out a different style - shorter one, but they all don't fit me. Thanks goodness! We end up not buying any.
The sales assistant completed the open-toed pump that I was wearing though and asked where did I bought them. Pinas! Where else? :) She said, I could find the size and style that I want back home... but then, we don't have winter!
Well, I end up buying a canvass shoes in Manila and I'll make do with the uber fluffy slippers that I've got for winter.
