Affordable High Heels For The Holidays
Feeling the pinch this Holiday Season? Most of us are it seems as economy woes looks like they have settled in for the yuletides. So I have done some shoe hunting to try and come up with inexpensive but stylish heels for Christmas and New Years and all the parties you may be checking out.
First up are these very sleek Jessica Simpson black high heels (every closet demands a pair of sexy black heels) that feature 3 1/4 inch heels. These lovely high heels are now $54.99 –regular price is $69.99 — at Famous Footwear.Com
Next, I though these Anne Klein Boots were definitely deserving to be on this list. You know (if you have been reading my blog ) that I have a passion for all things boots, LOL. So every “list” I make regarding shoes and high heels is going to have at least one pair of boots on it!
Anyhoo– I think these boots are stylish, cute and very fun. Worn with a great pair of jeans and a holiday sweater or sexy black top, these high heel boots will be fun to wear all winter long. These Anne Klein ” Clemon ” boots are available online at 6pm.Com for $50.60 — that’s 55% off the regular price of $113.00!!
These strappy high heel sandals from RSVP are ready to go to Holiday parties at an incredible price of $28.81 — 52% off their original $60.00. These hot high heels come in a metallic or leather upper, with a sexy metal ring in the middle. I love the look of these shoes– and for the price, I don’t think you could go wrong.
Purple Shoes Make a Fall Statement
Is everything coming up purple this Fall? Luckily, we will be seeing some warmer shades of the vibrant outspoken purple this season. I mean, purple can be cool, but it just isn’t one of my all time favorites when it comes to shoe fashion.
But with that said, I did find a sexy high heel by Jessica Simpson that is beautiful in all its’ purple glory, and feminine to boot with a slinky sassy bow sitting coyly on top. The fabulous heel is tapered and sleek …all 4 inches of it. And the peep toe is subtle yet extremely in fashion for this Fall. A pair of Peep toes heels should probably be in everyone’s closet this Fall in some form or another if being trendy is your cup of tea!
Piperlime has the Jessica Simpson Donora available for $89.00. You may want to check these out.
70 Years of Wishing On Ruby Slippers
The truly wonderful Wizard of Oz will turn 70 next year. And celebrations are already under way. Namely, Warner Brothers and Swarovski, the crystal company, have teamed up to celebrate the auspicious 70th anniversary of Dorothy and her ruby red slippers,and to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, with an auction planned in the fall of 2009.
A group of 20 designers are now recreating Dorothy’s glittering ruby slipperss to commemorate the 70th anniversary of “The Wizard of Oz” next year. But already the beautiful shoe designs are being introduced with appearances at Saks Fifth Avenue and in Bryant Park in New York during the September fashion shows, at Art Basel Miami Beach in December and elsewhere next year.
One of the designers that is participating in the auction is the infamous Betsey Johnson. She describes her ruby slipper creation as a shoe that has a heel “as high as I could go, as sparkly as I could go and as fun and full of polka dots and a tulle bow as I could make them.” 
Two pairs of each shoe, by designers like Oscar de la Renta, Diane Von Furstenberg and Manolo Blahnik, will be produced for the auction.
Check out pictures of the special event Saks held during Fashion Week to highlight the special shoes that will be auctioned off in 2009…the team at jezebel.com has so wonderfully posted great pictures…..hurry over and take a peek! ( Or just try clicking your heels together three times and wish you were there…hurry now!)

What five shoe styles should everyone have in her closet?
Taryn Rose, if case you are not familiar with her, is the founder of Taryn Rose International, a luxury line of shoes ( did I mention Taryn is also an orthopedic surgeon??) Taryn recently did an interview with shoes.com, giving her valuable tips and trends for shoes this fall.
Here is some of what Taryn had to say:
Her thoughts on Fall Trends–
There’s a dominatrix look that is happening this fall as well as very streamlined covered up booties. I love shoe booties with dark tights for fall since I don’t need to worry about my calves looking fat. So why don’t I just wear pants? Well then I need to worry about my butt looking fat. Besides I love to wear a dress.
Taryn’s picks for the five shoe styles every woman should have–
A simple black pump, a ballerina flat (I love it in metallic or black patent), a low wedge with an ankle strap for walking, a stiletto for special occasions, a high heel Mary Jane. If you don’t work in a conservative field then you can switch the pump for something that is appropriate for your lifestyle. I have 175 pairs of shoes so I’m probably not the right person to ask about five pairs of shoes.
What current shoe trends will likely carry over to next season?
The Mary Jane is great whether its trendy or not since it gives extra support. I also like gladiator sandals which are really hot this summer but I think it still has legs for next season. Gladiators for me is a great way to wear flats with an attitude. I’ve always loved peep toes and started designing peep toes long before they were trendy. The shoe bootie is also good to wear into Fall.
And some accessorizing tips from Taryn:
I don’t like the full matchy matchy look since it looks dated. What is fresher is to use one accessory as a pop or a standout element. Right now I like a bright shoe with a neutral bag or vice versa. Playing with textures and shine is another way to wear a lot of the same color without looking like an Easter parade. For example I wore a green matte satin Oscar De La Renta cocktail dress with a green and gold beaded Fendi bag and simple soft gold shoes. Because I am short I tend to like to wear soft gold or nude shoes to elongate my legs.
You can shop for Taryn Rose footwear at boutiques around the world, as well as fine department stores such as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom among others, and be sure of course to check out Taryn’s Collection online

Men Are Inspiring The Fall Shoe Collections This Year (again)
We will be seeing the familiar menswear inspired shoes for women this Fall. I am not a huge fan overall of the oxford influenced shoe, but this Fall there seems there will be more variety at least.
Women will find flat oxford looking shoes and thankfully heels as well on their menswear inspired shoes. And the heels will add some flavor as well with the chunky look and the stiletto look mixing it up.
Laces…you can have them or leave them. There are ample selections of both styles available for Fall.
What do you think about the strong menswear influence on womens’ shoes this Fall? Love it…Hate it…or just neutral on the look? 
All shoes pictured here are from the Neiman Marcus Menswear Inspired Collection, btw. Guess which one is my favorite!

Honey, I Have to go Shoe Shopping…For Sex Sake
I laughed so hard when I read this today on Health Bolt.
So what does shoe shopping and sex have in common? A study by the University of Verona in Italy found that women whose feet are elevated at a 15 degree angle (that’s about a 3 inch heel), have more relaxed pelvic muscles than those who wear flats. So the author of the post, Liberty, surmises that the more relaxed those muscles are, the more they can work to your advantage, contracting (and thus maximizing) your sexual “hoorah”.
Ok–works for me so far. And so with our nice relaxed pelvic muscles primed and set, busy child pestered parents can get the most mileage (faster) out of their all too limited ‘bedroom time’.
Heh. High Heels. Relaxed Pelvic muscles. Maximized sexual hoorah.
“Honey, I have to go shoe shopping!”
5 Tips For Wearing Your Sexy Shoes Ala Sex and The City
So you know we’re going to keep doing it. Even though we’ve been warned about the permanent foot damage that can occur, even though we’ve personally suffered the callouses, blisters and cramped toes, women are still going to buy, lust, dream of, and most assuredly wear high heels.
But it never hurts to get some advice for wearing our sexy stilletos, especially when it comes from Eve Michaels, Beverly Hills image consultant, and president-elect of the California Podiatric Medical Assn., Daniel Altchuler, Santa Monica podiatrist.
Michaels shared her top five tips on wearing “Sex and the City” shoes with The Los Angeles Times, and Altchuler graciously contributed to the discussion with some of his own comments and advice.
Here are some pointers from the article:
The ball of the woman’s foot must line up with the ball of the shoe. Altchuler says that is where most people go wrong. The pattern of the shoe must match the shape of the woman’s foot.
Michaels suggests that women buy pointy-toed shoes a half size larger than their normal size; Altchuler says that is not necessary. Guess that means we just go with what feels best on our feet?
They both agree however, that some high heels women will wear are not meant to do anything other than pose for the cameras, sit on a barstool ( looking oh so sexy..I’m sure they meant to add that!), and are basically not meat for walking and /or dancing around in.
A shoe should feel comfortable when you try it on at the shoe store, agree Michaels and Artchuler, but whereas Michaels will give a heel up to three wearings to feel great, Artchuler says no way—the shoe should feel great right from the get go.
Michaels points out that the weight of the woman’s feet must be on her heels, not thrust onto the balls of her feet, so as to avoid discomfort. But Artchler says that to avoid the foot from jamming forward, a heel cannot be higher than an inch and a half. Oh My.
Lastly, Artchuler suggests women shop for our precious shoes to do so late in the day, because feet swell as the day goes on, and you’ll get a more realistic fit.
The best advice here…wear those sexy stilletos to your next party and sit around looking fabulous! When it’s time to dance…slip the shoes off!
