Shake your bootie!

The fab fall footwear theme began on Saturday and it will continue throughout the week, darlings! Today: short is sexy! Booties are a must-have for fall, whether they’re studded or embroidered, peep-toe or cut-out, suede or satin, buckled, zip or lace-up, bright or jet, you need some asap. Wear them with your skinny jeans or your shortest skirt – they are versatile and flattering!

I got a pair of oxford booties when I was still on the fence on this trend. Now I must have another pair. I prefer the ones with a thicker heel, as I like to be able to walk in my shoes.;-)

Lisa said...

All of them!

Seriously, though, one of these days I'll have to bite the bullet and try this style out in spite of my cankles.

MakeupByRenRen said...

i never tried booties before...but the peep toes are calling my name!

Julia said...

Boooooots, that's all I can think about [aside from ankle pants] It's the only upside to fall/winter for me. Now to have the money to afford all the pairs I want :')

Diana Coronado said...

The grey ones looks like Lego Balenciaga.

I just tried on the Louboutin lace up boots last week at Barneys. The didn't look good on me, and I ended up just getting some pumps. But thouse louboutin leather and pony boots are absolutely to die for. I just want to walk in them, even if it's only in the shoe section pf the department store. :)
