Ok, So I'm a Hypocrite...

So what. I never thought I'd EVER be into a stretch boot... I mean, EVER. But whadda know? I found one- the only one- I love. This is the Jil Sander boot that I was talking about. I got them for 80% off at Jeffery and they are absolutely the sluttiest/sexiest things I own. Hahaha!

I have to tell you my embarrassing story though!

I knew I shouldn't have, but I wore them out to dinner one night in NY. I figured I'd be ok since we were taking cabs.

For some reason, I think we were trying to catch a cab, I was out in the street and I slipped on a patch of ice and totally ate shit... hard! My first thought of course was "Oh my god! My new boots!!" cause I fell on my knee and palms. Miraculously, my boots were mostly ok- no rip in the knee, but check out my knee. Ouch.

My priorities are so out of whack. Ha ha ha.

The lacquer on the inside of one the platforms got scratched off pretty bad, but I think I can fix it, and if not- you can barely see it.

Anyhoo- what do you guys think? :)

**ADDITION**

I will never forget this fall! It was so funny and embarrassing!!

And isn't it funny how now it's all about stretch boots and over-the-knee boots. Who knew? ;) I can't believe I got these at 80% off. Ridiculous. That would never happen now!

My Happiest Grey

So I'm pissed 'cause I can't find my tripod anywhere!! So bare with me- these photobooth shots will have to do for now.

I just sold my soul for my very first pair of Christian Louboutin boots. They were WAY too expensive but I just had to have them... I LOVE them! Like, I might have to sleep in them so I don't have to take them off.

I've been wearing them all day even though it's too hot and my feel are burning from how high they are. Still, they're the best boots and I love them.

OTK!! OMG!

So it's no newsflash that over the knee boots are the SHIT this fall, but I just wanted to share a few of my favorites with you from every price! :)

This super chic (and surprisingly cheap) version from Chinese Laundry was an instant hit when worn on Gossip Girl last year! They sold out practically the day after the episode aired. At under $100, I'm not surprised. There are tons of look-alikes on sites like zappos and heels.com

Jane of Sea of Shoes has been wearing these CO-OP boots lately and I really dig them! They'll cost you about $750 which is a good chunk of change, but a great investment. Their style is on trend but also pretty timeless.

I really love my Chloe OTK's. They make me all warm and fuzzy. I can not for the life of me find them on line but THESE are very similar in shape, (same heel and toe shape) but are in suede and have a little more detail on the top back. These are about $1200

Now these Stella McCartney boots are for professionals only ladies and gents. No, I don't mean ladies of the night... These are seriously serious boots. They are way passed over the knee- these babies are thigh-mother-effing-high. Don't mess around. Especially at $1595...

The downside is of course, Stella's aversion to using animal carcass as fashion.

Meaning? Well, meaning that these are going to make you sweat like a whore in church. But, if stanky thighs are your thing... do it! I'll sit here being jealous.

YSL kills it every season. This is no exception. I DIE for this boot and wish I could get them, but at $1700 they're over my price range. Amazing though, right? What a sexy little demi-wedge shape and simple clean silhouette. I love the little flair on the back too. Yum yum yum.

Now you know my buddy Christian was going to come out with an over the top over the knee, right? Well these amazing boots are the most expensive on my list but are so beautiful... they're worth it. That is, if you can afford it.

Que drool.

Ah Louboutin. You sure know how to dress a lady's feet. Next time I have an extra $1995 to spare, I'll be seeing you.

Good News!

I know a lot of you missed the boat on these Sam Edelman boots. You know- the Balenciaga knockoffs. Well, I guess they made some more! You can find them HERE and HERE.

Unfortunately, they are overpriced IMO, (about $200 more than the original price I got them for) but if you really want them- here's your chance. Get them while they last! As you can see, they look pretty much exactly like the real deal...

***UPDATE***

Heels.com is going to get them too!! My advice would be to wait and see what their price will be. I've never heard of either of the other two sites so they may be jacking the price up. I have no idea. I do trust heels.com for sure though. ;)

Gettin My Boot on

Hello! I was unusually excited to wake up to an overcast sky today. Why? Well, because I knew I could finally wear my new Chloé boots! Yippee!

These are my first pair of thigh high boots and I adore them. I always thought these kind of boots looked slutty and very Pretty Woman, but these for some reason are more sexy than slutty. More sleek than skank. They also fold down nicely for an over the knee look.

The leather is super soft and buttery and there is a gold accent on the inside of the heel. LOVE them.

I got them at Intermix and I can't find them anywhere online. :(

Fendi: The Good, the Bad and the Fugly.

Oh Fendi... What is going on?

Let's start with these amazing platforms. The good.

These are siiiiiiick! I mean, don't try these at home kids... these have some serious heels (6.5 inches!!!) and even with a substantial platform, the pitch is super high. Yikes.

BUT... thats why I love them. The higher the heels the closer you are to God, right? Ha!

SWOON!

The bad? Well, let's just say my grandma might like these. The color combo is kinda yucky and I haaaaaaaate these kind of heels. blah. Even though they are pretty high also, the curved heel is just so out of date IMO.

The straight up fugly?? While granny was trying on those Fendi's up there, grandpa lost control of his rascal and had an accident- his toupee apparently ended up on these booties.

Seriously? An animal had to die for these? Gross gross gross.

When I look at them I just can't help but think of one of these guys-

Eww.

Hot Child in the City

Dang it's hot today! Off to LA to find the last of the great shoe bargains!

Who says you can't wear suede boots in the summer?? I say boots of the ankle variety are just fine. Paired with a pair of ripped up cut-offs? No problem.

I love this necklace! I found it at Urban and it reminds me of the stuff that was going down the runway at Givenchy.

Excuse me while I mop up the drool...

Beauty is Pain...

I LOVE these Balenciaga boots. LOVE. My husband on the other hand, hates them. He says they're a little too "urban" for my style. I think he's confusing them with the Manolo version Jennifer Lopez wore back in her Jenny from the block days? 

True, I may not love them as much if they weren't Balenciaga (hey- at least I'm being honest. Shallow, but honest.) but they are and I do. Anyway, I got them over a year ago and have worn them a total of 3 times. I hate to make them feel unappreciated.

They are however, super uncomfortable. They are probably a full size too small because they pinch my toes and are threatening to cut off my ankles via my achilles tendon. Ya.

I'm considering it my punishment for missing out on those Stella's. *frickin idiot!*

On a side note- I do apologize for the messy condition our house is in. If I were you I'd be annoyed. Those boxes need to be put in storage asap!

Now These Are Sick...

Talk about sexy. Wow. These Rick Owens boots do it for me.

I do admit though that that "wings" above the heels are a bit weird, but I love everything else. The shape, the materials, the fit... I think even the wings can be overlooked. I mean, they're so rock 'n roll, it's stupid. 

I think you'd definitely have to be a skinny bitch to pull these off (which I am not...) so I will save these for them bitches. I will however continue to lust after them and might even photoshop my head on a skinny model body and add these boots, paper doll style. Who knows?

PS- today is my last day in China! YAY!
