Alexander Wang Resort 2011 Booties
Finally! Booties that are hot and don’t come with a four-figure price tag! How gorgeous are these Alexander Wang resort booties? They’re from the same collection, yet offer distinctly different looks. The first pair, in beige lizard print cowhide, is the Noemi combat bootie. With a 110mm heel height, it’s not for the wary or wobbly, but once strapped on, it’s Rihanna tough. I love the Velcro-like buckles across the front that show just enough toe cleavage to be sexy but at the same time whisper a masculine toughness. The second pair, meanwhile, leans more on the conservative side with its simple whipstitch lace-up design in baby calf. The Sofi has a 100mm heel height and an angled toe that’s reminiscent of an equestrian vibe. Love the heel design of both shoes–not quite a stiletto but definitely not a stacked heel. While the Noemi is clearly aimed at a younger woman, the Sofi spans all ages. It’ll look as chic with jeggings as it will with cashmere Michael Kors slacks.
$685 (Noemi) & $625 (Sofi), available at www.alexanderwang.com
