August 14, 2007 · 1 Comment

The lace-up booties have slowly but surely been gaining momentum as one of this seasons fashion staples. They’re old fashion glamor and have always given me the Marie Antoinette feeling. Read on for my break down of popular styles and trends:

–The classic oxford leather style that can give off a masculine feel with wing-tip details but yet a feminine twist.

    But what are you supposed to wear these things with other than pants? My daughter suggested a pointed hat and broom but I’m ignoring her.
