Two Lips Kitty Kat

Two LipsKitty Kat boots are super fun and sexy. They are a perfect addition to any wardrobe and go with just about anything. From your favorite pair of skinny jeans or with a skirt and tights, they are perfect-o!

Our little Heaven was rocking these sky-high boots today at the Zappos.com Headquarters. One of the biggest trends to hit the industry this season has been over-the-knee boots. And not to be outdone, Two Lips™ has been a major player in that trend.

The Kitty Kat boots are comfortable, and Miss Heaven can testify to that. "I have been wearing them for about five hours or so and my feet don’t hurt at all," she said.

As women, we know that comfort is key when it comes to buying shoes or boots. As we head into the winter months, we realize that warmth is important. Heaven also told us that she was warm and comfy in her Two Lipsboots. These Kitty Kats will appeal to fashionistas everywhere! We no longer have to exchange fashion for comfort! One can stay warm and look hot in boots like these. The lace-up feature on the back of the calf allows you to get a perfect fit and flexible suede provides versatility in how you choose to wear them. They can be worn up or slouched a little to suit your personal look.

Wear This, Not That

Indian Summer Boots, Not Gladiator Sandals
Ease the pain of parting with gladiator sandals this fall with a pair of open-toed, slouchy boots. The ruched details give these flat boots a warrior edge, so you won't feel completely lost without your sandals. Plus, you can still display your pretty pedicure.

Slip-Free!
This is not about your choice of fall undergarments, but about your footwear. Fashion mavens no longer have to choose between being looking good and treading safely. The latest fashion boots provide no-slip protection with tread on the bottom, and all fashion on the top. Fall boots with treads will help you trod over wet leaves without worrying about falling, and you will be prepared for that first surprise snow storm which sneaks up on you.

Seeing Red, Not Pink
Our collective fashion love affair with pink is coming to an end. Warm red replaces pink, on lips, on dresses, purses and shoes. The proliferation of all things 1940s brings us a warm red lipstick color, splashed across the fashion spectrum.

Curvy, Not Square Hobos
The ever-popular Hobo back is getting into a new shape. Seek out half-moon shaped bags with contrasting handles. These new hobos are more defined, less slouchy, smaller and yes, cuter than their larger counterparts.

Not Your Little Girl's Rain Boots
Only some people can pull off wearing the color yellow near their face. If you adore the color yellow and want to wear it in a flattering and grown up way, a pair of heeled yellow rain boots may be for you.

Asymmetrical, Not Balanced
Take the Grecian theme to a new level, with an asymmetrical dress. You may have two great shoulders, but showing only one, while the other is covered is both classical and futuristic. You'll look like a Grecian-infused Goddess with a Star Trek flair in the one-shoulder top. Pair it with a matching pair of leggings and a pair of purple boots.

Office Style: Stay Comfortable in Heels at the Office

Jul 30, 2009 by Sabah K.

If you work in an office that adheres to a business casual or professional dress code, selecting the right types of shoes for every ensemble can be a bit of a challenge. How do you find the perfect balance between heel height, comfort and style? While some office mavens can get away with platform pumps and stiletto heels, your feet and legs may not be in prime shape to tackle the stairs and long trek across the building in a pair of skinny heels. However, there are some ways to stay comfortable in high heels, like with Mary Janes and kitten heels for those long days that you're on your feet.

If you choose to wear stiletto pumps or another style of skinny heel, consider adding a few gel pads for extra support on the ball of your foot. The balls of your feet absorb most of the pressure from wearing those extra-high heels, and if you plan on trotting around on them for over an hour, the extra support will prevent foot pain and soreness.

When you're wearing kitten heels, consider wearing a thin no-show sock so that your feet aren't slipping out of the shoe easily. Kitten heels are a great, classy alternative to the standard pump for the office, but they can feel like a pair of sandals if they're not cut very high. Wearing a thin pair of socks with these shoes can make the shoe much more comfortable and will prevent your foot from slipping out.

If you decide to wear a pair of booties with a high heel for the day, make sure you've practiced walking up stairs and on elevated floors with them. Booties and boots will constrict your ankles, which means you can't climb very easily. If you know you're going to be tackling escalators or flights of stairs during the day, make sure you're comfortable making the climb in these constrictive shoes.

Mary Jane pumps are great for the office, but even a platform shoe or a thick heel can put some pressure on the balls of your feet and calves. Wear some padded insoles or gel support cushions if you plan on wearing tight leather shoes for several hours so you can get the support you need.

Finding the shoe that fits for your office ensembles can take time. Make sure the heels you choose can provide the comfort and support you need to get through those long days that you'll be on your feet.
