I love it when designers show off their own shoes! Talk about loving what you do! Gwen Stefani was recently spotted wearing the adorable Justice sandals from her extremely fashionable line, L.A.M.B..

We at Heels.com just adore L.A.M.B. heels, so I immediately recognized these shoes when I spotted them on Gwen. (Thanks to the Shoehunting blog for the tip, too!) I actually almost wrote a blog post about these a few days ago – they are really a very attractive pair of shoes certain to spice up any outfit with their bright colors!

What I love about these sandals – and you can really see this when they’re on Gwen’s feet – is that they are like two different shoes in one. The black part of the sandal is a very traditional, classy sandal look across the top of the foot. Then you have the funky green and yellow ankle straps adding that bit of L.A.M.B. flair!

I know I am guilty of wearing more boring shoes, but I have been drooling over these for days and should really pick them up! I could see myself throwing these Justice sandals on under a pair of black skinny jeans to spice up an outfit.

Could you?!

How edgy can you go? More and more heel brands are straying from the ordinary when designing some of the newest catwalk inspired creations. From biker chic fashion to super sexy styles, edginess reigns in this year’s most fabulous footwear. Happy Heel Hunting!

What can be more girly than ruffles on your footwear? It seems that designers aren’t just satisfied with producing skirts with the layered trim. These whimsy details are moving South to add flare to your feet. To avoid a Shirley Temple vibe, these looks are worn best with something chic and mature.  Happy Heel Hunting!

The Thursday before last, the Heels.com girls got all glammed up with our hot rollers (well – I did), cute dresses, and of course – we brought out our most head-turning heels to show off at a local event centered around the best thing in the world – high heels!

We heard about a group of local Charlotte women who get together once a month at a fun bar to show off their shoes and learn about local businesses that cater to women. We decided that a group of Stiletto Girls was right up our alley.

Even though it was raining, we still managed to make it to the event to check out local businesses like Seventy Two Shoe Boutique, Black and Blue, and the Pink Hanger – all really cool! They had discount coupons and all kinds of stuff to try on. The cocktails were amazing as well with the highlight being Apostrophe’s delicious Cantaloupe martini – yum!

At the end of event they have a little competition for the best heels of the evening – and we just knew a Heels.com girl was sure to win. We had it narrowed down to my fierce black patent Report Signature Pamonas, Suleika’s girly red LAMB Sydneys, or Linda’s sparkling Report Signature Carletons – and Linda won for the evening getting the crown for the night!

All in all, it was a really fun event – a great chance to meet friends with similar interests, learn about local boutiques, and check out some great shoes! If you are in Charlotte – you should definitely check out their page on Meetup.com: http://www.meetup.com/Ladies-Night-Stiletto-Girls/ and stop by for the next meetup. We would love to meet you!

Buckles aren’t just for belts any more. Strap yourself into this spiffy shoe trend that seems to be catching on fast. These buckles aren’t always functional but they add a playful touch to your look.

While out shopping on Robertson Blvd yesterday, Paris was spotted looking quite cute.

We love her LAMB Layard pumps in the grey color – although, isn’t it a bit strange that she is wearing one of her biggest celebrity shoe line competitor’s styles? I guess when it comes to fashion, Paris isn’t biased!

These are really great shoes for everyday wear as Paris is showing here, and also for business attire that can easily transition to night. We love them here!

It seems that everywhere you look this fall shoes have gotten tougher and more hardcore. We are seeing a lot more straps, cutouts, and hardware enhancing the style of shoes. We’ve been seeing lots of zippers, studs, and modified shoe shapes too.

Who What Wear chronicled this trend about a week ago – saying “Go Buy Now – Fetish Footwear!”

We have seen a lot of shoes like this come in recently – and while some styles are a bit too out there for my tastes – I think a couple straps here and some studs there make a great addition. Some of our favorite dominatrix shoes here at heels.com are below:

LAMB Nayuta Heel – Lots of zippers keep this gladiator fresh. Also, I love the shape of the heel – just a little bit different than usual…

Marciano Tana Heel – I absolutely love this shoe on the foot. It has that great peep-toe thats ever present this season with a really great zipper and jewel like zipper pull details. It’s also this fall’s fav color…

LAMB Finsbury Pump – We got this in last week, not up on the site yet – but very soon! We love how this pump is sort of conservative with great on trend details – perfect even for more conservative offices.

BCBGirls Fiona Heel – This is a great little bootie/pump that is exactly on with the fetish trend. Unfortunately this one is super popular and basically sold out – only size 6.5 left! – but look for details like this, and the attention grabbing heel is also great because it really brings out the sexiness.
