The Shoe Diaries

Little girls love boots. Period. Having a four-year-old daughter myself, I can attest to that! No lie, my daughter has five pair (not counting her winter boots) that she regularly wears no matter what the outfit and what the season! Even with having a lot of snow in Wisconsin, she often opts for her Nina boots or her EMU Australia boots instead of her nice warm weather-proof Keen boots!

It looks like Hugh Jackman knows what his daughter, Ava likes! She is wearing a pair of black patent boots similar to the Hush Puppies Sweety that retail for only $34.95. In addition to this picture of Hugh having Ava on his shoulders, other pictures were taken of him in New York City pushing her in a stroller with some cute mary janes on! It looks like they are having a lot of fun and have a great relationship together. Like everyone always says, she’s “Daddy’s little girl”!

Hugh was latest seen on Oprah via video link by surprising her and singing Happy Birthday as she celebrated her 56th birthday on her show. I don’t know about you, but he is one of my favorite actors, and it’s a bonus with his charming looks!

I’m not sure about you, but it is going to be hard for me to wait until March 8th for the new season of Gossip Girl to begin. Taylor Momsen is seen here on set and looking like her old bad self again. With Jenny Humphrey there is always gossip to be talked about!

She’s definitely looking good with her edgy, floral tights (which I love!) and her boots. You can find a similar pair of boots at ShoeMall for $139.95 – the Fergie Shooter Boot.

Boots, Boots, Boots!

Whether you want to look like an urban cowgirl or biker babe, fall 2009 is definitely the year of the boot! The best thing about this years boot trend is that it is covering so much ground.

Western has completely exploded this fall with full perforated and classic stitch detail to the plaid shirts with snap buttons. Time for Brittany (Spears) to haul hers out of the closet…AGAIN! I though she would never take hers off in 2007 — maybe she was just ahead of all of us from the start!

Granny boots have hit the scene with corset lacing and surprising detail like peep toes and ruffles.

The sassiest boot look to come back by far is the over the knee tall boots. Think of the movie Pretty Women, but you won’t have to color in the heels with a black marker on these. Dress it up or down with your favorite tunic and leggings, from suede to leather, high heel or flat, this is a boot trend to design your outfit around. Khloe Kardashian knows how to rock the thigh highs in this simple yet feisty look!

Last but not least, if you want to look like you are riding a horse or a Harley, flat boots are a hit. We all want to look fashionable but not pay the price with swollen, sore feet. Three cheers for riding and motorcycle boots!

Chinese Laundry Tripin' $99.95

Basic harness boots are back and the riding boot will always be in classic style. Tuck them into skinny jeans or get a little edgy and pair them with a cotton dress and tights.

Miley Cyrus will be appearing in the new Sex and the City movie, set to hit theaters next spring! This news shocked me, although I’m not sure why. If you think about it, the combination seems to work. Both Sex and the City and the Hannah Montana star are huge pop sensations right now. Miley also seems to be trying to shed her younger image and evolve into a more mature star. Appearing in what is sure to be one of the biggest movies of 2010 can’t hurt!

According to People.com, Miley will be playing herself in the flick – and having a run-in with one of the movie’s most fashion forward stars. Samantha and the teen queen will be sharing what just might be a Hollywood star’s worst style nightmare – showing up at a movie premier in the same outfit as someone else!  

Luichiny Caliente Jo Fay Boot

While SassyBella.com is reporting that the SATC 2 dress the duo wears may retail for around £1,995, you don’t have to shell out the big bucks to steal another trendy look from Miley. Both slouch boots and over-the-knee boots have been big hits this fall. Combining the two creates another choice that works surprisingly well! For a similar look, take a look at the Luichiny Caliente Jo Fay Boot. I love the sexy stiletto heel on this boot. Plus it can be worn cuffed, creating two stylish looks in one!

The November 2009 issue of “O” The Oprah Magazine has hit stands, and ShoeMall is in it! Starting on page 192, “The Well-Bred Boot” kicks off this article where “O” took hundreds of pairs of boots for a test-walk to find this season’s best! On page 199, you will find the Volatile Joust Boot for only $87.95. This over-the-knee suede leather boot is bound to get a lot of use this season, and is available in black or grey. 
More importantly, this boot is comfortable with it’s low heel, and it’s double buckle in the back allowing for less tension at the knee.

Volatile Joust $87.95
