one, two, buckle my shoe

Some might call me boot obsessed, but that's ok, I can deal with that.  Meet my newest addition to the family.  I had mixed feelings about being suckered into such blatent knock-off-land, but then I realized that these holey shoes and boots have simply become a new part of the global sartorial vocabulary.  Yes, Balenciaga, you did them first.  But you did such a good job that everyone wanted a piece of it, and now we all (kind of) can.  I'm beyond excited about the pair that I snagged. I think they're perfectly balanced: just the right amount of tough and streamlined with the perfect little lift at the heel.

Jeffrey Campbell has gone and done it again.  I never did get those Balenciaga-esque Rocoe cutout boots and to be honest I'm glad; they're looking pretty clunky to me now.  This slick streamlined Everyly cutout boot, on the other hand, is looking just right. 

Available for pre-order now at Acrimony.

Usually I try to avoid having two boot posts back to back (wouldn't want you to get the idea that I'm boot-obsessed, even if it is the truth), but I couldn't sit on this another day.  Remember the Balenciaga cutouts I posted about a while ago?  Well now you can show off your socks (or a little skin) for about $1,000 less.  Check this out:

The Jeffry Campbell Roscoe.  Currently sold out in black, but how about another color?

Also available in red and burnt orange at Solestruck.

Hello funny shoe boot cut out thing. I think you're pretty cool.

You look cute with fun socks, and even cuter showing a little skin underneath.  Either way.  If I had $1275 to spare, maybe I'd think about adopting you.

For now I'll just admire you from afar.  Thanks for being so different.
