Is It Possible to Wear Shorts in the Winter?

It seems like a crazy question to ask - who would wear a pair of shorts baring their legs to the harsh elements of winter? Most likely no one. But even the dreariest and coldest winter season has mild days where outfitting yourself in a pair of shorts doesn't seem like an insane idea. And with a little sense of adventure, it can become one chic outfit.

Christian Louboutin Zermadame Boots

Filed under: Shoes

There is a whole lot of sexy coming from Christian Louboutin's Zermadame Ankle Boots ($701). And it's the kind of sexy that can be tamed with "an ode to the 70s conservative" outfit (think Chloe Fall 2010 line - beige wide leg trousers with a loose fitting blouse) and still be worn into the office. Or completely unleash a vampy side by pairing with skinny cords, a body hugging dress or even a pair of fall/winter shorts and decorative tights.

Set in intense dark red leather with faux snake print, Louboutin's pointy toed boots have sheen making them even more noticeable and ultra stylish. The heel measures at 4.5" and features a back zipper for an easy slip on and slip off.

Alexander McQueen Faithful Bootie

Filed under: Shoes

We are huge fans of virtually everything Alexander McQueen created. And we've covered a host of McQueen's work to show our love and appreciation; from apparel to bags and shoes. Back in July we covered his gorgeous nude De-Manta Tote and now we're featuring shoes to match.

The Faithful Collared Bootie ($1245) is also set in nude and is accented with his signature biker jacket collar inspired fold-over that we have have seen in many of his accessories. Hanging from the functional exposed zipper is a gold logo engraved skull tab and decorative stitching at the heel. McQueen's 5" heeled open toed booties would pair well with slim fitting cargo pants or matchstick corduroys.

Casadei Ankle Boots

Cobalt blue may not be the first color that comes to mind when searching for Fall boots. Black, browns and greys are safe, versatile and compliment all of our Fall outfits; while cobalt blue is definitely more adventurous. Featured above are Casadei's candy colored ankle boots ($920). The Italian fashion brand has taken a risk by infusing such a vibrant color for the Fall, but I think it actually works. Casadei mixes suede and patent leather throughout the body of the shoe, with a 1" platform sole and super funky sculptured 5 1/2" heel.

A classic black ankle boot gets an upgrade with an excess of twisted gill detailing. It's a simple accent that packs a punch while enabling its wearer to maintain a conservative look with a slight edge or pull off a trendy and funky off-the-wall ensemble. The Aperlai Leather & Suede Booties ($1464) are wearable and versatile enough to work either way. They feature an open toe, a heel at just over 4 1/2" and a platform measuring at less than 1/2". The elastic on either side make it easy to slip on and off. These are definitely a pair of ankle boots that you'll have for years to come.
