But onto happier things. I was looking through photos taken during my birthday week and those of you who have been looking for a cheaper alternative to the Ann Demeulemeester S/S 09 boots may be interested in the picture below:
The photo was taken in Laguna Beach, but the store was already closed when I took this picture. I couldn't go in to investigate further, but these seem to be under a Jeffery Campbell line called "Limited edition"? These seem really close to the Ann D's and even KL thought that they were the same ones that I had. The best reproduction of the Ann Demeulemeester lace-up boots that I have seen by far! Even the multi-bow sandal next to the Demeulemeester look-a-likes are a decent alternative to the Marc Jacobs bow sandals this season!
A recent acquisition from my Vegas trip:
Givenchy s/s 09 booties
I got these on super-sale from a shoe store at Wynn. Love love love the huge zipper running up the boot, plus the cowboy boot details. It's like a bad-ass, shoe-gone-wild version of a cowboy boot, which suits me just fine, given that I always depend on my accessories to add that extra zing to my outfit. They are really comfortable and run true to size...expect to see them featured in an outfit post soon.
And another shoe-porn picture:
Rick Owens S/S 09 multi-strap booties
I call them my mummy (as in Egyptian) boots! They are in the colour dust and the multiple straps remind me of the fabric strips that are wrapped around mummies. The wedges may look deceivingly high and intimidating, but they are really comfortable! I have no problem walking in them!

I live in Irvine and I desperately want those Ann D's - might you know the name of the store?
Hi ya,
I'm so jealous of your Givenchy and RO boots. Both have been on my wishlist for a while now. I'd love to see the RO on you because I've never seen them on a foot, I think. So congrats!
The AD knock offs are indeed Jeffrey Campbell. I saw them on another blogger and she said that she got them from LF in NYC.

gorgeous! the rick owens totally look like mummies! good call!
and yep, i saw those jeffrey campbell ann d look-a-likes on cocorosa's blog. they look so similar though! must find them.
those Rick Owens look heart-stoppingly beautiful. Can't wait to see pics of you wearing them.
Anon - I'm sorry but I can't remember the name of the store anymore but it's definitely at Laguna beach. If it helps it's on the same block as the art gallery just before BJ Grill. The art gallery faces the beach/boardwalk so walk down from the gallery away from the beach and you'll see the store. Good luck!
Hey Velony, I'll try to grab an outfit post with those mummy wedges soon :D
Alice - Hello! those are the best Ann D knock-offs that I have! Definitely worth checking out!

Hi there!
It's the first time I'm visiting your fabulous blog, I love it!!
First one all off: I hope you're feeling a little bit better now. The changing weather and temperatures are so exhausting this year and I'm feeling not so very well, too.
The Jeffrey Campbell "Ann D." boots are gorgeous, I've seen them on another fashion blog, on Karen's "Where did you get that" you can find the direct link on my blog roll.
The Givenchy boots are awesome or like Lucrecia is saying: A triple A!! Of course the Rick Owens boots are a fantastic find as well - congrats!!!
I'm wishing you all the very best, get well soon!
And have a wonderful and sunny weekend!
Sofie
cant wait to see you style those !!!
incredible
We Were Damsels
You NEED to be giving me those Givenchy boots, pronto!!!!!!!

i'm dying from a lack of strappies

Everyone, thanks for your get-well wishes. I'm surviving on a diet of chicken soup and Nyquil now...seems like this will have to get worse before it gets better :(
meesh - hey girl, yup ginger tea does help in soothing the cough :)
Lucrecia - I got them from Antonioli.eu..they run true to size and I highly recommend getting them because they look so awesome but yet so comfortable!
your mummy boots are soooo sick!
I'm so jealous. You have amazing shoes
Ur shoes collections are definitely TDF! Drooling over ur Ann D's laceup booties and Givenchy!!
ahhh..i snapped up those jeffrey campbells IMMEDIATELY after spotting them on another blog.
they really are the exact same, except they go a bit higher up the leg.
Those rick owens boots are my dream boots! And I know how comfy they are, I've tried on several pairs at the RO store. Too bad they never seem to go on sale!
And congrats on grad school, I'll probably be taking that leap in the next couple of years. It'll be hard to go back to studying! I'm sure you'll be fine though.
OMG! I love those Givenchys! what a buy! and yes, those JC Ann Demeulemeester knock offs are awesome! I ordered them last week and haven't stopped wearing them.. come check me out!
