Description

It's been said that one can never really be too rich or too thin, but the truth for most modern women is really that one can never, ever have too many pairs of shoes. Shoes - A Love Story is a celebration of this passion, revelling in our infatuation and rejoicing in the stilettos, boots and sandals that have become a very socially acceptable obsession. This collection of beautiful, glamorous shoes offers images worthy of any aspiring Imelda or Carrie complemented by witty, addiction-empathising text from fellow shoe fanatics. Today's woman amasses gorgeous footwear as if she was collecting art - and art many of these shoes arguably are. If you can't afford that pair of Manolos, let the bejewelled heels within these pages offer some solace - and a savings incentive.
