Lace-up Boots
Lace-up boots. They’re a little bit ‘Victoriana‘, a little bit 'horsey sloane', and a little bit ‘your gran‘. Whichever category you think they fall into, they’re the designer boot du jour and they’re a good alternative to Uggs or Mukluks (them again!) if you like your boots more streamlined and feminine. These heeled ones ('Vase', $159.99 from Nine West) are a good modern take on the look, and work well worn over skinny jeans with a gypsy top (no poncho though, there is such thing as overkill). Don’t make the mistake of wearing these on a hot date or (our version of a hot date) a shoe-shopping trip, though. It’ll all end in tears when you try to undo the laces.
Nine West shoes are available in the UK at House Of Fraser.

Hi, I checked out the lace-up boots at Nine West and while they were the closest thing to what I've been looking for that I've found yet, they still are not quite it. Basically I've been searching for a pair of boots like the ones modeled in this year's DAX autumn/winter collection. The boots are the ones worn by the 'circus' couple who are pictured sitting on a boat. DAX doesn't actually make them and I've been dying to find out who does (the Nine West ones are a bit too stiletto-like). Any suggestions?
