Weekend Wish List: Hot Chocolate Design
Hot Chocolate Design came onto my radar a few years ago via a Facebook ad. You know, those annoying pops up on your side bar which make you wonder if Big Brother is really watching. How did Facebook know that I am an incurable shoe addict with a penchant for strange and whimsical footwear? I know, I know, it’s all about algorithms and search history and all that stuff. But weird still, no?
*This is not a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. I have not been compensated in any way for this publication.
In any event, it is how I came across this innovative accessories brand founded in 2004 by a Venezuelan couple who wanted to produce a unique and creative brand for customers who were fleeing away from the uniformity and rigidity of mass produced products. In the words of founders Pablo Martínez and Carolina Aguerrevere:
Offering the most creative and unique designs in shoes, bathing suits, purses, bags, and home products, Hot Chocolate Design produces limited collections so that retired products take on the status of collector’s items for many of their fans. They provide free two day shipping but they do currently only ship within the United States. However, if you live outside of the U.S., that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy all the pretty designs that I am going to share. Without further adieu, check out some of my favorite things from Hot Chocolate Design.

Thanks for checking them out, Suzy! I know what you mean about wanting more fun shoes available in brick and mortar stores. I need to try these things on before purchasing. Shoes are one of the hardest things to order on line…if they don’t fit right, you are just doomed. There’s no alterations for shoes and online returns are annoying at best!

Hi again my unicorn friend! The unicorn mary jane shoes are the ones I ordered the other day! They should be delivered tomorrow I hope! They’ll be my second pair of HCD Chocolaticas! I’ve already got the cupid ones! They’re so cute and comfy. I can’t wait for my unicorn shoes! 😉 XXX

Oh wow, Sasha! I would be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous that you have unicorn shoes on the way! And that is really great to know that their shoes are comfortable…as I don’t currently own any from Hot Chocolate Design and I am always skeptical about buying shoes online because you never know how they will fit. Thanks so much for sharing. And enjoy your new unicorn shoes!
