Ladies, lend me your ears and send me your mulah

One of Brazil's biggest exports is shoes. I live in the town that has one of the 3rd LARGEST shoe factories in the WHOLE of Brazil!

Beautiful shoe-wearing ladies of the world: send me your money, your mulah, your dollars and your stirling and I will buy you some beautiful shoes for you to wear. They are well made and super in-expensive.

I bought a super cute pair of heals, leather, pointy, for just R$50 from the factory shop. just to clarify, R$50 works out at around US$25 and £12.50....!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I wore my red birthday shoes (heals, leather, pointy and from Zara, bought for me by Junior, independant of any advice from me...oh yeh, major brownie points for him!) and I have no idea how the women of Brazil do it. It is more common to see a woman in heals as her everyday shoe-attire than it is to see her in flats or flip-flops. However, the pavement (side-walk) is SO un-even with cracks that would certainly break your back if you stepped on the crack!! A normal 5 minuite walk from home to the church took me around 10 minutes today in my red birthdady shoes!

When I asked Junior how the women in Brazil do it, he said 'Women who wear heals dont walk to work, they drive. Only poor people walk'....oh....hmmm...maybe I'm trying to be something I'm not??!!

Nah, I don't think so! Bring on more great buys from the Factory shop of Brazil's 3rd largest Shoe Factory!! woohoo!!
