Stiletto Stockings

Ah, the Christmas stocking: the appetizer before the meal! I’ve always loved stockings—picking out just the right one, putting your name on it, setting it out for Santa, seeing it Christmas morning jammed full of candies and little toys (and an orange in the toe, of course!). Trend I love: the high heeled stocking! (This should not come as a surprise.) Why shouldn’t your stocking be just as fashionable as you are? Pier 1 has a bunch, but I prefer this one:

Ivory! Gold! Ruffles! Lace! Poinsettias! God, it’s beautiful, isn’t it? Worthy of Marie Antoinette. I may pick one up myself! If you’re similarly inclined, it’s $35.

Look at this one—Mrs. Claus all sexy-fied!

Ho ho ho! Fur, gold accents... and it comes in red or black! Even better: it’s only $10. Find it at FunRomanticGifts.com. How about suede? *Sigh.* How I wish these were real shoes. Aren’t all those flowers adorable? Yours for $59 from Etsy seller Zorradina. She’s got a few, actually: Red is so festive! And that’s a really nice bow on the back. This one’s $49. One more from her: Lace and beads! And look at that gorgeous print—it’s like something out of a Venetian carnival. This one is $49 too. Another Etsy seller all over this: Arkathwyn. A Victorian bootie! Look at the buttons and all the beadwork—to die for. This one is just over $146, and hey, it comes in green too! Nice. Feeling crafty? She also sells the pattern so you can make it how you like. Better get a move on—Christmas is coming, people!
