Hey shoe lovers! Let’s talk about pony hair. Is this a trend you love? Or do you find yourself confused? I have to ask – I’m not sure what to think, but I’m liking it more and more each day!

Paris Hilton – Burke Heel in Zebra Pony
Also available in black pony and leopard pony.

Pony hair fabric has been all over many of our new styles here at Heels.com, from Jessica Simpson heels to Paris Hilton heels to Guess sandals and heels. Often printed with a cute animal pattern, pony hair fabric gives a pair of shoes an interesting and luxe texture. It’s a great way to spice up a shoe without adding too many bells and whistles.

A lot of brands have new fabulous pony hair heels, but Guess in particular stands out as the pony hair and animal print expert. Guess doesn’t just remake a popular shoe in pony hair – they create an entirely new, fabulous shoe guaranteed to suit the texture and style of pony hair.

Check out these super fab shoes featuring zebra pony hair and royal blue accents!

Guess – Nazirra Sandal in Multi Pony
Also available in black, coral, and snakeskin

What a color combination! Black and white accented with jewel-tone royal blue – these shoes are striking and unforgettable in person.

Another favorite pair of Guess shoes – the Erinna D’Orsay sandal.

Also available in orange multi (really cute! check it out!) and black multi.

So, shoe lovers – what do you think of these heels? Is pony hair here to stay?

Welcome to a new feature on Heels in the Queen City, Hot Heel of the Week! Featuring hand-picked favorites from the Heels.com staff every Tuesday. After all, there’s nothing we love more than our own inventory. If only the Heels.com warehouse was my own personal closet… my life would be complete! Mmm. A girl can dream.

Hot Heel of the Week will feature picks from all the Heels in the Queen City bloggers, starting with me, Kait!

My Hot Heels pick of the week is the Naughty Monkey Honey Pump, available in Red & White and Leopard & Black.

WOW! I am just so in love with this snazzy heel. As expected from the funky, fabulous Naughty Monkey line, the Honey Pump hits the mark perfectly between cute and edgy.

Let’s start with the pony hair print on the outside. Honey pump’s spots are cute and small, but have that sexy animal-print edge. A ruffle with buttons at the heel adds another touch of cute, but the fire-red color on the details like the capped toe keeps things smoldering. See what I mean? Honey Pump combines cute with sexy for a fabulously flexible and wearable pump.

I take a lot of orders on the phone, and there has definitely been a lot of interest in these sexy pumps. No wonder we ordered it in leopard and black as well!

Check back next Tuesday for another Hot Heel of the Week!

Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmmm. That’s what I say when I see a nice bootie. When I lay my eyes on a hot pair of little boot heels, I lose it. These ankle boots are modern, edgy and have a little bit of that “it” factor. Booties come in a variety of shapes: open toe, rounded toe, embellished with grommets, buckles and zippers. They are worn best with tights, a skirt and attitude. So next time someone yells, “great bootie,” rest assured they are referring to your feet.  Happy Heel Hunting!

I definitely know what it’s like to want shoes so delicious you could just eat them up.

Found at the fabulous blog Styletastic.

Would I rather have the shoes or the cupcakes? Umm, how about both?! Here are some equally deliciously adorable shoes:

Rhoda Heel from Kelsi Dagger in Bordo

These pumps are beyond adorable, from the fabulous deep color to the so-cute-you-could-eat-it flower at the side.

Lavish Sandal from Fergie in Bordo

Ruffles at the back of these suede sandals make them truly lavish. I love this suede ruffle trend, which we have seen on party heels from the ever-popular Fiesstaa party sandal by Steve Madden to these sold-out Tai pumps by purveyor of elegance Badgley Miscka.

Sometimes I open up my closet and feel like I have all too many boring shoes. Am I alone in this?! Sure, maybe I can wear a lot of my heels anywhere and match them with all kinds of things, but that usually means they’re unobtrusive and safe in color. A pair of plain brown pumps is effortlessly wearable yet rarely inspires anyone.

I crave shoes that set me apart from a crowd. Shoes that make people stop and ask me, “Where did you get those?!” (Heels.com, of course!) Shoes that put a smile on my face every time I look down. Shoes that keep me thinking, “I’m so glad I’m wearing these heels!!” all throughout the day. Shoes so fabulous that I want to plan my outfits around them.

Some truly amazing heels have come across my desk in recent days, and I certainly keep track of my favorites. I’ve decided to pick out some shoes with a serious “WOW Factor” component to them – cure your closet of the borings and pick up one of these fabulous pairs of heels!

The L.A.M.B. Zed Sandal in Dark Brown.
This is the sandal to end all sandals from the queen of high-quality heels, Gwen Stefani and L.A.M.B. shoes. The dark brown leather straps are of an exceptionally high quality and quite comfortable, and the circular pattern on the front is eye catching and evocative. A recessed platform, typical of L.A.M.B. sandals, and a sky-high heel make these a show-stopping number.

The Betsey Johnson Law Sandal in Black and Red.
Wearing a Little Black Dress to anything soon? Are you really going to put the same pair of black party sandals on? Stop right now and check out these fabulous sandals from Betsey Johnson instead. Betsey Johnson heels never disappoint with fabulous, imaginative designs guaranteed to excite everyone from the experienced shoe lover to the total shoe newbie. I have handled these shoes myself and they are stunning in person – the fit is perfect and the flower detail is adorable.

The Sab Elle Thigh Boot from Luichiny.
Wow. Wow. Wow. These thigh boots are the definition of the term “wow factor”. Just let them sink in and think about the amount of fabulosity you would gain from slipping these bad boys on. Your legs deserve a pair of boots like these. These boots are the kind of fashion statement that will have half our viewers saying, “Eww!” and the other half drooling in anticipation. (And those of you saying, “eww!” Well, I’m sure a small part of you wants these too!) I… I have no more words. I was so lost that when I was describing them, I couldn’t help but start with “wow” in my description.

What about you, shoe lovers? What other fabulous shoes do you have with that elusive wow factor?

Fold over baby, there’s a new kid in town and his name is cuff. It’s true, boots are not my favorite shoes but if I have to wear them, I demand a little flair. A cuff on a boot adds a touch of fun without too much commitment. They’re like collared shirts or a nice blazer, crisp and classic. Happy Heel Hunting!

Wow, three pairs of shoes! Someone had a fetish.” – Marge Simpson

You know what I love? A great pair of boots. Especially a great pair of boots I can wear day after day after day. A pair of boots I can walk all over the city in. A pair of boots I can throw on over a nice pair of skinny jeans. A pair of boots that is incredibly comfortable, yet feature enough of a heel that my feet are given a bit of a lift. A 1 or 2 inch heel is perfectly comfortable, and in fact I prefer a low heel to a pair of flats to be quite honest! They are easier to walk in! Tell me I’m not alone in this!

Maybe it’s about the sound. Good shoes should make that “I’m A Woman Wearing Heels!!” sound when you take a step. The size of the heel is irrelevant – I’m not always in the mood to put on 5″ stiletto show-stoppers – but a good pair of boots with a 1 inch or 2 inch heel makes that “Heel Click” sound I love.

Is it wrong that I love the sound of boots so much?! I feel strongly that every pair of boots in my closet should announce their presence with every step regardless of how casual or fancy they are!

The Paris Hilton Ryder boot in brown.
Also available in black.

Personally one of my favorite kinds of boot is the riding-style knee boot – they look fabulous over skinny jeans and can make the most casual outfit look put-together. Knee boots in general have a tendency to pull together any outfit!

We at Heels.com are big fans of Paris Hilton shoes – billionaire style at affordable prices. I think a lot of her shoes are just adorable, and I love the pink soles of course! The blocky heel on this Ryder boot is short enough to be very comfortable, but you’ll look and sound like a boot-loving fashionista walking around in these knee boots.

What could be better than riding boots? Cowboy boots! And my favorite cowboy boot on the site is without question the Silk Boot by BCBG:

The BCBG Silk Boot in Acorn.
Also available in Cuoio and Black.

I can’t express my love for these boots enough. They slouch. The block heel is perfect. It’s high, but not too high. The style is functional, fashionable, and cute. The color is just lovely. BCBG never disappoints, do they?!

In fact, the only thing I don’t like about these boots is that they come in two totally amazing shades of brown (Acorn and Cuoio) and when I get a pair I’ll have to make a seriously tough decision.

Search Heels.com for Riding Boots or Cowboy Boots to see all our wonderful styles! And check out our whole selection of women’s boots while you’re at it – you can always narrow your search down by heel height, color, brand, or size.
