Get the Look: YSL Diamante Boots

Rock it like RiRi

Remember that time Anthony Vacarello stopped the world by sending a pair of mesmerizing silver, jeweled slouch boots down the YSL Fall 17 runway? Did you also seethe with envy swoon when Rihanna wore those exact boots less than a week later?

OK, us, too. While we had zero hopes of securing the $10,000 (yes, you read that right) phenoms of footwear, we have since been wondering who would be first to make a similar style available to the masses. (Because in addition to that price tag, there's also a crazy waiting list.) Well, it looks like British brand, Kandee, is among the leaders of that pack with its aptly named "Bad Girl" boot.

Though the $550 version doesn't have the structural cone heel (because, uh, hello trademarks), it does have the pointed toe, slouch silhouette and dazzling allover crystals. (That's what matters most, right?) If you're chasing this trend, you'll have to pre-order a pair HERE. They'll take 3-6 weeks to ship— according to Kandee, they're handmade to order. 

As always, indulge responsibly!

12 Days of Christmas: Day 3- Roger Vivier Pumps

Roger That!

On the Third Day of Christmas, I hope the Shoe Fairy Brings to me:

















Three "French" pumps... Well 3 pairs by prominent French designer, Roger Vivier. The hot pink "High Court" peep toed pumps, Gilded "Limelight" platform pumps and the prim suede "Lacey" pumps would definitely put a smile on my face!


















2 Pairs of Yves Saint Laurent Imperiale boots that go over my knee.

And...


A pair of Nicholas Kirkwood Egypt platforms in purple alligator.

12 Days of Christmas: Day 2- YSL Imperiale OTK Boots

Put 'em Over Your Knee

On the second day of Christmas I hope the Shoe Fairy Brings me:



















2 Pairs of Yves Saint Laurent Imperiale boots that go over my knee. No shoehound can make it though this winter without over the knee boots. They're as much a part of the fashionscape as coats and long gloves. I'd like one in leather and one in suede... They create totally different looks. (Available at Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.)

Don't Mess With Me Monday: YSL Sculpted Platfrom Pumps & Three Olives Greek Goddess Cocktails

A Lovely Gray

You devour the sports pages as eagerly as you do WWD. Your Sundays and Monday nights are spent watching football, and you're still as girly and chic as they come. So, today, you're wearing shoes that let your colleagues know you mean business but will also work when you go watch Monday Night Football at your favorite watering hole (which happens to be the swankiest sports bar in town). Some girls wear flats, but like Victoria Beckham, you think better in heels. This sculpted platform pump from YSL (or some other sleek semi-wedge with a platform) is definitely the shoe for you. The combination of sumptuous suede and shiny patent, coupled with the unique silhouette equals a shoe that's just like you. Plus, the 4.5 inch heel and 1 inch platform mean you'll still be able to see the TV screen if none of the guys at the bar are chivalrous enough to give up their seat.

You don't think like most women, and you don't drink like them either. You like a drink with a kick... but you don't mind if it's a little sweet. Besides, tonight, a frilly-looking drink will ruin your street cred. Our recommendation is a Greek Goddess (the name sounds girlie but we promise it packs a punch). It's simply Three Olives Pomegranate Vodka with a splash of lemon/ lime soda. The pomegranate infusion makes sure it goes down smooth, but since it's clear, you won't be chided for drinking like a girl. Do remember, though, that you ARE a lady and that too many of these may lead to some unladylike behavior.
