Since a lot of you have given up your fashion mag subscriptions, I believe it is my duty to inform you that while they still suck for the most part, some of the ad images still kick ass. Case in point, these boots by Gucci:

^^Pretty much perfect in every way.

I don’t know what it is about the Gucc, but lately I’ve been feeling that trademark red and green stripe. I mentioned a while ago that I was on the hunt for a Gucci belt featuring that stripe (think I’m gonna have to make a trip to Chinatown to fulfill that craving) and I’m waiting for delivery of a vintage suede Gucci bag with the same logo. I’ll bet you go through those inexplicable fashion longings sometimes, too, don’t you?

What’s up, everyone??

A while back, we posted up some 80%20 fall boot images and here are a few more from the same season whose delivery is imminent.

^^We love 80%20 designer, Ce Ce Chin,  cause she’s one of the few (if not the only!) shoe designers who understands where chicks who love their kicks are coming from. You know. Sexy doesn’t begin and end with heels. It’s about working the TOTAL package.

Three more on the other side….

Ce Ce Chen, founder and designer for 80%20 (inspired by the theory that 20 percent of wardrobe is worn 80 percent of the time) is one of those females that’s beloved around these parts. She’s smart, creative, a total go-getter, not to mention a cutie from the inside out. She was showing her fall 2008 line at FFANY and here are some of the highlights (she didn’t show her riding boot style ’cause it’s already sold out!):

^^The hidden wedge that’s her signature with Western details that are going to make this boot perfect for fall.

^^The hidden wedge with an ankle strap in a cornucopia of colors.

More on the flip….
