Heels and Height

I got hooked on watching re-runs of the Rachel Zoe Project a few weeks ago. It is really easy to watch an entire season in a few weeks because there are only about 8 episodes per season. Now I have seen the show before and I tend to go back and forth on liking Rachel Zoe (her assistants on the other hand I fall in love with immediately. Jeremiah, Taylor, Brad, Mandana....). What I will say about her is that she does have a very distinct aesthetic, which I like. When someone has a certain style that I can associate with them I tend to really appreciate signature styles whether I with agree with it or not.

  Rachel Zoe's signature has blossomed into her own brand that encompasses a wide variety of looks that are distinctively her. Watching the show I came to appreciate that no matter (8 months pregnant or not) she wore her "tranny heeled" boots.

It might just be a direct result of having a Rachel Zoe Project marathon, but now I am thinking I want some Rachel Zoe-esque boots:

Audrey Platform Booties - I love the embossed leather

Brigitte Suede Over the Knee Boot - The extreme height of over the knee and the platform is great

Leopard Print & Stripes Are Essential

Finally I have achieved adding a few of my much desired items to my closet.

1) Leopard Print Mohair shoes - booties to exact!

If you read my blog at all you know this has been an obsession for quite some time now. I am going through a phase where I am in love with heels and wedges, especially those that are fall inspired (aka boots). I am 5' 7" so I am lean towards the taller end of women, but nothing gives you more of a power trip than being even taller if you ask me. Can't talk down to me if I am towering over you, now can you?

2) Striped 3/4 Sleeve Shirt - (from Madwell, and basically everything they have is on my "must own" list)

I opted for the blue and white, though it came in a very attractive mustard and white stripe too. I wanted all three color options honestly, but this will do for now.

They Are Called Classic for a Reason

Rag and Bone. I think I become more obsessed with them every day. It is at the point where I am basically doing free publicity for them 24/7. A friend actually asked me if I worked for their PR department because my facebook status was more often then not a about Rag and Bone or reposts of people spotted wearing Rag and Bone. Sadly no, I do not work for them....just obsessed.

Fall has come around now and it has led me on the search for the perfect boot. Not necessarily one I can afford (why would that be important? haha) and I would like to announce I have found it:

The Newbury Classic by Rag and Bone. The perfect heel height for some height but also not impossible to walk in.  The perfect rounded toe with a slight point (this is key for me. Toe shape makes or breaks a show for me).  Love the ankle cut. I don't even need to mention that it seems like every celebrity has a pair of these, because they are that fantastic. They come in suede and other colors than black too.

If you have a spare $495 go out and get them now. They aren't called The Classic Newbury for no reason. Their classic, so you will love them forever and never regret spending the money, right?! I am still trying to calculate how I can achieve having these....Rag and Bone, stop being so great.

Blue, Black & Shades of Grey

My dream Fall wish list...I tried to not make it all Rag & Bone. It was difficult though.
