Foot Fetish: Acne, Sergio Rossi, Bottega Veneta

by

Love these Acnes.

Want these Sergio Rossis.

Need these Bottega Venetas.

Thanks to gorgeous blogger Deja Pseu for pointing out the lovely leopard Sergio Rossi boots. Very tempting. But I’ve been looking for gold boots since 2008. What do I have to do to get the shoe fairy to leave all three pairs under my pillow?

The gold of the Bottega Veneta boots reminds me of the LeSportsac carry-on I just got. LeSportsac was MAJOR when I was in high school in the ’80s. I still remember the purse I got after coveting it for months: plaid with a gray background. I’m admittedly no longer a fan of LeSportsac’s purse style, but I love the travel bags for their lightness and durability. I had a Large Weekender in black for over 10 years. After the outer pocket finally ripped, I planned to get the same style in black patent. The patent was sold out, so I got gold instead and now I like it so much better than the black! I’m feeling that ’80s LeSportsac elation all over again.

I heart this bag.

  4. If I bought those Bottega boots, would that be a ticket into your Golden Girls club? 😉

  5. DuranX2… very appropriate considering your fond memories of the LeSportsac.

    Speaking of fondness, I actually dig the pink Acne shoes, though I have to wonder why the shoe company is called Acne. Seems a bit off, non ?

  14. The gold boots are amazing! I like the LeSportSac in gold more than black too. My aunt has had hers (black) for 20 years, or something totally ridiculous like that.

  16. My husband has a pair of Fluevog Iggys that look like those pink shoes (his are red). I had a navy blue LeSport Sac when I was in junior high!

  19. The gold boots are epic! cannot believe you are in London and I am missing out on meeting you sweets 🙁

  28. Hi Wendy,

    Your jewellery is stunning, i’m sure i’ve just seen some featured in a magazine lately? UK publication.

  30. The gold bag is awesome, and unmistakable as yours in any airport in the land!

    I’ll petition the shoe fairy for you. Those pink not-cowboyboot shoes are absolutely necessary for your wardrobe of black jeans.
