So here is the deal. I'm a pretty tall girl (or at least I consider myself kinda tall even though I'm just 5'7"). Boofriend, however, is not the 6'2" tall drink of water that I imagined I'd be with. Since I don't want to tower over him the way I do in my usual 3.5-5" heels, but can't deal with flats, kitten heels are the next best thing.
DID YOU KNOW
A kitten heel is a short, slender heel, usually from 3.5 centimeters (1.5 inches) to 5 centimeters (2 inches) high with a slight curve setting the heel in from the edge of the shoe. The style was popularized by Audrey Hepburn.
Now I know some of you are like, "Kitten heels? No ma'am!" But I've found some very cayute little kitten heels to make you reconsider. Once again, my taste has gotten the best of me. Champagne taste + box wine budget (a step above beer) = an unhappy Tori D. But that's okay! For now I will have to be content with just looking...
Miss Sixty
"Fef"
Retail value: $159.00 (but at the time of this blog, they are available on 6pm.com for $78.20. They only had sizes 8 & 9 though; no good for my 10/11 boats.)
When I see these shoes, I think: PARTY. Seriously, New Year's Eve, got ya little slinky silver dress on, a pair of statement earrings, and these gawgeous little things. Simple can say so much sometimes!
Jimmy Choo
"Quote"
Retail value: $595.00 (but they are available on Bluefly.com for a steal at only $476.00!)
I picture these as the "serious business" shoe. These, a black suit with a pencil skirt and a colorful button-down. Oh yes, when I grow up, these shoes will be a part of my arsenal.
Lanvin
"Kitten Heel Sandals"
Retail value: $665.00
These were my favorite pair out of all that I've seen so far. I was so heartbroken when I saw the price and couldn't find not ONE discount anywhere! I had my heart set on these, but my pocket is not cooperating. Oh well... One day my pretties!
DID YOU KNOW
They are classified as stiletto heels and despite their lack of height are generally classified as 'high heels' because of their sex appeal; particularly when teamed with a sharp pointed toe.
Weitzman 
"Class Act"
Retail price: $345.00 (found on Zappos.com at $276.00)
One look at these and you should know their ideal place: on the foot of a bride on her big day! It's elegant and fashion-forward but still appears to be comfortable. Much better than the trend I've been noticing lately: glammed-up flip-flops. Dios mio.
Hollywould
"Washington"
Retail price: $394.95 ($217.22 at endless.com)
For some reason, this particular shoe gives me "teacher." IDK. Anyway, it's such a cute little shoe! I could definitely see myself slipping into these for a lunch meeting with a client.
Hollywould
"Edita"
Retail price: $349.94 (on endless.com: $192.47)
Another business beauty from Hollywould. (And another I can't afford until I'm seriously IN BUSINESS.) One word for this one: Interviews.
DID YOU KNOW
They were introduced in the late 1950s as formal fashion attire for young adolescent teenage girls as higher heels would have been considered unseemly for girls as young as 13 because of the sexual connotations and unease of walk.
Robert Clergerie
"Pilate"
Retail price: $819.00 (Depending on what color you prefer, you can get them for $371.87-black, $385.00-cafe, or $463.28-gray)
I don't have words to tell how much I love these! I'm already a boot fanatic (even though I rarely get to wear them here in Mississippi). When I do get to don a nice pair, they usually have an incredibly high heel. That's fine for when I'll be sitting the majority of the time. However, do a little walking and I'm ready to run out of them. These are what's missing from my life! (Or at least, my wardrobe) Seeing these ensures that I will have a second job to feed my shoe habit.
Irregular Choice 
"Treacle"
Retail price: $129.95 (Amazon.com has them for $45.48)
DAMMIT TO BLOODY HELL!! The first affordable pair I find (and in royal blue, no less!) and they don't have my size! Hmmm, if I cut off my toes, I could possibly squeeze into the 9.5 after my feel healed... LOL Just jokes y'all! I know it's definitely not that serious. But these are beautiful to me! They give me a ballet vibe.
Irregular Choice
"Countess"
Retail price: $114.95 (The listing I saw for it on endless.com says $63.22 - $98.55)
Okay, seriously, how could you not find this cute? This is seriously throwback to the little Mary Janes worn in elementary school. But it's the little twists that make shoes like this a must-have for me: the unique angles of the cut, the diagonal strap, the squat round heel. Though not my idea of "sexy" they definitely have an edge to them that only a sexy someone like myself could pull off. (Unfortunately, the curse of Bigfoot strikes again... Where is that saw?!)
Irregular Choice
"Hermia"
Retail price: I couldn't even find one. Every site I tried was sold out. :( All I have are the pictures and lustful dreams of these shoes.
"ANOTHER pair of Irregular Choice?" you ask. Yes!! Don't act like you don't like it! LOL But for real, every time I look for something else I see another pair of Irregular Choice that makes me gasp a little more than the pair before. And although they seem to shun women with a little more to love down there *takes a look at my long, somewhat flat feet* I still think they're freakin awesome. And oh yes, you will be seeing more of them soon.
