Daanger! Fav new bootie

Steve Madden 'Daanger' bootie - $84.90 on amazon.com

Take your favorite slouchy boot from last Fall and make it into a lovely bootie for Spring and voila -- You have the Steven Madden Daanger bootie. This shoe is so adorable with it's ruching detail in the front and sexy cutouts. I can see myself wearing these for work with skirts and skinny jeans and I can wear these for evening and weekends with leggings and skirts. I went through quite an ordeal finding these shoes. I originally bought them on sale for $58 on nordstrom.com and I ordered the size 7's in grey because they were out of size 6.5. When I got them I absolutely fell in love with them but they were clearly too big. I took them back to Nordstrom's and they're completely out of the 6.5. I then found the purple ones on sale on Endless.com for $66. Well, when I got them the next day it turns out that the purple leather is not nearly as cute as the grey. So... I just decided to get the grey in 6.5 on Amazon.com for $84.90. Sure, I had to pay little more but I think I will be able to wear these all the time.

'Tis the Season for Boots

Ever since Fall I've been obsessed with boots. Leather, suede, slouchy, buckles, whatever. I love the idea of boots with leggings and skinny jeans. Given that there's a recession going on, I had to suppress my urge to buy a pair of each kind. I convinced myself that I can buy myself a pair of boots that are versatile enough to be "commuter boots". I take the bus to work and I don't like having to walk very far in my heels. So it's be nice to have a pair of cute walking boots that I can also wear for fashion.

Ugg Elijo Boots - $180. I got these on sale for $99 from Nordstrom's! They're warm and comfy but I decided not to keep them because I wasn't sure they were me. Or as my husband says: "Uggs are what California girls wear when the temperature drops below 70 degrees".

The North Face 'Nuptse II' Boot - $79.95. These boots seemed very functional. But I chose not to keep them because they really look like snow/winter boots. I can't imagine wearing them for anything else except commuting.

Miz Mooz Amber Boot - $129. I wished for these for my birthday and my hubby got a pair for me. They look cute one but I read reviews that these were uncomfortable. I really wanted flat boots so I decided to return them.


Steve Madden Tianna Slouch Boot - $89.95 - I didn't pull the trigger on these shoes. They look cute and I love the idea of grey boots. But they're suede! That means I can't really wear them if there's a chance of rain... It's so hard to resist because they're very cute!
