Flat is Fabulous


If you haven't noticed, flats have been very in recently. Girls (and Women) everywhere are realizing that they can have it all, style and healthy feet. Add to the enthusiasm for flats, this season's ankle boot trend and you've just designed our pick of the week. Just one of many choices available...it's easily representative of both the style that is available sans heel and the built in comfort we have come to expect from all our shoes and boots, whether they are fashion boots or...garden boots. And, of course, we try and find boots that are relatively affordable for our woman of today. These boots barely even look in the direction of your money before walking home with you. So check them out while they are still available, the Mossimo® Gen Suede Flat Ankle Boots in Black available from Target for just 29.99 a pair.

And Magdelena, our most determined ethical shopper, is buying the first pair...they have a faux suede upper.


Of course, the nice thing about ankle boots/booties is that they kick ass when paired with a hot pair of pants. And sometimes it's hard finding a pair that fits right...Bice wanted to put in a plug for Aeropostales' skinny flare trousers. She just bought every color by mail (on sale for $20 each) and, though she is *cough* slightly over the 11-18 year-old target demographic, they all fit her perfectly. I can attest to that since I'm seen her in them...hot.

Shoes for Real Women




Okay, okay...I lied. These shoes are as craaaaazee as any. So, if you are looking for practical, this might not be your thing. On the other hand, maybe I'm still...pulling your shoe. What are we talking about? Nine West, baby. They have a very large selection of shoes for a wide range of sizes up to at least size 12. So, if you want the latest, hottest fashions, swing on over to the website. Among many other finds, we were excited about their lace-up bootie, Naso, which comes in a beautiful rich-brown suede (real? sorry, Magdelena) and has a killer heel to boot. For $109.00, we might just have to get in line for a pair, out for shipment at the end of the month. Remember, this season boot-tease is high(3 3/4") fashion.

AFFORDABLE BEAUTY!


Oh-my-gosh. We featured boots just like these recently on Bootsmania's Dailyboot section, I think it was. And of course, for looks like these, they cost some part of an arm and a leg. But no more. No more must we sell our very soles to adorn our feet in high fashion. Savior of the universe, Payless shoes, is carrying what are essentially the very same booties (Hassel Collar Bootine) for just 29.99 or (take deep breath)...get them on sale now for 24.99. Yikes! I'd say that's affordable beauty. Enjoy. I'll keep you posted as I look for more tres chic deals to send your way.

What It Takes to Get me Excited About Fall...

Three additional recommendations:

From Lands End, we have our first addition to the popular collection of Riding Boots being recommended this season. These stylish and practical boots go for $159.50. Now, stylish and practical may sound like two words too often bandied around when it comes to boots but riding boots really are a smart choice when it comes to buying an everyday pair. It's only our good fortune that these are also so 'in' right now and therefore there are many choices available to pick from. Below, we recommend another version of the riding boot for all those princesses out there for whom money is not an issue (at least not when it comes to buying shoes).











A very expensive but also very elegant choice From Anthropologie are the Well-Studied Boots, "Classic cowboys in a go-with-anything shade of brown sugar." Sizes range from 6 to 11 whole but we'll think twice before paying the price....$398.













Afterall, why empty your wallet when you don't have to? I've saved my personal favorite for last. They are available from Chadwicks for only $99 but look like serious money. The Contrast-Stitched Leather Boots come in both brown and black (serious classy, rich-leather colors, not those chintzy shades that reek of cheapness) and did I mention they sell for only $99?! These are like bringing fine tailoring to your feet. An outstanding addition to any wardrobe...and just what it takes to get me excited about the coming of Fall.
