I’m trying to avoid going into stores so that I’m not tempted to spend. Things are so much more enticing in person than they are online. I went into Barneys recently and I thought I was going to start licking the purses on the first floor. They looked so delicious. But I have new jewelry designs, new photographs, a new catalog and a new website to pay for. Oh, and new business cards, letterhead and packaging. I need to prioritize! Still, I am pondering the need for a pair of brown boots. These Miu Miu ones are nice and the heel looks high but sturdy.

While browsing the Bergdorf Goodman site, I noticed these black booties by Michael Kors. I do a lot of walking during the day, and this 2″ heel would be good for that. The boots are also a little Beatles-y, which is a plus.

I have a pair of old wedge-heel boots that give me about the same height as the Michael Kors, so I will probably just stick with what I have. The old ones are not the most comfortable shoes for a lot of walking, unfortunately, but don’t tell me to wear sneakers or flats! I’m strictly a heels woman.
Speaking of boots, if you’re looking for a rubber rain boot, I think these are pretty cool, but I wonder if the holes for the laces let in too much water.

When I was in high school, EVERYONE wore LL Bean shoes for bad weather.
I hated the LL Bean shoes! Even then, before I wore heels, I was distressed by the unattractive shoe options for rain and snow. A few seasons ago, I was delighted when model of decorum Marc Jacobs came out with rain boots with heels. I got yellow ones because they made me think of the Morton Salt girl.

I wore them earlier this month when we had a deluge.
This picture was taken earlier in the day, out the window of my cab. I was trying to capture how flooded the street was (very!) but I don’t think this really shows it. I still like the picture because the yellow of the other taxi contrasts nicely with the grey day. For some reason, I’m obsessed with yellow!
I’ve looked around teh Interweb a bit and haven’t found any new high heeled rubber boots like the ones I have, but these amusing Chooka boots would certainly brighten up a cloudy day.

OOoohh lovely yellow boots! I went to eBay to bid but the item’s not shipped to anywhere outside of the US, I’m so sad… 🙁
The Beatles boots make me think immediately of Bob Dylan. Yellow is such a happy color! I think the Salt Girl should be the inspiration for next year’s fashion shows. That’s a look I would adopt.
eek!! yellow boots!! and i am a size six . . . and i am also teh broke. fall is hard on us girls with no money: all those sexy boots and sweaters cost a lot more than the flimsy tops and sandals of summer. guess it’s off to the goodwill with me…
I want those Miu Miu Boots now! A girl can never have too many..
love the when it rains it pours salt girl! and shes not that old, cheer up ;D

Love your yellow boots!
And those Miu Miu brown ones are definitely a temptation!
I love those boots.
Luchi*cha!
your yellow boots are too cute!
oh you have to get the miu miu boots, they are gorgeous. although high they are thicker so perhaps more stability and less footaches. Are they online and how much are they?
