Bright, bold and edgy. That’s what you’ll find in our latest addition to the Heels.com family, Iron Fist. It’s the only time we’ll allow you to say, “Hey – check out my Iron Fist Pump!” Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way…let’s talk shoes.

Our Iron Fist love affair kicked off just a few weeks ago when we showed you this lovely nautical -inspired style on Facebook and Twitter, we received rave reviews from you – our fans and followers.

We just had to see more from the makers of this lovely shoe and we were not disappointed.  Our buyer could not get enough of the tattoo art – inspired styles from the brand. With dozens of heels to choose from, we selected the boldest looks we know you will love.

The Iron Fist brand was launched back in 2001 by two friends from South Africa who wanted to translate street culture and art into fashion.  All of the brand’s shoes are made from animal-friendly material. Priced at under $75 a pair, they’re wallet-friendly too. Look for Iron Fist Shoes on Heels.com in September. Happy Heel Hunting!

It’s not very often we see famous faces inside our Heels.com warehouse in Charlotte, NC but this week, Model/Actress turned Shoe Designer Lauren Jones made a stop and brought along some gorgeous friends.  Some were flashy, bright and sexy…we’re talking shoes!

What we really liked about Lauren is that she’s not just the face of the brand, she’s involved in the design of every style and even met with our buyer.  We’re really excited to announce this hot, new brand will be a part of our Heels.com family. Look for Lauren Jones Shoes on our site in October. We know you will love them!

Lauren says her shoes are for the girly girl who loves fashion, the red carpet and is style savvy.  The line is priced from $69 to $129 so a girl doesn’t have to break the bank to look fabulous, circa SJP on Sex and the City.

One of our favorite styles from the Lauren Jones collection was this glittery, nude peep toe pump with a double platform. Lauren was wearing this style in nude satin when she came for her visit. This sexy stiletto will be available on our site in December.

Lauren’s line also offers glam choices for the bride who wants to stand out. This gemstone embellished bridal shoe will hit our shelves in October. Happy Heel Hunting!

Whether you’re celebrating Independence Day with a backyard bbq, lakeside on a blanket or with glamorous yacht party, it never hurts to show a little patriotism with your foot wear. Luckily – red, white and blue are great colors to show off during these hot Summer months. Here are some of my favorite American flag-inspired styles. Happy 4th of July everyone!

There are few places I wouldn’t wear heels – places like on the side of a mountain rock climbing, sightseeing and hiking…though I have attempted wearing heels during the latter, but that’s another story.

So, with pool season hot and heavy, this is a great time to address a Summer fashion conundrum: wearing heels at the pool. Is it a do or a don’t?

We all know heels lengthen your legs and make you appear leaner but wearing them to the pool might be a bit too much. Swimsuit models in catalogs wear heels to enhance their looks and showcase the suit but can we all agree they look a little ridiculous half naked wearing 4 1/2 inch stilettos?

Unless you’re in LA, filming a pornography or are a stripper, leave the 4 inchers at home.  But if you insist on being elevated while wearing your swimsuit, I recommend a modest wedge. What are your thoughts on the subject? Do you wear heels to the pool?

Below are some of my suggestions for pool side footwear. But don’t put too much thought into your choice, you’ll end up kicking your shoes off anyway. Happy Heel Hunting.

When I go out, the shoes need to be as high as they can be. I love ‘big girl’ shoes that are five-inches tall. Just a black platform is the best! – Lauren Conrad

It’s really hard to walk in a single woman’s shoes — that’s why you sometimes need really special shoes!” – Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City

From the very first episode of Sex and the City I watched back in high school to today…it’s been a long love affair, from the fashion to the friendships and the S-E-X.

Through college, my Saturday night ritual always included watching DVD episodes of the series after bar hopping with my friends and a microwave frozen dinner was always part of the late night experience.  The girls were there through my heartaches and triumphs and have stayed with me ever since.

When the first SATC movie was released two years ago, I celebrated by hosting a cocktail party and watched the movie with my closest friends.

This year, I’ll be attending The Official SATC 2 Prescreening Event with the Heels.com crew and special guests in Charlotte. (I have to confess: I’ll also be watching it again on Thursday, what can I say? I’m a junkie!) I’ll be sure to post pictures of both my viewing experiences.

I’ve tried to avoid movie spoilers but have tuned into a lot of the pre-movie coverage from the Today Show and of course I’ve watched the trailer about 1,000 times!  This site has posted a lot of great SATC 2 coverage for the past year and it’s been a great resource.

I’m really excited about the SATC 2 soundtrack that will be released tomorrow, here’s a sneak peek from Alicia Keys. You know I’ll be blasting these tunes all the way up to show time!

If you’re a fanatic like me, then you simply must visit these fun sites and resources related to the movie to get your fix before the official release:
