Hey there Shoe Fans!  During this normally joyous holiday season we have some news to announce that makes our hearts heavy.  One of our Heels.com family members is moving on to bigger and better things.

Olga & Daisy Solarte

Olga has been with Heels.com since 2009 and it has been a blessing having her be our video shoe model.  Trying on and walking in EVERY SINGLE shoe on our site is no easy task but she made it fun and entertaining (Especially when her precious pup, Daisy would come along to help!).

So cheers to you, Olga, our beloved Columbian!  We will miss you bunches and we wish you the best!!!

WE LOVE YOU OLGA!!! <3

Hey there Shoe Fans!  I love it when someone reintroduces you to a really awesome jam from back in the day that you completely forgot about.  Recently, I have been enjoying this classic Paula Abdul track thanks to a friend of mine that put it on my radar again.

Not only does this bring back all kinds of late 80′s nostalgia but it also reminds me of one of this season’s Hottest Trends, Snakeskin!  Here are some of my favorite reptile inspired footwear styles.

 

Off White Dereon Sasho Platform Pumps

 

Black Suede Block Heel Platform Justice Booties from ZiGi Girl

 

Pewter Suede Rounded Toe Code Snake Pumps from Seychelles

 

Purple Suede Wedge Jam Ming Ankle Booties from Luichiny

Hi Shoe Fans!  While Cognac can be an old man’s after dinner drink, it is also one of the hottest shoe colors of this season.   This rich brown hue is not only beautiful but also versatile as it can compliment a wide range of color schemes.  Here are a few of my favorite Cognac styles.

With less than a week to go and most Halloween parties taking place this weekend, I have some easy, no hassle costume ideas that will be a breeze to throw together at the last minute.  You can piece something together from your own wardrobe or hurry to your local costume store and scoop these up today!

First up is a Pan Am Flight attendant.  With the success of the hit new ABC series this ensemble makes a vintage idea into a new classic.

Soar to new heights in these

Seychelles Black Leather Pointed Toe Pumps

The Wizard of Oz is a cherished childhood favorite of mine.  Dorothy and her little dog, Toto, is another iconic look that comes back season after season.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road in these

Dark Red Leather Guess Pumps with Strap and Block Heel

When you think of iconic Halloween costumes, most certainly Frankenstein and His Bride come to mind.  This also might be one of the best and most popular couples costumes ever.

Do the Monster Mash all night long in these

Frakattack Peep Toe Pumps from Iron Fist

Rachel Berry from Glee is know for her signature sweaters, pleated skirts, knee socks and ballet flats.  This costume choice could be easily pieced together with items from a thrift store.

Be the Gold Star at any Halloween party with these

Mauve Glitter Toe Erna Ballet Flats from Pour La Victoire

With the recent popularity of shows like The Walking Dead (one of my new favorites) Zombie everything is super trendy at the moment.  The variety of ways to create and personify a Zombie character are endless.

It’s that time of year again Shoe Fans!  That’s right, my favorite Holiday is upon us; Halloween!  I’ve chosen some classic costumes as well as some of the trendiest ideas for this year to showcase, all with amazing shoes to match.  So if you don’t have any clue what to dress as, hopefully this can spark your inspiration.

My first choice comes directly from one of my favorite films released just after Halloween last year.  I called it almost a year ago and I anticipate seeing lots of Ballerina “Black Swan” costumes this year.

Plie, Passe, & Pirouette in this playful ensemble with these

Black Satin Ankle Strap Pumps with Ruffle Heel Detail from Betsey Johnson

My next costume pick comes from one of the most televised and widely viewed events of my lifetime.  The Royal Nuptials that took place this past Spring captivated the eyes and hearts of practically the entire planet so I anticipate seeing some Kate Middleton – Royal Bride gowns popping up this year.

Without a doubt, the perfect pump for this occasion would be these

Ivory Satin Peep Toe Kathryn Pumps with Jeweled Bow from Bourne

My third pick is a cutie patootie from before my generation.  Just because I wasn’t around when Betty Boop was the latest and greatest doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate this vintage character and the nostalgia she represents.

You can “Boop Boop de Doop” all night long in these

Red Sequin Peep Toe Stilettos from Dereon

Two years ago, around this time, Shakira released a fun party jam called “She Wolf” and I’ve toyed with the idea of dressing up as one ever since.  I haven’t yet, but with a costume as cute and ferocious as this, it is very tempting.

Baby, I’m Howling for these

Iron Fist Wolfbeater Peep Toe Pumps with Red Velvet Platform & Heel

Last but not least is another classic cartoon favorite.  I love the zebra accents in this updated Wilma Flintstone frock.
