Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal Embellished Booties, $1695 via Net-a-Porter

As you guys may or may not know, Megs and I have been holed up in Pennsylvania for a few days, riding ou the hurricane and waiting for New York to return to normal. Now that it has, we’re back, and we appreciate your patience while we took a couple of days off (mostly because I forgot my laptop charger.) That said, we come bearing awesome shoes: The Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal-Embellished Booties.

With every pair, I can’t help but marvel at what stellar footwear Giuseppe Zanotti has put out for the past few seasons; I must sound like a completely broken record. But just look at these booties – the tonal, stud-like crystals, the incredibly severe stiletto heel, the combination of textures. These are the perfect night-out shoes for fall, bar none.

I don’t like to use superlatives often, because when you do, they lose their meaning. When I say that I think these shoes are perfect, I mean it. I can’t think of a better shoe for a cold-weather cocktail party, and this one could be worn to so many different occasions. Bars, clubs, dinners. Any kind of evening event. And that’s to say nothing of the design’s potential outfit options, which are too numerous and exciting to be contained in a single post alone. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $1695.
