Shake your bootie
Thigh-high pirate boots have started to look a little bit “last year,” so we’re keeping it current with ankle booties (until we have fight our way through waist-high snow drifts).
Beige suede Dolce Vita desert-style booties ($140) go with everything, and with a hidden wedge, everyone will wonder if you grew a few inches overnight. At Brown’s Shoes, 1191 Ste. Catherine St. W, Montreal, 514-987-1206, www.brownsshoes.com
We love Sam Edelman’s sleek ankle boots ($265) for adding instant height and stiletto-sex appeal. The Bay, 585 Ste. Catherine St. W., Montreal, 514-281-4422, www.thebay.com
Grrrr! These animal print booties ($165) by Nine West add a little bit of danger without any overkill. Nine West, 1344 Ste. Catherine St. W., Montreal, 514-395-4660, www.ninewest.ca
Leave it to Jeffrey Campbell to turn black booties into bejewelled beauties ($230). Little Burgundy, 1127 Ste. Catherine St. W., Montreal, 514-286-9414, www.littleburgundyshoes.com
Okay, at $1,200 these certainly aren’t in every budget, but be inspired by Alexander McQueen’s hot pink booties and add a pop of vivid colour to your wardrobe. www.ssense.com —Jennifer Nachshen
