In today’s unsettled financial market, one day it’s up and the next it’s down. Research has said that the less money in the economy, the higher the heel gets. The taller, the better for us shorter folks. Looks like a gain to me!

One trend that is definitely up is towering heel heights. By the looks of the passed week’s runways, they are here to stay. At least for another season. One major show that caught my eye was the late Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2010 RTW collection. The animalistic attire was something out of Africa. McQueen’s colorful frocks boasted abstract images of wild animals and unusual prints. The shoes are what grabbed my attention the most. Have you seen these things yet!

For those of you that know his work, the talented McQueen is known for his outlandish yet savvy take on style, but this tops it all. This shoe, if you will, is the most animal-like of the entire collection. I’ve heard it been called the Armadillo, although I’m not for certain what they are calling this.

Lindsay and I attended our bi-annual shoe show this past weekend and platforms on anything was a must. Heels, boots, sandals and wedges.

While at the show, we ran into this little number, by Jessica Simpson, that reminded us of the Alexander McQueen shoe in his shows. Now this may not look anything like his shoe, but it turned out to be our inspiration for the real world wardrobe.

There are no girly frills on this shoe. But it’s not missing any of the bells and whistles. Complete with leather straps and a sky-high platform, you can easily be taller in a flash. I have to admit, these shoes were a little intimidating, but these could really look great. Pair them with your favorite cropped skinny jeans and a statement necklace or maybe even a moto-inspired jacket.

Here is another wedge by Jessica Simpson that we found magnetic. The jute covered bottom is a nice accompaniment to the braided leather straps. This silhouette is popular now. For fall, Jessica has put it on this wedge bottom for the extra lift we all crave.

Sadly, we don’t know the style names of these shoes yet, but styles like these should be arriving in July or August. So keep an eye out!

What do you think of these crazy high platforms?

Okay Ladies, the long awaited update to the infamous Jessica Simpson Alan boot is here!

Keeping with the same shape as the orginal, the updated Jessica Simpson Abilene cowboy boot has a few extra special touches. The shaft of the boot in adorned with an intricate laser cut pattern and studs were added to give it a little bit of an edge. But don’t worry,  the designers have kept this boot true to Jessica’s style, the cowboy boot.

This boot has not been uploaded on the site yet, but we promise, it’s coming soon! We’ll be sure to update this post as soon as its up!

Also from Jessica Simpson,  the Tulip boot uses the same shape and style of the previous Jessica Simpson Yana boot, only this year, the leather is not distresed and the color choices have changed.

Due to upload soon are these georgeous boots, just in time for Fall!

Hosana by Jessica Simpson is one of my favorites. It’s the perfect height heel and shaft to wear this boot with skinny jeans or a dress. The rich chestnut color makes it easy to transition from day to night.

Another one of  my absolute favorites is the Wendall knee boot by DV by Dolce Vita. This boot is not getting the attention it deserves! Ladies, this boot is truly stunning. This looker comes complete with leather soles and fantastic quality leather. It’s a great opportunity to buy an expensive looking boot for a great price. Don’t hesitate on this one ladies, it is sure to please!

Which boots are your favorites?

The Sex and the City Manolo Blahnik Something Blue heel that you all went crazy for in the movie and in the original blog post we wrote about it just came in stock!! While it’s not up on the website yet, it should be in the next week! I will send out emails to those of you who asked about it as soon as its up on the site – or maybe the day I know it’s going up :)

The Martinez Valero Zenith heel is a totally gorgeous shoe! The blue satin is perfection, the vamp embellishment is so decadent, and it even has a padded section for the ball of your foot for comfort! We love it!

We recently met with our Report Signature rep, and she had some really great stuff to show us. Report Signature is a personal favorite of mine – I just love their unique and luxe looks. Everything is super high and super sexy. I wish they could all be mine!

This is the Report Signature Durant in Black. We also got it in leopard (which you can see in the background) and nude. We actually just received the leopard and black today – so be expecting it on the site verrry soon! I personally can’t wait for the nude – I might need to have it!

We also should have all these coming in soon. The ankle boots with the intense straps and cut-outs are so great for that trendy look for winter. Although, I wonder if those cut-outs will make your feet cold! Kinda reminds me of Suleika’s last post about shoes that are not quite boots not not really sandals either! The pumps with the cool details I really love. They are the perfect combo of lady-like and punk rock – how can you resist?

Today we met with our Report rep and we saw some really cute shoes that will be great for Fall. We ordered a bunch, but the stand out of the group was definitely this great suede boot with faux-fur trim. You can wear this boot in many different ways because the whole boot is lined with faux-fur. It’s super comfy too! I know it’s hard to think about putting on fur-lined boots with the temps soaring here but it’s such a great boot – definitely a stylish fUgg alternative!

What do you think?

You can wear it high at the knee…

Or partially cuffed with a little fur showing…

Or turned all the way down for a cool look with some leggings or skinnies.

This boot is called the Meloni boot and we should be receiving it in several different colors (grey, black, tan…) starting 8/15. This boot will retail for approximately $75 – a pretty great deal if you ask me!

Earlier this week, we received one of the largest shipments EVER here at heels.com. With 50+ boxes, we got an array of different brands like Paris Hilton, Chinese Laundry and Dereon.

The designers at Paris Hilton have, in a way, reinvented their shoes. Cutesy and feminine styles, accented by the brands signature pink bottom, leads the way to bigger and better things.

Of course, we love Chinese Laundry (so do our customers). Great news: we added more styles to our pack! The new styles are strappy and metallic and made of a soft animal-friendly material.

P.S. The ever so popular Dereon Fantasy heel is back, get a pair while they last.

It is almost that time again, wedding season is right around the corner.  After my wedding in November (above), I looked and looked for the perfect shoe for my beach wedding and came to realize that there is a lack of wedding shoes in this industry.  Well, cute wedding shoes anyway!  I finally decided on an embellished pair of thong sandals from Charles David – the Starlite (no longer available).

Other brides are not as lucky as I am to have the pick of thousands of shoes, so being the great buyer I am I went out on the search for the most stylish, fabulous wedding shoes on the market.  One of the top wedding brands on my list is Martinez Valero.  Take a look at some of my favorites:

What do you think?

I know we’ve been doing a lot of previews recently… but we’ve been seeing tons of new shoes for spring! We met with the rep for Chinese Laundry – always hot and great prices – and we really loved their shoes! We can’t wait until they come in!!

Some of our favorites below:

Luichiny is a really fun, youthful brand that has great shoes – some are beautiful and formal while others are funky or trendy. Our sales rep for Luichiny came the other day and we really loved the stuff he had for us – a lot of them reminded us of a certain Luichiny shoe that was very popular here – the Rada sandal.

We were really impressed with the new Dereon shoes – very high quality compared to what we were seeing before.

We tried a bunch on and picked some good ones…
