Let me start out by saying that I like summer as much as anyone. Warm weather and sunshine is nice, but after weeks of high-90’s temperatures, I am looking forward to more moderate fall temperatures. Plus, my recent time in Las Vegas visiting with family may have left me feeling a bit ’summered out’ - at least for a while. Whatever the reason, I was thrilled to discover during this weekend’s window-shopping that shoe and department stores are moving past caged booties, gladiator sandals, and *ick* flip-flops and into fall-friendly closed-toe Maryjanes, ankle boots, and knee-boots.
Yay! Fall has some of the most delicious footwear - particularly if you are a boot-lover like me.
One thing I noticed after visiting several area stores is that grey boots, in particular, are calling to me this season. Perhaps it’s a carry-over from walking through the Bellagio shops where I covetously petted these uber-soft, grey, majorette boots by Fendi that are, sadly, not even remotely in this year’s budget (But *Gasp* - Love ‘em!):
(Fendi boots are $995 at Net-a-porter)
These Fendi lovelies felt soooo dreamy. There really is whole other level of softness that you don’t find in cheaper leathers. (Don’t even get me started about walking through Bottega Veneta and Hermes …. *Sigh*)
