Dulci, j.crew, kitten heels, leopard print, shoes

Let’s all agree that the legs just look better in heels…and sometimes we are willing to pay the price for beauty with tender tootsies and sore soles….but thanks to the kitten heel trend, we don’t need to weep for beauty anymore!!

We can be practical and stylish with gazelle-like gams without getting cranky….and no one wants to cross a cranky belle, just sayin’! So without further ado, let us introduce you to the Dulci kitten heel from j Crew

at $345, they are a bit of an investment…but the price-per-wear will make them totally worth it (a belle can always justify a shoe purchase…just sayin’)!

But…if the fall shoe budget doesn’t quite include this wild little kitten, the Dulci comes in a couple of other belle-worthy options…

How about the “bronzed brown”…

or the “deep violet”…

at a more palatable $198, these little kitties just might be calling your name!!

Time for some decision-making, belles!

Smitten for kittens…kitten heels that is…feline foot candy

The latest kitten heel trend has us belles positively giddy. This low, dainty heel is such a wonderful feminine option and a nice change from the sky high stilts that have been in the forefront recently. While we love a good stiletto, a kitten heel works so easily with almost every outfit imaginable, is practical but pretty, and is the perfect option for long-term wear. These heels are flattering to the ankle and lengthen the calf. We have selected a few that piqued our interest and caused us to make a little extra room in the closet.

Now, because we’ve hit the warmer months, finally(!!), we are leaning toward sandals (the tootsies need a little vitamin D too!!), and we have been mighty partial to Vince Camuto lately. The selection of styles has been really on-trend and they are actually comfortable to boot!

The Hilarie is a darling strappy kitten that is subtle enough to wear day or night. Flattering, feminine, flirty…fabulous!
Find it here, here and our favorite local shoe boutique, Muse Shoe Studio.

The next is also a Vince Camuto . This pair is frisky, fresh and just a touch edgy. Adore the snake skin heel. And the metallic strap seems to change from silver to gold based on what you are wearing. Available at Nordstrom, and they are 40% off so scurry along and get a pair!!! We also think they can be day-to-night and the suede front strap makes them cross over into cooler weather with ease.

Now we know some of you are timid about your tootsies and prefer a covered toe option. Not to fear, we are here to please all of our belles!

Sole Society is a great site for shoes, and we have had great luck with fashionable options at awesome price points! The Jenn is one such shoe. Available in a wide array of colors including a divine gunmetal grey. For now, though we decided our wardrobes just need a lil’ pop and the coral was just calling our names. Our tootsies did a happy dance when they slipped into the soft suede and couldn’t wait to prance around town.

Couldn’t you just eat ’em up?!?!

The next pump is a basic in our ever-so-humble opinion. We firmly believe that animal print is neutral and these kittens are ready to roar. Thank you Diane Von Furstenberg. These are timeless and every belle needs at least one pair of animal print pumps in her wardrobe. Get these wild critters here.

And we would be remiss if we didn’t show you this last pair by Michael Michael Kors. A t-strap (we are quite fond of t-strap) adds interest and style…and keeps your feet from looking gargantuan.  Dare we say that they also VERY much resemble a certain shoe that is made by Valentino??? Classy, chic, and elegant, these would be a great addition to any of our closets. Order them from Nordstrom .

So go on now, treat your tootsies…they’ve earned it!
