Gold Booties

One of my favorite fellow Charlotte bloggers (and interior designer by trade), Holly Phillips, recently posted on her blog, The English Room, her excitement for gold and sparkly booties. Holly's got mad wicked taste and style. I concur with her passion for the gold booties.  Earlier this fall I snagged a pair of my own during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  These TopShop gems have been a blast to wear at a price to celebrate. Here's a little inspo that I couldn't wait to conjure up when they arrived at my house... 

What do you think of gold booties?  I often have a hard time reigning in the fashion, simply because creating minimalist outfits is a no brainer for me, and I feel the need to push the creativity in order to breathe. But, I do love the simple straightforward downtown girl style of pairing the gold booties with a monochromatic ensemble or one with little to no color.

Here's a round up of gold and metallic booties for your shopping pleasure!  I am particularly loving this Rachel Comey pair.  Click HERE if you can't see the below images.

My New Ziggy Stardust Gold Booties

My Ziggy Stardust gold booties that I ordered during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale arrived this week, and I think they are just fantastic!  #1-They are FUN.  I don't have anything in my wardrobe like them. 2-The price!  I have a pretty expansive (over saturated) wardrobe, as you can probably imagine.  I was lucky to inherit some pretty amazing pieces, and because of my work and love for one of a kind and/or vintage fashion, clients, friends and strangers often come to me with their otherwise throwaways.  Since I am constantly shopping for clients and photo shoots, I really hardly ever buy anything that isn't on clearance or on sale, like these booties.  Side note, another example... the ruffled skirt I paid $150 for, and here's a similar one at retail now for $1207.47!  That goes for the Smythe jacket, Faith Connexion ruffle skirt and Ralph Lauren tie blouse pictured.  Shop more Smythe Jackets (Ducchess Kate is a huge fan) here and here. 

At any rate, I'm psyched for my new gold booties!  I immediately tried them on, as did both of my boys.  I threw together a couple of outfits to share with you before they came in and ran off with them.  Hey, if David Bowie dug 'em!  I've included similar outfit selections below in the event you want to create one similar, starting with the booties of course!  Most of the items are a part of the Nordstrom Sale, but don't delay, because prices go up August 8!
