A Classic Sexy High Heel

There are many shoe styles that come and go, but nothing can ever compare to the sexiness of a classic high heel. Kate Spade has done a marvelous job with her Licorice Pump shown here. These are a pair of shoes to have and wear proudly year in and year out.

These timeless beautiful high heels come to us from Italy, and feature premium leather. The stiletto heels are 4 inches, are covered in luxurious suede as are the uppers, and simply look sinuous, sexy and strong ( like all women are!) The pointed toe just adds to the overall glamour and endless beauty of these shoes.

Truly, I am in love.



Back To School Shoes? Not Quite Yet!

Have just a little more fun before the summer is done with these beyond sexy high heels from L.A.M.B.

While I am not so much a fan of a gladiator -style boots in general, these Quintessa shoes are just the right combination of fierceness and sultry, and boot and high heel, to make me seriously fall in love. While these strappy sexy heels will probably not be making it into my closet anytime soon, I can still swoon over them from afar.

They feature twisted suede and leather uppers, and leather lining plus leather insole (sounds like they may be more comfy than they look.) Of course there is the highly desired (in my book anyway) back zipper to make putting on and taking off these strappy heels easy as pie.

I love the shape of the heel, which by the way is a modest 4 inches. You can get these sexy shoes in grey and sand as well, and actually I love all 3 colors. My first choice would probably stay the sultry black shown here, but the sand is pretty awesome as well.

These are so not your average “back to school shoes,” but they would certainly make it to the top of the class in my book!

But at almost $300–well– like I said, I will be admiring these shoes from afar.



Miss Sixty High Heels

Although the heat is on and summer is in full swing, it is never too soon to think about fall and the wonderful high heels we’ll be seeing.

I love these high heels by Miss Sixty. These shoes have a look that is sexy and stylish and somewhat unique. Instead of a normal round toe, or familiar pointy toe, these Sakura II heels by Miss Sixty feature an almond shape toe. The hidden platform combined with the sexy shape toe gives these shoes a wonderful style all their own.

The heels are 4 3/4 inches with a 1 inch platform. The distressed leather uppers are stunning in the midnight blue, but they also come in black and dark brown. And, these scrumptious pumps are priced under $100.

Steve Madden Platform Sandals

These gorgeous Hitower Platform sandals from Steve Madden are my idea of a “spring fling!” I think they would look great paired with some white jeans or with short summer skirts. The black and stacked brown double platform is 1 1/4 inches and that stacked stiletto heel…..how does 5 inches sound? Sure, maybe these high heels are not meant for a whole day of walking around town, but surely you would turn heads having these beauties on your feet for a short stroll, don’t you agree? I mean, look how great Nicole Richie looks in them?

I love the ankle buckle and the looped straps at the vamp.

These shoes also come in a pretty cool bronze color, but my first choice would be the black. Yes…I know it is Spring and we are heading towards summer…..but still, those black platform sandals are just too pretty to keep in a closet!



Lindsay Lohan, High Heels and George Lopez

What has Lindsay Lohan so upset with George Lopez that the actress is all a Twitter these days? It has something to do with Lohan’s High Heels and some white stuff coming out of said shoes.

Seems that Lindsay Lohan was spotted March 27 leaving a friend’s home in Los Angeles with mysterious clouds of dust billowing from her designer shoes. And of course, you know George Lopez is going to make a joke about about it, right? Which he did, on his show on March 29 Lopez, 48, jokingly claimed on his show that Lohan uses baby powder to loosen her tight high heels.

lindsay lohan powdery shoesLohan responded angrily to the joke on Twitter, telling Lopez, “Thanks for the childish comment regarding baby powder in my shoes to loosen up the leather,” “Don’t you have kids? U wouldn’t wanna hear that about them, or would you? Act like a grown man, have some respect and dignity for yourself,” she stated.

In response to Lohan’s furious post, Lopez asked her to visit his show.

“You want me to stop talking about you I will,” he tweeted. “Come and tell me … To my face … I’ll stop!! Respectfully,” he added.

So tell me, have you used baby powder to loosen your tight high heels before?
