A unique and versatile pair of shoes for the summer, the Seychelles Mamie Bootie ($89) could be a unexpected alternative to gladiator sandals and ballet flats. These nude colored ankle boots have a scalloped outline and eyelet detailing along the edge giving off a feminine and soft look.

The variety of sandals available for the season is endless. You can go with a more traditional style or be daring and wear a pair like the Chloe Ankle Cuff Sandal ($595) , which is a nice mix of traditional and trendy. Traditional because of the color - this will match anything you have in your closet - but also trendy given its silhouette and canvas ankle cuff. It features an adjustable buckle strap so you can wear the cuff up or down. Pair with virtually any casual outfit for a relaxed yet stylish summer look.

Stuart Weitzman Manoman Lace Ups

The designers behind Stuart Weitzman have taken classic oxfords and added an unexpected twist – cut outs. Most likely inspired by the ever popular cut out heels and booties that we have been seeing, the Manoman Lace Ups ($335) are pretty unique. While they may not be the first pair of shoes I gravitate to when getting dressed, it could be fun to try something different and wear them with a dress or a pair of jean shorts, with a slim yet free flowing white tank and a pair of grey socks. The Manonman are also available in black patent leather.

The Fashion Statement: Bootie Call

Italian luxury shoe purveyor Sergio Rossi is commemorating the Cannes Film Festival in a few weeks with an evening sandal made of crystals adorning a soft suede net (pictured above). You can get the limited-edition shoes Sergio Rossi boutiques in Milan, Rome, Paris and London. Personally, I don't miss the diamonds (as in some red-carpet publicity shoes of yore). And, not surprisingly, Sergio Rossi's silhouette of choice? A quasi bootie.

In fact, shoe designers are increasingly pushing creativity to the max, as anyone who has seen this season's Alexander McQueen's armadillo shoes or the Gucci's caged ankle boots can attest. And most designs, whether designers call them sandals, pumps or platforms, are centered upon the bootie concept.

For those of you who've been living under a rock lately, the bootie or shootie or ankle boots or whatever you'd like to call them, are high-heeled boots cropped off at the ankle. It is THE shoe of the moment and they've been around for the past few seasons. Even if the shoe is considered a sandal, the modern look is a foot that's strapped up, buckled up, wrapped up in silk and, generally speaking, hidden from plain view. In other words, anything that gives the impression of a bootie.
