Red Boots = Hot Mamasita Boots. Don't be Jealous.

I have a lot of favorite boots in my closet.. I know, I always say, "These are my FAVES!"... yeah.. I know.. but these have definitely made the list.  I am for sure head over heels in love with these boots from Poetic Licence.  And why shouldn't I be?! Pfffft.  They are hot-mama-sita boots.  Sassy? Um, yeah. Sexy? Very much so, thank you. Especially with a cute black dress I have.. *wink*

And of course, I can call the Hogs in these.. Um, yeah.. Don't judge me. Wooooooo Pig Soooooie!

How can you resist that luscious, drool worthy, want-to-pet-it suede?! You can't. Looksie at that heel, too! You won't even feel these after the day is over! And if you do, well, once you grab a few drinks you won't feel much of anything much less these heels.. Think about it though, this is my sales pitch *gets up on soapbox, turns on mic*....... You never see the perfect red pair of boots. EVER. And if you do? They are generally nasty hooker, plastic red boots that you feel like you should sanitize everything you touched after wearing OR they are gross-your-grandmother-has-them-too "Ooooh dear look! We can be twins!" red comfort boots. Don't go there.


Yeah.. So. Run to MustHaveShoes Site and use your 25% promo code: 25ASHLEYP .  Yep, use it or lose it, sister! Sass it up.. You know you want them.

Muster Up Some Looks in These!

Lord have mercy on the jealous women in my life... these boots are just that fabulous and too bad they sold out. Yep.. Sold out before I really had a chance to wear them!

Over the knee. Cuffed. Delicious caramel color leather. Tassel detailing. A subtle platform for amazing comfort.  These are NOT last years' boots.

Nicole "Muster"

 

I love love love the color.  I wear these with everything. Literally, everything.

 

And omg. You can wear them over the knee and when you need to look a little more sensible or the skirt is too close to the top of the boots, you can cuff them down like Peter Pan.

This whole season has been a boot season.  And so far these have made getting dressed so much easier in the morning...not to mention not wanting to rip them off right after work.  I may or may not love them so much I own them in black too.. Don't judge. I just know a good boot when I see them.

Any hopes of finding them?  ummm... maybe they might show up on the Musthaveshoes site again.. and if they do... I urge you to use the promo code 25ASHLEYP for 25% off on them or anything else you decide to purchase! The code is good from now till Dec 31! Enjoy!

5th Grade Art Project? Well, a Damn Good One Then!

The latest edition to my very small collection and by small I mean.. like 4 pairs. Yeah, I know.  But, these new lovies from Steve Madden make me super stupid happy.  Especially stupid happy when the clerk at my moms store looks at me and says, "These look like a 5th grade art project!".... *FACEPALM* But I seriously couldn't help but laugh.. because, well.... They are quite the shoes.  And they might resemble an art project from the 5th grade.. glue, glitter, kid dumps glitter... yeahhhh... okay.

But I'm loving these festive flats to rock with jeans as a casual gem for the grocery store or our local mall AKA Wal-Mart.. Yeah, I know I've got class. Perfect for airport shoes with some personality.. well, maybe more than some. And if nothing else, they are for sure conversation starters..

They May Not Be Ferragamo, But...

Lazy Saturday morning = Chance to catch up on my blog... Sorry I've been slackin' lately ladies.  But yeah, work calls and calls and calls and eventually.. well, you get the idea.

Finally able to enjoy a Saturday to myself, I sat down this morning with my cup of coffee and picked up a book I had forgotten I actually had.  A book the lovely @MeggsT sent me for Christmas last year as a surprise.  "Fifty Shoes That Changed the World". Yep. She truly appreciates my inner dork and love of all things shoes.  But it totally reminded me of this wonderful pair of shoes I had yet to post... For shame, I know!

My heart goes thuuuuuuudddddd everytime I try these fantabulous oxfords on.  These beauties are from Poetic Licence.  Their name???  "Backlash"..and in this rich yellow with tweed detail and luscious brown satin laces... well... umm.. you can see why!! 

They are the perfect wear with everything match all oxfords of the season. Yep.  *nods* The great mustard hue acts as a neutral tone with your wardrobe.  Now, I definitely prefer sticking to the brown side of that wardrobe with these rather than wearing black with them at all as to avoid the bumble bee look, but you can definitely go as close as a great gray. 

Now I couldn't help myself when we got these in... I fell in love with the yellow, but I am having an affair with the mint green ones!

*pants and fans self* I totally am beyond infatuated with the deep purple satin laces that elicit drool and the boldness of the turquoise petal trim that makes the tweed pop in such a sexy way... these are NOT just oxfords. These are naughty secretary..naughty schoolgirl... naughty shoe rep.. *giggle* Just.. yeah..

But we must thank the great Salvatore Ferragamo for his beautiful patchwork oxfords of 1930....

With the Mondrian-esque feel of Ferragamo's take on the oxford, he was making a sexy menswear statement.. showing it could also be done with an artistic twist adding visual appeal and personality to the shoes.  What I wouldn't give to get my hands on these vintage lovelies?! *swooooon*




Go check out the book for yourself.  It was a great surprise last year!  I love it! Easiest place I've found it is online at Amazon. 

As for the shoes? Well.... umm... for the most part these girls are sold out.. *hides* But you might catch some still online with Feet First down in New Orleans, LA or on Anthropologie?
