Heel of the Day – Steve Madden DYNEMITE Suede Platform Sandals

Irina — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:00:38 +0000

I love, want & need these pastel colored suede platform beauties by Steve Madden in my life! All of them & ASAP! Aren’t they the most perfect shoes for spring and summer? I love the fun cotton candy colors and the simple yet flattering design of the shoe. And they’d look amazing with anything in your wardrobe: from skirts, to jeans, sundresses or shorts. Instant shoe love!

Heel of the Day – B Brian Atwood Fontanne Platform Pumps

Irina — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 18:00:28 +0000

There’s been quite a buzz around Brian Atwood’s diffusion line B Brian Atwood which features shoe styles half the price of his signature line. Most of the shoes are around the $300-350 mark which, unfortunately, is still a bit out of reach for me, but I might get lucky to get my BA shoe fix when those B Brian Atwood styles go on sale/clearance. Which, again unfortunately, sure won’t happen with these mixed metal platform pumps. Aren’t they just absolutely gorgeous? The shape is close to perfect and the metallic colors in this case complement each other rather than clashing with each other. Instant shoe love!

Heel of the Day – Boutique 9 Detective Suede High Heel Sandals

Irina — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 21:00:57 +0000

It’s been a while since I last featured a Heel of the Day here on this blog. This is mainly due to me feeling very uninspired by the shoes that came out lately. However, when I first laid my eyes on these stunning red high heel sandals by Boutique 9 my obsession with shoes was fully restored. Even more so when I saw the $140 price tag! What, $140 only? To me these heels look very designer to me. Color me impressed. And just for the record: I’m so going to buy these red heels. Just not right now. My current budget still hasn’t fully recovered from the Christmas craze that happened last month.

Heel of the Day – Madison Harding Bateman Lace-Up Booties

Irina — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:00:48 +0000

So I find these suede booties with a wooden platform by Madison Harding absolutely adorable. I love the tan suede color, the lace-up front, the sturdy wooden platform and the cute collared cuff. I’m just not feeling the $275 price tag. Boohoo, what a bummer!

Heel & Deal of the Day – Chinese Laundry Wicked Zip Ankle Boots + 25% OFF ALL Clearance!

Irina — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 18:00:43 +0000

HOT DEAL: Use code “ALIST1026” to get 25% OFF all clearance items! Ends 11/7.

Today’s Heel of the Day is rather simple in design, but I think this is actually one of the strengths of these Chinese Laundry zip ankle boots because it makes them so utterly versatile. Every woman needs a pair of basic ankle boots to reach for when nothing else seems to fit. Another strength would have to be the price. At $89.99 this bootie is already on sale down from $139.95 but you can currently save an additional 25% OFF all clearance items at Chinese Laundry which cuts the sale price down to a very affordable $67.49 and hence would explain why this bootie is also the Deal of the Day.

Heel of the Day – Iris Van Herpen X United Nude Iris Laced Ankle Boots

Irina — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 19:00:45 +0000

So aren’t these all-over laced platform booties that are part of Iris Van Herpen X United Nude collection super badass? I know a lot of you will probably just think WTF?, but I’m totally in love with these bondage-like babies. They almost look like they could be Alexander McQueen, don’t they? Too bad they’re way out of my shoe shopping budget because I’d love to flaunt these avantgarde booties, even if only in the comfort of my own home (seriously, 6 1/2 inch heel on a 1 1/2 inch platform, helloooooo?).

Heel of the Day – Vince Camuto Braden Boots

Irina — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 18:00:35 +0000

Vince Camuto‘s “Braden” boot is probably the best combination in terms of quality, price, comfort and style factor. I love all the colors and finishes but my favorite pick would have to be the taupe suede version. The perfect boot for any Fall outfit! Love, love, love!

Heel of the Day – Nine West Erynne Boots

Irina — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 19:00:21 +0000

Something that shouldn’t be missing in every woman’s closet during the colder seasons is a pair of classic black tall leather boots. Investing in a pair of good quality boots such as these ones by Nine West is well worth the money because a) a classic boot will never go out of style and b) it is also undeniably versatile and goes with almost anything of your winter wardrobe (pants/jeans, tights, skirts, dresses). It all comes down to cost-per-wear in the end, so in this case the $189 would be spent reasonably imo.

Irina — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 20:00:58 +0000

HOT DEAL: Use code “SMFREESHIP” to get free shipping on your $75+ order!

When colder weather comes upon us we naturally transition to darker clothes. But why? I think we need to keep wearing our brightest heels all year long. Because looking at bright shoes makes me happy and lifts my mood automatically. These Steve Madden ankle strap pumps are pretty much the perfect way to cheer me up! Love, love, love these.

Heel of the Day – ALDO Criblez Suede Stiletto Ankle Booties

Irina — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 18:00:42 +0000

Red suede platform booties on a pin-like stiletto heel? Do I really need to say more? ♥ Well, I mean apart from the fact that these ALDO beauties are very much inspired by Monsieur Louboutin (*cough* Big Lips Booty *cough*), but I must say I much prefer ALDO’s red suede version over Louboutin’s black nappa bootie. Attention grabbers for the win!
