Heart and sole - Jane Eldershaw

"There are only two kinds of women in the world: those who love shoes and those who had the misfortune to be born without the ability to experience total bliss on finding a pair of perfectly-designed pumps in the right size, at half price." So begins Heart And Sole - a light-hearted illustrated memoir of one woman's life through shoes. Full of wisdom and humour, Jane Eldershaw remembers the shoes she has loved, the ones that turned out to be terrible mistakes, and important life lessons she learned along the way. She writes about her first pair of heels (and the battles she had with her mother to get them), the white go - go boots and wooden platform shoes of her youth, and the power of red shoes, as well as how to judge a man by his shoes, and the importance of girlfriends when shopping for footwear. Illustrated in colour throughout with the author's own drawings, Heart And Sole dishes out shoe advice, fashion memories, and observations on the shoes of our lives. Heart And Sole is a must-have gift book for every shoe diva and footwear lover.
