Michele,
I believe that the sandals you are talking about are the new high heeled sandals from Gilu’. They are gold in color, composed of laminated leather, and the average cost of the sandals, around $122.00, won’t put too much of a dent in your wallet...
The high heeled sandal is formed with a buckling ankle belt closure and leather sole. I’m sure that you can find them in a specialty store or on the internet at yoox.com. I have no doubt that you’ll look marvelous with those sandals lavished across your feet.
Hope that helps Michele and best of luck with the spring shopping extravaganza!

There is always a certain allure of desiring that which we cannot have. Case and point your question, “Please,” although your situation comes with a bit of a twist. I know this may not be want you want to hear, but I think you need to let your feelings for this guy fall by the wayside for the time being... Think about it, without allowing your carnal desires to persuade your actions.

If you were to act on impulse and pursue this guy, you would be giving up the trusting relationship you have already created with your best friend. Don’t forget that your best friend has stood by you and at one point even may of had the same feelings as you do right now, but never acted on them. Imagine the devastation your best friend would feel if she was betrayed by the two people closest to her heart.

For the time being, if you can’t get him out of your head, than at least put your feelings on the back burner and go out and meet other guys.

Who knows, down the road the future is wide open and anything is possible, but for the time being I think you should lay those thoughts to rest.

I think the answer to this question, Sol, is simpler than you are making it out to be. If you can’t trust your friends to keep the secret, which makes me wonder what kind of friends they are to begin with, then don’t tell them....

Your friends should be the people you count on in times of crisis or when you need advice. You shouldn’t have to worry that they are going to divulge your secrets. If you were going to tell them about your crush in order to get some advice, then don’t bother. The benefits are most definitely outweighed by the negatives.

Don’t get me wrong, friends just wouldn’t be friends if they didn’t razz you over funny mishaps, but there is no need for them to reveal personal matters of the heart.

I say you make your move without going to your friends for their approval. After all, reverse the roles, would you go public to the people with whom your friends are interested in? I thought not…

One of the quickest ways to tell if a person is interested in you is through body language. If you are catching him constantly looking at you, then chemistry is in the air, Stellah... Men don’t typically look at objects which displease them, so I’m guessing your guy likes what he sees in you.

The next time you catch him looking at you, I want you to stare back into his eyes until he looks away, then I want you to approach him and strike up casual conversation. I can guarantee he will blush and smile when you start talking so keep the conversation light and funny. You should feel very confident Stellah, this guy is obviously attracted to you. I’m guessing though that he is intimidated by your looks, since he has not already approached you, so you’re going to have to make the first move. After you pass the initial physical aspects of attraction, you will be able to determine if your crush is more than just a crush. Cheers to you Stellah…

I have found throughout my many life experiences that if you’re not happy with where you are in life, then find what makes you happy and pursue it. Life is too short to let our dreams fall by the way side...

My mother once told me that passion is essential for success in any line of work whether it be a CEO, a fire fighter, or an entertainer. Passion will drive and motivate you to pursue your dreams. Too often people put their dreams aside for the comfort of a daily routine. I for one have found myself caught up in the rat race of life, but my dreams are what have inspired me to be where I am today.

If you believe this is just a passing fancy, then I would ask you to lay it to rest, lest you get your heart broken. This means that before you go and book the plane ticket, Michele, you must know that it is an arduous and often frustrating task of becoming an entertainer, let alone a singer actress, so plan accordingly.

First get your headshots done, then find a way into the Screen Actors Guild, and finally hire an agent. Many aspiring artists go off to Hollywood and become members of the service industry, such as a bartender, in order to make the right connections.

What I can tell you for certain, Michele, is to find what makes you unique and run with it. There are too many dreamers out there that always want to be, but never act, so be sure that you’re ready to take the leap. If you’re truly committed to pursuing your dream than I say go for it! Best of luck Michele...

It’s always nice to have a crush…isn’t it Prescilla? Every time you see him your stomach jolts with hot lightning strikes of nervous jitters. Your heart races a million miles a second and every breath seems so shallow you wonder if you’re going to hyperventilate.
It seems Ryan has taken a firm grasp on your heart Prescilla, and unless he’s wearing a ring on his finger you definitely have a chance to impress him.
The one way to know if he is interested in you is to talk to him... Don’t be afraid to ask him questions. If he answers a simple question with a detailed story that sounds like an excerpt from a Dicken’s novel, then he is probably interested in sharing some of his personal life with you (sharing is always a good sign). Furthermore if he starts asking you questions, it shows that he is definitely interested in you.
Yet, I don’t want you to stray away from being yourself once you get the opportunity to strike up the conversation. Don’t get me wrong, we all embellish, but lying will only burn you in the long run.
Show him how confident you are and approach him the next chance you get. You have nothing to lose my dear Prescilla, only a Ryan to gain! -The Ambassador

Alejandra, although your flattery tickles my ego, it brings up a very good point I wish to address to my readers. Always remember that variety is the spice of life... You are you my dear! You can create your own reality, but just don’t forget to be yourself along the way.
Be proud of who you are and what makes you unique. Too often we find ourselves, myself included, dreaming of being someone else. If we were all alike, then life would be very bland.
Don’t get me wrong, it is good to have role models, but it is not healthy to obsess over being someone who you are not. Nobody is perfect, so take the positive aspects of a person’s character and build on them.
Alejandra, at the end of the day we have to look ourselves in the mirror and like what we see, inside and out.

O.k. Donika I want you to take a couple of deep breaths and find someone you can talk to in person…immediately. Whether it be a good friend, a family member, or a therapist you need to talk to someone if you are crying all day and feeling alone... This boy, regardless of your love for him, is not worth your extreme unhappiness.
I am glad that you are hanging out with your friends and think that you should just go out with your friends to just have fun, and not solely to see this boy.
Also, by any chance, have you ever tried telling this boy how you feel? I would hate to see you so upset over a boy who may feel the same way about you.
It sounds to me that you need help so that you don’t feel so lonely. A good way to do this is finding healthy outlets for your sadness such as writing or a physical activity.

Jessica, welcome to the volatile world of matchmaking. I would usually say that it can be potentially fruitless to get involved in setting two people up if you aren’t positive you can help them... Yet, in your case, you seem very confident you can bring the two together, so I will give you a few crumbs of advice.
First off, you need to speak with your girlfriend in private and tell her that you’re there to help. Tell her that she can trust you with confidentiality in regards to her feelings for this boy. Remind her that you are better friends with her than the boy, so you will do everything in your power to help her. If she still shrugs you off, which could happen, you may want to go to the boy. Subtly, and I do mean very subtly, find out how this boy feels about the girl.
If they both express potential feelings for the other, then invite them to a social event where they will both attend unbeknownst to the other. Find a way to get them talking to each other, by introducing them to one another or by hyping up both of their positive qualities and pointing them out to each other from across the room.
Alas, Jessica, don’t forget though that you’re going to be meddling in your friends’ personal lives so tread lightly as to avoid any embarrassing and often painful feelings for both parties. Best of luck and I hope you are very successful in your matchmaking…who knows; people have made a career out of much less…

This is an interesting question Maddie. I have always expressed that trust is the number one key element to a relationship; it is the building block on which a healthy relationship can be created... Just like in architecture, if your foundation is weak then the structure will eventually buckle and collapse.
Lying and creating jealousy are not healthy ways to keep the romantic buzz going and will eventually cause a parting of ways.
Playing certain positive games, on the other hand, can be fun and entertaining for both parties. You have to find a healthy medium of keeping your lover on their toes and the relationship fresh. For example, surprising your lover with a new pair of lingerie, a weekend getaway, or by simply teasing them over an article of their clothing can prevent a relationship from getting stale. I’m sure you’ll come up with your own ways to keep the excitement alive, with healthy alternatives to lying or creating jealousy.
Remember Maddie, nobody wants to be a doormat, but no one wants to date a drama queen either.
