Loads drooled over Ann Demeulemeester’s modern take on the lace up boot. I stare at them when (rarely) spotted on a passer by. Last sighting/staring was the cream versions on Erykah Badu performing at New Orleans jazz festival. Not sure that counts, but I was still drooling.
Now sold out and banished to mark up heaven on Ebay, I’d only ever find them on a very lucky consignment shopping day. So I was pleasantly suprised to try on this version by Jeffrey Campbell during today’s lunch hour. Clearly not AD’s, but the soft matte leather, extra long laces to double wrap around the leg and overall slightly S&M feel with the criss cross lacing on exposed skin, I was sold. Apparently they are only sold at LF stores.
Wearing black leggings and an oversized jumper today, I walked out of the store keeping them on. Will post shots with them soon. These will definitely do without paying $800 + (but all those who have the AD’s, I’m still jealous).

    The boots are called ANNE. Talk about in your face we know who we are copying.

    Karen, thank you for the name. I live in CO and would like to order them but since LF does not have a return policy, would you mind letting me know if they run true to size?
    Thank you.

    beautiful

  9. Karen says:

    Adriana – they run slightly big. I’m wearing one size smaller than my usual.

    Actually a half a size smaller than my normal size would be perfect but I can deal…

    OMG Karen! You just saved my life – hahaha I was fighting the biggest temptation whether or not I should cave in to get those Ann D boots and I didn’t in the end. My goodness, thank God for your post and JC!

    Wow, those are great knock offs. I had no idea that there were any so I caved in and bought the Ann D’s. But didn’t regret it since. They are so super comfy. At least I didn’t had to pay those high inflated prices on ebay, only full retail 😉

    Enjoy!
