Are you looking to treat yourself to something this weekend? There’s 2nd day shipping at Heels. And here is one serious deal that you just can’t beat! Treat yourself this weekend!
Not Rated Mayflower T-Strap -$40.49
I think this T-Strap can be paired with balloon and pencil skirts. It’s casual enough for the after work spot and dressy enough for the workplace. This shoe is versatile, and with a price like that, it’s definitely a HIT!
Whadd’ya think?

Need more convincing?!
Ashley Olsen’s in T-Straps!

In thinking of what boots and booties to shop for at a reasonable price, I found the Top 3 choices for my next purchase, all under 100 bucks. Some of these are NEW to Heels and some have been in stock for a while. My favorite color is pink, so I thought I start this thing off with a pink number.
1. Fergie Merry Shoe This is my all-time favorite shoe at Heels. It’s not exactly a bootie, but I don’t believe you can call it a shoe. You could wear these with a nice pencil skirt with hoisery. Or this ‘Fergie’ pairs so nicely with a casual jean and top number. The peep toe and keyhole fits my style. It says I’m spunky, sexy, and I love the 50s all at once. This would also go nicely with my trendy jackets and cardigans, giving any of my outfits a ‘downtown’ look. Only $98.99.

2.Paris Hilton Courtney Bootie – I would love to have these in brown while they do come in black. They are just trendy and timeless. The criss-cross patent-leather strap ’round the front is the icing on the cake! This isn’t a seasonal shoe, so I’m sure that I could wear this bootie through Fall 2010. It’ll stay relevant. This boot is only $94.99.

3. Not Rated Hysteria Boot- This is just too cute. It’s the knee-high boot I’ve got to have. The wedge heel makes this pair comfy, so I can strut and dance through the night. It fits my very social lifestyle. And it was designed for every fashionista on a budget everywhere since it is only $74.99. You’ve got to try these.

I recently got a nice bunch of Heels.com gift dollars for my birthday which I set out to spend immediately. (The gift of shoe shopping is the best gift of all, is it not? Why wait?) As I clicked around the bazillion shoes on the site the pairs that kept attracting me, while in in varying colors and styles, shared one thing in common–they were all embellished with bows. Maybe I was feeling extra girly from all the cupcakes. Maybe I wanted my gift shoes to resemble actual gifts. Or maybe all the bow-clad shoes were just too cute to pass up. I got serious and entered “bow” in the search box. There were 233 pairs! Here are three that made my short list, along with the ones I’m wearing as I type this.
First, the Fran Heel in pink from Betsy Johnson. (When you think of bows, don’t you think of Betsy Johnson?) The ankle strap adds a little sexy to the sweet, not-too-bright pink.

I also really loved the Get Listed Pump from Unlisted. The red gingham in combination with the bow is simply darling on these peep toes.

Driving Mz. Daisy pumps from Not Rated are basic brown plus a floral pattern equals adorable. Be sure to check out both the side views on this pair.

It was tough to delete these three shoes from my shopping cart, but, ultimately, I decided to go with a lower, sturdier heel. Am I getting more practical as I get older? Perhaps. But I also can’t resist shiny. These Corso Como Mint heels in silver won out as my birthday shoe. (This is my first pair of Corso Como shoes but will not be my last. I love the classic-taken-up-a-notch style of the brand.)
