I pretty much wear high heels everyday at work, if I decide to hit the shops on a Thursday evening for some late night retail therapy I usually chuck on a pair of flats that I leave in the car. This means my high heels sometimes spend a few weeks hiding in the back seat of my car - not ideal for two reasons:
1. A pair of my babies are not available for the morning choice session when I run out of the door at 7:55am.
2. The following can happen :O
I was so surprised to see these on the back seat of my car with the sole almost completely off. We have had a lot of humid and hot days lately so it must have been the temperature in my car that forced this to happen.
It made me think about the deeply sad occurrences of sleep deprived mothers and fathers accidentally leaving their most prized possessions in their car....their children.
Look what the heat did to my shoe!!! Let alone a little child.
I have a small suggestion for Mothers and Fathers of young children. Leave the left shoe you are wearing in the back seat of your car when you are driving, forcing you to open the back door of your car to retrieve it prior to running your errands and hopefully in the process noticing your child. I know it might be cumbersome on your already crazy busy schedule of raising children, but it could save a life.
I do not know the ins and out of laws surrounding footwear when driving, or how this suggestion could work for manual drivers. I just thought there had to be something that both women and men have on their person on a daily basis when driving that could act as the lifesaver. A shoe it is.
Do you have a ritual to remind yourself in cases like this?

PS I do not have children, this is only my opinion and a suggestion :)
A few months ago I became aware of a Central Coast of NSW stockist of Ramarim heels - hooray! - called "Inner Souls", check out their Facebook here and their website here.
I went there immediately to check them out, the shoe boutique is located in the Beach side suburb of Terrigal. Due to the location being so close to the beach, they tend to stock summery flats and wedges, fair enough, but my passion for Ramarim so far has been directed towards their stunning high heels, so nothing grabbed me on that first visit.
I gave the shop a like on Facebook though, and have kept my eye on their new products and their sales and the below caught my eye last week. I immediately contacted them (as you can see) to find out if the Ramarims I had my eye on were on sale and they were!!! Yay!!
Today we went to visit Inner Souls and I was so pleased to find that they hadn't sold the wedges I was interested in trying on. They fit perfectly, looked great and because they were Ramarims they were extremely comfortable.
I would like to welcome the newest addition to my Ramarim collection - what do you think?
While I was at the store, I spoke to Susan the very friendly owner. Susan showed me some of the shoes she had coming in for Ramarim winter and they look very nice. Further, Susan mentioned that if there were any Ramarims that I liked but she didn't stock she would look at trying to get them in! To top off the visit, Susan's 2IC is her dog Oliver, he is very cute and loves visitors, so please drop by if you are in the area and grab youself a summer bargain!!!
