Future Acquisitions for Curated Collections – Christopher Kane Irregular Stitching Boot

Posted on by Shoe Daydreams

It’s not often that a shoe stops me flat.
Sure there are those that catch my eye. That stand out. That make me say “Gimme!”

But this Christopher Kane boot is different.

And that’s precisely what stopped me.

It’s edgy not elegant. It’s a bit wacky. A bit weird. A lot not my style.

But it is innovative. And unique. And special.

It’s a shoe that make me want to have it in the collection. Not just to wear but to curate. It feels like a design acquisition even more than an awesome shoe to wear. 

I’m not sure if I’ll get them But I feel like I kind of need them. They’re one of those interesting shoes you’ll seen in fashion design books where they give historical context and retrospectives.

They touchstone in the evolution of shoes… and I want them.

The Best of Boot Season

Posted on by Shoe Daydreams

Boots can be tricky but when good, are so so very good. I’ve been expanding my boot wardrobe over the years. And I’m well covered with flat boots – from the  Frye Melissas to the Stuart Weitzman 50/50 black boots, as well as the Betsey Johnson Fall 2011 Rally boots in black and tan.

And who could forget the Ann Demeulemester triple laced-boots.

But for heeled boots, I’ve been bereft, since my Nine West ones completely died.   I’ve been waiting to find boot perfection and this season, it’s happened twice.

First with the Sergio Rossi Secret OTK boots in burgundy.   Amazing in person and on.   Love them….

And then,  while about to give up hope on the right talk black heeled boots, I saw the ribbon laced-up boots from the Chloe Fall 2015 RTW runway.

 So yeah, black versions. Love them!

A great pair of boots is like getting super powers. They make you feel awesome!

Falling For Tall Boots

Posted on by Shoe Daydreams

Fall is the time for tall boots.  And I am smitten with the following two styles – both classics to last for ages.

The first is the re-release of the Stuart Weitzman 5050 over-the-knee boot.  It comes in a ton of colors but I think the basic black is by far the sexiest.  And not just because of Miss Kate here.

They are made to go with skinny jeans in the Fall and short skirts for Summer.

The Frye Melissa lace-up riding boot is another classic style. Just like the tall boots I wore for dressage, this boot style will be around forever.

These would also go great with tucked in jeans but they are such an American style staple, you could wear them with long skirts and floaty dresses.  

Stride through the seasons in these grounded styles.
