We’ve all been there! We get dressed for the day, slip on our favorite heels, walk out of the house, get into work and head to the break room for some caffeine.

Between Kate Middleton and Kim Kardashian, there seems to be a lot of discussion around pregnancy style these days. Regardless of the buzz, I am personally amazed at how both women are able to walk in sky high heels while promoting and celebrating charities, events, good deeds (and sometimes, themselves)! Ha ha!

I was looking for inspiration (and content for my Twitter account) this morning, and happened to Google ‘quotes about shoes.’ My search unveiled some unknown quotes about Cinderella and stillettos; some light-hearted comments by celebrities; and some profound statements by Salvatore Ferragamo, Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik and the like.
