If you’re tired of wearing the same monotoned colors when it comes to your footwear fashion, we have the answer for you. Go graphic with some of these bold choices. These shoes will add a punch to your outfit in a very fresh and unexpected way. Happy Heel Hunting!
Tough times in the economy are keeping many of us from buying lavish jewelry to adorn our ears, hands and necks…so we’re choosing an alternative: our feet.
We’re seeing more and more shoes with sparkling gems that are giving us that glam feel that we crave, without emptying our wallets.

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!
Our sweet Naughty Monkey and Not Rated rep came and showed us a bunch of really hot and funky styles that will be shipping to us in Jan and Feb 09. We are so excited to get them! Naughty Monkey and Not Rated are both great brands that have funky styles – really cute but also different from what you usually see.
We love shoes and we love blogging about them!
