Deep wine & berry hues are the shades of the moment & as booties are the perfect footwear for Fall, why not combine the trendy color & shoe style to have yourself the ideal shoe for the upcoming season?! The Grand Mademoiselle Shoe Blog & I have put our shoe-centric heads together to come up with 2 vine colored booties for large, little & regular sized feet. That way, we'll ensure that everyone gets some foot loving' this coming fall season!
For the Tiny Tootsies
From so many readers who have dainty little shoe sizes, here are a couple goodies for you! My top high-heeled bootie choice which will not only fit, but also flatter your feet is the “Lace it Up” from Pretty Small Shoes. Paired with your skinny jeans or pencil-skirt, “Lace it Up”‘s fabulous heel & cream lace-up detail will have people noticing your sleek style, rather than your teeny shoe size!
I'm also loving Hush Puppie's “Kalista” from VivalaDiva.com, with its double-buckled Western-inspired bootie with a chunky stacked heel in a deep berry color. Wear 'em with a loose maxi skirt or under your new flares. Because they're Hush Puppies, they won't only look stylish, but they'll be comfortable too 🙂
Queen-Size Feet
Grand Mademoiselle's favorite red bootie is the “Tillman” by Miz Mooz. This delightful bootie/heel is constructed of buttery, fiery red leather criss-crossing straps that wrap around the entire upper. With a 3″ covered chunky heel, a side zipper, and adorable ankle button, the “Tillman” is a great choice for pairing with a silk maxi skirt or even jeans. This gladiator-style bootie is definitely a favorite for Fall 2011.
Poetic Licence is the second fave pick that the Grand M absolutely adores! The funky brand always finds ways to mix and match retro-inspired patterns with glam colors and bright embellishments, so everything they make turns out fun. The “Love Rush” bootie comes in several colors, but eggplant is perfect for Fall 2011, in keeping with the season's emphasis on jewel tones and saturated red hues. The “Love Rush” is a gorgeous suede bootie reminiscent of the 1980's with a big, bold metallic bow wrapping around the ankle and a reasonable 1.5″ metallic heel. You're sure to be noticed in these booties, and they'd look amazing with a great pair of silk, high-waisted trousers and a glam fur coat.
For the (now jealous!) Regular Shoe Girl
Martin Margiela does it again. This time instead of playing with form, Margiela has some fun with wool material on shoes. This ankle boot with its peep-toe & warm fuzzy exterior is a perfect choice for Fall! I adore the slightly banana curved heel, which reminds me of a ‘milder' version of Miu Miu's glittery alternative for the season. Available at Net-A-Porter.
If you're more into a laid-back feel, Opening Ceremony's “W18” platform clog boot is a definite must. This red stained distressed leather with a deep wine-colored elastic insert for an easy slip-on, ranks high on my must have list. Nope, I'm still not over the wooden heel! Definitely should be worn with cropped on skinny jeans, so not to cover any part of it (did I mention how I love the addition of deep berry colored elastic?!).
What do you think of this fall's wine-colored footwear trend? Are you crushing on it, or prefer to simply crush it?!
