Red Carpet Threads

Archive for the ‘Fashion Features’ Category

Fall has finally arrived & even us Angelinos are feeling the season shift from frilly frocks & flips flops to button ups & boots.  I can’t wait to break out my latest jacket purchase for fall but Los Angeles is not exactly wool friendly in the middle of October … a fashion conundrum you say?  Alas Kate Young gives us the scoop on transitioning our wardrobes into the autumn months with the aid of a simple long sweater that works anywhere from New York, to Huston to L.A.!

Much hype has surrounded the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar: Retired Model/TV personality, Tyra Banks recently posed for the mag channeling her inner Michelle Obama in an editorial that peers into the life of a would-be First Lady.

Working girls may curse sky high heels, but the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists claim flats aren’t much better. According to Mike O’Neill, a spokesman for the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, flat shoes can “strain the achilles tendon that runs from the back of the heel, and also the calf muscles in the back of the leg.” Wearing flats presents just as many risk as heels because the foot is not properly supported.

So what is a young fashionista with a foot fetish to do? Rather than dig you heels into the gorund, rotate your shoe styles & don’t wear the same pair all day every day. Calf stretches can also help keep muscles less prone to strain & injury.

Remember: Your feet take you everywhere in life - treat them well!
