Walk It Like I Talk It

Let’s talk about something no one wants to say out loud: some of y’all are struggling in heels—and it shows.

I recently heard about an exclusive walking class just for women who want to master the art of walking in high heels. And honestly? It's about time. Because while a killer pair of stilettos can elevate your entire look, nothing brings it crashing down faster than an unsteady, knock-kneed wobble.

I’ve seen it too many times—beautiful shoes, bad gait. It’s awkward to watch, and I can’t help but feel secondhand embarrassment. The truth is, walking gracefully in heels isn’t something most people are born knowing how to do. It takes practice. Intention. Posture. Balance.

I learned by clomping around the house in my mom’s heels and watching Naomi Campbell float down the runway like she was born in six-inch stilettos. Naomi—arguably the best walker in supermodel history—was my blueprint. Every step, every sway, every moment of poise was a masterclass in confidence.

For those who want the real-deal coaching, this class offered by luxury shoe brand Maison Ernest runs around €100. But if that’s out of reach, don’t worry—YouTube has your back. Search up Miss J. Alexander (yes, that Miss Jay from America’s Next Top Model) and prepare to take notes. He will break it down, heel to toe, with flair and expert advice that’s equal parts fabulous and functional.

Because here’s the thing: walking in heels isn’t about pain or suffering. It’s about control, elegance, and power. It’s a strut, not a stumble.

So whether you're taking the exclusive class, following Naomi clips frame by frame, or letting Miss Jay school you for free—do the work. Your ankles (and your dignity) will thank you.

Toe the Line: Jeffrey Campbell’s Stiletto Statement

T-strap leather stilettos with an embossed toe detail by Jeffrey Campbell are, in a word, ridiculous—and I absolutely need them! Known for his cheeky, offbeat designs, Jeffrey Campbell doesn’t disappoint with this sculptural stiletto that dares to trace the full contour of the toes. It’s a playful nod to anatomy, elegance, and audacity all at once. Available in rich caramel, deep mocha, and classic black, this silhouette is the most exciting shoe profile I’ve seen in a while. Somehow, they’re both neutral and a statement piece. The perfect pair to edge up a vintage dress or add an unexpected twist to minimalist tailoring. At $195, they’re a bold splurge—and worth every cent.

Golden Idol

If you ever wondered what Wonder Woman might wear poolside, look no further. Fit for a Themysciran, this Norma Kamali Golden Goddess bikini can only be rocked by a true Glamour Girl. More of a tankini, the top and bottom are separate pieces.  The only accessories needed for this showstopper are killer shades and a pair of bejeweled mules to complete the look. ($205)
