License for High Heels

I just returned from a glorious weekend in my favorite town – Carmel-by-the-Sea.

An artist’s enclave, I was charmed by the storybook cottages, many galleries, and dog friendly shops and restaurants.

But the highlight of my trip – the ultimate chick lit lover’s souvenir.

A high heel shoes permit! Though many people think it’s a myth, Carmel-by-the-Sea bans ladies from wearing high heels. So to strut in your Louboutins, you must get a permit. I strolled into City Hall and the lovely City Clerk took my driver’s license.

I think I’ll frame it!
