stomping into a new month

i've been posting a lot of editorials and street style lately, so i thought it was time to do a good shoe post. as a chicagoan, the shoes i wear are highly dependent on our incredibly schizophrenic meteorology. our winters are epic, and can be highly damaging to important footwear, which means that important footwear must stay closeted during the incessantly treacherous weather.

but, now it's summer. the closets have opened. and the good shoes will reign.

yes, an editorial photo...but how perfect are these boots? i would live in them winter, spring, summer, fall. i'm particularly taken with their slouchy nature, and, of course, the studs. i love a really wide, slouchy, just-under-the-knee boot. they're so comfy, yet so sexy, and they always slim up the legs. not a bad thing. not a bad thing at all.
