Red shoes - no knickers
We’ve come a long way since the old wives saying: Red shoes - no knickers. In fact - over the last few months some of the shoes I have most coveted have been of the scarlet variety. They make a striking impression with black trousers - or dress up your favourite old jeans.

In fact so great was my obsession for the ruby slipper that my Dorothy complex began. I would wake in the night to take a peek at the mag, I would find myself browsing the net for a glimpse.
