It looks best when you have their heels pinned back by their head.

It means "Excited, and/or turning cartwheels to demonstrate one's excitement." The phrase originated in the 14th century as 'heels over head', meaning doing a cartwheel or somersault.
The first mention of love using "Head over heels "was comes in 1834, by which time the phrase had crossed the Atlantic, and into David Crockett's Narrative of the life of David Crockett:
"I soon found myself head over heels in love with this girl."
This appeared later in Thomas Carlyle's History of Frederick the Great, 1864, "A total circumgyration, summerset (somersault), or tumble heels-over-head in the Political relations of Europe."
However, Herbert Lawrence's Contemplative Man, 1771 is the first known citation of 'head over heels':
"He gave [him] such a violent involuntary kick in the Face, as drove him Head over Heels."

Because the guy who made up that phrase fell down his icy porch steps when he realized he was in love and went head over heels.

Because you are so in love you're head moves before your feet. You cannot think straight.
