Booties have become the ultimate fashion misnomer and while many are still trying to grasp the idea of a boot with a peep-toe, the fashion tribes have moved right along. In comes the slingback bootie. The newest trend to walk the runways, the slingback bootie is emerging as one of the hottest trends for Spring/Summer ‘10. But, don’t think this has replaced the infamous peep-toe. Designers will be using them both. From candy coated and tropics-inspired to front lacing and color-blocking, this trend had got it all. It’s all about the bootie for next season and this bootie’s got back! Check out some of our favorite styles from Devi Kroell, Alexander Wang, Cynthia Rowley, and Derek Lam.

Cace from Steve Madden

Originally uploaded by shoedish

We’re totally that bitchy sororstitute, who totally talks mad crap about all her sisters and than uses them whenever it benefits herself. Oh yeah, we are! At least when it comes to our dear frenemy Steve Madden. Our relationship is a brutal one - it’s a co-dependent push and pull - the kind you always beg your friends to get out of. Why are you doing this to yourself? You could do so much better! Alas, we stay and fight, and every once in a while there is a glimmer of hope. Like today, for instance, when he holds out his hand with a miraculous gift; a truce of sorts. Visit Steve Madden! Spend $125 and receive 25% Off Plus Free Shipping using code SM25OFF extended through 9/21 only at Steve Madden!. Stock up on all your fall footwear, like the CACE BRN LEATHER before the war begins yet again.

Is it too cold yet for us to still be promoting gladiator-inspired sandals like these DV by Dolce Vita Women’s Delfina Sandal? I guess that depends on what part of the country you live in. New York City could go either way at this point. Yesterday we hopped around in a mini dress, but a similar outfit today had us freezing in the bone-chilling gloom. We’re going to go with the old shoedish mantra and rationalize with “a sale is a sale”…besides, gladiator sandals will still be cool next spring, so if it turns out you can’t wear them this season, you’ll always have the next. The DV by Dolce Vita Women’s Delfina Sandal is available from between $29.90 and $76.95 depending on what color combination and size you order.

Everyone loves Jerome Rousseau! From celebs like Scarlett Johansson, who wore Rousseau’s “Andromeda” booties while performing with Pete Yorn and Drew Barrymore, who wore the “Abbey” booties while promoting her film, “Whip It”, at the Toronto Film Festival to fashion magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, who featured the “Aizza” as a must buy for Fall Even J-Brand jeans used a pair of J. Rousseau’s booties in a recent ad. In a recent interview in The Province, Jerome said that the five shoe styles every woman should have in her closet this Fall are a glamorous evening sandal, a sharp pair of stilettos, fun flats, detailed leather knee-high boots, and the infamous misnomer, the peep-toe bootie. How many do you have? Better get started!
