If you’re a 7.5 US, you could snap up the last pair of these gorgeous Giuseppe Zanotti boots, which are now almost 50% off ($465 down from $889).
My hat’s off to the awesome style of this boot.
Yes, we’ve been posting about boots for months already, but hey. When you live in the Northeast, boots are the go-to footwear for a good chunk of the year, and today is no exception. I decided to forego my ubiquitous Uggs this morning (I forewent them?) in favor of actual structured leather boots by Camper, which are comfy but not nearly as warm, and now my feet are hating me for it.So what am I doing, as I gaze outside at the mixture of hail, sleet, freezing rain, and snow that’s coming down out of the sky? I’m looking up furry cozy warm-looking boots that retain enough femininity to put me in mind of Julie Christie’s Lara in the sleigh in Dr. Zhivago.I’m talking about luxurious things like this Giuseppe Zanotti buckled boot ($1,400)
and the Taryn Rose Douce rabbit fur boot ($842 on sale from $1,300)
and especially this gorgeous goat fur Sergio Rossi Chasa boot ($1,294).
These take the cake for me (although they’re also probably the least warm). But look at the toggles.
LOVE!
As I’m sure many of you did last night, I sat down giddily to watch the premiere of Project Runway season 4. I won’t get into a big long discussion here, because it’s not really shoe-related (although I must say I definitely agreed with the “out” outfit, but heartily disagreed with the winner, which was boring and looked like what we’ve seen in stores for a few years now), but I will say that I was super glad to see that the accessories this season are coming from Bluefly. You know what this means? Better shoes!
And the designers put those better shoes to good use last night.
Check out Kevin’s model, Katie, in a dress I loved and with shoes that are an EXCELLENT match in terms of style, color, everything.
I don’t see this exact shoe on Bluefly, but there’s a glam Giuseppe Zanotti evening shoe that’s pretty damn close.
Kit used what looks to be these Versace asymmetrical patent Maryjanes to perfectly set off her outfit.
Chris got good mileage out of this Stuart Weitzman glittery sandal.
Victorya added some flare to her dress with these Christian Dior “Marie Antoinette” heels.
I can’t wait to see more of the lovely Bluefly shoes on the models. I’m always interested in the accessories the designers choose to set off their creations, and I think we’re in for a much wider selection of glam accessories this season. So let’s see what they come up with.
Will the belted flat ever go out of style? I’m currently completely in love with these Giuseppe Zanotti flats, available in a variety of color combos:
Giuseppe Zanotti belted flats in hair calf animal print, $600 at Zappos.
Giuseppe Zanotti belted flat in clear, $500 at Zappos.
Giuseppe Zanotti Black Patent belted flat, $500 at Zappos.
As always, I have reservations about the vinyl and can’t imagine actually wearing it on my feet, but the color combos are surely attractive and quite timeless.
