First we explored Alice’s shoes for an adventure in Wonderland… and no story is complete without the wicked styling of the villianess.

While Disney didn’t make the Queen of Hearts too stylish, in my imagination, she runs Wonderland with a stiletto heel to match her croquette mallet.

Our delightful Queen would love these Patty Pumps by Hollywould. They’re demure and sweet, a tell-tale sign of all the things she is not…

Any righteous queen would know better than to wear her heart on her sleeve, and this queen is no different. Instead, she wears her heart on her (Betseyville) shoe, perfect for tearing after those who don’t abide by her rules…

For long summer days out on the croquette field, a sharp stiletto won’t work. Afterall, what woman wants her heel sinking in to the ground with each step she takes? These wedges also by Betseyville will prevent sinking and other unflattering activities.

What do you think, ladies of the court?  Does Heels.com offer any other queenly inspired shoes for the one dearest to our heart?

A Good Training Heel

I think every woman wants to don a pair of 4-5″ heels and be able to strut through their city’s streets effortlessly.  Many women don’t seem to realize that walking with ease in skyscraper heels is a learning process, one that requires tools to help you get there.

Bicycles have training wheels and young women have training bras.  So for those of us wanting to jump in to great heights, why shouldn’t we buy training heels?  In Such Great Heights, I advocate buying heels in a variety of heights, both for happy heels, ankles, and feet, but also for training purposes.

Here I’ve compiled a list of shoes, all with a 3″ or less heel that are hip, stylish, and great preparation for jumping in to those stilettos!

The Brindle Heels boots by Report have a 2″ covered wedge, creating a discrete lift while providing a manageable height to walk in.

Corso Como is, by far, one of the most comfortable shoe brands I’ve ever worn, from flats to 4″ heels. I’ve been lusting a bit after the Carson Mary Jane; with its 3″ wedge, it goes from a day at the office to a night of dancing with a change of skirt & shirt.

corsocomocab
Also by Corso Como is the Cab Boot. With a delicate, stiletto heel that measures in at just under 3″, it’s a deceptive way to look more coordinated and sexy.

Despite being the High Heels blog, there are many amazing options on Heels.com for that all ring in between 1.5-3″.  Not too high, and great practice for those skyscraping nights!

Buckles & Whistles

What is it about the mary jane that has cemented its style in shoe history?  It’s often the first footwear of a girl, adorning the feet of babies and small children.  Along the saddle shoe, it accompanies school girls through their education.  And even as grown women, we still can’t seem to let go of the style.

I’m loving the modern interpretation of the mary jane that’s come out recently– her multi-strapped sister.  There’s something a bit sexier, a bit naughtier about the multi-strapped mary jane. Bonus points if one of those straps is an ankle strap…

I own this heel, and I love it. The subtle shine, the double buckle, the metal trimmed heel. Now if the snow would go away so I can wear them…

Is anyone else in love with this style?
