Booties We Love: Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Mary Jo Bootie 11

Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Booties
Have you seen the Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Mary Jo Bootie?

.
Yes! The Chloe Sevigny Mary Jo Booties are available in size 11 - at least they are now.
The Mary Jo Black Platform boots also come in size 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 in addition to size 11.

With a cool shape, a bordering outrageous platform and elastic goring on the sides, the Mary Jo Booties are statement boots. What do you think of them?
They have a lightweight wooden base with rubber grips and look pretty solid. The Mary Jo booties are 5.25" high heels and have a 2" platform. The shape is really cool and we think they'd make a great daily black bootie that would work with tons of outfits and create many options.
Obviously - they would work well with some 90s grunge pieces - babydoll dresses, denim overalls and flannels straight from the beloved "My So Called Life". The Chloe booties also lend themselves well to mod and futuristic graphic pieces. I'd kind of like to see them with something sleek and polished with some volume on top.

Also, loving the Chloe Sevingy for Opening Ceremony Mary Anne Clog Booties. These lace up clog boots are taller and even more fierce. With a similar shape to the Mary Jo booties, and that major platform, the Mary Anne Clog boots are tough and cool just like Chloe herself. The Mary Anne Clog Boots size 11 are still available as of this posting. Get them quick if you want them.

Work these boots and booties in any season - paired with a breezy floral dress or some micro shorts - they will look season appropriate even in summer. Keep the legs bare and these towering boots will look amazing.

Best Cozy Shearling Boots: Uggs, Bearpaws, Fur!

Best Christmas Gift: Deals on Cozy Shearling Boots


Are you looking for good prices on cozy boots like Uggs or Bearpaws to give this Christmas? One of the most delicious gifts under the tree is always the big box with warm, fuzzy winter boots that make your feet feel like they are inside a toasty fur sleeping bag even if the rest of you is freezing. Ugg boots or Ugg style boots have been popular for YEARS. Now, besides just being a fad, there is a reason for this popularity. There are few things more comfortable than a pair of fuzzy lined or shearling lined boots. You feel like you are walking around in soft, fluffy slippers yet it is acceptable to wear them outside and in public.

The traditional Uggs are still a safe bet for your gift recipients but don’t overlook some of the other newcomer cozy winter boots options.

Here are some top shearling and Ugg style boots picks for every budget.

Under $50 Ugg Style Cozy Boots
We love the Bearpaw Kaska Fur Boots. They are beautiful and luxury boots with a bit of a wedge heel, lace-up with fur detailing and gorgeous suede. They also have a side zipper so you don’t have to deal with lace-ups when you are in a hurry. These are gorgeous cozy, après-ski boots, perfect for those cold winter days. And a perfect gift for your stylish friend or sister.
If you want something more traditional like the Ugg Classic Tall but don’t want to spend over a hundred dollars, check out the Bearpaw Eva 12” shearling boot. They are ultra comfortable and come in all of the best colors. You can get them in that classic tan color, stone, black, chocolate brown, grey and nutmeg. They are made with extra cushiony softness for maximum coziness.

The Bearpaw Women’s Eva 10” and the Bearpaw Women’s Dream Shearling Boots are all under $50 and have the look, and comfort of classic Ugg boots without the hefty price tag. The Dream Boots have a thicker more rugged sole so if you are giving them to a girl on the go or one who faces more rugged terrain, consider going with the Dream boots instead of the Eva Boots. The Bearpaw Emma boots at under $40 dollars are also a fantastic Christmas gift choice. They come in fun rich colors like Eggplant, Wine and Dark Grey and offer all of the comfort of slippers in a cozy winter pair of boots.

These under $50 gifts are a great choice for the stylish comfort loving girl on your list.

Under $100 cozy winter boots
Try the stylish and chic Wanted Okemo Faux Fur Boot. These rugged but glamorous booties come in black, brown and grey with beautiful faux fur lining. They have a Russian princess look to them and they are under $75. The Okemo Faux Fur boots look great with jeans or with dresses and skirts and a pair of thick cable knit tights to keep warm. The Okemo Boots have a thick rugged sole but still manage to look feminine enough for everyday terrain.

Another style that looks just like Uggs but cheaper that also happens to come in size 11 in case you are buying for yourself in addition to your gift list, are the Tamarac by Slipper International Women’s Athena 13 inch shearling Boots. These under $40 shearling boots have a yummy wool lining and let you give the gift of cozy comfort shoes without breaking the bank. You can also get a low classic height pair of Tamarac ugg style boots if you don’t like the taller 13 inch high shearling boots.

The North Face Nuptse Faux Fur Insulated Boots are perfect if your gift recipient is going to be facing the elements. These are major snow boots and look adorable and stylish while still offering the comfort and protection for which the North Face is known. At under $100, the Nuptse will make your wallet happy and make the girl you give them to smile. Nuptse Faux fur boots come in brown with ivory fur lining and all black, white with brown fur and several other gorgeous color combinations. There are available in size 6, size 7, 8, 9, 10 and size 11! Check out these and other hot and cozy North Face boots for great prices here.

$100 and up Cozy winter boots
For one of our favorite shearling cozy winter boot options, check out our page about the ultra chic Sorel Joan of Arctic winter boots.

Sam Edelman Orlando boots are a lovely pair of boots that hit all the right marks. And, right now you can get them for under $140 right here! Sam Edelman Orlando discount alert – get them at a discount. Tall, suede knee high après-ski boots with faux fur that can be rolled up or down so you can wear these boots two ways. They come in black but we are partial to the stone color – ultra luxury for the price.

Splurge Boots - $250 and up
Now for some splurges. We would be pretty thrilled to see any of these gorgeous pairs of shearling or fur boots under the tree this year, wouldn’t you?

Naturally, the classic Uggs short, classic or tall are a good choice. You know what they look like and you can get them all over the place from ebay to your local department store or online. Shop around for the best deal on the ones you want. If you want the basic Classic Tall Uggs, get them here. You will also find tons of other more special Uggs here so you can get something really cool for your friend, wife, sister, mother, girlfriend or um, yourself.

To mix it up a little try the Ugg Sundance II Boots. The Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Boots are fabulous too – it looks like a big white furry collar on the top of your basic Ugg short boots. So luxurious.

Designer Cozy Boots and Fashion Cozy Boots Fur Shearling and More
The Hunter Cervina Over the Knee Shearling Boots are a terrific gift idea as well. They are tall over the knee boots, waterproof, with fur at the shaft and ankle along with buckle straps. We love them! They take some of the classic elements of Hunter boots and marry with the classic elements that we love about Uggs for a truly spectacular pair of boots. They come in crème and chocolate. The Hunter Cervina boots can be purchased now at a discount. Save 30% and get them on sale now. The fur lined sides and around the calf is pretty gorgeous. It's rare also to see the shearling style in an over-the-knee boot. All of the details of the shearling fur Hunter boots are excellent.

Tory Burch Shearling - Find 'em HERE
Another rugged but classic look can be found in the shearling boots with buckles by Tory Burch. Available through size 11, the Tory Burch shearling boots are classic, tough, and ultra luxe and comfortable – making them a perfect gift. They retail at about $250. Tory Burch items are coveted classics. They are known to be well-made and long-lasting. These boots also tend to transcend being too trendy so they are stylish without going out of style for next season.

If you really want to splurge on your girl’s Christmas gift and she likes over-the-top fashion forward gifts, consider the Opening Ceremony Fur Wedge Booties. These look like a plush snow monster on your foot – super furry, fuzzy and cozy in a wedge bootie with a cool buckle in the back. They aren’t cheap coming in at around $500. This Fur Wedge Booties aren't for the faint of heart - they are bold and kind of flashy but with a girl who knows how to style them and wears the right outfit with her cozy booties, these Opening Ceremony exclusive fur wedge booties would make a really fun and surprising gift under the tree this year.

Unique Shoes: Off the Beaten Path Designer Shoes

Unique Shoes: Starring Creatures of Comfort


If you are looking for unique shoes, and want shoes that not every girl is wearing, check out some of our favorite unique size 11 shoes.

The following size 11 shoes and boots can be found at one of our favorite fashion sites, Creatures of Comfort.

United Bamboo Elsa 11 at Creatures of Comfort 
The United Bamboo Elsa Pump – the Elsa Pump has a sculpted stacked heel and some other bells and whistles to make it stand out. It is a black leather pump with a manageable 3.5” heel and gold details. If you like basic black, feminine with an edge, check out the United Bamboo Elsa size 41, of course.

Another standout is the Robert Clergerie Bejart Suede Wedge. It has a 5” lacquered wedge heel with an almost 2” platform. It has cool graphic cutout design and a zipper in the back. The Robert Clergerie Bejart is an expensive pair of shoes. An alternative cool pair of suede black wedge shoes is the Seychelles Women’s Thriller Ankle Boots.

Every girl needs a pair of low heeled motorcycle boots or something to add some toughness to the more frilly looks. The Dieppa Restrepo Ace Boot is just such a boot. Available at Creatures of Comfort in size 11, the Dieppa Restrepo Ace Bootie is tough but glamorous, simple but with great details.

These aren’t particularly unique but being designed by the beloved French brand, A.P.C. Buckle Boot size 11 is on the list because A.P.C. is so adored by the cool girls. The APC Buckle Boot has a tidy 2” wooden stacked heel, buckle detail and the kind of classic shape that can stand the test of time. Again, ladies – they are available in size 41 or size 11 American sizing.
Going a little more funky here, we look at the Acne Highway Boot. These wedge boots are sculptural, unique and functional too. They have cascading little suede pockets covering them and a sculpted wedge heel. Also available at Creatures of comfort, the Acne Highway Boots are expensive (but on sale!) and you will definitely not see all of the other girls wearing these boots. It takes an individual with style to wear them right – what would you pair the Acne Highway Boots with?

Also noteworthy on the site are:

  • Surface to Air Serra Kick Heels in Cognac

No more cookie cutter shoes when you look at this site. They have a surprisingly large collection of size 11 shoes. The customer service is good from my experience.

Boot We Love: Opening Ceremony Tron Legacy Neoprene Bootie

One of the more interesting pairs of booties I have come across lately is these Neoprene Tron Legacy Booties at Opening Ceremony.

Opening Ceremony clothes, shoes and accessories are always interesting - sometimes I don't like them at all, sometimes I love them but they usually provoke a reaction which in my book is good. The Opening Ceremony online store has tons of fresh, exciting designers, collaborations and fun treats to get you inspired and to make your wardrobe extraordinary.

So, apparently these Tron Legacy sock booties are a collaboration with Disney Consumer products inspired by an upcoming movie, Tron: Legacy. The Tron movie capsule collection features futuristic pieces likes these Tron Neoprene Booties that indeed do come in size 11. The booties made of textured rubber and neoprene come in black, bright yellow, my favorite - this exquisite turquoise that for opening ceremony's purposes is called royal blue and a bright orange. The colors of the ankle boots is incredibly vibrant and accented with black - they are show stoppers.

The shoes are open toe, have 5"heels in covered by textured rubber which makes me think they may have nice grip and be easy to walk in despite their height. They also have a 1.5" platform which helps. Love them, or hate them - the Opening Ceremony Tron Neoprene ankle boots are vibrant, fresh and will change up any look.

P.S. These booties are made in the U.S.A. What do you think of the OC x Tron collaboration? Do you like the Opening Ceremony futuristic neoprene peep toe booties?
