Happy Friday!

It feels like I’m finally catching my breath from Vegas! Took me long enough, huh?

Like Suleika, I am so excited for Fall stuff I can’t stand it! I am loving all the boots we’ve had coming in – we’ve got a lot of thigh-high styles and I know that’s what a lot of y’all are looking for – just got an email from Rachel Zoe this morning about how every girl needs a pair.

Personally though, I am just looking for a nice pair of black boots that can be semi-formal or casual. Some of my top picks:

Jessica Simpson Angie Boot

Guess Teddie Boot

And tons more on their way!

I thought it was interesting listening to industry insiders talk about thigh boots – they would say, “She has a normal boot but this style gives her a reason to get something new!”

While I do believe that the statement is true, I honestly don’t really like it. Maybe I’m just bitter because the thigh-high trend won’t work for me, but I feel like making a great classic version of a shoe every one needs is always a win-win. It’s fun to do something new and fresh, but sometimes the staple is where it’s at. I guess I’m just in a boring mood today ;)

A sign that cool weather is on the horizon – endless shipments of boots here at Heels.com. Boots are a staple for the winter wardrobe but since I’m not a cold weather gal, I don’t quite appreciate them as much as others. Below are my top picks for this Fall/Winter.

Jessica Simpson Tulip Boot in Black

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.

Jessica Simpson Ithika

Report Signature Durant

Betsey Johnson Caimile

Guess Carrie 6

I think I feel a new purchase coming on… I’m in love – and they’re comfy too!

For now they are just hanging around on my desk… waiting for their press releases, photo and video shoots! What divas…

UPDATE: Just uploaded! Guess Chief in leopard http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/chief-2-natural-multi-fab.html

When it comes to shoes worn during those hot summer months, airiness and comfort are essential. But you don’t have to sacrafice looks to wear a light feeling shoe. Just reach for one of these fresh styles when temperatures climb and you’ll sizzle too. Happy Heel Hunting!

Not Rated Childhood Memories

Harajuku Lovers Liberty

They’re bold, bright and funky. We just can’t seem to get away from neon colors. These brights have made huge debuts and comebacks in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Now…they’re back. I have a love/hate relationship with neons. They remind me of early 90’s fashion when Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer were totally cool dude. Though the latter two have faded out, neon color trends seem to have survived the test of time. And I can’t help but notice how fresh and fabulous these new bright heels are. Maybe neons will stick around a little longer this time. But if they don’t, you can always hang on to one of these styles and bust them out during the next go round.

The Report Signature Perrin Neon Sandal screams sexy with it’s crisscross front and flashy colors.

The Guess Carrie 9 Yellow Pump should be paired with a toned down outfit to make them pop.

You can still rock neon colors in a more casual way with the Zinc Jordan Sandal.

The Luichini Miami Fuschia Pump adds cutouts to tone down the color, making it even more girly.

Well, maybe for a little while ;)

We have been totally swamped in shoes… in the past month I think we have uploaded over 200 new shoes with about 30 or so more coming soon!

We’ve also been working on some new and VERY exciting projects involving opening our boutique and adding some video to heels.com.

I just wanted to take today to say sorry for being gone for so long – it’s tough to keep up with blogging when there are soo many new shoes to gaze upon and write about ;)

I’d like to highlight some of my favorite styles we have received in the past month – please keep in mind we have a ton of other shoes that suit everyone’s tastes, these were just the ones that really popped out at me – and if I had an unlimited budget I would own them all!!:

Boots:

Guess Teddie Boot – Dark Brown: I love this boot because it’s sleek and has some traction which is great when the streets get a bit slippery!

Max Studio Zemo Boot – Black: I absolutely adore this lady-like boot. From the concealed platform to the stem-skinny heel to the leather covered elasticized calf – this boot is a perfect example of understated glamor.

Chinese Laundry Turbo Boot – Brown: This inexpensive boot has a much more luxurious feel than the actual price (a great value!) and it can be worn over the knee for a trendy look ala Gossip Girl or it can be cuffed. Either way it’s a fantastic wardrobe addition – you can never go wrong with a sleek flat boot.

BCBGirls Petler Boot – Amber: Speaking of sleek flat boots, this one is definitely another winner. While the price point is a little higher, I still think this boot is a fantastic buy. The leather is really high quality and the fit is great. A beautiful boot that would be perfect with skinny jeans.

Luichiny Claire Boot – Black: While I’m not the biggest fan of ankle boots (I know, I know, they’re sooo in – but I think they are hard to pull off unless your legs are miles long and very slim), I will make an exception for these perfect ankle boots. With that great bow, shape, and price – how can you say no?

Pumps:

Naughty Monkey Square Biz Pump – Grey: I LOVE the look of this pump with some black opaque tights. They have very great details, a great shape, and with this price point you can’t go wrong!

BCBGirls Bobby Heel – Gold: I love the look of this shoe – and the height! Wow, its really comfortable for such a high heel – and something about the double platform makes it seem a lot less chunky than it actually is. It’s a great shade of nude/gold that definitely adds to the elongating effect. One caveat though, if you don’t have a tan (which a lot of us don’t now) it may make your skin look paler than it is.

Guess Borda Maryjane – Black: Initially I thought the platform on this pump was a bit too much, but when I saw all the pictures of Gala Darling wearing them, I sort of fell in love. I’m always a sucker for maryjanes because they make sure your foot stays securely in the shoe, without cutting you off at the ankle too much.

Max Studio Tulli Maryjane – Brown: I love this maryjane too! So ladylike and sweet but with a fantastic elasticized strap with ruched detailing – love!

Save for warmer weather:

(Or pair with some tights!)

Charles by Charles David Minis Heel – Navy: It’s no secret around here that I am enamored with navy. I wear something navy everyday it seems – and when I find such a lovely navy shoe… well, lets just say that this one might come home with me!

Chinese Laundry Bossanova Heel – Coffee: I think this is a really great spring/summer shoe that would look fantastic with a little shift dress and a trench. Plus, how fun is that name? Bossanova!

Chinese Laundry Scarlett Flat – Mustard: I know some of you are not too into the fringe trend, but I think this sandal is a really great way to get into it! It comes in 3 great colors, the price is great, and the shoe is very flattering to the foot. We previewed it earlier! Either add a fun pop of color with mustard or turquoise, or subtly add the trend with a toast colored sandal. Oh, and don’t forget the glimmer of gold at the heel which really adds a luxe look.

One that’s not uploaded yet but we all cannot get enough of:

BCBGirls Leda Boot – Brown: We LOVE this boot. It’s very high quality and has a great look. In fact, I think we may all get a pair! What’s not to love?

So that’s the run-down of my favorite shoes from the past month when we’ve been crazy!
