Sneaker lovers, these are must-haves! By Josi The Sculptural-Heeled ShortiesMonday, October 29th, 2012With Lady Gaga and other artists exhibiting an unusual sense of (so called) fashion, designers are becoming more and more conceptual when it comes to their imaginative designs. From whimsical creations to something more wearable, we have the perfect sculptural-heeled booties to wear anywhere in the city, courtesy of Boutique 9, Dolce Vita, and Jeffrey Campbell.
All in the details, the chic Emlyn high heel booties from Boutique 9 are perfect for a glam night on the town or an upscale lunch date with friends. With its platform and more than 5” of high heel jewelry, these beautifully unexpected booties will certainly get you all of the attention wanted. Many have spoken out about women’s love for high heels, but these avant-garde sculptural shoes take stilettos to another level. Unleash your ladylike look with the Nisha high heel ankle bootie by Dolce Vita (also offered in black). Made of calf hair, this is your go-to glam bootie of the season. Finally, the very well known Jeffrey Campbell brand that refuses to conform to any standards, always brings rare species into the footwear world. We love how the Eva-2 high heel pump looks stylish with its plush, suede layer and slanted heel. Pair with your fave skinnies for a sexy, edgy look. Tired of the same old shoes everywhere you turn? Go for something different. Happy shopping! by Josi Loving our ManolitasThursday, July 26th, 2012
