Ok, all you procrastinators;  You have less than a week until Halloween so you might be scrambling right about now.  Don’t worry because I have three more last minute ideas that are easy to pull off.  I also want to take this opportunity to remind you that costumes everywhere get marked down to half off on November 1st so save yourself some hassle and stock up for next year!

First up is another ole stand-by:  The Devil.  This costume has been re-worked about a million different ways so you have plenty of styles to choose from.  I like this one that looks like fire and flames.

Lots of people can agree that Halloween is an excuse for any girl to dress a little slutty.  Why not dress up as the most lovable Street Walker we know?  I’m talking about Pretty Woman, of course.

Work that corner with style in these

Black Patent Slouchy Hide and Seek Over The Knee Boots from Dereon

The last costume on my list is one of my favorites.  I have always wanted to be a Mermaid ever since that Disney movie was released way back in 1989.

Are you still debating on what to dress yourself as this Halloween?  Have no fear, because I have 3 more trendy costume ideas and the perfect footwear to bring your look together.  Did I mention that these shoes are so fabulous, you might not want to wait till Halloween to wear them?

First up is Pocahontas.  While I am pretty sure most costumes like this are most likely nowhere near historically accurate, there are lots of extra accessories that can lend to this Native American inspired ensemble.

You’ll feel right at home in the wilderness while you are wearing these

Cognac Leather Braided Kasidy Sandals from Steve Madden

Next up is the most undeniably popular costume for this year.  Vampires have infiltrated almost every aspect of pop culture and media lately, so don’t do the boring old Dracula style.  Instead, try something more up-to-date like this costume.

Being one of the hottest TV shows of the year automatically means that people will want to emulate their favorite characters from the small screen on All Hallows Eve.  Besides Mad Men being a fan favorite, it has also won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series for the past 3 years.  This show’s 3 leading ladies always look impeccable on-screen and off.

Do you need some animal print served up along side your Buckles?  If so, you must get your hands on these

Pony-Hair Leopard Print Peep Toe In The Park Pumps with Buckle and Studs from Naughty Monkey

Hi again Shoe Fans!  Continuing along with our Animal Print selections, next we are moving on to the exciting Cheetah print.  Now, you may be asking your self, “What’s the difference between Cheetah and Leopard?”  I asked myself the same thing when I started brainstorming about this series of blogs.  While the two animals are completely different, their spots are somewhat similar;  Much like their shoe counterparts that are adorned with their patterns.  In all honesty, most of the time we follow along with what the manufacturer calls it.  Mystery solved!

If you like a side of Jewels served up along with your Cheetah print, you better snatch these up

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.
