Is there a such thing as too much of a good thing?
I realized today I love fall, simply because I love all the different boots! I love leather and I love suede. I enjoy nubuck and canvas. I want knee high boots, but settle for calve length. I just love boots!
These boots are cute, they are called Cashmere! They are a combination of leather and sweater material. The only draw back is that I like a sturdier heel than the stiletto. I prefer the heel to be a little more stacked, but everything else is great! The heel is a fantastic 4 1/2 inches and the toe is squared off. I also love the buckles over the sweater material.
These can be found at Bakers for 99.95. Affordable and cute makes them so much better!

Rain Boots (Wellingtons, in case you missed it last year). I was addicted to these things, so obsessed with having a pair. It was mission to find some. Apparently this year, I haven’t outgrown that love for them.
These are cute black &white Pixy boots from Coach. I lusted after a pair of Coach rain boots last year when I had some extra cash, since everyone knows Macy’s almost NEVER has Coach on sale. I tried them on, and of course, my calves were too big. Yes they fit, but there was no room for jeans or anything underneath. And of course, if its raining you want your jeans tucked into your boots. I eventually got a pair of stripped boots from Target (Don’t deny Target is the GREATEST store EVER!!). These would go great in my life. You can find these on www.Coach.com for $108 if you’d like, or you can find your local Coach/Macy’s to purchase.

I have heard nothing but wonderful things about Top Shop. It’s a bit of a sensation I’d say, and these boots are definitely sensational!I’ll probably only be able to get a pair if I get them specially made since I have HUGE calves. This boot is called the Britany2, and its an over the kneee boot that has a tight fit.
Details? Nubuck (suede like material for those who don’t know)4.5 inch heael (YYEEESSS!!) and approx 1inch platform (even better!!). Absolutely Fabulous for the season!

Even though we’ve never been formally acquainted, Christian Louboutin is my future boo. These are the Nitoinimoi (how the hell do you say that???) boots. When I see that word, I pronounce it HOT! These bandange boots are like a Herve Leger dress for your feet. They are fierce (if Tyra will let me borrow the word).
Leather: check
1 Inch platform: check
Just roll me over, because I love them. What do you think?

Never featured Brian Atwood before, and these boots are a perfect way to start.
These Brian Atwood Slouchy Hidden Platform bootshave so many dope features its not even funny.From the leather side ties, to the 5 1/2 inch heels to the 19 inch shaft. They also have a padded insole to take some of that pressure off your feet while strutting in them.
However, they cost $1,170. Not really up my ally, but FAB none the less.

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*
