Drunk Pump Purchase

The bow has to go. Love the heel though. Half off at Giraudon going
out of business sale in Chelsea.

ZIpper, Zippers, Everywhere!

OK, I swear I wasn't drunk when I bough these yesterday. I got drunk after. I still can't believe I bought these instead of the very versatile comfortable Repetto Kiss booties I blogged about earlier. In reality I kind of put down this new zippered bootie trend. Too rock n' roll right?

I wrote them off as too tall, or too gimmicky. Case in point, the zippers on these Giuseppe Zanotti boots are tacked on top of the leather boot, not integrated into them. Plus, they are $1975.00! Click the boot to link to Intermix where they are sold.

Now these are much more to my liking, with a hidden platform, and lower, not-so-spindly heels that you can actually walk around in. The zippers look cool, and are integrated into the suede, but are permanently stuck in the halfway open position.

These are drop-dead cool. The best leggings I have seen so far. Part of the new trend of embellished leggings, but these are more rock 'n roll than glam. Perfect with ankle boots. If you click on the link for the StylesStalker website, you will see these in action on the home page right now.

DIY - 80's Studded Leather Pants

Just bought these on Ebay. Here is my idea - cut off legs just above knees to make into leather leg warmers. They have a few stud up the side of the legs, so I thing they could be really cool. Then I realized I might be able to use the leftover parts as leather shorts. They are hi-rise though so we will see. I am not sure the old hi rise look is the same as the new fashion forward hi rise look.

These are regular 5-pocket jean cut, so they would make for a very good leather short.

Kiss Boot in Black by Repetto

Kiss Boot in Black -Available at  Zoe

I tried on these booties yesterday and fell in love! Saw them in the window of a boutique in Soho. I had forgotten how unbeLIEVable comfortable Repetto brand dance shoes are. will these be my new winter boots?

NOS Shoe Boutique

How cool are these? Beautiful grey color too. 5" heel with 1" platform. Net, about 1" too high for me to be able to walk down the subway steps in.

I can see them on you though, since you commute in a car.
