I don’t know how YOU deal with your shoe obsessions, but here’s what I do: come the new season I usually form an uncanny attachment to a pair of shoes/boots/sandals/whatever, over which I salivate obsessively and whose picture I admire at least three times a week (what, it burns calories, I’ve heard), just to saturate my eyes with what, at that moment in time to me, is sheer perfection.

The time has come for me to start lusting, therefore, after these Loeffler Randall Maltide tall boots, in cuoio ($695 at Neiman Marcus):

Loeffler Randall

Oh. My. God. Breathtaking, simple, beautiful, elegant lines, modest wedge heel, splendid color, gorgeous leather (excuse me while I wipe off the drool, it’s getting hard to type over here).

Ahem.

What’s your shoe obsession this season? Do share!
