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.



ShopIndie: The 2 Bandits Boot Bands

ShopIndie: The 2 Bandits Boot Bands  emerging fashionShopIndie: The 2 Bandits Boot Bands  emerging fashionAt $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!

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.

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).

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.

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



A Must For Fall: Leather Boots

A Must For Fall: Leather Boots all indie

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.

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.
