TRENDY, NEW WOMEN'S ANKLE BOOTS

At first glance, the trendy, new ankle boots for fall may not seem that evolved from the shoe booties that were so hot last fall. But, digging deeper you start to see the details that are going to make the new offerings so unique and fashionable you will be motivated to get out and make a few installments to your shoe closet's inventory.




As you can see, the use of metal studs, buckles and big zippers is in our faces. These babies might not make it through a metal detector, but they are zipping up and down the runways where stylish bomber jackets and messenger bags are carrying those metallic details all over the models' bodies.

For the stylish diva who maintains a wardrobe of leather bomber jackets, Roxy may be the brand to monitor. Cheap at less than $100 this cute faux leather jacket will leave you room to buy sexy, designer boots where inexpensive is not the best option.
The open toe ankle boots with a row of silver buckles up the side is simply crying out for beautiful toes fresh from a professional pedicure with flashy coats of eye catching polish.

LUSCIOUS RED ANKLE, CALF or KNEE BOOTS

Ok, I'm developing an ankle boot fetish. I just can't get enough of these sexy little bootys! And I am not alone....would you like to know which of your men have emailed me to ask for resources for booties? Don't be surprised if you get a pair of fishnet stockings and a pair of suede stiletto heel boots in your stocking on Christmas.

If you've been a very good (or naughty in a good way) little girl, Santa might bring baby pair of mid-calf or knee high metallic red boots to keep her pretty legs warm. A nice collar of soft fur around the top would feel ever so nice and look so festive for the holidays or just for lounging in the ski lodge with a cup of hot chocolate.

Here are a few more of my favorite things in flirty red leather! I know that solid red is very sophisticated, but I couldn't resist including the pair of wild designer boots in purple and red even though they are outrageously expensive.

SHOEBOOTIES A TRENDY, NEW NAME FOR ANKLE BOOTS?

We reported a few days ago that since the weather has gotten colder, we had spotted the possibility of a new fashion trend. We reported on just how hot Celine Dion’s outfit that included a dress with a pair of suede ankle boots (shoebooties) and textured tights was about a week or so ago.

The Early Show jumped on board with us this morning and didn’t give this little movie star fashion blog a bit of credit! No surprises there, but pardon me if I can’t resist the temptation to crow a bit on being on the cutting edge of star wardrobe trends that are easy for the average woman to copy. Shoebooties are really cheap and we are always on the lookout for an inexpensive way to look fresh and stylish.

Joanna Coles, gave a demonstration on the proper way to wear this style lady's shoe as well as sharing her ideas on when, where and how the boots might be worn with success.

Why she would bother to issue warnings that every woman (or kids) might not be able to pull off the fashion? It stands to reason that you wouldn’t put a young child in stiletto heels with pointed toes to protect the development of their young, delicate feet. Nor would an elderly person want to wear an urban style with gothic studs and chains although all that metal might just look stunning against the chrome on their walker!

After looking around at selections of the slouched ankle boots as well as the sleek, trim styles; I do believe there is a pair out there for everybody no matter what your age, leg shape or body profile might be. Children can wear flat ankle boots with a roomy toe box without risking damage to their little feet. Granny can find a well constructed pair of leather boots that have some orthopedic qualities and the plus size woman will look booty-licious in a wide width suede pair of ankle boots for women covered in bling bling that will draw the eye towards the generous curve of her legs.

We are having such FUN with these boots and we hope that you will give your curvaceous calves an opportunity to shine, too! Invest in basic colors with too many decorations and you will get many miles of wear out of your footwear. They are seen in pictures of pretty pedicured toes every winter and that’s not going to change. Ankle boots won’t go out of style, even if the trendy, name ,shoebooties, does!

Along with basic black and brown leather, go funky and wild with a pair of red slouch ankle boots or shiny black patent leather ones for the holidays. Think how fabulous they will look with sheer hosiery with a bit of sparkle to match your red sequins on your holiday top or dress.

CELINE DION'S BLACK SUEDE ANKLE BOOTS

There's no denying that Celine Dion could take two foot length pieces of wood, strap them on her lovely narrow feet and make them fashionable! I've admired the way she looks in her outfits as well as her selection of footwear and today is no different.

She was wearing textured black tights and black suede ankle boots. The dress was a form fitting black number with hot pink detailing which was cute, but whose allure was pale in comparison to the display closer to the floor!
It makes me ask the question how Celine stays so thin, but manages to skirt the "skinny stick legs" syndrome that plagues models with similar body mass.

I'm not certain of the designer of the black boots, but here are some similar styles with the pictures of the more expensive ones at the top and the inexpensive ones last.

The Lumiani Bedelia come in gray and brown suede as well as black and I just love the heel which is just a slight bit more substantial than the Vina. How do you like that precious, sexy ruffle at the top? The selling point of the Vina is the joining of black suede with patent leather details. Many ladies will prefer the slightly tapered heel. For use with a business suit, the pleated cuff on the Lumiani Viera might display those sexy calves in a more professional manner.




I know this entry started out as a tribute to Celine Dion's ankle boots, but
I can't resist showing you this pair of playful, mid-calf Betsey Johnson faux fur trimmed boots. They scream "ski vacation" don't they? The pom poms make me want to be a cheerleader! Spike heels add some sex appeal to the mix.



Now for the cheap black suede ankle boots that I promised you!
