Bootie, Bootie, Booties Rockin’ Everywhere!

I must be in a Shoe kick this week, because I can’t get enough of Fall’s hottest trends for fab feet. One that’s been creeping up on us for awhile is finally sinking in for me– the Bootie. In a rainbow of colors and style that’ll make you drool, here are my top picks for the most bangin’ booties around:

The Chap by Steve Madden
(149.95) Maybe it’s the staggering heel, or the platform, or the old-fashioned design that somehow oozes with sex appeal. Either way, The Chap from Steve Madden is one of the most unique booties this season and comes in a variety of colors in both suede and patent leather. Might encourage spontaneous tap dancing and sexy slap stick.

Sandy Ankle Boots by Isaac Mizrahi for Target
($36.99) If you have an inner biker babe, she’ll come roaring out when you pull on these ankle boots from Isaac Mizrahi for Target. In black, winter white or oxblood, these are a sexy counterpart to any of your fall favorites. Like always, Mizrahi style can come with a painless pricetag at Target!

Cortazara by Aldo
($130) Aldo takes a more classic route with this attractive suede ankle boot in taupe or black. The shorter heel and no platform on Cortazara. give it a vintage look, and these beauties can easily be paired with jeans or tights to whip up outfits both office chic and Lower East Side sexy!

Putting the Pretty in Ugg-Ly

Take the UGG-LY out of your Uggs, and snuggle your feet into a pair of Cozy’s by Steve Madden. As a Syracuse, New York native, I know how important a warm pair of boots is as soon as the snow hits the streets. Now you don’t have to surrender style to stay toasty!

These new winter boots are everything that you love and need in a good boot. The (f)Ugg had at least some things right, and good ol’ Steve took some tips. Cozy will hit your upper calf and is lined with shearling to keep your toes happy even in below zero weather. Its outer shell is suede and comes in thirteen different colors. What I noticed first about these shoes, is the cute little bow at the ankle that breathes fresh life into this once stale style.

Check out more styles for whatever weather condition you’ll come across.

Who knows, you might even be tempted to wear these year round! They look great paired with stockings and skirts - and with colors like rose, ice and purple, it won’t be difficult to revive them for seasons to come.

Summer Essential: Flat Sandals

Maybe it’s the warmer weather or the fact that my bad ankle is preventing me from wearing the heels I love so much - but whatever the case, I’ve been inspired to post about flat sandals, a must-have trend of the summer season. The flat trend has been with us for a few seasons now, but flat sandals specifically are a great way to incorporate the look in to your summer wardrobe.

With all of the talk about wedges and platforms this season, it’s easy to forget about the simplicity and comfort of the flat. I love the idea of flats with a mini or short shorts (also big trends this season). For a dressier look try metallic shades, or flat sandals with jewels. For a classically casual look, try a strappy leather flat sandal. In every hue imaginable, there’s no escaping the fact that this look is hot!

Flat sandals are the perfect compliment for every outfit from dresses to jeans, so there’s no reason not to invest in this summer trend. I recommend checking out www.piperlime.com or www.zappos.com for a selection that is nearly impossible to resist.
