Tips on how to have sexy and sandal-ready feet

Free People "Fools Gold" wrap sandal, $89.

I know not every one was blessed to have nice and sexy feet but that's not an excuse not to take care of them. Don't you dare give up on taking care of your feet because nice shoes will never compensate for ugly looking feet. Here's how you can take care of them so that you'll be ready to wear those gorgeous sandals that's been sleeping in your closet for quite some time now.

1. Of course, it all starts with wearing the perfect fitting shoes. Shoes that doesn't fit right will cause your feet blisters and corns, not to mention the excruciating pain during and after wearing the shoes.

2. Soak your feet in foot bath with essential oil for at least fifteen minutes to loosen dead skin. Do this at least once a week.

3. Give your feet a good scrub to remove dead skin after soaking it in foot bath. A pumice stone works wonders so invest in a good one.

4. Give your feet a rest. Immediately remove your shoes, and socks if you are wearing one, as soon as you get home. It's also a good habit to shift heel height to relax your feet and prevent hammer toes and even fractures.


 5. Don't let nail polish stay longer than two weeks on your nails. Nail polish have chemicals that can cause brittleness and discoloration.

6. Always maintain a suitable nail length. If your toe nails are too long and you often wear closed shoes, you are more prone to ingrown nails.

7. Just like any other part of your body, your feet needs moisture so invest in a good cream to  make you feet just like a baby's. 

8. This may sound weird, but purified water is better than tap water in washing your feet because it prevents the heels from cracking and drying.

Celebrity Shoes: Kirsten Dunst in Christian Lacroix pumps

Photo from people.com

Kirsten Dunst wore a Christian Dior dress that was based on the label's 1952 collection. It was simple yet oozing with elegance. Her jewelries perfectly matched the sophistication of the entire ensemble. Her Christian Lacroix ankle strap pumps also added glamour to the look. It is actually one of her favorite shoes since she's worn them several times already.


Photo from Your Next Shoes

Up close, the upper is made of satin with flower embellishment. It has ankle strap and 4-inch heels with a slight platform front. This is probably not available anymore since it was from the label's 2007 collection. Did you know that it's the first time she's worn it in the Oscars? What a classic and sturdy pair of shoes!

Jimmy Choo 'Mantle' jeweled flower metallic sandals


It has been a while since I made a post about Jimmy Choo and I think this is the best time to make one because of this very special sandals. It is rarely do I get impressed with 3D metallic embellishment on shoes because despite its being dainty, I don't have much time or place or event to wear them. For me, it is a crime to buy really beautiful and expensive shoes  that you will only get to wear once or twice a year. However, I would like to emphasize that I really like beautiful shoes and this Jimmy Choo metallic sandals with the most gorgeous 3D flower embellishment really sparked my interest. I couldn't stop staring at those flowers. 

For the stats: its lacquered heel measures 110mm, metallic leather upper with 3D metal flower and rhinestones. You can buy at neimanmarcus.com for $1995.

Dolce and Gabbana rose embellished metallic caged sandals

The literal caged sandals by Dolce & Gabbana has its 6.5-inch wedge and 3-inch platform made of metal with rose embellishments. Its upper is made of leather with velvet insole. I think that something so delicately designed like this will be better appreciated when displayed in a gallery rather than worn.  Where do you take this for repair? Cobbler or welder?

You can have it at netaporter.com for $6,900.
