A wise person once told me if you can mix the things you love into your work, then you will hold the key to happiness.

Shoes have been a life long passion for me. Ever since I set eyes on my mother’s black plain pumps she wore to work, I was mesmerized. “How do you walk in those shoes,” I would ask. And each time I tried, I would fall flat on my face. Then, when I got my first pair of 2 inch heels in seventh grade, I was hooked.

It’s been an endless love affair ever since. Though my styles have changed, my passion for shoes has not.

After years of working in the television news broadcasting industry, I am focusing my talents on creating new and exciting video projects on Heels.com. From features on the latest and greatest heel styles to video blogs on Heels.com happenings, we’ll be celebrating shoes and you… the women who wear them.

So stay tuned and Happy Heel Hunting!

It’s been SUPER busy here at Heels.com.

We’ve been getting tons of new shoes in, buying even more, and on top of all that we are about to launch a brand new version of Heels.com!

We’re really, really excited about the new site – its going to have tons of new features and a new, easier to use look. We can’t wait!!

It should be *fingers crossed* launching soon!! I’m attaching a screen capture for a quick preview below – click for bigger!

It’s a footer… get it… haha

The new feature that we are the MOST proud of is our new video content! We have videos for every shoe like below:

You might also notice some other new features… the price drop alert and the size availability alert buttons – really helpful!

Last, but definitely not least, we made a few little changes to our navigation:

There are also tons of backend upgrades that should make the whole experience smoother – like letting your browser back button work and many other things. We are super excited – but, what do you think?!

Everyone around the office knows I’m so in love with my new BCBGirls Petler boots in black - I wear them almost everyday!!

We have also really been loving the Shoe Girl’s new feature where she shows what shoes she wears everyday with what outfit – very interesting! So we thought we will start doing something similar here!

As usual, I’m wearing my Petler boots… they are so great because they go with pretty much everything, keep my tootsies warm and dry, and are super comfortable with their small wedge! They also remind me a lot of a certain Loeffler Randall boot that I had been lusting over for a long while…

Dress – Forever21, no longer available, belt – Forever21, leggings – AA, boots – BCBGirls Petler

Tons and tons of new shoes!!

Happy Birthday Lil’ Linda!

Last week was lovely Linda’s birthday – we’re not gonna tell you which one! All of Linda’s friends got together for some wine and dinner – of course everyone was wearing cute shoes!!

So in case you didn’t get it from the last post – this week we have been seriously overwhelmed with new shoes from Jessica Simpson, LAMB, Guess, Frye and sooo many others! We wanted to take pictures to give y’all a preview but there is just so much going on we don’t really have time!

Here I am trying to sort all the shoes and describe them all…

My new new shoes from Jessica Simpson – the Mowin pump in tan – I love them!!

Laurie putting some shoes up and laughing at me making faces at her:

We should be uploading most of our new Jessica Simpsons first thing tomorrow morning and then the new LAMBs will upload on Tuesday approximately.

Sorry for the lack of posting – we promise to be back soon with tons to post about! We’ve been swamped by new shoes!!

Guess what! It’s another post about Frye!

We just got a huge shipment of Frye shoes in! When we get Frye they don’t send the shoes in case packs (same style, same box, you get the idea), instead they send different styles in every box. They don’t even send all the shoes in the same shipment, so we won’t even get a full run (all sizes, usually 6-10) for most of the shoes. Some of the styles we recieved only had size 8.5+! So we have to go through and sort them all and take inventory before we can input them.

We love trying the new shoes on when we first get them! We love this Olive colored Harness boot!

We also love this wedge called the Gretta 2 Piece – very comfortable!

Our CEO Eric, Laurie, and me working hard!

My best friend Ellee moved from San Diego in October 07′ to help me fulfill my dream here at Heels.com.  Ellee has been with the company from the begining and has had the opportunity to see it grow into something big.  It has been such a pleasure having my best friend by my side through everything.  She has done such a wonderful job!

Ellee recently announced that she will be moving to Hawaii to fulfill her dreams of traveling the world.  She is so admirable and free spirited.  Ellee will be missed and all of us here at heels.com wish her the best of luck!       

As we’ve mentioned before we are in love with the LAMB Sydney (especially in red!) and we are also unfortunately sold out here :( 

Well, we are expecting huge shipments of new shoes coming in soon (we can’t wait!! more posts about those to come…) and we were lucky enough to snag the last few pairs of these shoes that exist from Titan. We’re getting in about 6 pairs some time this week – and I know one pair has my name on it! Linda already has a pair, as do all of her friends and it just kills me every time I see them wearing the Sydneys! Must have!

This shoe just looks fabulous with everything from jeans and a white tee to your stand-by LBD or even a more busy outfit… just perfect! And the shape of the shoe is just so sexy… the heel and slingback and peep-toe with that perfectly done rose with zipper trim! I just can’t get enough – if you can’t tell!

These shoes are a knockout!

Hi everyone and welcome to our brand new blog – Heels and the Queen City. Here at Heels.com we thought it would be great for you to be able to get to know us better and take a peek into our day to day operations selling womens shoes.

As you may or may not know, we aren’t a huge corporation like Zappos or Endless. We are a close-knit family here and we all try to contribute everything we can. We all answer the phones and send emails, pull and ship the orders, and even take out the trash and sweep the floors! Of course, we all have specific duties too, and you can check out more about each of us on our biographies.

We plan on posting all types of different things related to shoes – including but not limited to: reviews of different shoes, our favorite new shoes, changes here at Heels.com, celeb shoe styles we love, and so on…!

Please bear with us while we tidy up around our new blog and make it pretty, we are really excited about it!

And… we really love the Report Signature Masonic, pictured above.
