Steven Women's 'Beleza' Black Leather Booties

Okay, so here’s my dilemma: some things that work in magazines and on red carpets just don’t work in real life, and that makes me sad. I bought a pair of black booties almost exactly like these fabulous 'Beleza' Black Leather Booties by Steven (mine are Aldo) and I love them! They were exactly what I was looking for and had been longing after for months. I brought them home and left them in the box, planning on debuting them at my company holiday party. But as the day approached I got so excited that I busted them out and put them on to look at myself in the mirror. Suddenly my gorgeous and longed after booties looked ridiculous and completely out of place in the ‘real world’. I asked many friends’ opinions and unanimously the booties were declared amazing and that I was just being silly. I couldn’t bring myself to wear the booties to the holiday party, but neither have I yet worked up the courage to return them. So I guess my question is, should some shoes remain firmly on the feet of models and celebrities, or do some shoes translate into the ‘real world’?

Classic and refined, these black booties from Steven feature a smoothe leather construction. With a slightly padded footbed and almond-shaped toe, these ankle booties offer comfort and fashion.

INC International Concepts Shoes, Petra Boots

It’s been far too long since I’ve posted some footwear. I’ve been lusting after a pair of classic brown riding boots from Browns for about a month now. I’m keeping my finger’s crossed for a gift certificate for Christmas so that I can get them. I have made my desires perfectly clear to everyone. But until then, to satisfy my cravings, I will browse Macy’s website and dream about having any and all the boots that I want. Join me won’t you.

Designed for daring fashionistas, the Petra boot by INC International Concepts features a ruched, molten lava-like look down to an ultra-femme stiletto for true groundbreaking style.

Deluxe 2 Way Shoe Stretchers

I know what you’re thinking…Shoe Stretchers!…How…exciting. But if you love shoes, I mean don’t repeat the same shoes in a week (possibly two), your collection spills into at least two closets, and when asked you honestly don’t know how many pairs you have love shoes, then you need a set of shoe stretchers. These can stretch shoes up to almost half a size. Perfect for when one shoe fits perfectly, but the other is a little tight. These stretchers also have movable pressure pads. Lets be frank, pretty shoes don’t always make for pretty feet. If you have corns from repeated rubbing and pressure on one poor little toe, you can use the pressure pads to basically customize the shoes just to your feet, and relieve the pressure on that spot. This will also help the corn heal.

Two wood and steel forms include adjustable spacers. Specify size: men's Medium (7-10), Large (11-14) or women's Medium (5-8), Large (9-11).

From Zero to Sexy Boot

I think we have to admit it. Summer is leaving us. It’s going to get colder…but take heart! The colder temperatures mean you pull out your fall and winter fashions AND of course buy some more. Riding boots never go out of style. They’re an investment piece (this is how I justify many of my purchases, but in this case it’s actually true).

Take any ensemble from so-so to smokin' hot in a flash with these beyond-fabulous boots! Composed of beautiful, whiskey brown vegan faux leather, these posh, pull-on shoes kick it into high gear with their walkable, wood-look heels, elasticized gussets at the inner calves, and sassy boot straps, accented with glam gold chains at the ankles.

Pretty Peacock Feather Pumps

I have mentioned my love of all things peacock many times. And if you haven’t noticed, then shame on you for not hanging on my every word! These shoes are to die for. I love that the toe is rounded, not only mirroring the shape of the feather, but being much for forgiving on your toes. I only wish the heel was a bit higher, but I’ll still take 2.5 extra inches.

The cream colored patent upper features a rounded toe printed with matte turquoise and eggplant purple peacock feathers, and the comfortable 2.5" heels stand out in a beautiful shade of turquoise!

Chinese Laundry Shoes, Shake It Up Sandals

I’m beyond into wedges right now. I’ve been away from them for so long that I forgot how they give you all the height of heels but all the comfort of flats (mostly). These Shake it up Sandals from Chinese Laundry have a easy, 70’s vibe. I have about 10 outfits that they’re going to look amazing with.

Complete your 70s-inspired look and pair 'em with this season's wide leg trousers and long flowing skirts. Chinese Laundry's Shake It Up wedge sandals feature an ankle strap enclosure and a sky-high heel and platform.

Silver Cotton Mary Jane Slipper Knit Kit

So cute!!! I have a complicated relationship with slippers. Mainly, I think most of them are ugly as sin.But these are super adorable. The only problem with knit slippers is that the bottoms wear out too quickly. I think these lovely Mary Jane Slippers deserve some sort of leather sole applied to the bottom.

This kit contains everything you need to knit yourself a luxurious pair of super-soft slippers. You'll be using 100% natural Turkish cotton, spun with 5% pure silver. That silver lining is more than just decorative - silver has been considered to have healing properties for centuries.

Reebok Women's Runtone Running Shoe

Do these toning shoes really work? Do any of you wear them? Let me know if you’ve noticed an improvement in your ‘hips, buns, and thighs’. One thing these Reebok Runtone Running shoes have going for them is that they’re black. So many women’s running shoes are pink and white or blue and white. Or they are black but they give no support at all. If they give me great support I’m willing to try these shoes just because of the colour. I am unfortunately aware that the only sure way to get great ‘buns’ is to squats and walking lunges.

Make the most of your workout in the Reebok® RunTone women's fitness shoe. RunTone® sole technology forces the muscles to work harder, thus increasing strength and endurance. DMX Shear cushioning absorbs shock on impact, and the synthetic/mesh construction is lightweight and breathable.

Multi-Buckle Cork Wedge Sandal

Ok, so why are you not ordering these shoes right now? No, seriously, why? Just click through, and order the shoes. You know you want to.

Our gladiator-inspired multi-buckle cork wedge sandal will give your summer wardrobe a stylish lift. Wear them with the season's newest shorts or a flirty little swing skirt.

Women's Custom Keds Lace Up Shoes

Soooo…? How amazing is this?! As I’ve discussed, I suffer from a vertical challenge – I’m only 5.1’. (5.2’ on a good day) So I don’t wear flats very often, but if I can make my flats look however I want like you can with these Women’s Custom Keds Lace Up Shoes, I may have to reconsider my footwear choices.
