"THE INVESTMENT SHOE"






Have you ever found yourself saying; "I will buy these shoes only because they are an investment!. I could wear them all the time, in fact I already have a list of 30 outfits they would go perfectly with". Well, this is pretty much the story of my life, although I have to say that there are few pairs that do deserve to be called a "shoe investment", like those black stilettos that you can wear with absolutely everything, or those black boots which are perfect for summer AND winter and that no matter how many NYC blocks you walk -up and down-, you find that your feet are still intact and no pain in sight.
Well, I must admit, I still haven't found a good pair of black stilettos but today, as I was walking out of a meeting, I bumped into an Opening Ceremony store, saw these pair of Alexander Wang boots and found my "investment boot"...They are not the stereotipical pretty black boots, but how Rock n' Roll are they? I think what really captivated me was the metal detail of the heel, they are just SO COOL and I am already thinking of one million ways to style them and I swear its not just an excuse to justify my purchase :P

lafemmealamode said...

Haha, totally get you! That was also the reason why I bought my Isabel Marant Cuba boots! :)

Emily Ulrich said...

The cut-out heel is so the defining detail, here. Love how simplistic the shoe is besides that little peek-a-boo spark. Ha ha, in my opinion, "investment shoes" deserve a category of their own on web stores.

Anne said...

Those boots definitely look comfy, and you can def rock them during any season. What's a + is not feeling any pain when walking up those long NYC blocks. (I can attest to walking along those long blocks.)

I've never been to Open Ceremony, but always wanted to go. I'll need to make a trip there when I'm in the city next time which will hopefully be soon! (I live 1hour away from NYC.)

I love these boots, the heel and the style is just perfect. I think I like the regular shoes (with cut out heel) even more. Alexander always has such cool, rock 'nd roll and laid back items. Wether it's shoes or clothing or bags. Good investment, Andy. ♥-Axelle

Genial tu nueva adquisición!

Hacía justo unos días que había visto estas botas por internet, pero no me imaginé que te las comprarías, ya que siempre te has proclamado más fan de los tacones altos :O Desde luego son una buena inversión y tus pies te agradecerán un descanso entre tacón y tacón :)
Ya tengo ganas de ver tus próximos outfits con las botas.

Estoy enganchada a tu blog! Gracias por darme inspiración :)

Have a nice weekend in NYC!
