Giuseppe Zanotti Suede Eco Fur-Piping Low Boots: All the Trimmings

The fuzzy winter boot: a thing of beauty or a thing of blech, and very rarely in between. As much as Uggs have been trying inch their way into the realm of fashionable shoes, I’m sorry, the failure is epic. Maybe because they are coming at the cozy shoe from the wrong angle.

Co-Op Barneys New York Bob Lace Rainboot: It’s Raining Boots!

Givenchy Front Zip Riding Boot: Zippity Split

How many knee-high boots do you own with nary a zipper in sight? Exactly! Since zipper access on a tall boot is almost always a necessity (even most lace-up variations are just for shoe, with zippers obscured on the inside panels), why hide it? Givenchy has elevated the zipper to the spotlight – instead of … Continue reading “Givenchy Front Zip Riding Boot: Zippity Split”

Burberry Quilted Leather Platform Ankle Boot: Buckle Yourself Cozy

When I first saw these I couldn’t imagine myself wearing them. They have the height of a pump/ bootie, yet have the quilted look of a slipper and three large buckles like a… ski boot? However, upon closer inspection I have come to find the Burberry Quilted Leather Platform Ankle Boot cute as a…. snow … Continue reading “Burberry Quilted Leather Platform Ankle Boot: Buckle Yourself Cozy”
