The best invention for any fashion-loving woman: fold-up flats for sore feet after a night of clubbing, partying or just plain standing around in killer heels.
Hailey Coleman, a student at Ted Rogers School of Management was given a prize for her product Damn Heels, black roll-up flats that come in their own pouch and are small enough to fit in a purse.
I knew that this type of product was available in the U.S. but it was not until today that I knew these wonderful shoes were available in Canada.
I actually first heard the U.S. version through College Candy- there was a blurb about City Slips.
But, after seeing this Canadian option Damn Heels, I generally like them better.
They have a different type of sole and they actually look more comfortable. Even though there aren't different colour options, the Canadian ones look like they're made of a nicer material.
There's also a price difference of five dollars (City Slips are $24.99 USD and Damn Heels are $20 CAN) which can really make a difference after shipping, handling and duty costs (if ordering from the states).
And, of course, they're Canadian.

Dancing through Time
I danced at P
egasus Dance Studios for more than ten years.
I tried ballet for a few years but the rule-oriented form of dance wasn't for me.
I took tap classes and loved them.
Alana Hock taught these classes. Alana opened her own studio in Ottawa, Dance With Alana, which I hear is very successful. She was the reason I went to class, and when she left Pegasus, I left tap.
The one class I stuck with for the most time was modern dance.
Modern dance is a much more relaxed style of dance. It does not require shoes or specific clothing. Mainly, it focuses on the interpretation and expression of feelings through movement.
Janice Pomer (author of Perpetual Motion) was my dance teacher for many years. I love Janice. Dancing in her class made me feel so much more comfortable with and confident about myself.
Pegasus is open and welcoming. They do not focus on the competitive aspect of dance and that makes dancing much more satisfying.
Also, pilates classes with Briar Munro are great. They're so great actually that you forget how much work you're doing and you feel great afterwards.
Check out the Pegasus website or their blog.
