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,

And as always, “the right shoe can change your life,”

Stilettos During the Day…Toilet Brush At Night

Posted on by

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?

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

Posted on by

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.

Does Size Matter?

Posted on by

Now that I got your attention…does the size of a high heel matter?  Well, of course it does.  There are basically six types of women’s heel lengths.  They are the flat, kitten heel, mid-range, chunky heel, the wedge and the ever so lovely, stiletto.

The flat shoe is loved by many.  It is easy to slip on and off to the races you go.

www.DeborahStilettos.com

Available this weekend for $19.95

 

The kitten heel seems to be the beloved shoe of women my age (45).  I think for many women who chose to wear the kitten heel they do because they have been out of heels for so long that it is a nice re-entry into the high heel world.  If you don’t walk well in heels and want to learn, this is a great shoe heel to start.

Available for $39.95 this weekend

 

The mid-range heel is usually a high heel that measures 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 inch in length.  They are more of a high heel experience without crossing over to the high heel stature.  This is probably the most desired of all of the heels and the one that is most often purchased in my store.  Women can still have the experience without too much concern.

$39.95 this weekend- Affordable High Heels

One of the most featured heels this spring is the chunky heel.  I think it will really provide women with the opportunity to step it up a notch.  Walking on a chunky heel gives you more stability than say just walking on a high heel.  Many of these shoes have built in platforms in the front which allows for a higher heel.

Chunky Heels-$39.95 this weekend

 

The beloved wedge…it’s been around forever and we love this shoe because it is fun and easy to walk in.  The shoes below are some of my favorites.  They are crazy high but I can practically run in them.  The are so much fun to walk in and I get so many compliments on them.  These particular shoes are great with tights!!

 

The Wedge- $39.95 this weekend

The final heel is the one I named my store after and is truly my favorite to wear. It’s the stiletto.  This is like the PHd of shoes.  The heel to wear only when you are a veteran in walking in high heels.  These heels are very thin and are usually 4 inches and above.

Stilettos $39.95 This weekend

They are truly an art to walk in and you can’t help but turn heads when wearing them.  Kisses Bellas, Deborah Stilettos  www.DeborahStilettos.com

Tell us what your favorite heel is and send a picture. We would love to see them!!!

Throw Away Shoes

Posted on by

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

These Heels Were Made for Walking But Not Traveling

As I previously mentioned, in a few weeks I will be traveling to Las Vegas to visit the world’s biggest shoe show.  Of course, there is pressure to wear the most adorable heels because you are amongst the fashion gurus and their models.  I would love to tell you I am a throw it in a backpack and jet kind of girl but that would be like asking lightening to strike me.  Packing for an overnight trip to a friends house can be a daunting task but for the shoe show…there is planning.

The airlines have almost made it impossible for you to traveling with style and flexibility as extra baggage is almost as expensive as buying another plane ticket for your bags.  Women today are not only pressured to dress smartly but to pack that way as well.  The first thing I do now when I travel is put a lot of thought into what I will wear.  Choosing standard colors also means I can use the same shoes for different outfits.  A black suit or gray dress can both be worn with a stylish pair of black pumps.  If you are in the same situation that I will be in… where fashion is paramount, shoe accessories might be your solution.  These fabulous clip on jewels can add just enough bling to your outfit.  This gives the heel a new look- allowing any shoe to become an affordable heel.

These Heels Were Made for Walking But Not Traveling

These Heels Were Made for Walking But Not Traveling

If you truly cannot live without your shoes while you travel, consider mailing them ahead.  Just make sure you insure the package for the full replacement value of your heels, pumps, stilettos, platforms, boots and flats.  Also, make sure that you notify the hotel you will be staying that there will be a package being delivered to you so that they may keep it in a safe place until you arrive.

Well bon voyage…and may you be safe in your travels…Kisses Bellas, Deborah Stilettos – www.DeborahStilettos.com

Platform and Magic….Shoe Show From Heaven

Posted on by

In a few weeks, I will have the sheer pleasure of traveling to Las Vegas for the BIGGEST shoe show in the world.  Besides the fact of its fabulous location, the shoe show is the closest thing to heaven…if your not someone’s husband.  I remember the first time I went…we went through registration not really knowing what to expect.  Then we rounded the corner and crossed over the threshold and went through the doors…and my…HEAVEN.  There was music playing, gorgeous girls wearing the shortest dresses with the highest heels and shoe, heels, stilettos, flats, platforms, boots, flip flops, sneakers….EVERYWHERE!  Now I may totally sound like a drama queen but I think there was a few minutes where I was in heavy hyperventilating mode.  The ADD in me wanted to run in twelve different directions and I was momentarily certain that all the shoes would be booked before I got to sit down with each vendor.  There were sparkles, straps, glitter, bling, leather, feathers, polys, plastics…anything you can think of someone else had thought of to create a new shoe.  There were prototypes which are heels/shoes that are just outside of the box thinking and most likely won’t go to production.  This is much like the futuristic cars you will see at a car show.

It truly is an amazing experience to sit among all the different styles and narrow your choices down to seventy styles…hoping that you will pick the perfect heels for your customer.

So I will be off again and would love for anyone to put a special request in.  Thanks so much.  Kisses Bellas.  Deborah Stilettos  www.DeborahStilettos
