If you still can’t figure out what to get that someone special on your holiday gift list, I’ve put together a list of some of my favorites to get the ball rolling. Happy Holidays!
Low Price Winners
If you’re on a budget but you still want to get great shoe gifts, check out the High Score booties from Unlisted. For only $40 these shoes offer a chic look at a reasonable price.
I’m also a big fan of the Dana boot from Kelly & Katie. These $50 boots look sleek and durable. And let’s face it…I love the name!
Anything from UGG Australia
While some people think that they look sloppy, or like house shoes gone wild, I for one always have and always will love Ugg boots. They’re comfy, cozy, and they’re the epitome of affordable luxury. My personal favorites are the Maylin boot, which is made of sheepskin and features fleece/fur lining, and the Lattice Cardy flat boot.

I admit it. I have a dream pair of shoes. It’s a pair that’s so fierce, so fantastic, so expensive that my friends will have to take up a collection in order to buy them for me for Christmas. They are the Barletta knee-high boots from Elie Tahari, and for the low, low price of abour $600 they can be mine.
But since I’m a realist I have a funny feeling that I will not be rockin’ these boots to a New Year’s Eve party any time soon. But this got me thinking about dream shoes in general. I know my own style, but I also wanted to know which fabulous pair of shoes you’re hoping to find underneath the tree this year? What’s your pair of dream shoes?

Next up on our Countdown to Christmas are a few of my personal favorites for the woman who loves comfort. You know who she is. The woman who’d sooner wear ballet flats or chic flat boots than sky-high stilettos any day of the week…but she always looks fabulous nonetheless.
Basic Ballet
If you’re going to buy the Comfort Girl a pair of ballet flats, make sure that they’re chic and far beyond basic black. Try the Ona from Mossimo in a holiday-appropriate cheery shade of red. The round toe and ruched detail at the heel make these flats anything but ordinary.
Boss Boots
The G Lelah from xhilaration is flat and fabulous! The ruffled details down the side give it an extra pop of femininity, and the dark purple color make it a gift worth giving…and receiving!
Sandal-Sational
While she may not be able to wear a fabulous sandal right away, there’s no better way to remind her that warmer weather is on the way then with a fabulous spring sandal. If you really want to splurge, check out the Metalplated T-strap sandal from Giuseppe Zanotti. It’s leather. It’s luxzurious. It’s Zanotti.

It’s December 1, which means that the Countdown to Christmas is on! You’ve only got 24 precious days left to shop, wrap, bake, and ship any and all presents to friends and family this year. And since you’re sure to have more than a few shoe-aholics on your list, I’ve put together part one of a 4-part list that will make gift giving a little easier this year. Today I’ve uncovered the perfect gifts for the ladies in your life who love color!
Green with Envy
We all have a friend and/or family member who loves, loves, loves anything bright, bold, and fabulous. So this year make sure she unwraps the brightest gift of them all. The Evelixa pump from Nina is a satin stunner with a sexy 4-inch heel. Its emerald green hue will make a beautiful contrast to a basic LBD!
Rainy Days
If it’s rainy, cold and gray outside, then there’s no better time to brighten up your look! These bright orange Original rain boots from Hunter will not only keep your feet warm and dry, but they’ll make you very easy to spot in a crowd!
The Bluest Eyes
These cobalt blue Colorblock Booties from Pierre Hardy are truly something to behold. The 4.5-inch stiletto heel may make balancing a bit problematic, but when your shoes are this fabulous, what’s a little vertigo? The $600 price tag definitely makes them a splurge, but the stunning craftsmanship and fierce color also make them a must-have.

Yesterday we talked about the emotional tactics behind a successful Black Friday shopping excustion. Now we’re going to talk about the physical. We’re talking shoes, people! The comfiest shoes that you can wear that will keep your feet cozy during those marathon hours of trudging through the mall. Here are my top picks:
Athletic Shoes
There is quite possibly no other shoe that can keep your feet feeling happier, then the simple athletic shoe. The New Balance 855 not only looks sleek in a cool black hue, but it’s literally made for walking, so you’re guaranteed hours of comfort and support.
My beloved Adidas Volleio W is the ultimate cross-training shoe. You’ll be able to stand in line for hours on end, bob and weave through oncoming shoppers, and roam the aisles in comfort.
Ballet Flats
If you’re fortunate enough to live in a warmer climate, then a pair of simple ballet flats may be just what the doctor ordered. If you’re desperately seeking comfort in a basic black style, check out the Denise style from Banana Republic or the high-end Acarie model from Mephisto.
But if you’re searching for a little pop of color to help you stand out from what is sure to be an enormous shopping crowd, then you must try the bright red Anna flats from Banana Republic.
Flat Boots
I’ve never really been a big fan of flat boots, but when it’s cold outside and comfort is key, then they’re one of the best options out there. The Zen mid-calf flat boot from Journee is comfort and style wrapped up in a neat little package, and I’m also a big fan of the Carryn style from Sacred Heart.
The clock is counting down, ladies, so gear up for the joy the season, the deals of the year, and be careful out there!

The biggest shopping day of the year is nearly upon us! Be prepared to work off that Thanksgiving feast and grab some fabulous bargains with these Black Friday survival tips.
Pack Your Patience
If you choose to venture out into the world of brick-and-mortar stores to start your holiday shopping, it’s best to get there early and pack your patience. If you plan on taking advantage of deals that are being offered at big box retailers you certainly won’t be alone. And big crowds often equal limited parking and agitated people. So in order to prevent you from losing your cool, just remember to keep calm, get the item you came for, get out, and then celebrate your shopping bounty at home with a nice cup of hot chocolate.
Try the Little Guy
The mall isn’t always the best place to find gifts this holiday season. Small shoe boutiques are more likely to have a larger Black Friday selection of products, better parking, and a lot fewer people beating down the doors at 5 a.m.
Dress for the Part
We all like to look cute when we’re shopping, but this is modern shopping warfare! Keep the 4-inch leather boots at home and dress for comfort—ballet flats, tennis shoes, and flat boots are the way to go!
