Lust of the Week: Joie Shoes Santo booties

via Chickdowntown, $420

Now as the summer winds down and fall lurks on the horizon, I'm beginning to think about fall fashions. This season, we've all heard constantly about camel, long coats, calf-length skirts, and a return to lady glamour, but seriously these trends just don't work for everyone. Personally, if I wore a long overcoat, or a calf-length full skirt I won't look like a charming schoolteacher, I'll look like the old maid librarian who probably owns like 10 cats and collects display plates. Not hot.

For those who like a little more spice in their wardrobe, stay true to your siren colours by sporting a pair of hot stiletto booties, like these Joie ones from Chickdowntown. The criss-cross straps and brass toe keep things interesting and give it a slight edgy soldier feel, which you could totally play up by pairing with a khaki skirt and military jacket! Screw playing sweet. Some of us prefer attitude.
