DRESSED FOR SUCCESS

Height has always been synonymous with power, Sandra says. Working women in Margaret Thatcher's time wore killer heels to show that they could trample over anyone in their path, or smash their way through the glass ceiling.

Putting on your favourite pair of heels will make you feel a million pounds, even if you're having a bad hair or skin day.

"When you're up there, teetering high, it's impossible to feel down. Put your best foot forward and you'll change your whole demeanour."
