Shoes To Die For

These are some shoes I am currently lusting over:

Hello, It's Brooke Michelle!!!

I've been in love with fashion ever since my first year of college. Coming from a small town, people were more into blending in than standing out. In college, my eyes were opened up to the way that girls & guys alike from different parts of the country expressed themselves through their style. I never realized that you could say a lot about themselves without saying one word. I loved how people could be so "different" & unique & not be viewed as weird where they were from. Seeing so many representations of styles (from DC to New York to Philly to California, just to name a few) led me on a search to find a style that I could call my own. I dealt with a lot of sideways glances from people when I stepped out in things like mixed prints & 6-inch-heels on a daily basis, a lot of "Where are you going" when I threw on heels and a dress just to go to Wal-Mart. But soon none of that mattered because I found that when I looked good, I felt good, & soon my confidence started radiating through me. I would have people ask me to take them shopping or style them for this event or that event and I was like "You've done it Brooke; you've found what makes you you"... and I was proud. Some people may say focusing on your appearance is superficial, but I feel differently; finding my style gave me happiness in some really rough times, it has been my saving grace and what ultimately helped me determine who I really am. So I guess I owe thanks to everyone who I've ever encountered with a unique style, every fashion mag, blog and stylist I've ever read up on, and even those naysayers with the sideways glances... As a result, I've found my passion, and it is all things fashion :)
