Like many of the Heels.com bloggers, I’ve always been a big fan of Alice in Wonderland.  A tale that is really more for adults that children, it’s whimsical, dark, adventurous, and more.  It inspires me so much, that a group of friends & I dressed the parts for Halloween one year!

Being quite the Alice fan herself, I could see our girl romping through wonderland in these beautiful black & white heels by L.A.M.B.  Equal part school girl and harajuku girl, they’re perfect for the modern Alice skipping through her favorite wonderland.

For a girl who spends her time chasing rabbits, falling down rabbit holes, outgrowing houses, and playing chess and croquette, a secure pair of shoes will do her more than good. These Manica heels by Jessica Simpson are a modern day mary jane with a square toe and thick buckled strap. Because Alice has more on her mind than what to do when she loses a shoe.

All that running can wreck havoc on a girl’s feet, and perhaps a stiletto isn’t the best bet for our dear dreamer. Luckily, BCBG Girls Mosh has an excellent wedge that makes those escapades a bit easier on the toes…

Though arguably, with the time period Alice was written in, I think my favorite choice may be the Betsey Johnson Nyla heel. With an oversized button and a scalloped front, I may have to get these for my next Alice costume…

When a pair of shoes tells me a story, it makes it more difficult for me not to fall in love with them.  It makes it much more difficult for me not to want them in my closet, so we can live out those stories together.

This is what happened when I saw the Borda heel by Guess.

The Borda heel instantly transplants me back to my years living in New Orleans. It  makes me want to stay out until 7 a.m. dancing in the French Quarter’s dirtiest and dankest local bars, followed by early mornings eating waffles and thick coffee. In my head, I pair them with a slim pair of cigarette pants and my favorite band shirt and the make-up on my face is simply a remnant.

The biggest question that comes to mind is whether I’d get them in red, or in black.
