Fashion Faceoff – two sexy winter boots

Same sexy style different price points:
We are in the middle of winter, it’s still cold and mushy out, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up being hot and sexy. These winter boots are perfect because the padding keeps your legs warm, and they have a cool street edge without being as rough or ugly as UGGs or Emus ( yes, yes. I know you’re a die hard fan, but seriously they’re hideous, and yes i used to have a pair, who am I kidding we’re all just fashion victims, but wake up and realize that unless you’re in the backwoods somewhere of out climbing a mountain, these boots should not be walking around Madison avenue). These are a more elegant alternative that can even be worn to work.

Pedro Garcia, Agatha Quilted Platform Boot

Ash, Naomi Tall Puffy Nylon Boot

Can you tell which one is $287.50 and which is $63.00?

Both available online at Shopbop.com I love that store and now there are tons of designer items on sale many even under $100. I was kinda said when they sold out of the Marc Jacobs Jacket that was on sale for $150!

Paris Sale: Soldes January 2008 (Soldes d’hiver)


Its that time of year again, when crowds pile into stores a mad rush at grabbing clothing, knocking other women over with their pocketbooks, compiling battle scars, from shopping. I tell you Parisian sales are no joke, you have to be fit fierce and ready to dive into a pile of 70% off clothes from last season with the rest of paris. You literally have to fight to come out alive. 

Its all the price you pay for a sale that only happens twice a year. Yup just 2 times a year!!! I mean what civilized country can do that to women. Let me tell you, France! We might have the best social and health care in the world but when it comes to shopping at a reduced price, you wait and look forward to the sales like you look forward to the olympics; with great hope and massive preparation. 
It’s certainly not for the faint of heart. You’ll be overwhelmed with choices and shoppers speeding by. One great thing is that every week after the sale begins, the price reduction increases. I can’t tell you the amount of 5Euro stuff I got away with last year! 
Paris Soldes Jan 9th to Feb 16th…all over Paris at shops and boutiques like Printemps, Galleries Lafayette, Zadig and Voltaire, Colette, Diesel, Killiwatch and Kenzo to name a few.
