The 5 Best City Slickin’ Boots to Get at Least 25% Off on at Endless Right Now

Erika — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 07:05:33 +0000

Endless is reminding us not to be fashionably late (perhaps pertaining to Christmas shopping?) by holding this boot sale at their website right now. What a great reminder, huh? If only all reminders were as awesome as this!

Get an extra 25% off on thousands of already marked down boots for women, men and kids at this sale. A 25% discount is also being offered on full-priced boots for orders totaling $80 or more. Coupon code to use is simply “BOOTSALE“. As always, shipping and returns at Endless are 100% free.

Plenty of new boot arrivals are already included in sale but our top picks are these tried and tested boot styles. These are the kind of boots that you’ll want to wear over and over again. The kind of boots that you’ll want to take everywhere with you. These are also the kind of boots that you’ll be keeping right by the door because these are the boots that you can just slip on, forget about and go.

Here are the 5 best city slickin’ boots you can get at Endless. And all of these are now going at at least 25% off:

1. Dolce Vita Jax bootie

The uber popular Acne Pistol bootie has a certain appeal and these Dolce Vita Jax bootie give us that for less. The squarish toe box has a masculine look but it’s balanced out by that slim ankle, fringe pull tab, and the laidback wooden stacked heel.

Dolce Vita Jax bootie, $154.00 (was $198.00) + an extra 25% off

2. Steve Madden Banddit buckle boot

Get these buckle boots in brown for a worn-in vintage look or get them in black for that edgier rock n’ roll vibe.

Steve Madden Banddit buckle boot, $169.95 + 25% off

3. Steven by Steve Madden Pembrook ankle boot

Much has been said about the suede ankle boot. This Steven by Steve Madden Pembrook is considered the low-cost version of the Isabel Marant Forbes and with Endless’ boot sale, we can overlook many of its variations from the original.

Steven by Steve Madden Pembrook ankle boot, $89.99 (was $99.99) + an extra 25% off

4. DV by Dolce Vita Zela boot

We can never get enough of biker boots here on Boots4You. These DV by Dolce Vita Zelas with the exposed metal zip at the back would be a great addition to our growing collection.

DV by Dolce Vita Zela boot, $92.95 to $96.00 (was $169.00) + an extra 25% off

5. Sorel Snow Angel bootie

This Snow Angel bootie completes our list simply because Sorel has always been our go-to boot brand for times when harsh weather conditions take turn for the worse. We love its easy slip-on low cut and fleece trim. Of course, we chose it in black because what other color is best for a “city slickin’ boot”?

Sorel Snow Angel bootie, $67.99 to $79.99 (was $95.00) + an extra 25% off

Kristin Cavallari Leaves LAX in Burberry Shearling-Lined Buckled Booties

Erika — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 07:01:55 +0000

Kristin Cavallari was seen taking her pooch on a plane ride at LAX airport in Los Angeles, California last November 1st.

The first time we ever featured Kristin Cavallari here on Boots4You was just a couple of weeks ago. Now it seems she’s playing catching up real fast because here she is again in another gorgeous pair of boots from her apparently awesome fall boot collection:

Kristin Cavallari with her Yorkshire Terrier Bardot in tow catches a flight out of LAX on November 1, 2011

We’ve been obsessing over these boots for quite some time now so we immediately knew that Kristin Cavallari’s boots are these Burberry shearling-lined platform ankle boots at the very first glance:

Burberry shearling-lined platform ankle boots, $1,095.00 (Sold out)

These boots are from the highly coveted and very much sought after Burberry Fall 2010 collection. These boots are all sold out now and even if you find a pair on eBay, they’d most likely still be selling at the same price or for even much, much more.

If you MUST have these boots, don’t fret — Burberry of course has a Fall 2011 version of this best-selling boot. The look is very much the same except a fur trim has been added along the top and patent leather details have been placed along the edges:

Burberry fur-lined patent leather and nylon ankle boots, $1,095.00

You can find the black color of this boot at Burberry. The khaki color is available at Saks Fifth Avenue.

For look-for-less options and to check out the quilted version of the Burberry shearling-lined buckled booties, head on over to our posts on Kaya Scodelario at the Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2012 fashion show.

These Kelsi Dagger ‘Adelia’ Boots Give the Look of the $900 Fendi Rubber Toe Boots for Less

Erika — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 07:03:19 +0000

I was stunned when I came across the Kelsi Dagger Adelia boots while browsing through the new arrivals at Zappos today. They look so much like the Fendi rubber toe boots from Fall 2010 that I thought I was looking at the real thing!

But I know that Zappos doesn’t carry Fendi (yet) and AFAIK, Fendi has not come out with a new version of their popular 2010 rubber toe boot for this year.

For reference, here are the Fendi rubber toe boots:

Just some of the very many colors of the Fendi rubber toe lace-up boots. From L-R: brown suede, camel suede and mouse leather, $647.99 (was $900.00) at Bluefly

And here are the Kelsi Dagger Adelia rubber toe boots:

Kelsi Dagger Adelia rubber toe lace-up boots in forest green

Kelsi Dagger Adelia rubber toe lace-up boots in slate/black

Kelsi Dagger Adelia rubber toe lace-up boots in black/black

They look so similar, don’t they?

Okay, okay, so you can immediately see the differences when you put them side-by-side like I just did. But I think you can see why I so easily mistook the Kelsi Daggers for the Fendis! Kelsi Dagger just added a leather strip at the back of the boot which IMO, makes this design more beautiful and flattering to the leg. Kelsi Dagger retained the suede upper material which I think they could have switched out for faux suede so you don’t have to worry so much when you actually do wear these out in the snow or rain.

The Kelsi Dagger Adelia rubber toe lace-up boots are priced at $170.00. It is still a bit high for a look-for-less option but it is at least a whopping $700.00 less than the Fendi’s original $900.00 price tag!

If you will be getting either the Fendi or the Kelsi Dagger boots, here are some styling ideas from Russian-born designer Vika Gazinskaya, street style star Giovanna Battaglia, and my current style blogger/fashion designer/book author obsession Abbe Diaz:

These boots are a lot more versatile than I thought!

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale Bust Out the Boots for a School Meeting

Erika — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 10:00:53 +0000

Last Wednesday, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale dropped by their son Kingston’s school in Beverly Hills to check up on his progress. It must be unnerving to have to face these two in a one-on-one conference especially if you’re like me who grew up listening to No Doubt and Bush.

Here are pictures of Gwen and Gavin leaving Kingston’s school together:

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale leave their son Kingston’s school after checking up on his progress on March 23, 2011

Imagine having to talk to Gwen Stefani about her son while she’s being super fashionable in that navy harem pant suit and those leopard wedge booties. As for Gavin Rossdale, all he has to do is look at me to turn me back into the fan girl that I was 10 years ago! If I were Kingston’s teacher, I would prepare for this meeting weeks before it takes place. I’d also have to constantly remind myself to be a professional and try hard not to be tempted to ask for their autographs.

But their fame, good looks and stylishness is going to make things really hard!

Let’s take a closer look at the boots Gwen and Gavin are wearing:

Gwen Stefani’s leopard print wedge ankle boots

Gavin Rossdale’s duck boots

It was pretty easy identifying Gwen’s ankle boots. All I had to do was search through the most recent L.A.M.B. collections to find out that her leopard wedge ankle boots are part of the L.A.M.B. Fall 2011 collection:

L.A.M.B. Nate II, $375.00

I usually like the “twists” that L.A.M.B. puts on their shoes but I’m not such a big fan of how the wedge heel gets cut off midway and gets replaced by the leopard print material on these ankle boots. It looks unbalanced, disproportionate and awkward, and as you can see on Gwen, it makes her feet look unnecessarily heel-heavy.

As for Gavin’s boots, they are these Sorel 1964 Premium T CVS Snowboots:

Gavin has had these boots for a while now and has been seen wearing them quite a few times. These must be a seriously comfortable pair for Gavin to wear while just out and about in LA. No need for heavy snow or active winter sports — the streets of LA are enough to warrant shoes that give maximum warmth and protection!

Gavin’s Sorel 1964 Premium T CVS Snowboots are $129.95 at Endless. Gwen’s L.A.M.B. Nate II leopard ankle boots aren’t available online yet, but you can shop for L.A.M.B. at online retailers like Zappos, Shopbop and Endless.

Kristin Kreuk on the “17th Precint” Set in Ilse Jacobsen Rub 1 Rain Boots

Erika — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 22:31:52 +0000

Kristin Kreuk is currently in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to film the pilot of the new NBC TV show “17th Precint”.

Like Ashley Tisdale who films “Hellcats” in Vancouver, Canada, Kristin Kreuk also has to wear boots off-duty to keep out the bitter cold and chilly rain while waiting in between takes:

Kristin Kreuk walks around the rain-drenched set of “17th Precint” in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on March 21, 2011

I wonder if the boots Kristin Kreuk is wearing in these pictures are really part of her TV character’s wardrobe? I’m asking because I think those boots are too cute to just wear behind the camera. So far, Kristin is only playing a temporary guest star role on this TV show. But it’d be cool if they made her part of the permanent cast so we could see if her own boot collection could rival Ashley Tisdale’s!

Kristin Kreuk’s puddle stompers are these Ilse Jacobsen Rub 1 Rain Boots:

They are by the Danish designer Ilse Jacobsen and are handmade in Denmark. Ilse Jacobsen’s style aesthetic comes from her Scandinavian roots of utility and simplicity, which she combines with personality, innovation and femininity. This is clearly reflected in the Rub 1 Lace-Up Rain Boot which is now not only the brand’s most famous shoe style but has also made Ilse Jacobsen • Hornbæk a design icon in Scandinavia.

You can get the Ilse Jacobsen Rub 1 Rain Boots for $179.00 at Endless. The navy color is currently on sale for $129.00 at Free People but only 40 Euro and 41 Euro sizes are left. If you wear either of those sizes, get ‘em while you can!

Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick Wear the Same Red Hunter Rain Boots on “Gossip Girl” Set!

Erika — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 03:59:36 +0000

It’s not very often that we come across unisex shoes, let alone seeing a man and a woman actually wearing that same pair of shoes!

So it was a rare sight last Thursday when Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick both wore what appears to be the same pair of bright red rain boots while on the set of “Gossip Girl”:

Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick on the “Gossip Girl” set on a snowy day in New York City, January 27, 2011

Which do you think is the most plausible situation as to why this happened:

(1) Were Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick given this same pair of red boots?

(2) Did they unknowingly pick up the same color of the same pair of boots when they went shoe shopping?

(3) Did they go shopping together and picked out these red boots for themselves?

Logic is telling me that these actors most likely get their shoes for free, but I’m going to believe number 3 just because I like to imagine Blair and Chuck going shoe shopping together. Dorota carrying Blair’s shopping bags is in that fantasy too of course!

Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick’s red rain boots are these Hunter Original Gloss Boots:

Hunter Original Gloss Boots in Pillar Box Red

They’re $125.00 at Zappos.com.

I tried looking for these over at the men’s department, but they didn’t have this color for men!

Can anyone please confirm if Hunter does make their men’s rain boots in Pillar Box Red? If not, then that means Ed Westwick is wearing women’s boots… but hey, as long as they’re comfortable!

Top 5 Boots to Wear this Winter 2011

Erika — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 06:46:47 +0000

As much as we want to wear our cute sexy heels, the harsh winter conditions this 2010 / 2011 calls for something that’s much more practical, reliable and warm. With temperatures in the single digits and snowfall reaching up to 50 centimeters in some places, even good ol’ ankle boots, comfy sheepskin boots and trendy but slippery flat-soled riding boots just aren’t going to cut it anymore.

It’s time to bust out the hard-wearing footwear folks and we’ve got a list of the top 5 boots to wear for this winter 2011. Keep the cold at bay and your tootsies dry and and toasty in these made for the cold and made to last winter boots:

1. Duck Boots

Many brands have come out with their own version of duck boots (even Marc Jacobs has his own) but Sorel has got this market cornered. Their tried, tested and trusted seam-sealed waterproof construction will protect you in temperatures down to even an impressive negative 25 degrees Fahrenheit! Try that technology out in this Sorel Cate The Great Boot which also feature a waterproof leather and suede boot shaft, warm fur lining and a removable recycled felt InnerBoot.

Sorel Cate The Great, $200.00

2. Ugg Boots

A lot of people swear by the warmth and comfort from ugg boots, but unfortunately, their usual suede, nubuck and sheepskin materials aren’t built to withstand snow, water nor the salt on the road. If you just MUST wear a pair of ugg boots this winter, then try this UGG Broome II style that’s fully lined with warm sheepskin fur goodness but is constructed out of more durable leather and fitted with rubber outsoles.

UGG Broome II, $220.00

3. Rain Boots

Hunter is the brand we turn to for rain boots but remember, they only have a thin, quick dry woven nylon lining. Solve this issue by purchasing a pair of thick thermal socks to turn your rain-ready boots into winter-ready boots too. Hunter also sells their own thermal socks which are priced between $25.00 to $40.00 per pair.

Hunter Original Short, $115.00

4. Quilted Boots

When we say quilted boots, we mean down-filled too. This The North Face Nuptse Bootie III has thick 700 gram down insulation which makes us believe that these ARE quite possibly “the warmest and most comfortable slip-on footwear on the planet”.

The North Face Nuptse Bootie III, $85.00

5. Rubber Boots

Last but not the least, rubber boots. You might think that these are just rain boots too, but these Bogs boots are in a class of their own. Made with a stretchy neoprene upper that hugs your legs and guaranteed to keep the cold out, these boots are rated for temperatures down to -40 degrees F. Pull these on easily with grab handles located on each side of the boot and you can forget having to worry about getting wet or cold.

Bogs Classic High Corsage, $95.00

Stay warm and dry everyone and have a happy new year!
