You've read all about them and now your all going crazy for them, knee high boots are the latest come back to hit the catwalk and we're dying for a pair. From Halston to Stella McCartney, they boots are back and higher than ever. So how do you work them without looking for a $6 cent hooker? Simply by following these rules:
I Had the pleasure of meeting Jerome C Rousseau and viewing his footwear collection a few months back and I have been infatuated by his designs ever since. Rousseau's shoes exude charm, feminitiy and confidence, all the qualities a woman should possess. The structure and quality of the shoes are immaculate and most of all, original. View the entire collection here.

Every once and a while, a shoe comes along that be-stills my heart. Enter: Christian Louboutin. These limited edition Christian Louboutin's were inspired by Marie Antoinette and created in conjunction with embroiderer Jean-Francois Lesage, of House of Lesage. On February 26th, these exquisite and luxurious peep-toes were finally available at Louboutin's Madison Avenue boutique. So, who showed up to get their hot little feet into one of only 36 pairs? Unfortunately, at $6,295, I was not one of them. However, in my dreams, I will wear these divinely stylish beauties every single day (amortization, you know) ... and I will kiss the very ground I walk on.
I was first introduced to Nicholas Kirkwood Shoes through the Rodarte runway shows and I instantly took note of the structured, phenomenal and lust worthy stilts of this new fabulous shoe designer.

I had to share this great satin platform pump I found at DSW. It's the perfect shoe to really kick your outfit from boring to fabulous. I especially love the built in platform seeing as I'm extremely tiny and need a lift now and then. I purchased the fuchsia pair but they're still on their way. If I like them enough I am going to get all the colors especially the baby blue. I'm trying to get away from the safe black choice, ever since I was really amazed by how much black I own. These shoes would go great with an all black outfit or with a matching dress of that color. Get your pair here.
Winter is not complete without luxurious sheep-skin boots. We recently discovered the company, Australia Love Collective and we fell in love with your gorgeous array of decadent sheepskin boots. What sets Australia Love Collective apart from the rest is the attention they pay to details. The boots feature excellent craftsmanship and embellishments such as luxurious furs, satin ribbons, handmade buckles and hardware.
Our favorite boot from the FW08 collection is the Tibetan Gypsy. It's a glamorous way to beat winter. With luxurious rabbit fur trimming and toggle closures this is definitely the must have shoe for fall. Try it black. Believe us you'll fall in love the moment you slip them on. Buy the collection at Neiman Marcus. For More info please visit the official Australia Love Collective website.

The Maxi Dress:
Chic Manhattanites wear the maxi dress both in the urban jungle, and during their Hampton getaways. Seaton is a fantastic wearable brand, look for it at Shopbop.
Vests:
Indie loving trendsetters love to layer with vests. Designers caught on with the vest idea and created "vest" dresses like the featured "draped vest dress" by Mara Hoffman. Another great designer for vests is Karen Zambos Vintage Couture.

Booties:
Perfect with skinny jeans.
The T Strap:
In a New York taxi cab, like all great ideas, David had his brain child after seeing New York women walking the streets in tennis shoes and thought it was time for a change. Joined by his sister Donna in 2004, they developed the technology and the footwear designs to take a fashionista from day to night in a blink of an eye.
