Fashion Alert! Booties are the new BootsFamed shoe designer Christian Louboutin has done it again creating a masterpiece; a beautiful patent leather ankle boot with zipper detail with his signature red sole. I adore the loafer look to this bootie. The bootie also comes in a camel color but I prefer the black as they are sleek and sexy and especially more practical. If you have the funds to purchase these booties they are available at Neiman Marcus, SAKS, and other upscale department stores that sell high end designer shoes. By the way, if you can you should because these are defiantly a must.
Ribot High Heel Platform Bootie
The lace-up oxford style bootie is also gorgeous. Gucci is making a pair that I absolutely adore. This design is a throwback to the fop look that men would employ in the 1700's. I like that the platform is seperated from the rest of the shoe. It adds a modern twist that the Louboutin shoe is lacking. The gold detailing on the lace up adds a touch of glitz that is expected from Gucci. Although I love these shoes, I can't help but ask myself are they too costumey?
FYI: All booties can be worn with both pants (skinny or wide) and skirts or dresses. Celeb fans of the ankle bootie are Mischa Barton, Gywneth Paltrow, Sienna MillerLindsay Lohan, Kate Moss, and Kate Bosworth.
Bottom Line: Both of these booties are amazing! However, if you still want to look like your strutting down the runway but can't afford to spend $770 I suggest purchasing a knockoff pair that are just as cute and a necessity to complete your fall and winter look. On Sunday, I bought a pair of leather booties by Michael Kors cheaper line KORS (unfortunately I couldn't find a pic on the net). These boots are very similar to the ones I purchased. 
They are reasonably priced and still fab. My philosophy is if you incorporate both expensive and inexpensive pieces into your wardrobe no one will be able to tell what's what.

love this blog! however, I think that the separated platform is actually more outdated and the non-separation is more modern. I say this because in previous years the platform was always separated, only in the past 3 or 4 years has the non-separated platform appeared.
Thanks for commenting on my blog! I'm so pleased let you like it. Sealed I think you make an interesting point. I agree with you but the way Gucci is doing the seperated platform combined with the way the heel looks gives a completly different look then what has been done in the past. Also, 3 or 4 years is long enough for something to be back in again with new twist. I hope you'll keep reading my blog, and feel free to write suggestions about topics that you would like me to cover.
Hey...like what you are doing here on your blog. It's interesting to see how you view fashion!
