Retro Footwear

Pin-Up Pumps and Cha Cha Heels Reign Supreme for Spring

As with music, movies, and fashion, everything old is new again. As I get older, I have really become to appreciate the originality and hard work that went into creating almost everything from the 1930’s and on. Just take a look at any New York building--art deco still rules.

That rule certainly applies to the latest fad in ladies' shoes. These retro style pumps are on the hot list this season, I am seeing more and more in the Montreal downtown area. Ladies, there’s nothing more sexy than seeing a young woman wearing these pumps. Dancing the Charleston while wearing them only amplifies your sex appeal, guaranteed!
