Booties, Baby!

If there is any one style in shoes that says 2010, it is the hybrid between a shoe and a boot. There is a lot of variation in what to call shoes of this style, shoes, sandals, booties, shooties, boots. The only consistent description is "gorgeous." We've done a little looking around to find some examples of this style of footwear for any readers looking for a pair or two... or ten.

A bag that complements them all and that comes in a myriad of colors is Rebecca Minkoff's Nikki Hobo. It is one of those splurge-that-is-worth-it items that will serve you well for years to come. Endless.com has a large selection of them and they can be found at ShopBop, Nordstrom, Amazon and Neiman Marcus as well.

Also, considering the lightening speed with which the Paparazzi clutches we wrote about last week sold out on ASOS. We have been trying to find alternate places to purchase those bags. We will post them when we do.
