the power of shoe

what do you do when you've stood and walked for hours, and your 5 inch heels are causing you such distress that you consider just lying on the sidewalk and weeping?  well, first you stop and breathe, remind yourself that this is FNO, that you are on West Broadway, and it is so crowded with people that you would both look like a moron and get trampled to death.  next, you tell yourself what a fool you are for not putting a pair of flip flops in your tote bag before leaving home. finally, you go directly into Musette and buy what is quite possibly the cutest pair of flats ever.  once they are comfortably placed on your feet (causing a near fainting rush of relief) you strike up a lovely convo with the owner, who tells you that stock will be rotated on a very regular basis to keep things fresh.  the store is on West Broadway, between Prince and Spring,
View Larger Mapand the online store will be live on October 1.  before leaving, you briefly eye the platform pump with the same black toe cap and cream body, with an amazing green heel.  you then feel a crippling memory of what you felt like 10 minutes prior and snap back into the moment to relish the joy of the flat ballet slipper...oh what a shoe can do.

  1. Next time, try Dr. Scholl's high heel things. I can walk in 5 inch heels comfortably for hours with those things!
