One of the benefits of working at POPSUGAR is having so many stylish colleagues who are always willing to share fashion tips and product recommendations. Case in point: after spotting these Nine West Helmer Mules [1] ($49-$79) on shopping editor Rebecca Brown, I accosted her for the details.
I bought them in metallic gold, loved them intensely, and had to go back for another pair — so I got them in white [2].
After sharing a photo of them in my Instagram story, a handful of colleagues in different locations, including director Lindsay Miller, messaged me asking for the make and model. More pairs have been purchased [3]. The Helmer mules are now infiltrating POPSUGAR offices around the country; we've become the sisterhood of the traveling shoes!
If you're looking for an affordable way to get in on the mules trend [4], I highly recommend these. They're so comfortable (the heel is only two and a half inches), so sleek, and add instant polish to my T-shirt and jeans uniform. The on-trend pointy toe is dressy without being too formal, and they come in a variety of colors (and even a print). Shop them now, and don't blame us if you end up buying multiple pairs. Seriously, they're that good.
