OMG…

You have to check out this shoe.

It’s the Haus of Price Mega Bootie and it sold out in a mere nanosecond (i.e. around one day) on preorder at Solestruck.  But, I thought you might want to feast your eyes on its candy-covered deliciousness anyway (btw, those are gems, not actually candy).  If you enjoy the thrill of the chase, be sure to sign up at Solestruck to get notified when more stock comes in.  They are $334.95 and should be available again in late April.

Update: Here’s another colorful Haus of Price option, the Haus of Price Cage Wedge in multi gem.  It’s available for $228 at Karmaloop.

Amazon is having a President’s Day Sale that takes up to 70% off select shoes.  There are tons of options, but the Chinese Laundry Hide and Seek mesh bootie pictured above is definitely a steal at $26.99 with free shipping (list price $89.95).  Another hot option is the Lauren Jones Vicki double platform peep toe pump in blue for $34.32 with free shipping (list price $109), but few sizes are left.

Valentine’s Day is coming up and I, for one, am already feeling the love - the shoe love, that is.  When it comes to what you wear on the day, anything goes, but it’s one of those holidays that tends to bring out our romantic side.  For shoes, that can translate into anything from sweet and girly to fiercely seductive - depending on the desired effect - but with plenty of feminine details.  And if you really want to get into the V-day spirit, you wear the classic team colors of pink and red.  That’s why I’ve gathered up a selection of shoes that I think are perfect for the day.  But, before I get into that, you’re probably wondering about the shoes pictured above, right?  An image of these dramatic platforms popped up in the shopping results while I was doing a search on Google and I had to post the pic because they are just so…heart-tastic.  Then I found out they are sold by a site that specializes in selling shoes for dancers (ok, strippers).  But if you want to know where to get them, they are sold for $199.95 at a site appropriately called Booty Cocktails (lol) and they are actually hand-carved and custom made with each order.  Admittedly, I think they are pretty cool, but obviously very extreme.  If you want to express your Valentine’s Day cheer in a much more subtle way, here are some more options:

The Paris Hilton Senorita in red with rhinestone bow for $89 at Macy’s.  Or, get the red patent version without rhinestones for $95 at Shoes.com.  Coupon code VISA takes 20% off to drop the total to $76 with free shipping (exp. 6/30, may require Visa payment).  A soft pink version is for sale at 6pm for $53.37.

The Chinese Laundry Hot Hot glitter heels in a whisper-soft shade of blush for $69.95 with free shipping at Zappos.

Poetic Licence Dance All Night in red for $104.27 with free shipping at Zappos.

Jessica Simpson Ely in powder for $98 with free shipping at Piperlime.

Steve Madden Propperr in red for $99.95 at Steve Madden.  Coupon code rmn15f takes another 15% off and adds free shipping, making them $84.96.

The Vivienne Westwood Anglomania + Melissa Lady Dragon IV in pink on sale for $126 at 6pm.

Sam Edelman Jewel for $99 with free shipping at Shoes.com.  Coupon code VISA drops the price to $79.20 (exp. 6/30, may require Visa payment).

Charles by Charles David Froth for $125.95 with free shipping at Zappos.

For something more casual, there’s the Comme Des Garcons Play Converse with heart, available for $105 at Tobi.

Finally, you have to check these out just for fun: The Minimy Lipstick Bootie features a heart buckle and a heel that looks like a tube of lipstick.  Alberto Guardiani did something similar that retailed for around $400, but these are just $19.98 at Amazon, marked down from $59.99.  Few sizes are left.

Update: Here’s another pretty pair, Qupid Gaze chiffon heels for $36 at LuLu’s.

Here’s to plenty of shoe love for Valentine’s Day!

I hope everyone had a very happy holiday!  I certainly did - one of the very best Christmases ever, actually - and afterwards I realized that all of the holiday wishes I mentioned in my last post actually came true for me!  I’m so thankful for that and had to share with you guys.  Here’s what I mean:

I mentioned a ”sprinkle of something magical” and I had many moments this year that I would describe in that way.  From being treated to an absolutely spectacular firework show at an outdoor Christmas Eve service, to receiving a very special - and sentimental - surprise gift from my hubbie, to watching my little girl’s excitement as she spotted a red flashing light in the night sky on Christmas Eve (and being convinced that this was Rudolph) - these were the moments that I’ll never forget.  There was also one more thing:

I mentioned “lots of cozy” with a snowy scene pictured, but I didn’t anticipate that this would happen where I live.  We don’t get snow all that often, especially not on Christmas (it hasn’t happened on the 25th in over 20 years to give you an idea).  But, we woke up on Christmas Day to discover a total winter wonderland outside of our window (pictured above) and, needless to say, we were giddy with excitement.  It was spectacular, completely unexpected and made our day even more special.

The icing on the cake?  I got some cute shoes under the tree!  My sister, who knows just what a girl wants, got me the purple Nine West Blondie feather heels I mentioned in a previous post.  I was beyond thrilled to get these - they are super-hot!!  I had to return them for a different size - otherwise I would’ve posted one of my own pics instead of the stock photo - but I’ll have to share some pics in a future post when I get my replacement.  I can’t wait to wear these out!  A big thanks to my sweet sis!!

If you had some super-special moments this holiday - or some hot shoes as a gift - I’d love to hear about it!  Leave a comment here or on Facebook.

Also, I’m taking a bit of a computer vacation this week, so I won’t be posting as often, but I do hope everyone has a very happy New Year!!  I’m looking forward to the shoes of 2011!
