Girly girl or not, many women love shoes and purses. And punk rock, alternative, or rockabilly chicks are no different. People enjoy flair, and adorning themselves, no matter what their lifestyle or music choice may be.

It may sound cliche to say that "purses are a girl's best friend," but the truth is that they are important tools in many people's lives, simply because they keep us organized, and help keep all of those necessary items that we use in our day to day lives safe and accounted for.

From trinkets, to money, to cellphones, many women rely on their purse to tote everything around. You may not know how much you rely on a purse until you accidently lose one, or misplace it. Suddenly everything you usually had at hand's length is gone, and you end up searching frantically and hoping you can find your purse again!

Purses and bags do not simply have to be utilitarian. They can serve an important function, and also be a sense of pride, and lend stylish aesthetics to our wardrobe. Many people collect them, and like to have purses that go with different outfits.

This may sound really materialistic, but a lot of people work hard for their money and like to pamper themselves with a new purse every now and then. From shoulder bags to clutches, the styles and options are endless.

Every woman needs to have the perfect pair of shoes in her wardrobe. It isn't about the shoe, it is about the way they make you feel.

While feeling sexy at the end of the day comes from within, as well as a frame of mind, heels have been a longtime fashion peice that women utilize when they go out on the town, or simply want to look great.

Women are willing to do through achy feet just to sport that perfect pair of pumps! I have done it, and many other women have to. Personally, I love heels, and have accumulated a good collection over the years.

The reason I adore rockabilly or slightly retro or vintage styled heels is because they are a classic, and a good investment. The basic shoe design has stayed classy and current over the span of decades, and they will not go out of fashion. This makes them very versatile, and wearers of a great pair of retro pumps or heels can expect a long lifespan for their shoes. You can buy the pair you want, and not have to worry about looking out dated as soon as you buy them.
