WARDROBE: They look sexier than the name sounds

After last year's ankle boot frenzy, the rise of the bootie (part shoe, part boot) for fall seems to be a natural progression. Slightly less '80's than its higher counterparts, the shoes veer into pump territory and work well with the season's more refined, grown-up looks. This Christian Louboutin pair is our favorite of the options we've seen so far.
