Blue Boots, Baby!

Ninety percent of boots are either black or brown.  It stands to reason, because they are often worn in the fall and winter months when both wardrobes and the weather tend to be dark and heavy.  But boots aren’t just about keeping your feet dry.  They can rock a simple skirt or black denim jeans; and they can give you a look that is all about being sexy and tough--especially when they break the color mold.

What do you get when you combine two of this year’s hottest trends:  royal blue and ombre shading; add a snakeskin pattern; and bring it all together with a simple sexy design?  Why, the Charles David Misha ankle boot, of course!  Get ready to have complete strangers run up to you begging to know where you found these.  They are as unique as they are beautiful.

Italian made with a 3 ¾” heel and an elasticized inset, it is a testament to creative shoe design.  The metallic blue leather makes it look like something from the distant future, but the shape of the boot is classic enough to satisfy even the most devout fashion traditionalist.  Forget about black or brown boots—how often do you even see metallic blue boots?  Much less have an opportunity to own them?

David quit school at 13 and joined a shoe company in an entry level position.  The now 73-year-old designer has come a long way, now boasting more than sixty years in the business, 25 boutiques worldwide, and selling in over 500 retail stores.  He claims that he takes his inspiration from women; and it is easy to see that these shoes are made to not only adorn women, but to inspire them as well.

Misha is a perfect complement to an outfit built upon a basic black skirt or slacks.  The design is understated, letting the color and texture of the leather speak for itself.  A flash of blue the ankle will surprise onlookers, and work to make a statement against the studied simplicity of the clothing it is paired with.

Right now, you can get Misha at 49% off at BlueFly.com.  The $239 price tag ensures that this lovely boot will not last for much longer, so snap up a pair and cherish them for many years to come.

If you’re longing for even more attention, try the Giuseppe Zanotti electric blue suede ankle boot.  Zanotti worked as a DJ prior to launching his line of shoes, and the trendy style of this boot is a testament to time spent in an Italian discothèque.  The color simply cannot be ignored, and the styling is sexy, edgy, and bold.  Finished off with a 4” silver stiletto heel and a zipper down the back, these boots will make you feel like a rock star.

Try it paired with a short black dress and a coordinating blue suede belt to bring the heat.  Available for $795 at Net-a-Porter.com, you’ll be looking for reasons to wear these, even if it is only to the grocery store.
