cut it out

mk and rumi in balenciaga

Remember these?  That was over two years ago, and those damn Balenciaga cutouts still look so good to me.  Time passes though, and since then everyone else has been getting in on the game too.  I, for one, am pretty happy about it.  I know it's a little early to be looking at anything other than flip flops in this heat, but I am already starting to yearn for days when I can wear actual shoes.  But maybe they need to be shoes with holes in them, for built-in ventilation.

So many good options out there right now, so many styles to choose from...

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.

Though my post title reads like an impossible-to-parse (imparsible?) news headline, I think you know what I mean.  I mean the shoes over at Free People.  Like the Jeffrey Campbell "Past Due" above, a higher shafted super tough version of their Roscoe (remember the Balenciaga look-alike?).  A bit much, perhaps, but I think they're really stunning.  And check out the Freebird by Steven "Outlaw" boot; I could totally see slipping these on every single day with jeans.

File this under Things That Will Be Mine One Day.

Mean and tough but soft and floppy all at the same time, I think these Jeffrey Campbell Brit boots were made specifically for me.  Just a matter of time...

cutouts for less

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.
