buckled-boots

Yesterday I ventured out for my first holiday shopping excursion and was delighted by the abundance of all things sparkly, sequined and shimmering. All of the unabashedly feminine dresses begged for tough elements, so began my search for a pair of deconstructed buckled boots. I first stumbled across

Fiorentini + Baker

's option at Barney's and couldn't deny their supple leather, tri buckles and steep price. Luckily,

Steve Madden

has an indisputably similar option that will leave you with extra money to splurge on pieces (like

this

here

for $112!
