A lace-up oxford with unexpected detailing: a peep-toe version with airy cutouts along the foot and on the toebox. Nice and breezy for warmer temps! This shoe has a small 3/4″ heel, and a cushy footbed. You’ll find the beautiful rose gold to be a very versatile metallic. Fab with Summery skirts and frocks, and fun with BF jeans, shorts and trousers as well. Runs true to size.

This is the Spring version of my python print Petty bootie, a style many YLFers also loved. A whitewash shades the heel and sole of these taupe-coloured suede cuties. A little rugged, modern and versatile. The heel height is great and they are very comfortable to boot. Also available in New Navy Suede.

Sloshing through puddles becomes tons more fun with these stylish wellies. Hunters are the Rolls Royce of rain boots. They are comfortable, flattering, durable, fit like a dream, and have an adjustable calf buckle. The length is especially great for long-legged lasses. Available in eight delightful colours (the enamel has stolen my heart). Be sure to check out the many rave reviews on the Nordies website too.

I love this distressed little ankle boot. Its Western vibe and the unique metallic colour, somewhere in between silver and gold, make for a fun contrast. Looks great under bootcut and straight-legged pants, but you can also tuck in your skinnies or slouchier jeans and trousers for a very on trend look.

This fab casual lace-up bootie is soft and cushioning. I highly recommend it if 3 1/4″ wedges are a comfortable height for you. You can fold up the ankle flaps to create a longer boot. It reminds me of a dressier version of a high-top sneaker, and can be worn in the same way. Available in grey and black. Be sure to read the rave reviews.

A stylish three inch heel bootie by Danish comfort brand ECCO. This lace-up bootie has a fab sculpted heel, cushioned footbed and great comfort levels. It also comes with the Comfort Fibre System technology that helps wick away moisture, keeping the feet cool and dry. Available in black patent, warm grey and amber. Personally I liked the patent best, just because it looks dressier.

Now this is a boot with loads of pizzazz! This camel leopard print pull-on boot has a soft stretch suede upper designed to hug your legs. The sleek silhouette and 2 1/2″ heel make this a good option for dressy occasions. The cushioned footbed and flexible sole will add to the comfort factor. They will be especially versatile if you are prepared to pattern mix your outfits. Flop proof with solid dresses and skirts.

The metallic detailing on these sleek pull-on ankle boots is a subtle nod to this year’s sci-fi trend. I like the graphic integrity of the silver colour-blocking, the low circular heel, and the close fit on the ankle. I have not tried these on in person but have a hunch they will be comfortable because of the elastic inserts and suede-esque upper. Great to add a fun edge to a jeans, shorts or trouser outfit.

A lace-up oxford pump with a fabulous menswear vibe. The broguing and uniquely shaped heel give this ped loads of pizzazz and retro charm. These are too high for me, but with the reinforced arch support and cushioned heel they are comfy. Wear them with a flirty skirt or dress, skinny or straight-legged jeans or pair them with wide-legged trousers for the Katherine Hepburn look. These pumps might run half a size big, and are also available in dark grey and black.

As I write the black version is on sale for $97.99

This slip-on ankle boot is KILLER! It perfectly combines the very on-trend androgynous vibe with ladylike detailing. The patent crinkle polish adds great textural interest, and with a 1 3/4″ heel it’s very comfortable as well. This cutie is made in Italy and runs true to size, but it will probably not fit a wider foot. It comes in black and burgundy, the colour of the season. Beautiful!
