Faithful Bootie
CLICK TO BUY

Of course you've noticed actresses, music artists and style icons completing their ensembles with Alexander McQueen's Faithful bootie. A perfect example of summer-to-fall transitional footwear, splurging on this moto-bootie can toughen up your biker-inspired looks and balance out the frilliest of frocks. Wear the ankle collar zipped up for sleek style or unzip and snap the collar down for an edgier vibe.

Steve Madden's 5-inch-heeled leather Seryna is the perfect save in comparison to the "motorcycle jacket in a boot" if your Benjamins don't add up to McQueens.

Steal this style with GOjane's zipper trim fold-over bootie in crinkle patent; also available in red.

High-gloss leggings with a wet or 'liquid' look are an essential and wildly versatile. Up your style quotent by going with a shirred or ruched leg and pair with everything from tunics to over-sized blazers & sweaters to tanks & tees and even a flirty frock. Personally, I think they look best with stilettos but ballerinas are cute too.

STEAL:

We’ve always felt that splurging on a great handbag was a no-brainer, especially when it’s leather (for durability), black (classic and goes with everything), and of course is sizable to hold our must-have necessities. So we’re all for Botkier’s lambskin leather ‘Bianca’, which also comes in black, silver and purple nylon. But if your wallet doesn’t allow you to splurge on the Bianca, check out the options we’ve found that are high in style and low(er) in price.

Arden B’s slouch pocket satchel is a bit squarer but still has similar features as the ‘Bianca’ such as the double handles two front-zip pockets and metal hardware--available in boudoir blush, tango red (shown) and black.

Then we have the distressed faux leather satchel form Forever 21. Closer in appearance to the ‘Bianca’ it has the double handle, metal hardware, front zip pockets and the front flap closure. However you bag your necessities, you're sure to do it in style.
