Ankle Booties

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 21, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

If you are familiar with the fashion blogosphere I’m pretty sure you will all remember the studded Chloé ankle boots below as they’ve created quite a buzz among fashion bloggers in 2009. Even though they cost more than a grand, people bought them like crazy and the boots soon were sold out everywhere.

Chloé Pre-Fall 2008

The studded ankle boots were part of Chloé’s Pre-Fall 2008 collection and came in an array of colors like red, white, black and green (my personal favorite!).

Kate Bosworth & Sienna Miller Love Chloé

Famous fashionistas Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller both sported the studded ankle boots in red. Kate was literally obsessed with those boots and wore them whenever possible last year. And can we blame her? They are so cute and both women looked absolutely fabulous wearing them, didn’t they?

Office “Nighthawk” Stud Booties

UPDATE (04/12/2012): Good news! Office’s “Nighthawk” boots are back in stock! But you better hurry, these shoes are flying off the shelves!

ITC reader Mat gave us a heads-up on these Chloé Susan boot look-a-like by Office. It sure looks like the identical sister of Office’s “Manic” boot which sold out a year ago or so. Available in black or brown.

Jeffrey Campbell “Starburst” Studded Booties

Free People always seems to get the best Jeffrey Campbell knockoffs. First they got the awesome Ann Deumeulemeester lace-up boots and now they sell knockoffs of the iconic Chloé studded ankle boots (Free People call this style “Northern Lights” while JC and other retailers named it “Starburst”). Don’t they look almost identical? The heel is a bit off, but the studs and buckles are pretty close to the original. The only downsides are that the Jeffrey Campbell studded booties don’t come in red and retail for not so affordable $198. But the boots are available in black, white and brown, so if you always wanted a budget-friendlier alternative, these Jeffrey Campbell knockoffs are probably your last and only chance as the Chloé booties are a couple of seasons old now.

Acne‘s “Pistol” ankle boot is pretty much the “It” shoe of the fashion blogosphere because it’s either in every style blogger’s wardrobe or at least on their wish list. Apparently the appeal is partly due to the fact that Acne makes great quality footwear and most bloggers say they were totally worth the investment. At first I didn’t really see why these simple boots were so highly coveted, but the more I look at them the more I start to like them.

Alright, I know I already proclaimed my love for a pair of Topshop Chelsea boots just recently, but now that I’ve seen APRIL I know what true (shoe) love is. And yes, it has been decided that these are going to be my next shoe purchase. Yay! But since I already blew my shopping budget this month, I’m going to have to wait until next month’s payday before I can bring them home. The black version it will be because I have rather short legs and wear a lot of black tights during the colder seasons, so it’s the most practical choice for me. The cognac colored pair however is almost just as heavenly. Wish I could buy them both!

Miranda Kerr pulls off easy Hollywood glamour as she steps out to run a few errands. Of course the Victoria’s Secret model is already gorgeous, but also stylish as well. Picking up on the neon trend in a bubblegum pink sweatshirt, and adding tomboy flair with some distressed denim shorts in a relaxed fit. But what really pulls the entire outfit together are her accessories: A fantastic neutral colored bucket bag, a pair of adorable ankle boots with a very southwestern feel, and finishing off the look with face-framing aviators. Scroll down to get more details on Miranda’s young and hip ensemble, and where you can snag the same pieces that are in her closet!

Now that Spring is upon us I know I should be writing and obsessing over cute bright summer sandals and stuff, but instead I am having a major ankle boot moment. For example, I’ve been hunting for a pair of low to flat heeled Chelsea boots in black for what feels like forever, but couldn’t find anything I really, really liked back then during the Fall and Winter. Well, now these Topshop boots came along and what can I say? I’m in love. They’re exactly what I wanted. Simple, stylish and not too expensive. A great pair of shoes for casual outfits which’d look great with leggings, tights or skinny jeans. I am now debating whether or not to buy them right now or wait for a sale as soon enough it will be too hot to wear them. Tough decision, people! Any recommendations?
