An Elfish Looking High Heel?
Hmm….now is it just me or the eggnog? Don’t these shoes have you thinking “Elf”? I am staring at these through “eggnogged “eyes (well, you know–weekends and holidays= parties, right?) and I can’t help but think these shoes would be perfect for the North Pole.
So I guess they have their good points….. like that 5 inch heel. And I love the red color. But, um, I think Santa can keep these shoes at the North Pole this Christmas.
These Dereon Swinger Heels are featured at Heels.Com, and I just can’t decide how I really feel about them. I guess if they were given to me for Christmas (?? Anyone??) I’d certainly take them and have fun wearing them (with what I’m not sure–I’m envisioning a red cape-like coat and green tights, LOL), but would I actually go out and buy these shoes, or order them online? Doubt it. Actually though, these heels do kind of grow on you, and they’d probably look fabulous with some dressy black slacks.
What do you think? Elfish or Stylish??
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.
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

Carrie and Manolo Blahnik
Have you ever wondered why Carrie from Sex and The City always wore Manolo Blahnik? Well I did and even though I could not afford them I took a stroll in Neiman Marcus and tried serveral pairs on. It was fabulous the shoes were really speaking to me saying buy me, well if I had the money I probably would have.
Manolo Blahnik is a man of substance, a man of great couture fashion sense, how did he design such a great shoe for women? From the Original Cherry Shoe in 1971 to The Piaggi shoe in 1974, Manolo has made his mark in fashion history. Because of this I now know why Carrie loves the shoes; they are certainly a one of a kind that can not be duplicated.
Love My Brit Gucci High Heels
I love to wear high heels and designer high heels are one of my favorites. However, I don’t normally spend money on high end high heels as I would like to. My budget simply can’t afford it. One of my favorite high heel designers is Gucci. I like a lot of the products that Gucci has.
For Mother’s Day, I was given the best present ever. I received a very expensive pair of Gucci high heel shoes. I got a pair of Brit Gucci ankle strap sandals. Wow, did I feel like I had hit the lottery. These are very expensive shoes. They even have the Gucci logo of the letter G on them so that everyone knows how lucky I was to get Gucci.
Jimmy Choo High Heel Shoes
Jimmy Choo high heel shoes are very classy stiletto heel high heels. These shoes can really make a difference in how your feet and your legs look. One of my favorite in the Jimmy Choo high heel shoe collection is the criss-crossed sandal in silver. It has a stiletto heel and looks absolutely stunning.
You can expect to pay a lot of money for Jimmy Choo high heel shoes. He’s a very classy designer that does heels, regular women’s shoes, sunglasses and designer hand bags. For example, the criss-crossed sandle by Jimmy Choo can cost you around $700 for a pair. They are in the high end heels and very designer heels for you to wear.
The Gucci ’sevigny’ is different but retains classic lines
Normally I focus on the style of the shoe and not the color, but this shoe is so fantastic in all the colors all I can say is Gucci’s spring/summer ‘08 collection is killing me with beauty, clean lines, and so much sexy.
The ’sevigny’ high heel has an ankle strap and are classified (of course) as sandals for the lots of open foot as well as the open toe. It has a horsebit ring buckle detail and the heels themselves stand at an impressive, yet wearable, 4.1 inches.
The colors these come in are black leather (as shown on the model and only available on the website), black python, and (also pictured here) the light gold.
They also come in a light gold metallic color that is calling my name clear as a bell, let me tell you. The clean lines and doing a cuff in the front of the heel are daring and new, while still retaining a sense of classic style and simplicity.
These are shoes you could wear anywhere and while they would be noticed, they wouldn’t seem out of place.
If you would like to see the shoes on the site:
- Go to www.gucci.com
- Click on United States (or your preferred country!)
- Click Shop Ad Campaign
- Click Spring/Summer ‘08
On the first page that comes up on the right, click on one of the the model’s shoes. It’s as easy as that to check out the black python style and to order a pair. At $635 these are actually some of the best deals of the season for high-end designer high heels.
Ooh La La Christian Louboutin!
This ultra sexy, super clingy, curve hugging thigh high black boot is from Christian Louboutin (who might be my favorite shoe designer of all time, but I hate to say things like that when shoe fashion seems to be up in the air…winner take all…) But this thigh high boot retailing for well over $1,000 has me ready to swoon.
The pointed toe is all business, while the high heel keeps the feminine side of the booth front and center.
This isn’t a mid thigh boot, oh no, this blod-red soled Christian Louboutin thigh high boot comes to the top of the thigh. You could wear them in a heartbeat instead of tights with any outfit.
Wear them with a business suit and no one will know how high they go but you.
It’s like your very own sexy secret. A very expensive secret, but with those red soles everyone will know what you’re wearing, and isn’t that half the fun?
If you’re worried that in shiny leather these thigh high boots might be a little too much for your outfit, never fear! These beautiful, supple black high heels are made of suede, so no matter who is touching them, they will feel the smoothness of your amazing suede thigh high heels.
I would not recommend wearing these with pants, even on the coldest of winter days, because the suede will catch on any fabric you are wearing and probably make the pants look off, so keep it to skirts, dresses and maybe…if it’s really cold out…jeans. But if you do wear them with jeans, good luck getting the jeans off at the end of the day. Denim sticks to suede like you wouldn’t believe.
Overall these are a good choice for a sexy minidress or if you’re making a statement with short-shorts.
Very rocker-chic meets daddy’s credit card.
Soften stilettos with ribbons and bows
Black stilettos are a classic that will never go out of style, they’re sexy and powerful. A woman wearing black stilettos feels amazing wearing them, like a queen with power and beauty at her disposal. But black stilettos can be a harsh fashion statement, bringing up thoughts of someone edgy and bitchy. Sometimes that’s fine, but what do you do if you want to wear your beautiful black stilettos…but want to give a softer impression than your black stilettos can give?
Enter ribbons and bows!
A bow on a shoe harkens back to adorable little girl shoes of youth. I’m not saying you want to look like a little girl to be attractive, but the black stiletto is so strong that a dash of innocence can balance that look. This shoe is a perfect example of making a black stiletto just a hint more feminine while still retaining all of the sexiness that black stilettos are known for.
Ribbons don’t necessarily soften the look, but they alter it ever so slightly. The thought of unwrapping a gift will drive your man wild when he sees these shoes on you. The ribbons make the shoe practically scream, “I’m dying to be untied and off of this leg!” Wear with caution, because when your date sees you in these shoes, he’s not going to be able to think of anything else. Don’t try discussion religion or politics, because he’ll just be picturing himself unwrapping your shoes.
The black stiletto will never go out of style, nor should it. But you can still have your black stiletto and change up how it makes you, and your date, feel with very little effort.
From the Spring ’08 Manolo Blahnik collection – Mary Janes
These adorable high heels from the Spring ’08 Manolo collection are a wistful yet traditional take on the Mary Jane. They are currently available for pre-order on the Neiman Marcus website for $555 + shipping. The heels, at 3.5 inches, are sexy and tapered without being unbearable for everyday wear – making them ideal for work shoes.
The flesh color means they’ll match with all your spring favorites, from the pair of white pants you still hope you fit into from last season to the trendy new catwalk styles, these versatile shoes go with almost anything.
Shoes this season range from classic to outrageous, which is great for shoe buyers that crave variety. The outrageous styles are fun for going out with girlfriends or on a date, while the classic styles are perfect for business meetings or everyday work-wear.
The fun button accent over the top gives the lovely bit of extra support across the top of the foot that makes wearing high heels a little more comfy. Straps will probably stay in fashion as long as there are high heels to put straps on, because straps are supportive, comfy, and flirty – they’re what make high heels fantastic.
A dramatic statement you could make with these sexy, sultry, flesh-colored Mary Janes would be a great pair of black thigh-high tights and a mini-dress. The stark black would make the shoe color really pop, and as we all know, if you’re going to wear amazing high heels, you want them to get noticed!
