These Jimmy Choo x Hunter wellies, available in June for $395 add a little class to puddle-jumping.

The boots from the two British mega-labels feature an embossed croc print, leopard print lining, and gold-metal hardware.

Mason Martin Magiela

NIKE/Nancy Wu

Found these Mason Martin Margiela shoes on Highsnobette, and immediatly they reminded me of something we recently posted. These cutout shoes look quite similar to the NIKE /Nancy Wu gladiator sneakers. And, the MMM shoes are on preorder for $575, betcha the NIKEs are a fraction of that.

At $300+ a pop, I can’t imagine owning multiple pairs of Frye, or any other genuine leather, boots. I find myself making up for the fact that I wear the same boots, day in and day out, by wearing textured leggings or high socks pulled up over the tops of my boots. I get a bit bored with my same old boots, but thanks to The 2 Bandits, I can dress up my boots and make them like new for every outfit! The bandits come in a variety of patterned and solid fabric bands that have chic, brass adornments. Instead of buying different boots for the season, you can instantly change the entire look and feel of the boots. The 2 Bandits retail from $48-$78, a bit expensive….but hey, it’s better than coughing up a weeks worth of part time coffee shop pay for new boots! 

Check out The 2 Bandits here! 

Love, love these Y-3 shoes. Very futuristic silhouette, yet seems comfortable and wearable. With a patent leather exterior, rounded front, and elastic bands from toes to ankle for comfort. On sale for $343 from $490.

Thanks Notcouture for finding these

If you’re looking for a twisted ankle, bruised knees, or knocked out teeth this holiday season, make your way to the emergency room rocking on any of these heels:

Every fashionista knows that Black Friday isn’t just about shopping gifts for family and friends, it’s about finding amazing deals on the stuff you know you really want. And what better way to do that than to grab an extra 30% off on designers already marked down at SSENSE.com, our new not so secret addition.

We’ve been combing their sales floor all week to pick out some of the best items from this weekends sale.

Check out our Top Ten Sale Picks…

1. Galliano Dark Pink Jeans

The color screams “pay the f*ck attention to me” and that’s probably why we love the so much. These Galliano’s are so painfully fetch and at $107 plus 30% off these aren’t gonna be on the sale floor for long. Check them out.

2. Nike Blazer Metallic Pewter Midtops

There’s something so Beyonce in Gareth Pugh about these that I can’t help but love them. I rarely endorse Nike’s but I want at least three pairs of these under my Chanukah bush this season. Grab them for $108 plus an extra 30% off before they’re gone.

3. Mike & Chris Floyd Neck Coat

Yes, yes I know Mike & Chris are currently debunked, but that’s no reason to not swoop up a couple of their pieces before they’re all gone!!! This jacket is completely covetable and the attached scarf makes it worth every penny and the few jealous stares from your less sartorially inclined friendos. You can grab it at SSENSE.com for $220 plus 30% off.

4. 0044 Cross Necklace

Crosses are always hot but this menagerie of various Jesus pieces is the equivalent of molten lava around your neck. You know you want it and for $161 plus 30% off you can have it at the SSENSE.com Black Friday sale. Check it out now.

5. Diesel Black Gold Flosse Dark Blue Dress

I don’t give Diesel as much air time as I could but upon seeing this dress I knew their new Black Gold collection would be right up my alley. It kind of reminds me of something Maria Cornejo or color block king Johnathan Saunders would dish out, but at $320 plus 30% off it’s about half the price of one of their pricier pieces. Yay, economy conscience fashions!!! Pick it up here.

6. CNC Patent Black Leather Boots

Some argue that patent leather is getting a bit overexposed, but I can’t get enough. These CNC shoes are powerful little statement makers that will get noticed for all the right reasons. You can get them for $466 plus a ery generous 30% off at SSENSE.com.

7. Paul & Joe Bianco Black Melange Trousers

They’re wideleg, pleated, and high waisted. The kind of pants that should only be attempted by the bravest of the brave. If you think you can pull these off, buy them. They will make you looking so flippin good and will ensure that your status as style queen remains in tact. They’re available for $428 plus 30% off at the SSENSE.com sale.

8. Diesel Wild Girls Newclip Black Boots

Lighting Bolts + Boots = Lighting BOOTS!!! I’m easily swayed by quirky fashion and these Diesel boots ring every bell in my body. You can grab them for $238 plus 30% off.

9. Juicy Couture High Seas Plaid Wool Skirt

This skirt is painfully chic. The slight bursts of red in the pattern and it’s undeniable warmth make this a serious must-have. Plus, the plaid is just to die for, I need it, I want it, I just bought it for $209 plus 30% off.

10. Karl Lagerfeld Denise K T-Shirt

What do you want? I’m a sucker for Karl. It’s $250 plus 30% off at the SSENSE.com Black Friday sale.

Thanks Style File!

I was browsing through S***R London’s website and I stumbled upon these awesome heels! They aren’t available on the website yet, but I am loving the closed cobalt Laura 3’s with leather and hardwear detailing. I’m not much of a fan of bright, vibrant colors, but if the stappy open top shoes come in a black or a gray, I’m there! In the meantime, check out S***R London Shoes!

These Mafia Black and White high heeled oxfords are costumes shoes, but I think they’d look pretty fierce with the right outfit on a Friday night. Available at Target for only $46.

Thanks FabSugar for pointing these out.

Manish Arora
Eagle Leggings

Great by themselves with a top or as an add on under a cute dress, when too much black is just too much and you need some added pattern (which I love).

Black Pony Hair Patent Wedge

I love anything black pony, and I love wedges, so this is the perfect combo. Also cute with colored tights, the hue will peak through the cutout and look ultra cute.

Anzevino & Florence
Courtney Dress

Can’t say enough about this dress. I actually don’t like plaid, but this is adorable. A great way to feminize the oversized plaid button up shirt, and looks quite comfy and warm for the winter.

First there was the $11 wallet, now the $22 shoes…what’s next? $44 bag! Do you all see the pattern?

Found on Ebay, these shoes were originally $645, now are a mere $102. But are they wearable? Some might think that these are quite ironic, but I must agree with AlwaysInStyle, “people would stoop down to pick up what they thought was a windfall.”

What do you guys think?

Thanks NY Mag for pointing this out

Fiorentini + Baker Double Buckle Boot. Available at Barney's Coop ($445)

This Fall one of the hottest trends is a solid high leather boot. They are easy to wear with just about anything, and they are a great way to kill that stupid rain boot trend that Marc Jacobs was so content on sparking. Now I will say that with this much leather involved, unless you strike vintage store gold, it’s going to be hard to find a pair for less than $200. However $200 is not bad when you think about it. You are making an investment here. If you buy a pair of fairly standard boots they should last you years, and they tend to be rather timeless. Here are a few of my favorites, from the cheaper to the more expensive. 

Heutchy Black Leather and Canvas Boot. Available at Oak ($488)

H By Hudson Kaiser Boot. Available at Oak ($332)

Barney's Leather Round Toe Boot. Available at Barney's ($250)

Frye Brando Lace-Up Boot. Available at Urban Outfitter Online ($260)

Bed Stu Fort Boot. Available at Urban Outfitters Online ($220)

Like I said, don’t get discouraged from looking for cheaper. Thrift stores and vintage shops are great places to find good boots, but for those of you who have a money tree in your backyard or just don’t have the time to look all over the city for a pair, check out what the Internet has to offer.

Thanks to Barney’s, Oak and Urban Outfitters for the images.

Two of my favorites together at last. Cheap shoes + Superheroes. You can’t deny that these look like the types of towering slip ons that a real wonder woman would wear.  And best of all these Kathryn Amberleigh’s are only going to set you back $29 bucks.

Ah, I finally got my Alice + Olivia for Payless Rivington Ankle Boots.

Black patent. Zipper. 4.5″ wedge hell. 1″ platform. Peep-toe. They’re so absurd that I’m in love them. It’s getting pretty serious. We’re already checking out china patterns and hosiery.

Watch out, Mary-Kate.

London-based graffiti artist Insa and shoe designer Ruth Shaw have teamed up for Insa Heels, whose website officially launches today.

“The Cigarette,” is the first style so far, available in three designs (”The Levishan” colorway is above). The stilleto is leather with a high gloss finish. Insa appeals to a wide demographic by combining the sex appeal of a spike heel with modern streetwear graphics.

The shoes sell for about $400.
