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

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.

You can “Boop Boop de Doop” all night long in these

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

I love watching awards shows and finding alternatives to expensive Celebrity shoe fashions.  This was no easy task during the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards that aired on Sunday evening.  Why you ask … because most everyone was wearing long dresses that completely hid their shoes.

For all we know, Claire Danes could have been wearing Harley Davidson Steel Toe Motorcycle Boots under her Armani Prive sequined ball gown.  Probably not but still;  Here are some amazing shoe styles that I did manage to spot on the Red Carpet.

Dancing with the Stars Co-Host Brooke Burke was simply stunning in her white strapless Mark Zunino dress with Chopard Diamonds;  The perfect compliment to the dainty sparkle on her feet.

Even though I personally think this look is a train-wreck, Lauren Graham did have some pretty cool footwear.  I am digging the gladiator-like shoe vibe that the Modern Family star is sporting.  It is pretty much the only think I like about this photo.

If you wanna strut your stuff like Lauren, I suggest these

Black Leather Strappy Dominica Sandals with Metallic Heel from L.A.M.B

While her hit TV Show The Vampire Diaries wasn’t nominated for any awards, Nina Dobrev was part of the opening “Glee-Inspired” musical number.  It has reached a record number of views on the Internet in just a few short days following the Emmy ceremony.

To score some sweet feet style like Nina, check out these

Without a doubt the most jaw-dropping dress (napkin, handkerchief, wash cloth, etc) of the evening was worn by Heidi Klum.  I’m not entirely sure she could have climbed the steps to accept the award that Project Runway was nominated for if they had won.  Nonetheless, I love the sparkles though.

If you want to walk on the wild side like Heidi, you have to get your hands on these

Black Glitter Pointed Toe Carrielee Pumps from Guess

CSI:  Miami Star Eva La Rue was definitely on trend for the evening with another white Grecian style gown with a super high slit.  Her metallic shoes add just the right amount of glitz.

Metallic Peep Toe Florina Pumps from Betsey Johnson

Hi there Shoe Fans!  The time has come for my last post about animal print shoes.  I have saved the best for last (in my opinion) with the super fun Pink Leopard pattern.  While this print isn’t actually found in nature, it is without a doubt the boldest and most daring.

If you need a Pink Leopard shoe with a cute Peep Toe, I highly recommend these

Hey there shoe fans!  While my main duties here at Heels.com consist of helping our wonderful customers on our Live Video Assistance, I have noticed which styles of shoes you guys need the most help finding.  Without a doubt, our #1 most requested style is the Black Pump.  So, I have picked out some of my favorites to share with everyone.

First up is my choice for best Low Heeled Black Pump:

Round Toe Patent Leather Ulltra Pumps by Steve Madden

My second pick is for the coolest use of Mesh in a Black Pump:

Peep Toe Alexandra Pumps with Rosette Accents from Betsey Johnson

Next I’ve selected the sleekest Black Satin Pumps.  Classy is key for these:

Even though being asked to be a Bridesmaid is an honor, we all have a small moment of sheer panic when we realize that we might end up wearing something truly hideous.  We have come a long way in wedding party fashion from those unsightly southern belle hoop-skirt nightmares from the 80′s so why shouldn’t our shoes reflect the same progression?  Ordering your Bridesmaids shoes at the same establishment you order your dress might be convenient but lets face it;  they are seriously lacking in style.  And who wants to dye shoes to match your dress (and elbow length gloves, and flowers, and table linens, etc.) to some specific color you probably won’t wear again?  These days you can make your own rules and redefine what’s conventional.  I’ve seen and heard of lots of Brides letting their wedding party pick their own style of dress and shoes as long as they stay within a particular color scheme.  I think this is a perfect way to look cohesive without sacrificing individual personality.

Love it or hate it, one tradition that rarely escapes any wedding reception is the Bouquet Toss.  While some of us would rather hide in the bathroom than be dragged to the center of the dance floor to be paraded in front of an entire guest list as “Single,” others of us with a secret (or not so secret) competitive edge relish this moment.

When I think of the Carrie Bradshaw character on Sex and the City, I think of her iconic flower look that she wore on numerous episodes of the series and the dress she donned in the SATC Movie.

Even though it’s been more than a year since the release of the movie, we’re seeing a come back in the large flower style but this time in fabulous footwear. Below are my top choices if you’re inspired by Carrie’s fashion down to your toes.

If you’re looking to unleash your wild side and still look put together, leopard print is the way to go. In recent days, we’ve received some ferocious styles that show off different versions of the animal print. Just remember, Leopard is worn best with an outfit and accessories that aren’t so growl worthy.

I can’t help but notice all the open toe boot styles popping up. These sassy shoes are not quite boots, not quite sandals. Some women seem to love them. They make a statement that says, “I like to break the rules.” Would you sport one of these sandal boot styles? Happy Heel Hunting!
