Study of Shoes and Stilettos

Wild Diva black peep-toe, T-strap, platform heel.  In the last 24-hours my neighborhood received about a foot of snow (oh man, am I wishing I had these boots RIGHT NOW!), so I sensibly wore a pair of clunky-but-warm snow-boots to shovel out my car.  But as soon as I arrived in the office I peeled those off and slipped into these 5-inch heels.  Can you wear peep-toe shoes with tights?  Absolutely.  Extra points if your tights are a fun color like these bright red ones.

If you’re looking for some T-strap sandals to wear, here are a few options that I love.  These both have ruffles up the front, which always makes things more fabulous.  These Betsey Johnson Walland Sandals are already on sale, but drop down to just $80 with the 20% coupon code.  And these Pierre Dumas Belinda-16 Sandals are marked down to $35 and will drop even further with your 20% coupon code!  Happy Shopping!

Absolutely swoon-worthy Kenneth Cole platform sandals of soft navy-green leather with chocolate suede trim, criss-cross straps, and a peep-toe.  I found these lovelies in Chicago on Michigan Ave/The Magnificent Mile several years ago, they were a present to myself after a particularly horrible break-up and I have always thought fondly of them.

Until this week, I believed these heels were navy, but by happy circumstance these shoes ended up next to a peacock-teal dress and suddenly the shoes had a bit of this fabulous greenish hue; I fell in-love with them all over again (and promptly wore them to a big fancy work meeting.  Success!).

Naughty Monkey 5-inch purple suede platform sandals with studs and black-and-white snake skin trim.  These heels could not be more fierce.  Initially purchased for a fancy party in Las Vegas, these stilettos have waited patiently for another opportunity to be worn; my friend A’s Princess-themed birthday party seemed like an ideal situation.

Sporty-Spice Princess, Hello Kitty Princess, Punk Rock/West Valley Princess

Yep, a couple of bonafide adults wearing tiara’s, sparkles, boas and even a tu-tu or two to a fancy-ish restaurant.  I should point out that my hair is not usually that pouffy.  Actually, it is never that pouffy.  But a Punk-Rock Princess simply must have big, pouffy hair, it compliments my tiara.

Tiara’s aside, look at the shoe!! The suede!  The studs!  The cut-outs at the toe!  The snakeskin platform!  These are the tallest heels that I own (clocking in at almost five-inches they should be!) and are absolutely unforgettable.  Lucky for you, these shoes are still available on Amazon!

These round-toe, gray suede, platform heels from Forever 2 are on-trend for fall and, frankly, completely delicious.  I love the super tall cone heel and the platform makes them fairly easy to trot from the office to Starbucks.
