Walk the Walk.

What makes Victoria's Secret Angels so sexy? No, it is not their body. (Ha! Who am I kidding? Their bodies are FANTASTIC.) But I'd have to say it's their... walk. Have you ever noticed how sexy their walk is? I have! And the great thing about their walk is that you can do it too! All you need are some cute heels and a full length mirror.

My biggest pet peeve is when girls waddle in heels. So today I am going to try to teach you how to work them heels! How high is too high? Well, I personally like to stick around the 4.5-6 inch range. Anything higher ventures into stripper heel land and we wouldn’t want to have that.

-Have a mirror up at the end of a hallway or a cleared room. Start at the opposite end of the room/hall.

-Stand up as straight as you can go! Chin up and shoulders back. (Who knew all that nagging to have good posture would actually be necessary later in life?)

-Pretend you are walking on a straight line or like you are a cat. Cats walk with one foot in front of the other, heel-toe, heel-toe. Hence, the term catwalk. If you decide walking on a straight line is a little too sexy, you may walk with your feet a little further apart... but not much!

-Take long strides. If you don’t, you will look funny. I know not everyone is blessed with mile long legs so ‘fake it til you make it.’

-Don’t bend your knees or you will look wobbly and shaky.

-Walk toward the mirror so you can see how your body moves and try to mimic a catwalk. But put your own spin on it. :)

-Secret to rocking heels? Confidence. Trust me, people will notice if you look nervous or scared. If you look like you don’t belong in the shoes, you don’t.

You can also do this in flats to add some sex appeal to your walk. If you don’t feel comfortable in 4 inch heels yet, start out with a kitten heel or a platform shoe. To wear heels all day, invest in some inserts! They are lifesavers. Also, if you get a shoe with a ‘hidden’ platform, they will be way more comfortable than shoes with a thin bottom.

There you go my future Angels! I hope this helped! Feedback is welcomed along with questions or comments. Thanks for reading guys! You are all fantastic people. :)

Love, Mika.
