how to choose the right shoes for you

I love shoes. I love wearing different pair of shoes for different clothes I wear. Of course, I have to have black, brown and white shoes. Those are my essentials. They are neutral colors so It’s not hard to match them in any kind of clothes I wear. The shoes I wear go with my hand bags. So I have black, white and brown handbags to go with my shoes. But how do we really choose the right shoes for ourselves? Here’s what I could come up with:

  • comfort – before I gave birth to my first child, i used to wear strappy and high-heeled sandals. it changed when I got pregnant. I have to have a comfortable shoes to wear. It’s not advisable to wear high-heeled shoes if you’re pregnant. Shoes must be comfortable enough to be able to walk around. With extra weight to carry, I’m sure it’s better to walk comfortably in a comfortable shoes.
  • quality – we must have at least a couple a few pairs that are of good quality. Sometimes, good quality shoes are expensive. I don’t need expensive shoes sometimes because I want to change shoes often. Good quality shoes last long though. so it’s up to you whether you want a shoes you could wear for a long time or if you want to change shoes more often. if you choose the later, it’s not worth investing in a very expensive shoes. your pick.
  • size – of course, when you buy shoes, it should be the right size. it goes without saying.
  • color – buy a neutral color. unless you’re buying for a specific clothes.

How to Choose Perfume

I love wearing perfume. My favorite is Banana Republic Classic. Because I just love its smell and it kinda reflect my personality. I love Body Shop Musk for my husband. Everytime he wears that he really turns me on. *wink. But how do we really choose perfume for ourselves? Here are some of the things to consider when shopping for perfumes:

  • feeling pretty and feminine? – try floral perfumes. From roses to jasmine to lavender, floral perfumes have long been the most popular and wide-spread scents in the world, and are ideal for young and not-so-young alike. Tom Ford White Patchouli is expected to release in September 2008, this fragrance has notes of dark smoky patchouli, peony, bergamot, jasmine, rose, coriander, and ambrette seeds.
  • if you are a mature woman who wants to smell fresh but retain an air of sophistication try Estée Lauder Sensuous which is designed to reinvent wood scents for women. It includes notes of ghost lily accord, magnolia, jasmine, molten woods, amber, sandalwood, black pepper, mandarin orange pulp, and honey.
  • if you want to smell fruity ~ try Carla Fracci Odette which was launched in Italy this summer, this scent contains notes of lemon, sea breeze accord, apple, melon, pineapple, freesia, jasmine, cedarwood, amber, and musk. Fruity perfumes and colognes are quite youthful in their scent, and suitable for warm and cool weather alike. In winter, they invoke a sense of warm desserts and cider. In summer, they give an air of crispness. They are an excellent choice for women who like classic fragrances, but also want to add a little flair.
