The Oxford

Forever and always an oxford girl, I see them as a wardrobe necessity. There are many fall and winter days that I choose an oxford over a pair of boots. I love and appreciate their sleekness, along with their ability to lend an air of classiness to jeans and a variety of pant styles.

As with most things, my personal preference is one that offers a little something extra. Of those featured, I favor the metallic and studded versions....it's all about the details!

THAT Boot!

I know you remember it....Balenciaga's cutout ankle boot. One of last year's hottest, which was often captured on the feet of many a "street style star." Long ago sold out, the only picture that I could find is on matchesfashion.com (I think there may be something like a size 5 left). I remember that Steve Madden offered a similar style, but by the time I discovered them, they too were sold out!

With a style so popular, I was sure that there would be other versions for the upcoming season, and have featured some of the "one-off" styles that have recently popped up. I bought Call It Spring's "Flomiss" and absolutely love them. Apparently I'm not the only one, as some sizes are already sold out on jcp.com. Both comfortable and stylish, I look forward to breaking them in!
