DC ON HEELS DAZZLING SHOE PICKS

It's time for my favorite blog segment because it involves one of my passions in life: S-H-O-E-S. What? Too shallow? I didn't say it was my only passion but it's certainly high up there on the list. Not to mention the fact that our name is  DC ON HEELS and with a name like that; we have to step out in style. It's a good thing the name fits our obsession and favorite past time--shoe shopping. And now it's time for  HEEL OF THE WEEK  sponsored by Shoe Dazzle. It's so much fun getting my little pink box in the mail and  knowing that I have the perfect shoe  right on its way!

Shoe Dazzle makes it fun, affordable and simple. Their team of stylists pick out a shoe and showcase it in your "showroom" based off of the simple questionnaire and personalized style quiz that you took when you set up your account. 

So in my showroom this month, recommended by Anya Sarre, are these fabulous faux leather ankle boots with a sculptured rosette called "York."

I love this light heather grey color that this bootie comes in, as I feel like grey is such a versatile color that you can pair up with just about anything in your closet. Here is how Shoe Dazzle says to rock them: 

HOW TO WEAR

York isn't afraid of being distinctive--she stands out! Make sure your outfit is equally provocative; try a crinkly faux leather jacket over a slouchy tunic and some cropped riding pants, or echo York's feminine side in a floaty, sleeveless top. 

ABOUT THE STYLE

Origin:                 Imported

Fit:                        True to size

Color:                  Grey

Heel Height:     3.25" heel*

Description:     Faux leather ankle boot with sculptural rosette

And in Markette's showroom this week are these sassy delightful wedges called "Ciji."

HOW TO WEAR

Live on the wedge! In smooth faux suede, Ciji provides an easy way to elevate your look. Sky-high platform wedges are hot right now--and always sexy. Ciji extends the long, lean lines of skinny jeans or bare legs with a miniskirt. Shoes this high have major impact on their own, so think pared-down accessories like earrings and a cuff or just a beautiful necklace.

ABOUT THE STYLE

Heel Height:     4" heel*

Platform:           1.5" platform

Origin:                Imported

Fit:                      True to size

OK if the shoe fits...wear it!

Kitchen Confessionals and Heel of the Week

KITCHEN CONFESSIONALS:

Cooking doesn't always come easy to everyone.. We've all at one point in our life had a kitchen disaster story. I'm sure even my hero Paula Deen has been there once or twice.

So Lauren DeSantis (of Capital Cooking), Markette, and myself decided to share our worst experience in the cocina with you--Spatula gone wild, chicken pot pie gone wrong, and pumpkin pie forgotten... What's your kitchen confessional? Leave us a comment below and share with us your kitchen story! But if the saying is true that you have to go through the bad to get to the good then it's all gravy baby!

HEEL OF THE WEEK:

Sometimes us girls need a lift, but we're not always in the mood to wear a heel. That's why a wedge is the perfect balance of height and comfort. I love this weeks heel of the week by Nina Cortney. This woven wedge has a 4" heel lined with leather and is the perfect fit to any summer day.

And for only $100 and free shipping from Zappos it's a win win situation. That will put a smile on any girls face. So get to ZAPPING.

I don't want to leave the boys out as finding that perfect summer sandal can be a real challenge. So my advice and personal preference is for guys to keep it simple stupid--and opt for the classic Havainas Brasil. These flip flops are available in every color you could ever want, are super comfortable and casual and look great on anyone. Oh and for $21 buy a few pairs. Get your basic colors like black and brown and then throw in a fun color like the blue shown below! So there you have it guys. Now get to ZAPPING.
