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to the next Back to School night is a nice thought, but unfortunately it falls way down on the list of must haves being superseded by groceries, new kids’ sneakers and gas for the car.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.

Deborah Stilettos- Affordable Luxury

Posted on by
Reply

By now each of us has been effected in some way by the economic times.  No matter what the Wall Street predicts dressing nice and looking good never takes the back seat.  We just have to be smarter in what we buy and utilize what we already have in our closet.  One of the things that I love most about owning Deborah Stilettos in New Hope, Pa is that we strive to make fashion affordable to everyone.  Our store is modeled after the same hues that Channel made so famous in the to die for suit…cream and black.  We want our clients to experience the luxury of the shopping experience without emptying their wallets doing so.

Ok…so about that closet.  Have you been through it lately?  If you are still holding onto sizes that you haven’t seen since high school than it is time to make some money on these relics.  Take them out, clean them, press them and take some nice quality pictures and them list them on auction sites such as Ebay or sell them outright on Craig’s list. Once you have made yourself some money you will be able to invest it in some new finds.  But first, we need to come to some conclusion as to what items you actually need.

The must haves of every woman’s closet is a black skirt and dress, black slacks and perhaps tan ones as well, a white blouse, a pair of jeans, a nice belt, and one go to piece for when you are feeling a little under your game.  If you are lucky to have all of those items, it is time to add to the wardrobe.  Maybe a red skirt, cream-colored sweater or leggings would be a nice addition.  I would start off with basic colors and add color as finances allow.

The real trick of the success of any outfit is the accessories and the shoes.  If you are in the beginning stages of closet building, find shoes that are comfortable and can be paired easily with other outfits.  A pair of black pumps are a staple and the new shoe jewelry can easily be clipped on and off creating a different look with the same pair of heels.  Again, as your bank account allows, add shoes that can go with many different looks but have a pair that are real dazzlers.  Everyone needs one pair of Cinderella shoes in their closet.  Just make sure you have an outfit to wear them with otherwise they will serve no purpose.

Jewelry is another outfit maker.  Go from plain to perfectly coiffed by adding a pair of pearl stud earrings, a simple bracelet of charms perhaps or pearls, and a simple strand of pearls for your neck.  Pearls are a great beginning point because they can be worn casually or dressy and really look wonderful on all body types.

Wardrobe must haves

 

So don’t procrastinate any further and tackle that closet.  There’s a fabulous diva just waiting to come out.

Throw Away Shoes

We all have a great pair of heels in our closet that we will continue to repair until the end of time.  Maybe they are just your favorite heels, a pair of stilettos that you can tie a special event to, or simply, they were really expensive .  You take the high heels to the repair shop where you can often be met with a high priced repair bill.  So it makes you wonder if just finding affordable high heels is the way to go.

I have fallen victim to both buying heels that were extremely expensive.  So much so that I almost didn’t want to wear them because I was afraid of wearing them out.  I have also bought extremely cheap heels, stilettos, flats, and platforms only to watch them fall apart after one wear.  So is there a middle ground? Yes.  Today, with the competition being what it is and many of the women’s shoes being made in China shoes are being made with alternative materials driving down the cost of materials and labor and still producing a shoe that is stylish and fun.  In fact many of the shoes we are selling in our store, Deborah Stilettos, 16 W Bridge Street, New Hope, Pa and on our website www.DeborahStilettos.com come with replacement heels.  So when the little black rubber tip wears down to the metal on the back of the heel you just pull it out and stick an new one in.  It’s a remarkable idea because you are getting two cycles out of each use.

Faux Snake Sandals

These stunners are now available in our store for $39.96.  A great faux snake look for this upcoming spring season.  The crisscrossing in the front is nicely accented in a complimentry gold stitching.  It looks like animal prints will once again be the shoes to c

Affordable Luxury- Too Good To Pass Up

Who ever said that dressing stylish and classic had to cost a lot of money?  Well…probably no one but yet the fashion magazines always showcase the finest of fashions and the highest of prices.  I can’t tell you how many times I have fallen in love with a pair of stilettos as I breezed through my favorite periodical only to find out that the stilettos cost $1800.00!!  On to the next page, where I would stumble upon a great new skirt…$874.00!!!  Who are wearing these?  I guess someone is but with a daughter in college and two sons eating me out of house and home these are not my shopping options.  With that being said, I have had to be resourceful.  Being fashionable does not mean that you have to remortgage the house.  It is what I like to call Affordable Luxury which of course includes affordable clothing, affordable heels, affordable stilettos and affordable accessories. And…I am ready to prove my point!

Affordable boots and outfit

Ok…so you say.  Big deal!  You pulled together one outfit.  Don’t be a naysayer.  I can show you more.

Hopefully, you were smart enough to go out and buy yourself the first outfit.  If not, this stylish ensemble is a mere $109.05.  Faux chocolate brown belted jacket looked so real that the only thing that told me it wasn’t was the price tag.  Paired with a basic black legging and affordable brown suede boots with faux fur make bearing the cool weather not only fun but easy on your wallet.  Whether you are living in the Lower Bucks County, Pennsylvania area, New Hope or somewhere in this great land of ours (thanks to the Internet), these great pieces are available to you…www.DeborahStilettos.com or www.Forever21.com.
