I did used to have a bit of a shoe fetish, especially dress shoes. I got hooked on this brand called Mezlan. They make absolutely gorgeous shoes that have an understated flair to them. Got lots of compliments from clients and colleagues on my shoes. But I got over that phase of my life and now have a reasonable number of shoes.
