The Low Down

This weird thing has happened to me. For a few months after Ben and I separated my feet were depressed. I had no interest in heels and wore converse every day. It was shocking.
Don't worry, I'm back in heels! But I also found this kind of happy medium in chunky heels and wedges. Where I used to be all about the highest heels possible, (which I still LOVE) now I'm flirting with more comfortable shoes for running around in.

I noticed that two of my stylish girlfriends had these perfect little wedge booties and I loved how they looked on them, so naturally I snatched some up for myself. They're that perfect height where you can't call them low but they're definitely not high. They're super comfortable and I can easily run around in them all day. Another thing these wedge booties are is inexpensive. On sale for $105 each, buying both pairs was cheaper than a pair of designer flats! Unfortunately they're sold out on Nordstrom.com but you may still be able to get them in stores.

I love high heeled high end designer shoes but I'm really excited to find great shoes at a great price. I'll be on the lookout for all of us! ;)

In fact, here are some affordable, comfortable looking booties I found on heels.com most with other colors available too...

XOX, 

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.

Fugs.

Please don't. That's all I can say about this boot. PLEASE do not.

It's not cute. It's not funky fresh. It's fugly.

Well... maybe for a clown hooker costume? Halloween is sorta close.

No. Never mind. Just don't.
