MARKETTE AND VANESSA ARE HEADED BACK TO SCHOOL:

Markette and I met at American University while we were both getting our master's degree in Interactive Journalism. And we loved school so much that we are deciding to go back. Well not that school though. It's trapeze school! (Which I have a feeling will be way more fun) Yep we're feeling adventurous and were going to give it a go. M's been on the worlds longest floorless roller coaster, and I have been skydiving.. so this is right up our alley. Has anybody tried this before? Should we be scared? I've always wanted to be in the circus so this just might be my chance.

I have been blogging my favorite shoe picks each week. I have an obsession with stilettos and so does Markette so it really is appropriate that we are now named DC on Heels. So without further adieu here is this weeks heel of the week. Available at ZAPPOS

I didn't want to leave the guys out with my picks , because shoes are just as important for men as they are for women. In fact you can tell a lot from a man just by his shoes. So guys no Seinfield sneakers allowed. Only Jerry can pull that off and he gets points because he is hilarious. So unless you're just as funny. It's simply not acceptable.
