3.1 Phillip Lim “Lara” Ankle Boot: Knocking Booties
Calf-hair seems to be the new leather (Alaïa, Krakoff, Zanotti, Atwood, everybody’s doing it!) and it’s all about the bootie. Which means, I better get myself a pair of calf-hair booties for fal! But not just any bootie. No, I want ones that will turn my style up a notch. Or four. The super-low “Lara” … Continue reading “3.1 Phillip Lim “Lara” Ankle Boot: Knocking Booties”
Giuseppe Zanotti Suede and Pony-Skin Open-Toe Boots: Giuseppe Hits the High Spots
A leopard mega-wedge topped with suede – this sounds similar to another pair of Giuseppe Zanotti heels I recently found myself lusting over. Now meet the flipside of the same wild coin.

How many ways are there to say no? Definitely not enough for these freakish Mary Jane boots! No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. This is not a photo of a red shoe on a very peculiar leg.

Biker Boots: You Can Keep the Girl Off the Bike, But Can You Keep the Bike Off the Girl?
I’ve never been much of a biker babe – although the thought of cruising around Los Angeles on a super-slick Ducati does sound pretty cool, if only a total fantasy – and I don’t think most Jimmy Choo-wearers have, either! Now it looks like the motorcycle boot is going upscale (sure, Frye and Fiorentini + … Continue reading “Biker Boots: You Can Keep the Girl Off the Bike, But Can You Keep the Bike Off the Girl?”
