Walk in heels like the ladies of Sex and the City




High heels are sexy -- no doubt. However, if you're not walking in them properly, the sexiness of the shoe won't matter -- everyone will be watching you and betting on how long it will take before you wipe out. Or, they'll be laughing at how awkward, clumsy, and out of place you look.

But wait! Don't put your stilettos in storage! We can help you look like you belong with the cast of Sex and the City. Check out the gallery for tips on how to walk in high heels like Carrie Bradshaw (plus, you can check out some really cute shoes!).

(Disclaimer: The end of the video is selling a Legwork video, which we're sure is fine, but that's totally not why we put the video on here -- it's just a short, cool little video showing how to walk in heels. Promise!)

Why aren't you wearing this? Manolo Blahnik Metallic Mary Jane


If you're going to splurge on an insanely fabulous pair of shoes, you need to ask yourself this question: Do I want a classic style that will always work, or do I want something amazingly trendy that will turn everyone's head? Because, you know, you can't have it all.

That is, unless you have these.

Nanette Lepore for Keds: Spring/Summer 2008


Oh, Keds! How do we love thee? Let us count the ways.

The white canvas and leather lace ups stayed on our feet during everyday during elementary school. And as adults, we always make sure our closets include at least two pairs of adorable printed skimmers.

Crazy cravings: the Prada Fairy bag


Yeah, we're three months late to this party, but it took a little time for us to warm up to the cartoonish design on this Prada bag.

In other words, we had to see Hilary Duff carrying it before we realized that life would be so much better if we had $2,290 to blow on a trendy bag, and an inside connection at the Prada store to help us get our hands on this one.

Celine Dion has an addiction: Can you guess what it is?


Celine Dion has a confession to make: She is an addict.

She loves to shop, and, as a result, now owns "between two and three thousand pairs of shoes," and is addicted to shoe shopping. Think about that for a second -- that was her quote. She has so many shoes that she doesn't even know which thousand she's closest to!

Giveaway! Shoe Stör boxes


It's long past the time to put away your winter shoes. Especially your boots!

But, you say, it's so hard to store boots. The boxes always wind up crushed and unstackable. Plus everyone hates not being able to see what's in which cardboard box.

For a cool solution to these challenges, enter our Shoe Stör giveaway!

CAMiLEON Heels: A fusion of fashion and function for your feet


We love high heels. We love wearing high heels. We just don't always love walking in high heels. And, of course, we could always carry a pair of flip flops or origami emergency shoes around with us, sometimes that's just not feasible. What to do then? Suffer? We think not -- meet our new favorite shoe, CAMiLEON Heels!

Why aren't you wearing this? Pink madras fabric sandal


It's always fun to add a splash of color or an interesting pattern with your shoes, especially in the summer when your legs tend to be more bare. And, as we've mentioned before, we kind of love a preppy plaid. So what could be better than wearing a fun, bright plaid as a shoe?

The "most expensive flip-flops in the world"


Attention all suckers for luxury products -- this is the shoe for you. These flip-flops are made with a "patent pending ultra-sports shoe base" and feature "hand-matched crocodile straps for magnificent comfort."

Somehow, this means that they're worth $400 -- a price so high, that it makes these rather unfortunate looking sandals are the "most expensive production flip-flops in the world."

MOB X Colette x Reebok


She's baaaaack.

After dropping a rather forgettable spring line full of tees and jackets covered in four-leaf clovers and pink kisses, women's streetwear designer Leah McSweeney of Married To The Mob gets ready to reclaim her throne as the undisputed HBIC in this niche market with the drop of her rather impressive limited-edition sneaker -- which is in collaboration with Reebok and cooler than thou French boutique Colette.

Wish your porn-star heels could count stairs? Now they can!

For those times when the world needs to know that you'll exchange sex for money, you can't go wrong with a pair of shockingly-tall, black leather stilettos. But what most hookers don't realize is that you don't have to forgo fitness while you're pacing poorly-lit street corners and schlepping up stair cases to the untidy apartments of lonely pervs.

In fact, you don't even need a separate stair-counter for your working-girl workouts -- all thanks to these new heels from Costume National.

Ask StyleDash: What should I wear with these shoes for a wedding?

Dear StyleDash,

I have a daytime, dressy-casual family wedding to attend in June, in a Catholic church. I have great shoes to wear, but I don't know what to wear with them. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Caitlin

Why aren't you wearing this? Gola Chorus sneakers


Most of us have days involving a hundred errands in nearly as many places, meaning we've got a full day on our feet ahead of us. And, while sometimes a cute sandal or flat will work, sometimes a girl just wants a good, comfy pair of sneakers. However, deciding to sport a sneaker doesn't mean you have to give up on style!

What do high heels and 600 pound gorillas have in common?


There's no doubt that we love the way our legs look in extremely high heels -- put us in a 4" or 5" heel, and we'll show you legs that seem to go on forever, like our pal Gwyneth Paltrow over to the right. However, the New York Times recently had an article about the high, high heel and how women walk in them.

And, of course, the answer is the same as how one would move a 600 pound gorilla -- very carefully.
