If the shoe fits ...

You never could be convinced to buckle into those practical flats, could you? For all those girls who just can’t bear to leave their heels behind, now there’s Climbing Mountains in Stilettos: Not Your Average Trail Guide to Life (Sourcebooks, 2007; $14.95), by Ann Tinkham and Carol Brunelli. More self-help handbook than fashion bible, the book leads readers through 10 “trails” that impart life lessons on everything from relationships to body image, and, in the case of the “Double Black Diamond Challenge,” going after what you want in the bedroom and at the office (because, yes, you can have it all). Tinkham and Brunelli, who preach old-fashioned self-confidence, attempt to put a positive spin on the whole concept of the “bad girl.” With inspiring quotes from the likes of Mae West (“I used to be Snow White, but I drifted”), and Bad Girl Quizzes to keep you on the right track, the book is the perfect summer pick-me-up for Louboutin lovers everywhere. Pick up a copy at Borders (10–24 School Street, Boston, 617.557.7188).
