Iwaya for Dress 33 S/S 2009 Bootie (left), Gucci Fall 2008 Bootie (right).
Coming back from Paris all I can think is BOOTIES! I saw so many chic women decked-out in the cutest booties paired with skinnies or pencil skirts. There are two in particular that I’m currently obsessing over. First the Babouska Studded Bootie ($995), from Gucci’s Fall 2008 collection which I spotted on the feet of numerous women during Fashion Week in Paris — they’re so sexy-chic, I love the hint of rock in them. Secondly, I’m loving these heavy, gold with black accented booties that were shown in the Iwaya for Dress 33 Spring/Summer 2009 runway show that I went to. Unfortunately these won’t be available for months to come, but they definitely stood-out as the strongest piece in the collection. I’m so curious to see what these would look like tried on — they seem like they would be very heavy and something about them is somewhat goth, but how fun are they??
What do you guys think? Bootie or Not?
I love the Babouska studded Gucci bootie! The babouska studded boot is also available in a taller version. Celebrities are wearing both the short & tall babouska studded boots.
