‘Tis the season for shoes! Are you looking for the right pair of heels to wear for your upcoming holiday parties?  From office parties to formal gatherings with friends, it’s essential to choose a shoe that compliments your outfit. I’ve found some great styles that boast versatility and show-stopping elegance.

Here are my top picks that prove you don’t have to pay an arm and a leg to rock red carpet-ready style this holiday season.

Perfect Pumps

Looking to stick with a basic pump to pair with your holiday party attire? Add a peep toe style! Choose a peep toe in classic black like Heidi Klum did this past weekend at the American Music Awards.

You’ll definitely be the life of the party in this style stand-out. The elastic-gored sling strap elegantly wraps around your foot, while the rosette detail on the vamp adds a playful touch. The best part is that this sandal is on sale! 🙂

Shimmering Delight

As I’ve mentioned in past posts, metallic hued shoes are a great way to give just the right amount of drama to your look. For instance, check out  Selena Gomez at the AMA’s. She chose a metallic shoe to pair with her elegant gown.

Metallic shoes share a versatility factor that makes them perfect for a variety of outfits. What better time of year to grab a pair of gold or silver stunners than the holiday season? 🙂
