Women have a list that ranks their wardrobe items in order of preference. The #1 item on my list is shoes. Firstly, there are practical reasons: 1) shoes always fit, even if I gain a few unwanted pounds, and 2) shoes are not a hassle to try on, especially during the winter months, assuming you're not wearing knee high lace up boots while shopping. Psychologically, a fabulous pair of heels gives me a boost in confidence, and height. Finally, a pair of shoes can change the entire look of the outfit and the attitude a woman is trying to convey. For example, if you're wearing an LBD, a pair of black patent pumps translates into a "I just got out of the office" look, whereas a pair of lion paw Louboutins will convey a "I'm sexy with a playful sense of humor" image.

Needless to say, a woman's relationship with her many pairs of shoes is a complex one, but the documentary "God Save My Shoes" attempts to explore this phenomenon. The film, which premiered in NYC on September 7th, features designers such as Christian Louboutin, Pierre Hardy, and Manolo Blahnik, dedicated celebrity patrons including Fergie, Kelly Rowland, and Dita Von Teese, and other shoe lovers, all of whom try to explain a woman's love for shoes. Check out the trailer and a snippet with Blahnik (love him!):
