Strictly speaking, stilettos, named after the long skinny knives, are skinny heels three inches and over, although many people use the term stilettos and high heels interchangeably. Also known as spiked heels, stilettos are the most challenging shoes to walk in because the heels are so delicate.

The rules for buying heels are the same for buying any shoes: Do wear the right size. Don’t cram your feet into too small, too narrow or too big shoes. But they also come with their own set of rules: Don’t wear super high heels more than 12 hours at a time. Do stretch your calves after wearing heels; high heels can cause your achilles tendon to shorten over time.

Spring fashion trends - Orange & Yellow

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

The cold weather is fading away and spring is here! With the change of season comes big changes in beauty, fashion and style. Boots and closed toe shoes are tossed in the back of the closet as we reach for sandals, peep-toe pumps and slides. But not just the shoe styles change, colors change drastically too.

Walk on the Wild Side in Leopard Pumps

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

One of the hottest fashion items this season continues to be the leopard print pump.

Leopard print is something that should be worn sparingly - a nice leopard print shoe, handbag or top is great. Wearing leopard from head to toe isn’t!

Here are a few of my favorite leopard print pumps.

Annie Garnet Leopard Pump

Annie Garnet Leopard Pump
These affordable yet stylish shoes feature leopard print fabric, as well as buckle detailing across the vamp. The curvy stacked heel make them a very cute choice. And at only $44.95 from Zappos.com, you can beat the price.

Cole Haan Leopard Slingback Pump

Cole Haan Fiona Air Pony Hair Slingback Pump
I just love the femininity of the pointed toe and slingback style. These shoes feature cushioning from Nike Air, so you can be on your feet all day and still look chic. They are priced at $325 from Nordstrom.

Anne Klein Leopard Pump

Anne Klein New York Leopard Pump
These shoes feature classic styling. The heel is 2 1/2″ high - which is high enough but not too high. These are available right now at Saks Fifth Avenue for $240.

Manolo Blahnik Leopard Pump

Manolo Blahnik Leopard-Print Suede Mary Jane Pump
These Mary Janes look fabulous in this hot leopard print. The rich suede fabric is very luxurious. You can order these at NeimanMarcus.com for $545. Remember that Manolo Blahnik shoes run small, so order 1/2 size larger than you normally wear.
