Many of us Sex and the City enthusiasts are fond of the clever dialogue said throughout the six seasons of the iconic show – some of which just stuck. You might remember the words “Hello Lover” breathlessly uttered by Ms. Bradshaw. Well, this “lover” was handsome, irresistible and went by the name of Christian Louboutin.

Sarah Jessica Parker’s character is known for her effortless and daring sense of fashion that pushed certain style envelopes yet, more often than not, simply worked. More importantly, her taste for designer shoes was impeccable. Episode after episode, viewers would follow “Carrie” as she strutted down the streets of New York as if it was her own catwalk and without the slightest indication of pain. In the real day of a hardworking, on-the-go woman, this might not be so easy, not to mention every shoe has a time and a place.

So I beg the questions: How do women walk with style and comfort, and how do they choose the right shoe for the right occasion? For this, I sought the advice of makeover guru, Eve Michaels. Do not mistake this woman as your hackneyed interventionist who adorns you with a new wardrobe and a visit to the spa, and ¡voilà! You’re beautiful inside and out. There’s more to her philosophy than knowing how to walk in your stilettos and deciding on the right pair of shoes for that monthly conference meeting at work – it is an attitude and lifestyle.

Michaels’ pegged WOW way of life involves a balance between “knowing that you are meant to beautiful and how to treat yourself.” She comments on the disconnection [many women face] between the various aspects of a woman’s being. Finding the harmony between mind, body, and spirit is important to exuding an attractive and satisfying female energy. One of the elements that Michaels highlights to be a significant part of a woman’s being is her sensuality. In the words of Napoleon Hills, as she references, “All creativity comes from a sexual magnetism and we must know how to harness that and exude it.”

Living this lifestyle, according to Michaels, is the foundation of giving your clothes the permission to be fabulous and take certain fashion risks. Being beautiful does not have to be tucked away during your eight-hour day at the office. For example, you can strut a Manolo pump with a 2 ½ inch heel and sport a suit tailored to your curves, while looking polished and professional. Michaels puts it simply when she says, “Men are tired of women trying to act like men.” In her terms, find a beautiful way to walk your man’s world. The basic formula behind this attitude? Know the shape of your foot, find the designers that work for you, and rest your weight on your heels. And, by all means, own it!
