Shake your bootie!

The fab fall footwear theme began on Saturday and it will continue throughout the week, darlings! Today: short is sexy! Booties are a must-have for fall, whether they’re studded or embroidered, peep-toe or cut-out, suede or satin, buckled, zip or lace-up, bright or jet, you need some asap. Wear them with your skinny jeans or your shortest skirt – they are versatile and flattering!
