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.

Aperlai Leather & Suede Booties

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.

Alexander Wang Devon Booties

Cutting edge and trend setting designer Alexander Wang has done it again. He is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers. In addition to loving his Bucket Bag, I absolutely love his Devon Sandals ($525)! Its eye catching selling point is the embossed lizard print which beautifully sets these open toed booties apart from the rest. There's suede along the back and part of the heel which works well to compliment a minimal yet adventurous looking shoe. And the color is ideal. Grey acts as an understated and versatile color palette to work from while the lizard print and suede add an extra punch. For the trendsetters, the Devon can effortlessly transition from summer into fall by adding tights or socks – but given the unpredictable weather I do think these can work well into the Fall without them. Heel measurements: 4 1/2".

Alexander Wang Velvet Sandals

Alexander Wang takes the combination of American Sports with high fashion to an all new level with his Open-Toed Sandals ($499). Initially shown at his Spring 2010 fashion show, his leather and velvet open toed sandals are accented with black shoe laces that are wrapped around the top of the shoe and gathers together in knot on the side. I can't say that I've ever seen shoelaces manipulated in this way, but hats off to Alexander Wang for being creative and trying something different. Luckily, the laces just barely touch the ground so you won't trip. View his looks below to see them paired with toeless knee socks for an unexpected and playful look.
