These are too cute! A perfect way to spruce up your basic pair of stilettos. The designer hails from the Caribbean and has single-handedly solved most of our over packing issues. Twenty-three year old entrepreneur Sandrysabel Ortiz from San Juan, Puerto Rico came up with the idea to transform your heels in seconds with The Heel Condoms. Now you can pack your favorite, most comfortable pair of heels with a few heel condoms and leave the other 20 pairs behind. The price range is $20-$39 and can be purchased here. Me gusta!!


Condom-like covers that let you play dress up with your shoes. These fit any stiletto type heels be they medium or high heel shoes.

Heel Condoms have many perks:
+ Make simple shoes a conversation piece
+ Mix and Match with outfits
+ Great for travel
+ Easy to wear
+ Protect heels from damage
+ Reusable

How to give your shoe a condom fix?

Simply place the elastic under your foot to keep in place and no one will notice it's there!

*When placing condom on heel please be careful, used shoe caps can break the condom.
I really like these:
Dark green satin fabric with fuchsia feathers.
$30
Beige fur fabric with black leather spots.
$20
White leather, animal print fur with thin rope and silver beads.
$39
Black suede fabric with gold buttons.
$30

I've noticed that everyone has a temporary tattoo collection. Earlier this year Chanel accessorized their models with transfer tattoos which retailed at $78.00.  BeyoncĂ©'s House of DerĂ©on and Betsey Johnson has joined the trend. This is the way to go if you want the "look" without the commitment.


Beyoncé Knowles and Tina Knowles and their licensing arm, Beyond Productions LLC, are teaming up with airbrush makeup firm Temptu to create a limited edition collection of temporary tattoos under the Deréon label.

“With a Sixties-pinup-girl meets-futuristic-biker-chick theme, BeyoncĂ© and I really wanted to give our DerĂ©on fall 2010 campaign a tough edginess,” said Tina Knowles, DerĂ©on’s founder, creative director and designer. “We decided to invite Temptu to help us create custom body art for her to model with our fashions. The resulting images were so strong that we realized consumers might want to re-create the tattoos themselves.” The tattoos are due on Nov. 1, and are available in both deluxe and basic packages. Designs include DerĂ©on’s signature fleur icon, rocker bolts and chains, jewel baubles and spider designs. All are waterproof and designed to last for two to five days.

The basic kits contains:
  • eight temporary tattoo transfer sheets with two each of the four designs;
  • 10 tattoo application pads and one of three kit designs, each featuring a different image of BeyoncĂ©, shot for the fall/winter DerĂ©on ad campaign.
The deluxe edition includes everything in the basic kit, as well as a signed photo of Beyoncé and a chance to win a trip to New York for a photo shoot.
The basic kits retail for $16 and will be available at Sephora stores in the U.S. and Canada, sephora.com, temptu.com and dereon.com. The deluxe edition, $34 and limited to 500 pieces, will be available only on temptu.com and dereon.com. A waiting list is being taken at dereon.temptu.com. Industry sources estimate the line could do upward of $200,000 at wholesale.
Get on  the waiting list:





Betsey Johnson presented her temporary skin art collection called Iconic Charms Tattoos. This collection retails at $25 for 96 tattoos. Not a bad price if you likes. You can purchase them here.
