Kourtney is always dressed to the nines for her different publicity ops, press duties and media appearances, but lately she seems to be favoring these ruffle-topped over-the-knee boots to pair with majority of her day-to-day outfits:

Kourtney is always dressed to the nines for her different publicity ops, press duties and media appearances, but lately she seems to be favoring these ruffle-topped over-the-knee boots to pair with majority of her day-to-day outfits:

Kourtney Kardashian arrives at her hotel in NYC on September 15, 2011; Goes to lunch at Bar Pitti in NYC’s Greenwich Village on September 20, 2011; Arrives at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan in NYC on September 22, 2011

Well, you can’t really blame Kourtney — the boots do add both a touch of class and quirkiness to her ensembles. That comes from the boot’s evidently impeccable craftsmanship and quality, and also from its interesting combination of contrasting biker and feminine styles.

Kourtney Kardashian’s current favorite boots are these Valentino ruffle top tall motorcycle boots:

Trust Valentino to add a touch of femininity to everything. Even a typically rough and tough biker boot can’t escape!

The Valentino ruffle top tall motorcycle boots retail for $1,395.00. They are available at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.

For look-for-less options, here are 5 over-the-knee and thigh high boots with the same ruffle top detail. All of these are about $200 and under, and prices start at just $63.99! :

1. Mojo Moxy Frenzy, $93.47 to $107.98 (was $169.95) at Endless
2. Report Gisel, $63.99 to $209.99 (was $260.00) at Amazon
3. BCBGeneration Sanji, $74.48 to $119.00 (was $198.00) at Amazon
4. ALDO Kosiba, $109.98 (was $220.00) at Amazon
5. Kelsi Dagger Sophia, $105.99 (was $270.00) at ShoeMetro (Also available at 6pm for $168.00)

Jil Sander JS15028 Suede High Heel Desert Boots

Why does this boot look like it’s about to pitch forward? Did they just glue that 3 1/4″ heel onto it after it was made?

If you think it’s ...Read more »]]> Though you can’t exactly take them out on a hike, a trek or even for a long walk, we’re fans of hiker, biker and combat boots in towering heels. Of course higher doesn’t always mean it’s better, as demonstrated by this odd-looking desert boot from Jil Sander:

Jil Sander JS15028 Suede High Heel Desert Boots

Why does this boot look like it’s about to pitch forward? Did they just glue that 3 1/4″ heel onto it after it was made?

If you think it’s just the angle in the picture above, it doesn’t look any less weirder in the other shots:

The way the lug sole is raised and doesn’t really lay flat on the ground makes me question when in the designing/manufacturing process they decided to attach that high heel. It’s at such an odd angle and that steep vamp throws it even more out of proportion.

These Jil Sander boots are basically these Report Sahara Desert Boots with a heel pushed up its sole, with no alterations done:

Mad photoshopping skills: Report Sahara Desert Boots + 3 1/4″ heel = Jil Sander Desert Boots

Of course, adding a heel and a designer label alters its price. The Jil Sander JS15028 Suede High Heel Desert Boots are $899.00 versus $70.95 for the Report Sahara Desert Boots, both available at Zappos.com.

Ashley Greene was spotted out together with Joe Jonas in Studio City, CA last August 9th and it wasn’t the first time. They’ve been seen having lunch together several times in the last month and rumors are now flying that these two are dating.

So are they dating or not? More importantly, does it matter?

It probably does to a lot of people as these two are very high profile, but let me focus first on what matters to us most here on this blog: the cute pair of boots Ashley Greene was seen wearing on August 9:

Ashley Greene’s boots are the Deena & Ozzy Pin Stud Boots. The toes on her pair are a bit scuffed, but you kind of expect them to as these boots are only 20 dollars:

Deena & Ozzy Pin Stud Boots

Correction: make that WERE 20 dollars. These non-leather boots are unfortunately now sold out everywhere and they probably sold out fast given their low price and the fact that Ashley Greene was seen wearing them.

Though the 20-dollar price tag is a little hard to beat, I did find a few boots that also have the straps-and-buckles style. Some of these aren’t that much more expensive ($30-40) while some ARE expensive ($80-$100), but at least they’re available and sizes are in stock:

1. Report Adriana, $105.95
2. Chinese Laundry New Castle, $48.30
3. MIA Toledo, $31.98
4. Steve Madden Texic, $64.98
5. MIA Outlaw, $83.40

Except for number 1, all of these shoes are on sale. Get them and find more boots like these at one of my absolute favorite online discount stores, 6pm.com.
