BOOTIE CALL Fall ’12 Roundup

Low ‘n chunky heel for me

Last year I bought myself a pair of Joie wedge booties. This year it’s apparent that I need to incorporate a chunky heel version into my wardrobe — perfect to transition my summer maxis to fall, and pair with skinnies into winter and next spring. Some of my fave looks of the season…

BACKED: Ash / Rebecca Minkoff / Rebecca Minkoff / BC Footwear
PULL ON: Ash / Ash / Steven / KORS
STRAPPED: H by Hudson / Rag & Bone / Tory Burch / Joie
EXOTICS: Matt Bernson / DV by Dolce Vita / Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent / Soles
EMBELLISHED: Loeffler Randall / Rosegold / Sam Edelman / Seychelles
HUED:  Sam Edelman / Belle by Sigerson Morrison / DV by Dolce Vita / Madison Harding

/

Pretty much every single one of these styles comes in other colors, so be sure to check!

Do you have a pair of chunky heeled booties for Fall yet? Do tell…

    I so wish I could pull this style off, but for some reason it just looks silly on me! I still want them all, nonetheless

    Boots are my favorite! I seriously live in boots come fall and winter. Low and chunky for me too. Allow for height and easy walkabilty. They’re so “groovy” :)

    I love a short chunky heeled bootie ;) I invested in a couple of pairs last year and am definitely seeing more than a few that I may need to add to the collection this year…like that gold backed pair…and the black with the cognac straps..oh yeah! in love ;) XO brynn

    Man I need one of each!! Already have a basic one, but the whole Rag & Bone collection is stunning, and Madewell has some great ones too, le sigh!

    Steve Madden Pembroke are one of my faves and I have a pair from Urban Outfitters that are both edgy and darling all at the same time. Anthro has got the most amazing pair as well that I dedicated a post to, they were just that great lol!

    Great post and picks — love everything in the ‘pull on’ and ‘strapped’ sections! I second Bettina’s recommendation — bought two pairs of Steve Madden Pembrook booties last winter (after seeing them worn so many different ways by Samantha of Could I Have That: http://couldihavethat.blogspot.com/2012/08/la-art-crawl.html). I got the taupe and black, and have worn them throughout the summer with crops, skirts and shorts, too. Regretting I didn’t get the cognac color; so glad to see they brought them back this season: http://www.shoes.com/en-US/Product/EC1288967-5165298/Steven+by+Steve+Madden/Taupe+Suede/Womens+Pembrook.aspx

    Booties might just be the perfect shoe!

    these are all gorgeous – if only we could have them all! I like the colored ones most of all, I think they’d make a nice pop in any look.

    Not yet…but I love the look of the ones with the different backs. Just adds a cool edgy feel!
