Spiked OUT!

Bad women, always win. Here's a few ways to look bad, but feel darn good. Spiked heels are a new trend that you can see popping up every so often. If you're the type of women that sets trends instead of following trends, I know some easy tricks. Wear a bodycon dress!

Its true that most body, curve accentuating dresses can give off a not so "innocent" vibe, but our pick is just the opposite. Its flowy yet effortless shoulder detail, allows women to show off their body and continue to be chic. A subtle pink lip or a bold red lip adds extra flavor, that’s always acceptable. Here's where your bad girl persona comes out to play, a pair of studded platform pumps. At first glance they may seem a bit too hard for an everyday woman. In actuality they can be worn as a feminine accent. The silver studs give the pumps just the right amount of "hardness," without overbearing the outfit. Try it for yourself.

P.S: Pre-Orders are coming soon. Get your studded heels today at chocolatesolelounge.com

Take the SHOES off! INDULGE IN FOOT FOREPLAY!

2011-05-25T20:14:00.000-04:00

Foot Foreplay! Let's Treat or get Treated

Ladies, looking fabulous is what we do. It all starts with putting gorgeous shoes, gorgeous heels, gorgeous footwear on our feet day in and day out. We all have a long weekend coming up let's let loose, kick off the shoes and do it. Heres How to do it the right way!

Foot Massage Techniques

1. STROKING

This technique stimulates the blood vessels in your feet and promotes gentle heat. Hold the foot in your hands and begin to massage the top surface of the foot. Use your thumbs in a slow, firm stroking motion, starting at the toes and moving up to the ankle. Once you have reached the ankle follow the same line back to the toes. Make sure you apply lighter pressure towards the toes than the ankle. Repeat this 5 times and then perform the same technique to the sole of the foot.

2. ANKLE ROTATION

Firstly, gentle move the ankle side to side to loosen the ankle joint. Hold the heel of the foot in a cupping motion and hold the ball of the foot with the other hand. Rotate the foot clockwise and anticlockwise 3 or 4 times to relax the foot from the ankle joint, reversing the directions will calm and de-stress your senses. Make sure you perform this technique gently.

3. PIVOTING

Gently hold the foot in you hand and use the other hand to massage the sole of the foot with your thumb. Begin with the area directly below the large toe and slowly move to the other toes. After initial pressure, roll the thumb back and forth. It may be seen as wiggling the thumb. Release pressure, and move. Pivoting can be a very relaxing especially if you vary the amount of pressure being applied to the ball of the foot.

4. KNEADING

Using the thumb or finger tips to knead back and forth on the sole of the foot. Kneading uses the knuckles at the second joints. "Knead" the area like dough with large pressing, rotating movements. Remember that the foot is not as adaptable as dough, so be gentle!

5. FINGER WALKING

Visualize the foot as a series of squares the size of the second toe (about1/2" sq.). Walk your fingers horizontally, one square to the next, and then down to the next row of squares. Massage one foot, and then the next. Begin at the big toe.

Now those feet should feel great! Time to slip on a another gorgeous pair of shoes. Take care of your feet, and please share this info.

Shoe Trends 2011...you decide

2011-04-08T20:13:00.000-04:00

We definetly connected with this article written by Daniel P. Dykes on http://www.fashionising.com/. So we grabbed it and are sharing it with you to keep you updated on what's hot for spring. We share which trend Chocolate Sole Lounge - A Shoe Party Boutique is lovin and which one we don't.
All we really need in Jersey is some sun and higher temperatures so we can rock our spring styles!

Spring 2011 footwear / shoe trends

Both of these shoe trends are included not because they're new shoe trends for 2011, but because they're shoe trends from 2010 whose elements will still have an impact in 2011. You'll see elements from both remain popular in 2011, particularly in certain countries, as they remain a part of the overall tastes. Clogs, in particular, have peaked as a trend so we're not recommending these two as big investment pieces, but pieces you can hold on to or whose elements shouldn't be disregarded altogether.

Clogs

Clunky wooden shoes. It doesn't sound like the most glamorous or practical of footwear trends, and yet the clog reached new heights in 2010 and will continue to have an impact on 2011's footwear trends. Specifically the brass studding so prevalent will continue to be influential, while the clog's overall popularity will wane.
Chocolate Sole Lounge agrees, clogs are still in the running for spring and a pair or two should definetly be in your closet. Try a fun multicolored clog like "Rainbow" for only $50 or a sexier richer colored clog/platform like "Cognac" for only $66 from our online boutique. SHOP NOW for those and more!

Cognac $66 from

Rainbow $50

Kitten heels

Kitten heels are making a somewhat controversial return, spurred on by the trend of '50s and '60s dressing. More comfortable yet less appealing than their higher counterparts, kitten heels can work particularly well when dainty, pointed, and either retro-inspired or minimalist. When it comes to this style in 2011 it's all about the theming. For Spring, kitten heeled sandals are also an option. Chocolate Sole Lounge is not feeling the kitten heel trend and we don't think we will be offering any kitten heel styles in our selections. I only have 2 pair in my collection of designer footwear that I've had for years. Take a look at a pic right from my personal closet.

If this trend is right for you, let us know and we'll scope out some fab styles for you and where you can get them. SHOP NOW!

RESIST THE RULES!

2011-03-24T22:51:00.000-04:00

Ain't if funny. Just when you think it's safe to start putting away our fur accented designer boots like our 9West Linnie or our sporty yet funky Purple satin boot we get snow in Jersey. You must admit those hardfast shoe rules of no white after labor day or no boots in the summer have all been flipped. Fashion footwear has no rules and we are free to express our various moods anyway we like. Open toe boots carried us thru the winter, maxi skirts and male inspired military boots were all the rage. Ladies it's time to express yourself! Are you bold enough to mix spring with winter and step out in your designer shoes?

Platform Mania!

Honestly, the Cognac heels I'm wearing remind me of Jeffrey Campbell "Lita" boots, but a little more refined for the everyday woman. With the wooden heel and the sky high platform, it gives off a 70's vibe, that's definitely in this season. To stay warm in this cold front weather, I've simply worn some comfortable straight leg jeans, a pair of ankle length socks and a ruched long maxi sweater .

For a summer inspired look try a long maxi dress, the Cognac Heels with stockings and a long silk scarf (an example of the outfit is provided below.) Shop online, Book a shoe party, or Start your own business with Chocolate Sole Lounge.

Summer Inspiration:

Daring Devils

Whatever happened to ladylike shoes? Ladies, this year its all about taking a chance and wearing those 6"inch heels. We saw the first striking pair of daring heels when Jeffrey Campbell "Lita" shoes popped up on the seen. From then on shoes have become the forefront in fashion this season. Our DollHouse "Cognac" platform heels are only for striking divas. Take a chance and step into our shoes.

2011-02-05T20:20:00.003-05:00

Maxi-mize your Style

Maxi skirts are a must-have piece for this upcoming summer season. After browsing through blog after blog, trying to find inspiration, I decided that this summer is all about lengthy skirts. We have all seen and bought maxi skirts in the past, but this season you can spice it up with a bang! Pair your favorite winter sweater with a long sheer length skirt for a more daring outfit. For a laid back look, try a winter bootie with an ankle length skirt and a brightly colored top. Visit Chocolate Sole Lounge to see out new bootie collection.

Channeling Chanel for Spring

As I was rummaging through some photos of the new Spring/Summer 2011 collections, I found some great photos of the new Chanel Spring 2011 collection. Platforms have seemingly popped back into the major fashion runway shows. Unlike previous runway shows the "new and improved" platforms are to say the least... different. But you have to respect the artistry involved in each of these pieces. The shoes seem to be inspired by traditional Asian platform shoes Geisha's wear. Take a look at true artistry. You decide if it's IN or Out.

Bananas for Booties!

The fashion this fall has a luxurious and extravagant look and feel, so it’s not surprising that fur and faux fur are among the hottest trends. Fur is being used to accent accessories, clothing, and shoes; it draws attention and definitely adds flair to your outfit. You know we’re all about the boots for the fall because we want you to make a shoe diva statement, so check out these styles. There are many more to choose from but we thought we would start here. What fur boots do you have in your closet? Post a picture.

Tips for Choosing Comfortable Shoes

2010-10-19T15:24:00.000-04:00

As women, we like to keep it sexy…however we define sexy…and oftentimes our shoes are a big part of helping us to look and feel that way. In many cases, we end up sacrificing comfort to achieve that look, so how can we do both? Here are some tips for choosing comfortable shoes while still maintaining that shoe diva image.

Size and Fit
Size and fit are two different things. Your size represents the length of your foot but it doesn’t take into account the width of your feet. While there are options for Medium, Narrow, and Wide, a number of people fall in between those plus those options are not always easy to find. Additionally, shoes are produced differently. Some shoes run smaller than the true size especially in stores like Aldo. Some shoes are not available in half sizes. Given these variations, it is important to try on the shoes to ensure the right fit for that particular shoe.

Shape
Pointy toe shoes are often the source of discomfort because they tend to squash your toes together. That’s not good news for our stiletto queens. To accommodate this style, consider going a half size bigger to give your toes the appropriate room.

Heel
Choose your shoes appropriately for your event or venue. The stiletto heels are the least comfortable heel, so if you’re going to be walking a lot or standing for a long time, that should not be your shoe of choice. If you are addicted to stilettos, choose the platforms instead because this style provides more support at the balls of your feet which will alleviate the typical discomfort associated with stilettos in general.

Inside the Shoe
Another source of discomfort is often the design inside the shoe – seams that rub against your foot, cut outs that press down on your foot, straps that chafe your foot or squeeze your foot, etc. Sometimes these features can cause the most discomfort, damage and distraction while you are wearing the shoe.

Your Needs
Be familiar with the attributes of your foot. Do you have a high instep? Do you have chunky or narrow feet? Do you have long toes? Pay attention to how your feet react to different types of shoes so that you know which styles and brands are the best fit. Flat shoes aren’t always the answer. You still have to ensure they have the proper support especially if you have flat feet.

10 Random Shoe Tips That Every Shoe Diva Should Know

2010-10-05T17:22:00.000-04:00

Tip #1: Light colored shoes have a slimming effect.

Tip #2: Dressy shoes can be versatile. Wear them with a pair of jeans to dress up your look but still be comfortable.

Tip #3: Metallic shoes (i.e. gold, silver, white gold, platinum) will dress up a casual outfit and enhance the look.

Tip #4: If you get tired of the original color of the shoe, dye it a darker color, and voila, you have a new shoe.

Tip #5: Tall boots can be worn with long skirts, mini skirts, and skinny jeans, but be sure to tuck the jeans into your boots.

Tip #6: Transition your high heeled open toe sandals to the fall and winter by wearing them with hosiery or the new trendy fall socks.

Tip #7: Pointy toe shoes are ideal for women with larger feet. It makes your feet look smaller, because the shape of the shoe takes away from the width of your feet.

Tip #8: If you have thick ankles, do not wear shoes that have a strap that crosses your ankle. Sling backs or closed back shoes are more complementary.

Tip #9: When breaking in a new pair of shoes, wear them around your home doing chores and standing or freeze a sandwich bag with water in your shoes then defrost for 20 minutes.

Tip #10: A chunky platform or wedge style shoe vs. a strappy shoe will make your foot look smaller.

Top 3 Stylish yet Comfortable Shoes

2010-09-07T16:33:00.000-04:00

One of the woes all women have in common is how to combine style and comfort. Why should we have to give up ‘sexy’ for comfort? Here are three shoe styles you can rock to achieve both.

Ballerina Flats
You have seen the ballerina style shoe – the ones inspired by ballet slippers. First Lady Michelle Obama rocks them on a regular basis. They’re a versatile shoe that you can sport with jeans (especially skinny jeans), skirts (at the knee or higher), capris, and shorts. This style tends to make your leg look shorter though, so adjust the length of your garments accordingly. For example, short legs should rock them with a shorter skirt showing more leg. If you feel like dressing up the outfit, get them in a metallic color.

Wedge Heels
Wedge heels continue to be popular this season. This heel is one of the most comfortable you will ever wear. You tend to forget the height of the heel, because they provide excellent support running from the heel to the toe. If you’re not experienced with wearing heels or you want to try a higher heel, you may want to start with these, because they are a lot easier to walk in. Keep in mind that they come with a low heel and a high heel – it’s your choice. Rock them with all types of skirts, shorts, boot leg or flared jeans, and dresses. Stay away from tight fitting clothing though.

Platform Heels
Platform heels tend to be more comfortable also because they provide great support at the balls of your feet and the heel tends to be sturdy. Some of the more recent styles feature stiletto heels so stick with the more traditional heel for comfort. Rock them with shorter length dresses/skirts or boot leg/flared jeans.

You have three great choices. Sport the ones that flatter your body type the best. Remember, although they’re comfortable, they are not made for a marathon so wear them in moderation.

What other comfortable styles do you have in your closet?

Top 5 Fall Shoe Shopping Tips

2010-08-31T13:18:00.000-04:00

We know fall is right on the horizon and it’s time to get the wardrobe updated. It’s so exciting to see the seasons change and experience different weather that we MUST look the part. Just another reason to buy some shoes….but what an important reason it is, Shoe Divas! Can we get an amen on that one?

Check out these tips on what to look for:

Tip #1
Rock your booties/ankle booties in all textures and styles – suede, bling, open toe, gladiator style, cut out, strapped, ruffled, fur, faux fur, fur-lined, military inspired. You name it and it is in! Try them on and see which ones are best for you.

Tip #2
Knee high boots, over knee high and thigh high boots have been up and down the runway in the fall and winter collections. The styles are sexier and more chic this year.

Tip #3
Clogs are still hot and are a nice addition to your fall wardrobe because it adds some flavor. Not everyone is into the traditional clogs, but definitely check out the high heeled clogs or the boots/shoes with the clog bottoms. They are quite trendy.

Tip #4
The masculine look with the feminine touch will still be in for the fall. Check out the oxfords and rock them with one of your suits.

Tip #5
Accessorize the shoe. Wear a pair of socks with them. Rock them with sandals or booties and add some character and ‘pop’ to that outfit.

Fall Fashions for Your Shoe Collection

2010-08-10T14:55:00.000-04:00

We’re hanging on to our summer days because in many parts of the nation, it is the shortest season. But the arrival of Fall is inevitable along with the question…how can I remain sexy while adjusting to the change in the weather? Well…we’ve got some great options for you.

Shoe Boot
The shoe boot is a great option because it provides full coverage for your feet but it still allows you to breathe and enjoy the weather. It’s a sexy style that adds a different flavor than your summer sandals. Throw them on with a pair of jeans or even a mini skirt. Stopping right at the ankle means it accentuates your legs very nicely.

Ankle Boots
There is something about a pair of boots that just makes you feel fly! The ankle boots give the illusion of the boot look. Sport them with a long skirt or a slim, above the knee skirt so you flaunt those shapely legs. You can also rock them with your skinny jeans or your boot legged jeans.

Open Toe Ankle Boots
This style offers you the best of both worlds for the Fall. You can show off your pedicured toes for a bit longer and indulge in the boot look. Rock them with a short pair of shorts during Indian Summer or a mini skirt or throw on your sexiest pair of jeans.
