This weeks Fashion Friday is about a girls best friend (besides diamonds!) Shoes & purses. And this week its about booties. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with getting a pair. I’m waiting for a great sale before I make a commitment.
These are the Chula Ankle Boots by Carlos Santana.
These 2 tone boots are ADORABLE!! I love the reptile printed fabric on the rounded toe and they have my favorite thing: a hidden platform! They are 4 inches and to die for. Absolutely to die for! Thoughts?
Can you see it? Tights + tunic + These boots+chunky jewelry? YES!!
These can be found at Macy’s for $119. Not bad at all. Not bad.

OMG, who is this shoe maker? This design is absolute HEAVEN!
I know I can’t afford this, because apparently, Gianvito Rossi is like a shoe GOD! This design is flipping great!

Fashion Friday stomps on!
Red Suede Booties. something about the pleating of this bootie wowed me. You have to be a killer fashionista to pull this of, and to afford them.
These Moschino Suede Booties will cost you $660. But they are KILLER! That patent leather bow is a bravo. They are 4inches even if they don’t look it and of course they have a hidden 1/2 inch platform.
I’ve never had a pair of Italian shoes, or as Aldo Rein would say, EYE-talian shoes.
Yay or Nay?

Who doesn’t love a 4 inch heel that feels like its 3 inches??
I introduce you to the Pour La Victorie Adriane boot. What I love about it:
Hidden 1-inch platform
4 inch heel
Zippers
I love the “thicker” heel. Traditional stilettos aren’t for me, these are perfect. They have such edge to them. I just want to wear them every day.
They cost $319 and can be found at a Nordstrom near you. I will admire from afar. But damn they’d look good on me.

Deja Shoe!
When I saw these Rampage “Brittany’ boots, I immediately liked them, because they resembled these Jessica Simpson Yana boots from last winter that I had my eye on.
I tried them on Nordstroms .. and Lord & Taylor but the calf was just a little tighter than I would have liked. I mean, seriously, look at the similarities of these boots
-both have side zippers
-both have a closure asthetic feature on the back of the opening. (which I absolutely LOVE)
-both have a slouch feature.
Jessica Simpson’s boot is slightly higher (which is A-OK to me) and fits slightly closer to the knee. I also like that her boot has a more square toe. But if you did a double glance you’d swear they were the same boot!

On this weeks edition of Fashion Friday I have some boots for you guys. Not too many but just enough to tease you as we go into fall. Let’s start off with these Guess Buster boots (the name amuses me).
I love these boots, I’ve never been really big on Guess shoes. I may just have a thing for brown suede, but either way they are nice to me. They also come in black, but black can be a little BORING!
My favorite accent is the leg warmer material at the top of this 4 inch stacked heel boot. I also like the strap at the top of the calf, In case you’re new to this. I need as much extra calf room as possible since mine are HUGE. Too huge for my little feet!
So, thanks Guess for the Buster Boot.
Sorry, I couldn’t find a bigger and better photo! I’ll have to hit up the local Macy’s for some “live action shots.”

Sigh …
I hate when bad things happen to shoes. I want to take names and kick ass… This is a:
Fashion FAIL!
Who did this to this poor shoe?? And bless the poor soul that actually bought them.
Found these via Fredericks of Hollywood as well .they are called the “lambskin cuffed sandal.” So many things wrong here .. the buttons? are those really buttons or are they accents that look like buttons? Too much toe. That whole half boot trend is a fine line to be teetered, and you my dear designer have failed. Super fail … Where is JessDubb so she can put her big red FAIL all over it! LOL
All I can say is just bad… bad… bad…

My only gripe with Bakers shoes is that I’ve had some that were extemely poorly made. Not every pair, but a few. However, they do stock some pretty cute shoes.
Say Hi to the Parisien boot.
I like this bootie because of the slouch knit thing. They too have a 3/4 inch hidden platfrom on a 4 1/2 inch heel. They are black leather/sweater and will run you about $100. I like the idea of having on dark denim and having them tucked in the boot. I can imagine me rocking these. Or with a cute sweater dress and tights. LOVE!
One good thing about Bakers is they typically have a buy one get one 30% off, you might catch a sale with those. And then you can grab these booties by Wild Pair while you’re there.
Say Hi to Plaid Mandi. she’s slightly higher than the Parisien with a 1 inch platform and a heel height of 4 3/4. Instead of leather they are suede and they are open toe. They also have a peek of side ankle going on. These will cost you also $100 full price.
These shoes are NOT for the fashion faint of heart. I’m torn on liking the purple plaid or the black/white more. Initially the black & white screamed Nay but after a closer look I can see both of them being work absolutely fabulously. OH my lord they are cute!
Thoughts?

So last time I did Fashion Friday it was alll about high -end shoes that I can’t afford, but this time (for the most part) we are bringing it down with some peeks at cheaper shoes for fall. I also have a few non-shoe surprises, so let’s get down!
First up …
Frederick’s of Hollywood.
I saw these boots in the fall preview catalog mailed to me. They are distressed leather with a hidden platform. In case you don’t know, I LOVE a hidden platform. These 4 1/2 inch boots also come in black for those that aren’t ready for white. The best feature to me (while I’m up in arms about it asthecially) is the elastic ban at the top. I have huge calves so something of that nature is GREATLY appreciated, even if it cheapens the look. Total cost: $119 – definitely cheap for a boot. I wonder how comfy they are, but they are cute to wear with a wrap dress on a nice fall day.

Killer Shoe Alert
One day, I will have the luxury of having the red sole, but for now we can all lust over this HOT metallic Galaxy pump from the Fall 2009 Christian Louboutin collection. I don’t even have words to describe it besides (insert Dylan voice) HOT Fire! The combination of gold, black & silver works so well even though you traditionally think it wouldn’t. It’s shoe-fection!
I love, love, love peep toe. These are hot enough to be dressed up/down/sideways and across. I need to head to Atlantic city so I can’t try to win some money so I can mail order these.
*wipes drool from mouth*

HOT SHOE ALERT!
Christian Dior is killing the Fall 2009 styles with these shoes. I love how the heel reminds me of the tusk shape. These were my favorite from the collection. I think I love the grey so much because I have so many black shoes. I love the bootie concept and the cutouts. While it may seem like a lot, I can imagine me rocking these: Black shirt, blue jeans, these shoes. H.O.T. After all, the key to rockin a shoe like this is to keep it simple so the shoe steals the spot light.While these won’t make my wardrobe this fall, I will be searching for a close resemblence (aka department store knock-off).
More can be found here: NEW Shoe Blog!
I think I have new favorite site to check out. Shoes make my heart skip a beat I tell you!

Maybe this is old news to some, but in case you didn’t know like myself, Jimmy Choo and H&M ( Hennes & Mauritz )have partnered to bring his flavor to over 200 H&M stores beginning in November. JC isn’t the first super star designer to bring their duds to a retailer more of us can afford; Vera Wang partnered with Kohl’s a few years ago and Isaac Mizrahi sells at Target. JC is going to be bringing us shoes ranging from $58-138 dollars, which is pretty dope since his shoes retail usually for over $400. This is definitely a huge market for these type of designers. And personally I think it challenges their design skills, because now they have to design every day clothes for the every day woman. Not rich bitches and skinny gals!
I think this is fucking totally awesome. Have you seen the shoes at h&m? They are pure generic trash. Seriously, their shoes are worse than Payless!
If Jimmy can bring me a cheaper version of these caged pumps in red (HELL YEA!!) I’ll be loyal forever!

Ladies!! Kim Kardashian is on her grind. She has a new site, www.shoedazzle.com that is like Netflix for shoes (except these you don’t have to return! Now, I’m not Kim K fan because I think she’s famous for no reason, but if this site really works how its described, sign me up! I will NOT knock someone for a great idea.
How does it work you ask? Well apparently they survey you to determine what kind of shoes your into. Then they offer you a selection of 5 different shoes to pick from. Of those 5 the one you select will be sent to you. You will get one shoe per month for $39. According to the site, if your not interested in any shoes that month you can skip it and not be assessed the fee. How cool is that??
OH, and shipping is free in the US, yet another added bonus! Exchanges are also free, but you do have to pay 5.95 for returns-that’s not too bad since shipping is free to you!
I can’t wait to try this out. I think its a cool idea, so check it out if you’re a shoe whore like me! I mean look @ some of these shoes they say they’ve sent members:Can you say H-E-L-L-O to shoe #1 for me??
OH & Kim K also has new workout videos out too.. Now I wouldn’t buy those, but if someone sent me a preview I’d test them out & tell you if I can really fit into my jeans by friday! <3

Oh HELL YES!!! This shoe is my shoe-fantasy. It’s everything I could ever want all wrapped up into one overly expensive shoe. Alejandro Ingelmo’s Mitra sandal is fantaboulsly awesomely amazing!
This shoe has it all:
-5 inch heel
-Peep toe pump
-Leather
-Mary Jane style
-Hidden platform
Please tell me what is NOT to like about this shoe? OMG. They have freaking ROSE GOLD detailing! I have a shoe similar to these, Steve Madden Reede, and now I feel jipped There is a reason shoes like this are so damn expensive ($795), so I don’t drain my savings account. Fan-FREAKING-tastic! I want this shoe in my life so much. But unfortunately I won’t have it unless it goes on a 90% off sale.. Sadness has engulfed me . . . .

Once again I have fell in love, with a shoe.
(image from www.intheircloset.com)
I walked into Nordstrom and was instantly called to this shoe. It was like I was drawn into a magnetic energy field and I couldn’t see anything else but the shoe. I held it, caressed it, and PUT IT DOWN! I am not allowed to buy any shoes besides flip-flops right now. I am going to stick to my shoe diet! But I’m telling you, it was like a bee to honey. These are Chinese Laundry’s Bounty Leather Sandal
And seriously, what’s not to like about this shoe? It’s leather, the heel is 4 1/14 inches, it zips to make for easy wearing, it has woven details AND it has platform. These shoes were made for me. I have a similar pair in a wedge from Bakers (hey! don’t judge me, its a recession!) but its just not the same.
These shoes come in 3 colors: black, brown, or camel. I prefer the camel to the other 2, but if someone bought me any pair I wouldn’t complain. While I originally saw them at Nordstrom, they unfortunately weren’t on their website to purchase there. However, you can find them at Zappos.com for $128.95. That’s decent price if you ask me. Or you can go directly to the Chinese Laundry site where they are $119, so you save $10. I don’t know what the cost of shipping is, but if your Zappos VIP you get FREE overnight shipping. (and who doesn’t love free?).
***edit***
Intheircloset had the wrong image linked to that shoe.. It has been updated! sorry for any confusion! The detail was so minor that I didn’t look close enough to realize it.. Now that I know that shoe is different, I’m intrigued by that one.. I must find out more about it!
