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.

Feeling prim and proper?  Accent your booties with a net bow, but amp up the sex appeal with gold lame leather from Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Flamingos are so retro.  They are straight out of the 1950s and so is this dress. It reminds me of an Italian resort dress from an Audrey Hepburn movie with a splash of the new millennium.

This Jean Paul Gaultier Flamingo Convertible Tube Dress has a convertible top with a wide skirt and oh my gosh, it can pulled down and worn as a skirt (!). What a novel idea (lol). I love the intricate detail of the design, it is super luxurious and very resort and cruise like. It is $375 from eluxury.com.

For most of us, couture is an impossible luxury – it’s generally only available to the uber-rich. It’s sure fun to look at though! I’m drooling over the shoes from Jean Paul Gaultier’s Paris Spring 2008 haute couture collection.
Now those would be shoes worth taking out a bank loan for!
