SHOE WHORE SUNDAY
THE MOST COMFORTABLE HEELS I OWN
A friend once asked me if I could only choose one high heel shoe out of my collection to wear every day for the next month, which would it be.
Up until recently, I would have chosen a favorite pair of Carlos Santana's called FIERCE that I've pretty much worn out. Not only are they super comfy, but their super pointy toe makes my legs look longer and looks great with dress pants - which I wear to work each day.
But I just bought a pair of shoes that make even these favorites pale in comparison. And they are so beautiful AND so comfortable, I just have to share with all of you other shoe whores out there.
These peep-toe slingbacks called "Karavi" by Guess I can actually jog in. No shit. I wouldn't lie to you. I have them in this gorgeous Soho Tangerine color, which looks great with browns and even pinks. Although they are more than 4 inches tall, you would never think of it because of their platform, padded footbed, and mesh-lined toe-box, which combined makes them seem like you aren't wearing heels at all.
At $114 they are well worth the money because you can wear these all the time. And they come in an array of yummy colors including Cactus, Luxe Pink, Black and White. Seriously awesome shit. I'm telling you.
I also have an ankle-strap dorsay version of this shoe called "Kersty" in black which is equally as comfortable and even more sexy. This version comes in this sand color, as well as espresso and black - making them versatile for any outfit. I found mine on a clearance rack at Macy's this weekend for 60 percent off and wet my panties from the excitement.
But if you aren't as lucky to find this treasure on sale, there are still plenty left at Zappos for full price. It's worth it, I'm telling you.
ONE MORE CARLOS TO DROOL OVER
New Cookiebitch reader Eileen pointed out another new and beautiful shoe by Carlos Santana that just was released called "Believe 2" that, let's face it, is so sexy that I think it could get laid just sitting on a shelf next to a bag of yams. It's just that hot.
With a 3-1/2 inch heel and criss-cross, peep-toe, Mary-Jane style, these are definitely worthy of a special occasion - or just a romantic evening at home (clothing optional).
And the best part? They are only $69 (Freudian coincidence?). Carlos has been releasing very affordable shoes lately, while other brands have been raising their prices. It just goes to show you the guy is a god in more ways than one. Thanks Carlos. And thank you for the find, Eileen.
DEAL OF THE WEEK
Shoemall is offering an additional 20 percent off of its sale shoes - which means you can get great shoes for even a greater bargain. Check it out!
So, I take it that platforms do make a difference???? ;-)

Oh mama! I just ordered "Believe 2" in red AND black! So what if I interpreted the name to mean if I believe I should buy 2 pairs? I'm special that way.

I knew you would be at Macy's this weekend! Shocking that we didn't run into each other in the shoe section. I got a pair of Alfani "Einstein" T-Strap sandals for 50% off and in pink. I know me, hot pink...what in the world is going on??? I know you are also going to talk crap about the puny one inch heel, but hey, some of us half to walk at work...and not just to the conference room. I am rather proud of the heel considering I usually wear flats. We'll see if they are as comfortable as they were in the store. To be continued....

I must say I'm completely amazed at your choice of high heeled shoes, knowing of your love for tequila. To me this equals many broken ankles. Maybe your just a better at the drunk walk than me. Hell I have to hold on to the world just so I don't fall off.

I am so in love with all of them. And Believe 2, for sure means buy two, three or even four.

I just snagged a sweet pair of brown shoes for my new summer dress. Shoes are fun, when you have somewhere to wear them!
Would it be silly to wear PJ's and pretty heels to blog on my couch? Hm...

My husband would SOOO not let me out of the bedroom wearing Believe 2. But DANG are those HOT......
