If you are a <a href="http://www.heels.com">Heels.com</a> fan, you probably know that we put lots of new shoes on the website every single week. I don&#8217;t know how we keep up with all our new shoes!  You can always trust Heels.com to be there for you, picking out only the best of the best to fulfill your shoe desires. :)</p>
<p>One of my jobs at Heels.com involves describing all our new shoes. I get to take a close look at each new pair that comes in the door on its way onto our website, so I end up being pretty familiar with our newest inventory- not just what they look like, but what the shoes themselves are really like, in real life. Whether that sole is soft or firm, whether the heel really *is* that high, whether that boot will stay up or slouch down, how bright that color really is, etc. Those shoes and I are best friends by the end of the week! Sometimes I love them so much that I have trouble taking them off my desk and putting them back into inventory&#8230;</p>
<p>Since we just put a bunch more shoes up on the website, I would love to highlight two <a href="http://www.heels.com/shoes-for/party-girl">party heels</a> that really caught my eye.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/prestige-bordo.html"><img alt="" src="http://static.heels.com/images/shoes/main_view/large/ZCAR073_MAIN_LG.jpg" title="Prestige Bordo Carlos by Carlos Santana" class="alignnone" width="400" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/prestige-bordo.html">Prestige by Carlos by Carlos Santana in Bordo</a> :: I was in love with these the moment I took them out of the box. First of all, the color is simply fabulous. It&#8217;s a rich jewel tone that words like &#8220;purple&#8221; and &#8220;pink&#8221; just don&#8217;t do justice to. I love the way <a href="http://www.heels.com/shoe-brand/carlos-by-carlos-santana">Carlos by Carlos Santana</a> describes them: Bordo. These luxe heels are just perfected by the perfect ribbon detail at the vamp. This gives them a fancy, delicate touch that is just amazing. I don&#8217;t know if I have a dress in my closet that would match these in Bordo, so I might get them in black (<a href="http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/prestige-grafite.html">Prestige heel in Grafite</a>) &#8211; or I might just shop for a dress to match them. Matching the dress to the shoes &#8211; the best way to shop! :)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/extravaganza-pump-zebra.html"><img alt="" src="http://static.heels.com/images/shoes/main_view/large/ZNYL037_MAIN_LG.jpg" title="Extravaganza by N.Y.L.A." class="alignnone" width="400" /></a><br />
<a href="http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/extravaganza-pump-zebra.html">Extravaganza by N.Y.L.A. in Zebra</a> :: WOW. The picture really doesn&#8217;t do these justice. These heels are truly fabulous &#8211; the zebra pattern is in a faux fur like fabric, and the beautiful royal blue Mary Jane strap just pops out at you! I am not the only lady in the office who can&#8217;t get these party pumps out of her mind. They also come in a slightly less extravagant but equally fabulous <a href="http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/extravaganza-pump-black.html">black and red</a>. </p>

<p>We thought our set-up was pretty cute. I guess we got there a little later than we needed to cause someone took the shelf we were planning on using &#8211; but I think it turned out better for it!</p>
<p><a href="http://heelsandthequeencity.heels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/setup.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-885" title="setup" src="http://heelsandthequeencity.heels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/setup.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>

<li>the <a href="http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/senorita-blue-patent.html">Paris Hilton Senorita in Blue</a> (that I <a href="http://heelsandthequeencity.heels.com/2009/07/valentino-bow-dorsay-pump-look-a-like/">just blogged about</a>)</li>

Obviously, there are times when you should wear heels: in a professional setting, at a fancy event like prom or a party, and when going out on the town. Of course there are exceptions, but in general, these times all call for heels. However, on a day to day basis, I always think about this issue when I walk out the door.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://heelsandthequeencity.heels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/heels_sartorialist.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-842 aligncenter" title="heels_sartorialist" src="http://heelsandthequeencity.heels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/heels_sartorialist.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;font-size:60%;">Image via <a href="http://www.thesartorialist.blogspot.com/">The Sartorialist</a></p>
<p>Our office here is casual, so employees wear whatever they want. Some days it&#8217;s a fancy day, some days it&#8217;s a PJs day. But in general, we all try to dress stylishly. Well, as stylishly as you can knowing in the back of your head you might be shipping shoes, moving big boxes, or putting shoes on shevles. Cause we all do that stuff from time to time ;) Because of these duties, most of us <a href="http://heelsandthequeencity.heels.com/2009/05/golden-summer-in-golden-sandals/">usually opt for flats</a>.</p>
<p>However, I do like the boost &#8211; both physically and mentally &#8211; I get from wearing heels. It makes me feel much more put together and it makes me feel like I look hot! Also, when I wear heels I can&#8217;t just throw on my linen pants with them, I actually have to make an outfit. And if I&#8217;m doing that, I might as well spend the extra 10 minutes on hair and makeup. So that girl, all done up, looks pretty different than the one who didn&#8217;t wear heels!</p>
<p><a href="http://heelsandthequeencity.heels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ysltribshadow.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-843" title="Ysls" src="http://heelsandthequeencity.heels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ysltribshadow.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="291" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;font-size:60%;">Image via <a href="http://jakandjil.com/blog/?p=1770">Jak and Jil</a></p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m not saying that you can&#8217;t look cute and wear flats, I think it&#8217;s just more of a motivation factor for me. My solution is to always keep a spare pair of one or the other around. I do this a lot when I go out, because I never want to be that girl carrying her heels and walking barefoot (ick!) home. I simply bring a big purse and put my alternate pair in a shoe bag and throw them in there. This solution is good for work too cause if my heels just aren&#8217;t working, I can change in a jiffy. Or if we decide to grab drinks after dinner, I can just throw on my heels.</p>
<p>Another great solution is to get a really cute pair of flats; however, they just don&#8217;t have the same effect for me ;)</p>
<p>What do you think? Are heels an everyday staple for you? Or do you usually wear flats?</p>
