THE daily chronicle SHOW

paris-born sculptor roger vivier, fled to new york during the german invasion of paris then later returned to his hometown and worked under the wings of the late christian dior and yves saint laurent. he pioneered the shocking (at that time) stiletto and platform shoes. his innovative shoe designs earned him the title “heel king”. taking it further, he also first introduced the thigh high boots - a clearly unacceptable footwear during those times - yet his shoes were true objects d’ art and are currently housed in the world’s most prominent art museums.

his collections are sought after by celebrities and even true-blue royalty queens, the manolo and choo should give way to the true king of shoe!

this weekend, the hubs and i are flying to sunny arizona for a short trip coinciding with his conference. i am the designated companion once again that has nothing better to do than to go to the hotel’s gym or lounge poolside with a drink.

i am excited since the last trip planned to NY the past april was once again foiled due to some unforeseen sad events. last september’s plan to navigate the big apple was also cancelled due to the hurricane that chose to cross our path. nevertheless, this weekend get-away seems to excite me and i’m hoping that this is a worthwhile trip however short.

flights to and from destination will be made comfortable with some of my few travel essentials :
