Santa, Please Put These Carin Wester Klea Sherpa Ankle Boots In My Stocking

($429, Carin Wester, Urbanoutfitters.com)

Granted, Santa, I know I don't "celebrate Christmas" or "believe in you," but perhaps if you could please somehow fit these perfect, putty-colored Carin Wester wedges into the stocking I do not own, I could make a gracious exception. How does that sound? Also, seeing as how they're $429, I will completely understand if this is my only stocking stuffer. I think that's more than fair.

Frye On Bluefly!

Two quick Frye picks from Bluefly:

($246, Frye, Bluefly.com)

The "Vicki Campus" boots in grey at $152 less than on the Frye site.

($156, Frye, Bluefly.com)

The "Lisa" bootie -- so cute and significantly less than the ones on Zappos.

($94, Frye, Shopbop.com)

Not on Bluefly, but DEFINITELY on sale. These are the "Fiona" Oxfords I blogged about the other week, but they're even cheaper than the ones on Frye and than the $129 dark brown ones on Urban Outfitters.

Hayden-Harnett's New Boots Only Encourage My Wanton Leo Spending Habits

Come ON, Hayden-Harnett! As if I didn't have enough lust in my heart as it is! Now you gotta dangle some of your new $595 Zelda Zippered Cuff Boot (in Eucalyptus) in my lap while I just sit on my hands and try not to touch? A WOMAN HAS BASIC HUMAN NEEDS!



At least the Hayden-Harnett for Target collection is fast approaching! Per PR, it hits stores -- and Target.com -- December 28, 2008 (through March 3, 2009), with no Internet pre-sale, but obvs I'll keep you posted if I hear anything. And meanwhile, I'll be counting down the days until the next Hayden-Harnett sample sale and PRAYING those boots show up in a size 8, puhweeeeze!

Steve Madden: Favorite Boots...

These grey Steve Madden "Favorite" boots are a self-fulfilling prophecy.

($169, Steve Madden)

Love the fold-over cuff and, of course, the grey hue. They're nice in their black iteration, but grey saves the day! ... Or something...
