Yes, they’re shoes. Convertible shoes, made by an insurance company. Confused? Read on. UK car insurer eSure has a spinoff division called Sheila’s Wheels, which markets insurance to women. According to the site, national statistics show that 80% of women in Britain regularly wear inappropriate footwear when driving, including high heels and flip-flops.

So Sheila’s Heels were born. Regular stilettos by day, they fold down flat for driving, stowing the heel inside the sole for a scratch free journey (apparently scratched heels are a major problem. Who knew?). Sheila has thoughtfully put a grip pattern on the sole, too, for slip free pedal control.

The official page has no details on price or availability, but it does tell us that “It is illegal to drive barefoot in Scotland.”

The answer: Style and Confidence!

Her self esteem and self confidence scream through the roof in her fashion collections. So how can we take on that Carrie-flair and mix it into out waredrobes?

Here are some tip:

• Mix and Match it up! Dont be afraid to mix-and-match traditional with non-traditional.
• Its all about the Shoes! Womens shoes are an investment! The more, the better… the higher the heel, the greater you’ll feel. Carrie’s attitude towards them is all heels all the time. Check out sexy women high heel shoes at out boutique, Lady Me.

A novel by Sharon G. Flake

“The voice of Maleeka Madison is endearing, honest, and powerful. She vocalizes authentic adolescent fears-of social acceptance, peer intimidation, and self -image. Slowly, Maleeka grows from seed to bloom as she gradually learns to love herself. Sharon Flake writes with the soul of her characters-a race and wonderful talent.”

                                                                                                                      -Sharon Draper

“Flake is a master of junior high funk and pain. Girls everywhere will appreciate Maleeka’s candor and complexity as they stey inside her skin in the compelling first novel.”

Wearing higher heels - although perhaps not stilettos - may improve your pelvic floor muscles and in doing so boost your sex life, a study suggests.An Italian urologist and self-professed lover of the sexy shoe set out to prove that high heels were not as bad for women’s health as some suggest.

The shoe has been linked to a range of problems - from corns to schizophrenia.

But in a letter to European Urology, Dr Maria Cerruto said her research showed it was time to stand up for the heel.

She said her study of 66 women under 50 found that those who held their foot at a 15 degree angle to the ground - the equivalent of a two inch heel - had as good posture as those who wore flat shoes, and crucially showed less electrical activity in their pelvic muscles.

This suggested the muscles were at an optimum position, which could well improve their strength and ability to contract.

The pelvic floor muscles are an essential component of the female body. As well as assisting sexual performance and satisfaction, they provide vital support to the pelvic organs, which include the bladder, bowels and uterus.

But they often weaken after pregnancy and childbirth, and as the woman gets older. There are exercises to strengthen them, but Dr Cerruto hopes her findings may eliminate the need for these.

“Women often have difficulty in carrying out the right exercises for the pelvic zone and wearing heels could be the solution,” she said.

“Like many women, I like high-heeled shoes,” she added. “It’s good to know they have potential health benefits.”

Gill Brook, a women’s health physiotherapist in Bradford, stressed the findings did not suggest that stilettos were a good thing for those keen on improving their pelvic floor function.

“But for women who like a slightly higher heel, these are reassuring findings - although we haven’t yet done away with the need for regular exercises to maintain what is such an important part of the female body.”
