Curbside Stories

The two are not exactly the same, just to clarify but both are boots, peep toe, nude and wedge so I might as well consider them as mirror image.  The Rich Hippie laser cut out wedge is $315 at Neiman Marcus while the Kelsi Dagger nude wedge is only $148 at Urban Outfitters .  I could not decide which is best disregarding the price.  What do you think?

  Guieseppe Zanotti  four zip ankle boots (also available in black), $934 $468 at Far Fetch . N. Y. L. A Cudahy boot (also available in black and white), $119.95 at Endless . At one zipper less, you get the same effect minus the hefty price tag.

I couldn't possibly wear boots in the Philippines at the current season but I would like to own a pair in preparation for the rainy days come June.  I am currently wanting a pair of wrap around boots because it is a perfect complement to my bad-ass self.  Many Hollywood stars like Carrie Underwood , Jennifer Love Hewitt and Mariah Carey are sporting this kind of boots in town and they all looked chic.  Again, here is my splurge, save and steal options for the wrap around boots: SPLURGE Dolce Vita strappy platform boots, $398 $339 at Victoria's Secret . SAVE   Luichiny Ray of Light Boots, $69.95 at Endless . STEAL     Leg Avenue Bandit Boot, $64.99 at Endless .
