Here’s where it starts to get tricky. Finding shoes that are cute and durable for under 10 bucks is tough..especially since you want quality, because well, they’re gonna get some wear, and they need to last. For that reason, I think we’re gonna cheat on this one: while we’re still on our 10 for 10 scavenger hunt, how about for footwear, we try and stay under 20 bucks? That way, we can still find cute shoes, but still have some money in our wallets. Face it, there’ll come the day when dropping $200 + on shoes won’t even phase us, but for now, we shall improvise.

Someone asked if I own the heels pictured in my Heel Compendium post. Unfortunately I don’t (some of those are really hot though so I wish), but I thought I’d showcase a few that I DO own so that I can try to use that guide to break down what’s going on style-wise with these pairs of shoes. It’s like taking off the fashionista training wheels lol.
Anyway so these are my four favorite pairs of heels, each representing a different heel type. I literally picked them out of my closet, stuck them on my window ledge, and took pictures of them in the morning light (hence all the romantic soft blue light). They’re all on the relatively newer/less-used side of my shoe collection. More »
Despite all the achey feet and thin wallets they cause me, I am madly in love with heels.
I’m so confused by all the different kinds of heel types though that I finally decided to do some research (i.e. spend an hour on Wikipedia and Google images) to figure out the terminologies once and for all. For some reason there doesn’t exist a satisfactory comprehensive explanation of heel types, so I set out to make one myself. Here it is - Ming’s grand compendium of heels.
These are pretty much all the terms I have ever heard when it comes to shopping for heels and a corresponding picture/description. Hopefully if nothing else we can all be a bit better educated about what kinds of heels we’re wearing. Definitely comment with corrections or additions since I am far from being an expert.
(Note: I organized the list into three categories since it seems to me there are some general shoe types within which you can have pretty much any combination of toe and heel.) More »
