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.

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.

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

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

Farewell Drinks at Soul Gastrolounge

Hi Shoe Fans!  Our brand rep from Dereon stopped by our Heels.com Headquarters earlier this week and we grabbed some adorable new styles for this Fall that we just can’t wait to show you.

First up is this eye-catching, sequin, ankle boot in 4 colors.  The small rectangular sequins not only allow maximum shine but also provide a fun texture to this shoe.

If you love the sequins but don’t want a boot, we also snagged some amazing pumps in 3 different colors.

It seems to me that the quality of Dereon footwear keeps improving and this shoe is defiantly proof of that.  The quilting and applique work on these pumps is solid.

I was also pleasantly surprised to see some cute spectator designs in several color combinations.  I am in love with the Black & White style.

This Pink Suede Pump has the funkiest Snakeskin accents and ankle straps.  Very Cool!

This Snakeskin pump will be available in 4 hottt colors.  The Red version is my personal favorite.

This versatile boot comes in gray, black, and brown (not pictured).  As you can see, the zipper trend is definitely sticking around for next season.

If you are craving a more eccentric ankle boot style you might like this 2-Tone design with laces and gold hardware.

We predict this last look to be a super seller! With the faux lamb’s wool lining that will keep you warm and the rich shades of brown in this heel, you will never want to take these off!

Hey Shoe Fans!  I think it is safe to say that awards season is in full swing.  With the Critics Choice Awards & Golden Globes a few weeks ago and then the SAG Awards this past weekend, our favorite movies of the year are raking in the statues by the truckload.  I’ve taken some time to choose a few Award Winning Movie Inspired Shoes that I think you will like.

First up is one of my personal favorite movies of the year, Black Swan.  Natalie Portman has swept all 3 major awards shows in the favorite actress category thus far and is favored to take home the Academy Award for her portrayal of the neurotic Ballerina, Nina Sayers.

If you can’t get enough of her demented dancer look, I suggest you try these:

Black Tulle Platform Fifi Sandals from Steve Madden

There is no denying the impact that www.Facebook.com has on our daily lives.  I will even post a link to this blog on Facebook when it is finished (like I always do).  And of course this year’s movie about Facebook was a monster hit with fans and nominating committees alike.  The Social Network tells the story of its inception.

Facebook is known for its simple, classic, blue logo.  If you are searching for the same thing in your footwear, take a look at these:

Navy Suede Embellished Platform Pumps from Paris Hilton

I have to admit when I first saw previews of The Fighter, I thought it would be a typical guy-sports movie that I wouldn’t really care for.  I am so glad that my best male friend convinced me to see it with him selling me on the fact that I could stare at Mark Wahlberg shirtless for the better part of two hours.  I am happy to say that I had this film pegged all wrong and I enjoyed watching the plot unfold (as well as the muscles) very much.

If you want to Knock-Out the fashion competition with some boxing glove footwear, lace up these:

Distressed Grey Side Saddle Booties from Not Rated

One film that is still on my list to watch before the Oscars roll around is The King’s Speech.  Colin Firth‘s performance as King George VI has earned him Best Leading Actor accolades in the first 3 major award shows of the season so of course he is a favorite to take home the Academy Award as well.

If you are searching for footwear that is worthy of the Royal Family a la 1939, you must take a look at these:

Lacey Chestnut Black Mapple Pumps from Pour La Victoire

The re-make of classic cowboy/western True Grit has brought this genre back to life.  Breakout star Hailee Steinfeld is fierce in this film as she tries to avenge her father’s death.  I predict a bright future ahead for this shining new star.

If you need a rugged boot that is still sleek and fashionable, you have to get your hands on these:

Leather Charcoal 15R Harness Boots from Frye

Hi there Shoe Fans!  Let’s dive into my last 3 dance shoe styles.  These are guaranteed to give you “Happy Feet.”

I know a lot of people say that Disco is dead.  Even though the music can be kinda corny the Dance style is still funky fresh.  Who wouldn’t want to do “The Hustle” in these?

Silver Very Fine Latin/Rhythm Signature Series 2804 Ballroom Shoes

Keep your Saturday Night Fever Strut going strong on the sidewalk in these

Pewter Platform Swaggaa Shoes from Eight2Six

Hip-Hop is not only the youngest but the fastest evolving dance form created in the USA.  When compared to other classical forms that have been around for hundreds of years, this urban street dance style has sky-rocketed to popularity.  I dare you not to Pop n’ Lock with these on your feet.

Metallic Purple Fierce Boots with Buckle from Punkrose

Get totally Crunk and Buck in these

Black Faux Suede Single D Slouch Boots with Buckle from Not Rated

If you like a dance style that is a perfect mixture of timeless elegance and sultry fun then the Foxtrot is for you.  With a 4/4 time signature and close Tango body positions, this up-beat classical ballroom style is a marriage of both worlds.  Why not take a spin on the dance floor in these?

Black Satin Star Heel from Luichiny

Hey Shoe Fans!   I’ve got three more dance inspired shoes styles for you on this lovely Tuesday.  Let’s check them out!

Broadway and Musical Theater numbers hold a special place in my heart.  Hearing a classic tune to an old movie or stage production can magically transport you back to a memorable place and time.  Take a look at this shoe that is used in the most recent Broadway production of 42nd Street.

Leather T-Strap 2-Toned Capezio Lido

You are sure to be a Star of the Great White Way in these.

Gold Leather T-Strap Zyla Pumps with Double Buckle from Modern Vintage

The Cha-Cha-Cha style of Latin Ballroom dance is easily the most fun and pretty easy to learn in my opinion.  With a 4/4 time signature and syncopated rhythms it is also very recognizable.  The perfect amount of flirty-ness and flair are hard to deny while cutting a rug in these.

Metallic 3″ Capezio Latina

There is no doubt that these will also keep you on your toes.

Silver Strappy Sicily Sandals from Hale Bob

Coming in at a very close 2nd, of my favorite style of dance to perform, is Jazz.  Whether it is character driven or super stylized, there is such a wide range of Jazzy interpretations under this genre umbrella that are too much fun.  This sleek and sexy Jazz shoe is perfect for any cool cat.

Black Leather “E” Series Capezio Jazz Oxford

I dare you not to have “Jazz Hands” when you feast your eyes on these

Black Leather Wing-Tip Tuxxedo Flats from Steve Madden

Hi Shoe Fans!  Are you ready for some more dance inspired shoe fashion?  Let’s take a look at three more examples.

The Waltz is one of the most recognizable Classical Ballroom styles.  With it’s sweeping movements, closed hold position, and easy to count 3/4 time signature it is the epitome of elegance.  Like other Classical Ballroom styles, most dancers wear closed toe pump shoes like these.

White Satin Very Fine Shoes Standard/Smooth- Competitive Dancer CD5027M

Keep the Spring in your step outside the dance studio in these.

Black Satin Closed Toe Carlo Heel Pumps from Badgley Mischka

One of my new favorite Sunday night shows is “Boardwalk Empire.”  Watching all of the gorgeous flapper fashions from the 1920′s makes me wanna do the Charleston.  If you get the urge to bust a vintage dance move a’la the Roaring 20′s I recommend these.

Black Leather Very Fine Shoes Standard/Smooth- C Series C6819

Keep your Speakeasy Spirit going strong today with these.

Wine Patent Leather T-Strap Glaze Maryjane Heels from Me Too

There is no denying that the sexy Latin Ballroom dances are a great way to burn calories.  The passionate fire of the Salsa is so entertaining to watch and even more fun to actually do.  If this sounds like your idea of a good time, you will need some dance shoes like these.

Black Leather Capezio Sofia 2.5 (BR 24)

Keep that Salsa Sizzle in your everyday look with these.

Black Satin Strappy Willy Heels from Chinese Laundry

This week Luichiny stopped by Heels.com to show us the newest and hottest styles & I just had to show you some of these beauties before they arrive!

This gorgeous suede pump is candy apple red & has a nice sized platform to add support.

This edgy pump is very similar to the Fanta See but this time Luichiny added chains instead of studs and this hot pink hue is perfection.

Every girl needs a little glitter in her life and we just couldn’t resist this multi-colored gem of a heel. Hello, New Year’s Eve! Look for these styles in the next few months. Happy Heel Hunting!
