I Stumbled Upon Hot Chocolate Design's Shoes, And It Made My LIFE.

Chocolaticas Notebook flats, $69.99

Bacon and Eggs Mary Janes, $69.99

Oh. My. Goodness. 

​Amazon's got this great little page called Interesting Finds, where they show you cute urban home and clothing items. They claim it's "updated daily," though I feel like I mostly see the exact same stuff every time I visit...

Until today, when I discovered Hot Chocolate Design, a Venezuelan shoe brand created by Carolina Aguerrevere and Pablo Martinez.

These shoes are anything but bland... 

Bon Voyage Women's Flat, $69.99.

And, at approximately $69.99 a pop (for flats -- the heels are a little more expensive), they're one of the more affordable pedal luxuries. 

Lemon Women's Mary Jane Flat, $69.99.

As a play expert (:P), I love the playful, childlike, and nostalgic designs:

Jax Mary Jane Flats, $69.99

Popcorn Mary Jane Flats, $69.99

As an athlete, I'm delighted to have found such adorable shoes that won't hurt my feet -- my most valuable piece of sporting equipment. And as a 6'0 woman, I'm happy to have found shoes I can wear without towering over everyone, unable to hear what the people down below are talking about. 

Mariquita Women's Mary Jane Flat, $54.49

But, of course, if you want to tower -- or just get a little extra length or shape in your lower legs -- you can also check out some of the heels. I kind of liked these space-y, physics-y-looking ones:

Paint Women's Mary Jane Pump, $94.99

​And these stormy-looking ones:

High Heels Storm, $94.99

They say that one important factor of modern design is the OOBE, or "out-of-box experience." Hot Chocolate Design has totally nailed it. Forget your average, boring shoe box. Your shoes are going to arrive in this:

​Or possibly this:

Fun, right?

Almost as fun as these One Wolf Moons! 

 
I'm kidding -- those might be a bit too much for me...

But at least 26 women on Amazon loved them! 

And, like, okay. I'm still not 100% sure I'll end up ordering any of these, because they're all so attention-grabbing. But then again, I did wear a Bettie Page dress with orange cars all over it last weekend, so maybe they're not that​ much crazier than what I already wear...

Either way, I had a blast exploring the different designs -- and hope you do, too.
