Hanukkah 2011

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah!  Time for candles, dreidels, gelt, and my personal favorite: latkes!  (How I love latkes.  Some year I will get to Latkepalooza.)  In honor of the holiday, here are eight shoes for the eight nights of the Festival of Lights.

First, blue and white for the candles:

 The Musa by Michael Antonio have a blue fabric upper, five-inch heel, and fabulous white one-inch platform.  Also available in tan from Zappos for $48.

Second, yellow for the flames:

This bright beauty from Qupid has a velvet body that waves around your foot, glossy five-inch cone heel, and 1.25-inch platform.  Yours for $23 from Room of Fashion.

Third, bright pink for the plastic dreidel I always picked out in middle school from the bowl of dreidels during our multi-cultural holiday celebration:

(It should not surprise you that I always picked the pink ones.  I believe I still may have one somewhere.)  The Partyy-R is fuchsia satin with a jewelled five-inch heel, one-inch platform, and girly attitude to spare!  Also available in black, champagne, and a really lovely blue from Steve Madden for $130.

Fourth, gold for the gelt:

The Ashland by Gomax is a vision of gold glitter on a four-inch heel.  Also available in black; find them at DSW for $30.

Fifth, golden brown for tasty, tasty latkes:

Golden brown indeed!  The Sacchi by Levity is a saucy little Oxford with grosgrain ribbon laces and a 3.5-inch stacked heel.  Also available in black; pick them up at DSW for $70.

Sixth, black for the starry nights through which the menorah shines:

Perfect!  The Hafen have a 5.38-inch heel, 1.5-inch platform, and beautifully sequined outer.  Find them at Aldo for $70.

Seventh, white for the snow of a winter holiday:

The ToeTied by Beverly Feldman is as pretty as a present—it even has a rhinestone bow on the toe!  It has a 4.75-inch heel, half-inch platform, satin upper, and leather sole.  Find them at DSW for $150.

And eighth, red for the love of your family and friends:

All wrapped up in love!  (Or chiffon, as the case may be.)  The Selene by Paris Hilton has chiffon straps tied in a bow, a 4.5-inch gold heel, and a zipper up the back to let you in.  Also available in black; find them at Macy’s for $89.

Happy Hanukkah, my Jewish friends!  Happiness and latkes for all!
