FASHION

My favorite shoe is...

one that doesn't hurt. I like very much my Azzedine Alaia suede
ballet slippers with a bow and pewter grommets. I like to
wear my Manolo Blahnik suede flip flops in the winter with a
Japanese sock. I have a Jil Sander dance slipper in bronze
metallic stitch leather with a platform sole, high heel and ankle
strap that is comfortable and divine. I also love my
silvered snake skin, very high sling-backs by Shoe Biz.
I now share them with my granddaughters. 55
