There are some days that make you just want to stay inside, wrapped up in your favorite sweater and cozy pair of socks, right?
But let’s face it – we don’t always have that luxury.

In the past year, we have seen just about every interpretation imaginable of the bootie. There’s the peep-toe bootie, the buckle bootie, the cut out bootie, and this “sandal” bootie, which is basically a combination of all of the above.

To be truthful, I’m not super psyched about the shape of the heel, but I like the rest of the bootie, so I’ll take it as a matter of course. What I do like is the slightly above the ankle length and the totally badass straps. The loop pulls make them perfect, because not only do they look rad, but …read more

80%20 is a newish shoe company that began with the realization that women only wear 20% of the shoes in their closet. Gauging by my own closet, I’d say they’re not so far off target. Well, they think that women should get to wear the other 80%, and they make shoes that they think you might want to wear 80% of the time, which means they’re affordable, comfortable, and high quality. Plus, check the style on these Zoey Geisha Wedges:
I love how the combine gladiator style on a little wedge bootie without making it look like a fetish boot. The …read more

There’s a relaxed new vibe in town for fall boots…

You can find tall slouchy boots, slouchy boots with heel heels or flats and there are some cute slouchy booties out there as well.

I think I’ve found the perfect ankle boot to start my ankle boot collection. The Izzie Zipper Edge Booties from Juicy Couture have a great ruffle on the side that would be terrific with some leggings or some skinny jeans. The zipper detail in the middle may be just what you are looking for in some original ankle boots.
Of course you can all get some brown booties, but booties with ruffles and zippers from Juicy Couture? Say it isn’t so!
The four inch heel will give a short girl some extra height and any girl, short or tall, that extra kick …read more

Boots aren’t always known for being the most feminine of footwear.
Jeweled sandals, strappy pumps and sexy peep-toes seem to get all the fun…
But designers are out to prove that wrong, with details like flowers and ruffles showing up in Fall 2009 boots.  I’ve pulled together a few of my favorite picks, but there are lots more out there!  With everything from little hearts showing up on shoe laces to intricately pleated cuffs, there are lots of options for feminine fashionistas.

The green suede “French Maid” bootie (you could also argue that it’s a mule as well…) by Nanette Lepore features a …read more

What happens when you crossbreed a rubber-soled canvas sneaker with a suede bootie? A canvas buckle bootie with rubber soles so fresh you won’t want to tell anyone about it so that you can be the only person in your whole city to get a pair. Lucky for you, I live in a small town, and the likelihood that a bunch of other people will buy these is naught, so I don’t mind sharing. 
Firstly, I love grey right now. I think it has something to do with the fact that half of Rick Owen’s last line was grey, I’m not …read more

Booties always strike me as being more of spring/fall kind of shoe, but even in the heat of summer they’re still showing up all over the place.
So why let those glizty accented sandals have all the fun?  Booties can be ornamented, studded or sport bows, just like summery sandals.
Don’t believe me?  Check out some of these fun bootie picks!

Your booties can wear jewelry too, like these booties from Jean Paul Gaultier.
