yellowpufferbootsYou've heard of puffer jackets, but how about puffer boots? These yellow charmers make me happy just looking at them. Thanks to Rocket Dog, the Popcorn Boot offers another option to warmth in the cold winter months — and in an array of colors. They remind me of my moon boot-ish slippers that I wear all the time (... so much, that they have to be replaced this time each year). Warm, cozy feet are happy feet. And this sunny yellow color kicks it up a notch!

If you plan to buy these for the rain and snow, be aware that the Popcorn Boot may not be as weather resistant as it claims. You may want to stick with your favorite Hunter rain boots and fleece welly socks, in that case. Nonetheless, these bright yellow puffers are so cute!

Of course I will. I mean, seriously ... look at these. While Tory Burch doesn't typically grab my attention when it comes to shoes (with the exception of my I-wear-these-all-the-time booties), I could not miss the smoke signals here. Hello, I have fallen in love again ... for the second time this week. Yes, I just came home with the most fabulous pair of Billy Reid riding boots, and now I find myself lusting over these satin strappy numbers with a zip back heel and only a 3" incline. (I hear my sisters laughing now.) It's my weakness. I admit it ... so somehow that makes it okay (right?). I know, I know. I am the personal stylist who's suppose to have will power.

So, I find myself asking the same questions to myself that I ask my clients, "Do you love (not like) these?" [yes] "Will they fit into your wardrobe/lifestyle nicely?" [yes] "Can you find multiple outfits to pair them with?" [yes]. A resounding yes! Now that I've justified the purchase, watch them not be a good fit for my foot!

prada-lug-boot-with-garterWere you thinking, ‘you’ve got to be kidding me‘, when you first saw these lug sole leather boots from Prada? I certainly did a double take. Somehow, Prada has managed to make an otherwise masculine boot feminine. What in the world … a garter belt for my boots? Surely you wouldn’t want to find yourself in a predicament with your boots falling down — how embarrassing. While that won’t happen, the garter does make them sexy. And because of that, they are in such demand! In fact, Saks Fifth Avenue put a stipulation on this boot stating that you cannot purchase more than 3 pairs within 30 days. At $1350, I’m sure you were planning on buying 5 … however, you’ll have to wait 30 days to buy the other 2 pairs.

From big bows and tie scarf-adorning pumps to tall wading boots, Prada is not shy about making a statement. And the statement is, bulky can be sexy. You didn’t think it could, did you? Look again. They will grow on you.

Take a peek at what Spring 2010 has in store. I am loving the tie scarf pumps. The shoe design itself is very retro, while the scarf tie makes it interesting, modern and yes, sexy. These are definitely ‘look at me’ shoes. Your clothing options should entail simple, clean lines.

You live in your shoes, after all. So, Prada has stepped up to make life more entertaining … for your feet.

Recently, I featured a pair of Christian Louboutin fold-over booties. They are spectacular, of course. However, as all CLs do, these beauties come with a hefty price tag. You love the playfulness of the leopard print. You love the style - it works well with your wardrobe and lifestyle. However, you cannot fit the real deal into your budget. So, go pseudo. Nine West makes a nice alternative. Picture these with a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a leather jacket. Or, a skirt and a lightweight turtleneck. See, you can still get your shoe groove on.
