Women’s Shoes-Designer Inspired Fashion for Less

Posted on by
Reply

I love flipping through the pages of the latest Vogue magazine.  Jaw dropping fashions and eye-catching stilettos seem to dance across the pages.  I fantasize about wearing the latest Nicole Miller gown paired sweetly with a bauble from Harry Winston’s latest diamond collection.   Paired ever so carefully with the latest in Christian’s finest foot candy, I can see myself walking gracefully down the aisles of the grocery store searching for “on sale” cereal and “two for one” juice offerings.

If you are like me (and a millions others), the visions of grandeur end almost as quickly as reaching the last page of the magazine.  Wearing the latest Donnatella Versace Suit to the next Back to School night is a nice thought, but unfortunately it falls way down on the list of must haves being superseded by groceries, new kids’ sneakers and gas for the car.  But a girl can dream can’t she?

The one thing that does not change no matter how many kids you have, how depressing the economic forecasts are, or whether or not you are on a fixed budget…women want to look good.  Many of us would not have the need for a Vera Wang dress to be hanging in our closet but that does not prevent us from wanting something current, fashionable and by all means affordable.

Coming from the fashion industry, I would stay away from the “knock offs.”  They are over played, under manufactured for quality and shhhh….illegal.  Instead, search for designer inspired.  A quality product that takes the design features from a famed designer and creates it at a price point that is attainable.  If you are a name dropper than you will probably need to save every penny you have for the next few years so Dior’s name is printed noticeably on the side of your shoes but if you have a real appreciation for fashion, the styles, colors, and materials and structure, will be more important.

Most people recognize and admire the style of your shoes more that they will see the itsy bitsy tag reading “Toms”. For those in my age bracket (40 something), let’s face it, we can’t even see our text messages without our stylish cheaters on let alone a little tag placed on the back of a shoe.  And, if someone is spending time looking at the label on your shoe, you might want to consider a new shade of lipstick or a different hair style.  Instead, women appreciate the curved heel line of the latest Prada shoe or the edginess of a spike laden pump inspired by Alexander McQueen.

Is It Crazy to Walk In These Or Is It a Shoe Addiction?

Posted on by

Ok…I confess….I love shoes.  I have more shoes than I care to admit at this time.  My closet is overflowing.  My office is decorated in varying heel heights so that I am always prepared whatever the occasion.  I am the CEO of a woman’s shoe company. Ok…I’ll admit it!   I am a shoe addict.

Some might take that as a negative but I relish in it.  I’m know as the “Queen of Heels” and what a great empire to rule…platforms, stilettos, flats, mules, sandals, high heels, kitten heels, boots, Mary Janes…you can call them what you wish.  They are all part of what I call “heaven on earth.”

The true addict has more shoes than what some would deem necessary which is a shock to her.  Someone once asked me if I thought I was excessive and I found myself perplexed as I thought everyone felt the need to have every color foot ornament in varying sizes and shapes.  Making decisions on sizes, colors, shapes, comfort levels, and fabrics is something I do everyday and I can’t say I ever get tired of it but just because of sheer exposure a shoe that makes me go wow has to stand out.  In fact, I pride my company in only selecting these styles.  We are anything but ordinary…because shoe addicts need to be wowed!!

Number One Seller

This shoe arrived at our store a few weeks ago and has caused quite a stir.  I never buy a shoe twice but I had such a demand that I bought every shoe I could get my hands on.  Why so popular?  I think the color has a lot to do with it.  Nude is hot right now!!  It’s an easy kitten heel so the amount of people who can wear them is huge.  The bow is dramatic and has a definite european flair which is not found in today’s styles.  This is a winner with an affordable price….afforable luxury fashion…I told you this was heaven on earth!  (available on eBay  if you can’t get to the store  http://stores.ebay.com/Deborah-Stilettos22).  It is currently available in nude, red and black.  Stunning and one you will not want to pass up.

For those who are looking for a little bit of a wilder look, go no further.  When I spotted these lovelies at the Las Vegas Shoe Show, I knew my shoe addict sisters would melt and they have over and over again when seeing them.  The attraction?  Different, animal print, rhinestones…three strikes only this one gets a home run.

If you aren’t getting your man to whistle a love song when you wear these, you better check his pulse.  A true winner!  I would even call this “zexy”…ok I made it up but isn’t it a good word to describe it?   Available on eBay  http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-HEART-KITTEN-HEELS-CHEETAH-AND-RHINESTONES-SO-UNIQUE-STAND-OUT-/170834293248?pt=US_Women_s_Shoes&var=&hash=item6d756d0ace.

Ok…now for my high heels sisters who graduated with a PhD in heels.  There are not enough words to describe them so lets just say sexy…crazy…heels and leave it at that.

This is available on our other shopping site.  http://www.bonanza.com/listings/4-CRAZY-UNIQUE-HEEL-IN-LEOPARD-AND-CHEETAH-PRINTS/72125481.

Don’t worry if these are not your personality…we have over 180 styles to choose from so go ahead…take the plunge…your closet has room.

A Heel with Bullet Shells? A Good Reason to Step Out

Posted on by

High heels, flats, stilettos…it doesn’t really matter what you call them…I LOVE SHOES!!  This year’s spring/summer colors of orange, lime green and neons will most definitely find  a space in my shoe closet and on the shelves of my store.  Polka dots on footwear almost makes me weak in the knees. Like a dip in the Fountain of Youth, when I put them on I feel young.  The funny thing is…I know I am not alone!!

I had a wonderful day in Deborah Stilettos yesterday-located at 16 W Bridge Street, New Hope, Pa.  Sunday afternoon…and the women were so excited by the new shoes we had gotten in.  When I told them we had over 90 more coming in…they were beyond delighted.  However, the high heel that got most of the attention was my own creation…”Heels of Justice.”

Heels of Justice

I created this shoe as a symbol for all women suffering and recovering from domestic violence.  The many brass 22 caliper bullet shells positioned on this nude Mary Jane are empty representing the end of violence.  The shoe is unique representing the individual strength in all of us.  When you put these on…you are standing tall and strong.

I am recovering from domestic violence and have pledged myself as a designer, business woman, mother, and victim to do all that I can to help women and children who have had to endure the unthinkable…to be degraded as a human being.  Abuse is not just physical violence. It is also the emotional soul bashing that many women endure daily.

The proceeds of these shoes will go to Heeling, Inc., a charitable organization raising money for area prevention and assistance programs.

Be a part of the movement today…make more than a fashion statement today…buy these shoes and let’s spread the word that domestic violence needs to end!

Seeing Dots-Polka Dotted Stilettos

Posted on by
Reply

As polka dots make a big splash across the fashion winter/spring 2012 world, I chuckle to see the new designers smile broadly at their “new” fashion find.  Unfortunately, I have reached an age where I have seen fashion trends and crazes cycle back around like an old familiar friend.  Perhaps the application has a new twist but the concept is reflective of the past or what we call “vintage inspired.”  Over the past few years, vintage has taken hold of the fashion world making it only too chic to mix yesterday’s fashions with today’s concepts. And while many fashion experts will only be too happy to pontificate the falling in love all over again of a trend from the past, perhaps it is just the true appreciation of good fashion design.

I must admit I was over the moon when dots appeared before my eyes on this years most popular pumps, heels, and flats.  I found them to be fun, young and in some ways familiar.  As much as I tried, I was unable to control my urge to buy anything that had these little colored in circles.  I was like a young girl at a Sadie Hawkins dance unable to pick which one I would attend the dance.   As a true fashion addict, it only seemed reasonable to buy everything and anything with a polka dot on it.

Now I know that this fashion craze will see its final days relatively soon unless we decide to hold the fashion icons in a hold pattern much like we continue to do with the animal print craze.  Polka dots are eye-catching and even on a rainy Monday just throwing on a polka-dotted rain coat can make me swear I see rays of sunshine.  This spring’s shoe fashions have brought delectable colors back and while I love them I am drawn to those with dots like a moth to an outside light bulb in the summer.

Hot off the press!!  These just arrived on Friday.  So much fun and keeping in true commitment to my Shoe Sorority Sisters these lovelies are affordable. $39.95-affordable luxurious fashion at it’s best.

Polka Dotted Pumps-$39.95 at Deborah Stilettos

If you haven’t already, don’t miss out on adding a little fun to your wardrobe this spring.  We will continue to get an array of new shoes in over the next few weeks so I hope to see you in our store at 16 Bridge Street, New Hope, Pa or if you can’t make it you can always take a walk down the aisles of our website www.DeborahStilettos.com or our eBay store- Deborah Stilettos.

If you have found a fashion find this spring that highlights polka dots, post it to this blog.  We would love to see it!!!

Love and Kisses Bellas,

Stilettos During the Day…Toilet Brush At Night

Posted on by
2

I have the dream job.  I design and sell women’s shoes, heels, pumps, flats….. Each morning I get to dress up in the latest and greatest to go to work. Wearing a new pair of stilettos that was delivered to the store the day before, I spend my day blogging, reporting on, and delivering the newest and most fashionable shoes to all of my sisters of our Shoe Sorority. ( Send your email to Deborah@DeborahStilettos.com and I will be sure to sign you up.) The days are fun and glamorous.

Then five o’clock arrives.  I drive the short distance between my office/store and my home still in a good mood from all the goodies I was able to take a sneak peek on during my afternoon.   With the twist of my front door knob, I suddenly transform into Cinderella after the clock struck midnight. Words from my day like “fashionably affordable and stunning stilettos” are replaced with “why do I need another mess?”

My son who I picked up from weight lifting just moments earlier has found himself strategically placed on the couch unable to lift the garbage bag from the overflowing can in the kitchen.  My older son who tells me on a daily basis that he hates his science class has turned my kitchen counter into a laboratory test center to see how fast mold can grow on a glass of orange juice poured before he left for school.  My twenty year old daughter, who likes to regularly remind me on how she will manage her home more efficiently has left an empty bag of dog food on my living room chair.  Perhaps it is a new interior design technique I am unaware.

My heels pop off, the oven goes on and I have learned how to spray the Endust can far enough to hit three pieces of furniture at a time.  Then I silently laugh to myself.  The title of motherhood is one I have held longer than any other position at any other company.  Who would have ever known I go from being the Queen of Heels during the day to Princess of the Potty Brush at night?

Flatter Your Figure with the Right Heels

Posted on by
Reply
As women, we spend a lot of time trying to make ourselves look thinner, taller, more shapely, and stylish.  Most of the focus goes on the outfit…choosing the right color (usually black) to thin out our hips or our junk in the trunk.  Then there are some of us (not me) who were born with super straight shapes and need a little help rounding things out.  While clothes play a vital role on the final outcome of our outfit.  Don’t be quick to overlook the importance of the heels you select to wear.

If your legs need a little enhancing, chunky heels will help give them a pick me up.  Pair this with a blazer if you find yourself with more of an apple figure (busty and booty with thin arms and legs).  Bright bracelets and rings will draw the eye downward and will not focus people’s attention to challenges you might be trying to overcome.

Available at Deborah Stilettos for $39.95!!

Some of us have been blessed with an hourglass figure but that certainly does not mean that you don’t have to be aware of what you put on to best highlight your God-given silhouette.  Slim pointy-toed heels will lighten your lower half and paired with a skinny belt will make your waist look even more slender.

Available at Deborah Stilettos for $39.95

 

If you are pretty straight from top to bottom and this is not the look you are trying to achieve, don’t fret.  You have come to the right place.  Sexy lace up boots give a little pizzaz to super straight legs.  Check these out…

$49.95 at Deborah Stilettos

Maybe your body shape is not causing you to sigh.  Maybe you are just looking for a new style.  Retro is all over the pages of every fashion magazines this upcoming season and I must admit it is really a favorite of mine.  The past designs of some very notable designers such as Chanel and Christian Dior are making a comeback giving women a confident and feminine look to look forward.  A thin knit sweater will give you the flashback of the past when paired with a little black dress.  It is a very nice look that won’t have you causing a frown line on your forehead because if the sweater is thin you will not cause yourself bulkiness.  Throw on a pair of retro black pumps (available at Deborah Stilettos for $39.95) and you too can enjoy some affordable luxury!!

New Pocketbook Uses…Using Your Old Bag

Posted on by
Reply

I saw the most novel idea the other day while watching a runway show.  The designer had taken a tote bog and had folded the bag in half.  Essentially making the over sized bag into a clutch.  With every great look comes sacrifices, however you are not losing anymore than if you were just using a clutch bag.  You will have to keep the items to a minimum so the tote will fold in half easily without bulging that might make the setup a little more cumbersome to carry.

What you do gain is the ability to use something already in your closet or treat yourself to a new big pocketbook that you will get two uses out.  In today’s economic times, we are always looking to save a little here and there.  What you save in the pocketbook will afford you a new fun pair of heels, sandals, stilettos, or flats for the upcoming season.  Why not shop at Deborah Stilettos where our heels are $39.95 and $19.95 for our flats for our local store clients.

Can’t wait for you to drop by and see some of our fabulous new additions to our already beautiful collection.  Also remember that a portion of our sales goes to Heeling Inc-our charity to help women and children recover from the horrors of domestic violence.

Heeling Heels

A few years back we had a presidential election that was based on how we could help our communities.  Now whether you were for one candidate or another is really neither here or there.  The point is we were all challenged on how we could help one another.  There are many wonderful charities out there doing great things to help those who are in need.  We like to think ours in one of them.

After a long personal battle of emotional abuse and the murder of my mother-in-law in 1999 from domestic violence, I have pledged my time, part of business and heart to helping others and their families recover from this debilitating and crippling emotional and physical violence.  The statics are staggering that one out of every four women in the world will experience some form of domestic violence in their lifetime.  Children growing up in these environments suffer in silence and often have lower school grades, anxiety and trust issues.

Deborah Stilettos, 16 W Bridge Street, New Hope, Pa and www.DeborahStilettos.com have pledged to make a donation every time there is a purchase at our store or on our website.  It is as easy as just buying a pair of heels, stilettos, flats, boots, lingerie, or jewelry and you will help others free themselves from this horror.

We can’t afford not to help.  For those of you interested in lending a hand to raise money in some of our charitable events please contact us through www.facebook.com/HeelingInc.  Just like our page to help bring awareness.

Thank you Bellas and beaus for taking the time to read this.  It is a cause very dear to my heart.  I hope you will all take a minute and ”like” our Facebook page as well.

Kisses,
