I know this is the dead of summer and way too early to be thinking of booties, but indulge me for a moment here, especially as it’s so hot in this part of the world (the American Northeast) that I can’t stand to be outside for more than 15 min at a time. I’m longing for a little chill in my day, is what I’m saying. And for such a day, I imagine I’d be really stylish in these:

A new fall arrival, these are just as elegant as can be, in a deep forest-olive green (which is quite popular this season, so far as I’ve seen), and bonus points, they have a zipper at the back so you can slip in and out of them without doing and undoing all those pesky laces. The only kink is that the price is a little steep: the DvF “Pickford” granny booties are currently $795 at Shopbop.
