Staple shoes.

Let's get this straight: I love shoes as much as the next girl.  Really.  However, I love simplicity and function even more.  For me, there are two types of shoe shopping.  There's the "I need some killer shoes that will make me dazzle" shopping, and then there's the "I need shoes that will go with every freakin' thing in my closet because I just don't have the TIME today" shopping.  For the latter, I have stumbled upon a pot of shoe-gold. 

I found these puppies during a Target run earlier this month.  By Target run, I mean detailed shopping excursion when the original intent was to grab bread and milk.  Oh, you, Target.


Ankle booties


Here's what I love about them:  

1) They do not look cheap.  (In my opinion, at least!)  

2) When I put them on, I was surprised to find that they fit me -- really well!  Not to knock the big T, but several trips I took with the intent on buying flats fell flat.  

3) They are on SALE!  These will cost you less than $25.  Love it.

4) I've seen this style EVERYWHERE!  Booties are fashion-raging, and everyone from Dolce Vita to Rag & Bone are making these in an extremely similar style/color.

5) They seriously go. with. everything.  I wear them all the time with skinny jeans and whatever flowy top/sweater I'm currently addicted to.  I wear them with bootcut jeans.  I wear them with leggings and a tunic.  I wear them with a dress and tights.  I WEAR them.  

So, do yourselves a favor, and get these shoes.  That is all.

Shake Your BOOTIES!!!

Shake Your Booties!



CUTE TREND ALERT!!! CUTE TREND ALERT!!! Ok, so booties aren't exactly new.... they've been around forever.  And that is so for a good reason.  They're a classic that can be spun into your wardrobe time and time again to meet current trends.  Yesterday I posted about the cuteness of boyfriend jeans.  Booties are the perfect complement to shorter pant styles, such as some cute boyfriend jeans, cuffed jeans, or any pant that cuts off just at the ankle. 

Once again, Rachel Bilson rocks the style wonderfully.

That Hawaiian Punch looks amazing, Rachel.


In order to pull off the look, you'll want to make sure that the smallest point of your ankle is exposed.  Cuff your pants, or wear pants that cut off just an inch or two above the smallest point of your ankle, and make sure that your booties show just a wee bit of the top of your foot.  We don't usually think of our ankles as sexy, but they really are a feminine and vulnerable area, and showing a hint is super attractive.
