Made Ya Look!

TGIF!

In honor of BooTuesday’s return this week, today’s shoe is the Tory Burch Lysa Chain Ankle Boot. This bootie is the perfect combo of the top fall trends featured on Monday. The chains and zipper give it lots of edge and the sleek black leather and high heel make this boot appealing to all different styles. The Lysa retails for $450.00 and has a 4 inch heel. So, you tell me–is the Lysa a LOOK or a Make Ya Look?

BooTuesday…on Wednesday

16 12 2009

First of all, I’m so sorry for not getting this post out yesterday! Life just got the best of me. Anyway, one of the perfect alternatives for winter heels are short boots and booties. Not only are they super cute and fun, but they are just as stylish as pumps and make life in the winter a little bit easier. Hooray!

Short boots and booties haven’t always been a personal favorite of mine but this year I have turned the corner. There are just too many stylish booties to pass up! They come in tons of varieties and can be a great addition to any ensemble. One of the best features of these little guys is all the versatility they offer. In fact, if you’re still looking for a great holiday party shoe–these might be the answer.

One of the cutest ways to wear short boots or booties is with an outfit that will really show them off. Personally, I think this style is hard to master with skinny jeans, and you should wear your fav pair of biker boots with your jeans instead. But, you should definitely try donning a pair of booties with a great pair of tights or leggings. Since there are so many varieites of short boots, the options are almost endless and you are sure to find a pair of short boots for any occassion, from NYE to just bumming around trying to finish your holiday shopping. Another bonus, they come in all price ranges and all styles. There are flats, high heels, wedges, suede, leather and probably even sparkly ones! Make shopping for a great pair of booties fun and realize that these aren’t going to be your new everyday shoe, so it’s ok to step outside of your comfort zone a little bit.

Here are the DON’Ts. DON’T wear short boots with leggings that aren’t long enough or socks that are too tall–I know I shouldn’t even have to tell you, but you’d be surprised.  DON’T be afraid to flaunt your new find! These boots are totally in right now and you’ll be so happy that you got on this bandwagon early when next winter rolls around. Finally, DON’T wear weather inappropriate heels or flats when you have such a great variety of short boots and booties to choose from, there’s no excuse!
