Cash, Check or Charge ~ Miu Miu booties

Booties are for this fall season and Miu Miu’s Naplak Patch booties are right on trend. The walnut, pink and dusty rose colors keep the menswear look feminine. They are $500 on bluefly.com. If that price is too steep for you, Guess comes very close with their version of this oxford bootie with natural colors and they also have it in black. For those of you who are on a tight budget this season, Gojane has a less expensive version. It is not considered a bootie but it has the same chunky heel as Miu Miu and very funky colors.

Cash, Check or Charge ~ GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI sandals

When I first saw the GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI sandals I instantly fell in love with them. The $795 price tag can be a little steep for most so I searched for similar shoes. Guess has a Cabana shoe that is very close except it has gold accents instead of silver and Go Jane has a sandal with a shorter heel with silver accents. The heel on the Zanotti sandal is serious!
