Girlie, fun and definitely flirty...

These pearlized fuchsia peep-toe beauties are fabulous for any woman who needs a little fun in her life (or just likes to have fun period). These heels have a tall heel and a platform sole. Surprisingly, they have lots of cushion for our comfort. These babies have two straps and an open portion on the outside of each heel. Each heel also has a small buckle and two cutouts above the peep-toe portion.

These heels are too detailed for my words, and the photo does not do them justice. Go to Bakers for a better view. :)

These bright pink beauties are perfect for dates, girls' nights and any other fun event. Not that you need an excuse to wear pink, but if you did... you will L-O-V-E these heels.

BAKERS Zola Heels

BAKERS
Style: 1238 Zola
Color: 28-Orange
Size: 7M
Purchase Location: BAKERS
Purchase Price: $49.99

Fashion-forward.

These gorgeous orange peep-toe heels are exquisite right down to the beautiful buckle details. These heels provide a little more cushion than a lot of heels, but you may want to add in your own inserts anyway for even more cushion. Without measuring, I think the heel height is 4". These heels seem fairly well-constructed. While the tan strap seems slightly flimsy (or not of high quality material), the rest of the shoe seems well-made and of decent quality.

I purchased a size 7 because that was the closest size in stock to mine (usually 7.5). The size 7 is a little snug, but still worth it for such great style and beauty.

These heels are fun, yet sophisticated and are perfect for special occasions, luncheons, or simply pairing with jeans (and a cute top). You may even be able to wear these stylish heels to work, depending on your workplace and how much walking/standing you do.

I highly recommend these gorgeous heels.

Fall in Love With Guess

Guess by Marciano
Style: Carrie680
Color: Light Pink
Size: 8M
Purchase Location: Dillard's
Purchase Price: originally $90 (now on sale for under $30)

I love pink, and pink loves me!

These gorgeously baby pink, closed-toe heels are just what I 'needed' for my shoe collection. I may even wear them for my wedding next summer... The height is perfect (I believe they are 4" heels), and the color is so elegant. These heels do provide some cushion for your comfort. The quality is moderate, and I recommend putting "non-slips" on the bottom of the shoes as they are slippery. ***This is actually a good idea for most heels anyway to help prevent them from wearing on the bottoms.

These shoes would be great for most workplaces, luncheons, breakfasts and simply paired with jeans. I absolutely LOVE wearing heels with jeans (2 of my favorite things).

I highly recommend these heels to any woman who loves pink or just loves heels! :)

I love these heels!

You may not be able to find these heels at Bakers anymore, but if you can find them on eBay, I highly recommend these beautiful, white, strappy sandal heels.

These heels are perfect for a summer day with a dress, skirt or dressy shorts. These shoes might not be appropriate for most work places. However, every woman needs some heels for herself, not just for work. These heels are great for special occasions like weddings, graduations, etc.

I also love this color!!!

However, the size 8 in the same style is a little too large for my feet. I prefer the 7.5 if wearing for longer periods of time. I bought both pairs (in different sizes) to test how they wear because they both fit fine when I tried them on in the store. I bought these shoes at different times so there may be many variables with the fit.

Wild Diva's Bronze Heels

Wild Diva (R)
Style: Cosmo-06
COlor: Bronze
Material: SNAKE PU
Size: 7.5
Purchase Location: www.cutesygirl.com
Price: under $10

Subtle beauty in metallic.

These bronze, snake-skin-looking heels have shorter than 4" heels, a subtle metallic look and a little cushion. These heels are a little more comfortable in the 7.5 size than the Anne Michelle Chrome-59 style (also in size 7.5).

These heels are great for work, luncheons and dinner dates. I recommend these shoes if you already have your basic colors and styles in your wardrobe and would like to add to your basics. I would not begin your wardrobe/ collection with these heels as they are not very high quality. If you plan to wear particular heels more often, then it might be worth your money to purchase higher-end heels (at least for your main/ staple shoes). However, the price is very good if you have been a shoe 'collector' like me... If you do not plan to wear these heels often, then the quality is fine.

Anne Michelle's Golden Shoes

Color: GLDPU
Size: 7.5

Price: under $10

Metallic is in!

These bright gold, quilted heels are fun yet sophisticated, as they have pointed closed-toes. These heels fit a little snug in the 7.5, which is usually my size. (I do wear some size 8 shoes. Maybe the 8 in this style would have fit me better.) I recommend trying a half a size larger than you usually wear in heels because of these heels' particular shape, style and fit. These heels are narrow and low-cut on the heel portion. I recommend trying on these shoes before buying, buying one half size larger (and using inserts if necessary) OR buying in your normal size if you do not mind your feet getting a little squished...

These heels are perfect for work (if sitting at a desk much of the day), luncheons, dinner dates and special occasions. I do recommend these heels as they are very pretty and stylish. Metallics are in! However, these heels are not very comfortable. So if you stand or walk much of the day, I would recommend you save these for a day when you will not be on your feet as much.

Hot!!!

These black, strappy, skyhigh heels are so sexy. These heels are fantastic for a hot date, a night out with the girls or just to show off your new pedicure.

These shoes provide a little cushion, lots of height and a whole new attitude... Seriously, these are hot heels. I recommend these heels if you have a hot date coming up or just want to feel even sexier than you already are. They go great with lingerie...

Every woman deserves a go-to sexy pair of heels (actually, we deserve more than one pair). :)

Color: BLKKPU

Sophisticated style, sexy height.

These sleek and stylish black, closed-toe heels are great for work and dinner parties. The spikes and toes of the heels are shiny, while the rest of the body of the heels are made up of a matte material with tiny cut-out circle and square designs. The heels have a very interesting look, yet in a subtle way.

The heels have very little cushion and tend to slip off my feet (not because the size is wrong) because the material is fairly flimsy and slick.

I recommend these shoes, as they are stylish and inexpensive, IF you can invest in shoe cushions for the soles and non-slip grips for the inside (on the back, closest to your ankles) of the heels. Just keep your size and the 'grip-factor' in mind when you go to purchase these shoes. If you plan to adhere cushions and grips to the shoes, you may want to order a half size larger because cushions do take up room in the shoes, but the thickness of the cushions (and grips) do vary. Because the material is slick and flexible, that may allow enough room for proper fitting of cushions and grips in your original size. Conclusion: These heels would be best to try on in person first if at all possible.

Spicy hot!

These shiny silver and red glittery heels are sure to catch everyone's eyes. These heels make a bold, look-at-me statement. From the beautiful details to the tall height, these heels are two amazing pieces of art.

These heels are perfect for a hot date, girls' night out or a night of salsa dancing. (You might want to add inserts then, of course.) These shoes do provide some cushion, but it is always best to add your own inserts for extra cushion. :)

These shoes are not high-end designer quality, but they are pretty amazing for only $14.99!

Hot, flirty and fun!

I absolutely LOVE these bright, neon pink peep-toe heels. The detailed silver belt-like buckle over the toes is one of my favorite features. When I wear these heels, I literally get at least three compliments on them from complete strangers (women and men of all ages). They are fun heels that skyrocket confidence. These heels are higher than 4”, which is perfect for me since I am only 5’6”.

These heels are perfect for a girls’ night, a hot date or just for fun! They look fabulous with jeans and skirts/ dresses. I highly recommend these heels to all women who love wearing heels and have a slight wild streak. These shoes are a little loud, but they make a statement of confidence.

Although the construction is not designer quality, these heels are amazing, especially for only $14.99!

Wow!

These fabulously bright pink heels are a mix of Mary-Janes and slingbacks with a very cool peep-toe twist. These shoes make a very fun and artistic statement. They are more comfortable than most heels, but you can always add shoe inserts for extra comfort.

My sister gave me these shoes as a gift, which I absolutely LOVE. I wear these heels quite often, as my favorite color is pink. Also, the style of the shoes is really amazing. The heel height is higher than 4", which I love. If you feel intimidated by the taller heights, practice, practice, practice in taller heels... or simply find a shorter heel and eventually work your way higher. Remember to be comfortable and confident in your shoes.

These shoes are really great for girls' nights, dates and dinner parties. However, I wear them for work also. If you like incorporating a splash of color into your outfit, then these shoes are a great way to add that extra something.

Delicious & a Great Buy!

Price: $9.99

Stylish and a great buy at $9.99.

These black peep-toe heels are very pretty. The heel height is under 4" so these shoes should not seem as intimidating (or as challenging to walk in) as some of the higher stiletto heels that I prefer. The details on these shoes are pretty amazing- a medium-size, flat bow adds a feminine flavor while the monochromatic striping along the sides of the shoes adds sophistication.

These black heels are a great buy for only $9.99, but I would not spend much more than that on these shoes. The stitching appears to be very simple. I have only owned these shoes for a couple of months so I am still uncertain about how well the shoes will hold up over time. The fabric is thin and flimsy, and the shoes lack any cushion. I highly recommend buying shoe cushion inserts for these heels.

My sister's bridesmaids wore these heels for her wedding because they are very stylish. However, by the end of the ceremony, most of the bridesmaids threw their heels in a pile and traded them for flip-flops. In the shoes' defense, I confess that many of the girls just were not comfortable wearing heels period. I, however, LOVE to wear heels, and I will continue to wear these shoes for special occasions. Afterall, they do look fantastic, but I did add shoe inserts for some cushion.

Red Hot Enzo Angiolini

Bold, sexy and unique...

These red croc peep-toe heels are one-in-a-million. They are sexy and sleek, without being over-the-top. They make a simple yet powerful statement. You will feel even sexier the moment you slip into them! I cannot tell you how many compliments I get on these shoes. They may be difficult to find now, but if you can, I recommend buying them for special occasions and days when you need a little pick-me-up. Red heels encourage one's sense of confidence. These shoes are perfect for a big date, a professional presentation and/or an important meeting.

The heel height is under 4" so these shoes are great for those of you who love heels but prefer shorter heels. These heels have a slim sole so there is not much cushion for comfort. On the positive side, the lack of bulk on the shoe helps add to its sleek appearance. I would recommend purchasing some sort of shoe inserts/sole cushions if you plan to wear them for long periods. Inserts are available at Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens, Macy's and many shoe stores.

Very chic.

These beautiful brown croc peep-toe heels have a fair amount of cushion so they are surprisingly comfortable. The design leaves one side of the heel open. These shoes make a sexy, yet sophisticated fashion statement all on their own. Now, imagine pairing these shoes with an amazing pencil skirt. Talk about wow factor!

These heels are classic and very stylish. These heels are great for work, dinner parties, dates and meeting the girls for Sunday brunch. These heels are a a definite must-have for every style conscious woman.
