Botas Exoticas: The Leningrad Cowboys

Manolo says, the Manolo’s internet friend, the Yum Yum, has pointed to high-spirited Finnish rock band known as the href="http://www.leningradcowboys.fi/">Leningrad Cowboys, who for the past twenty years have been wearing the pointy hair and the pointier shoes.

src="http://shoeblogs.com/wordpress/images/leningrad_cowboys.jpg" alt="The Leningrad Cowboys and the Botas Exoticas" title="The Leningrad Cowboys and the Botas Exoticas" width="500" height="339" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15376" />

In 1993, they even did the concert with the Red Army Chorus, of which the video below is the amusing artifact.

title="YouTube video player" width="475" height="386" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0lNFRLrP014" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

To the Manolo, the pointy-toes and pompadours of the Leningrad Cowboys have more in common with the href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LELD_V8ZvHw"> Japanese Rockabilly dancers as the obvious appropriation and exaggeration of the American rock iconography, while the sudden appearance of the href="http://shoeblogs.com/2011/04/04/botas-exoticas-mexican-vaquero-elves/">botas exoticas of the baile tribal are more sui generis and mysterious.

But, the Manolo leaves it up to you to decide.

Top Boots For Your Guilt-free Holiday Wish List!

The holiday season is in full swing: Christmas lights all a twinkle, Jingle Bells playing on repeat, and pretty packages tucked snuggly beneath the tree.  However, if your household is like most others out there celebrating Christmas, those expertly wrapped gifts are most likely for your spouse, children, or other loved ones.  All too often do the men in our lives wait until the very last minute to purchase that perfect present. Lucky for you though, because we’ve got the ultimate gift guide for  all you shoe lovers out there.

To stay in tune with the season, we’ve selected the very best boots that money can buy.  Yes, some of them are a little pricey, but we’ve also included a budget calculator for each boot so you can help justify that purchase, whether it’s a gift request made to your loved ones, or perhaps a little Christmas present you buy for yourself (we all deserve something special this time of year, don’t we?).  So go ahead, pick out that perfect pair you just can’t live with out, because boots are a gift that keep on giving.

*The budget calculator will include the versatility and trend durability of each boot, based on a scale of 1-10. The average wear per week and months per year will also be thrown into the equation which in turn will yield the cost per wear of the boot.  Because what’s easier to wrap your head around, a pair of boots that cost $1,200 to own or a pair that costs $5.25 to wear?  I’m guessing you went with the latter.

Fall into Fashionable Footwear

The fall 2010 season officially kicked into gear September 22, well over a month ago, but for those of us living in the South, we have been roaming the streets in flip flops and sandals as that notorious Indian Summer has had its grip on us, refusing to give in. That is until this week.  Fall weather has finally arrived- I even broke out the Uggs last night! (Oh, how I’ve missed you!)

The introduction of cold weather is always somewhat exciting. Long stowed away sweaters and jackets are suddenly brought out of the dark, instantly refreshing your wardrobe.  Beloved boots are dusted off and whispered sweet nothings (everyone does that right?) of how much you have missed them.

Besides the basic fall weather staples, each new season always brings about hot new trends that every fashionable woman is expected to add into her wardrobe.  Sometimes those trends (hello harem pants!) aren’t for everyone and end up claiming more than a few fashion victims.  However, when it comes to shoes, new trends are often easy to pull off.  A stylish new shoe can add that extra “oomph” to an outfit- that old dress suddenly looks brand spankin’ new.

Luckily, this season has introduced some of the freshest new footwear trends to be seen in awhile. They’re not all just necessarily recycled trends returning for their second or third appearance on that well known cyclical fashion wave.  Nope, this season there are many new ideas: lace, military, cut-outs, velvet.  So spice up your wardrobe this fall and try out a trend or two (or three or four). Your tired wardrobe will thank you later.

Velvet

Look regal this season in purple velvet.  These peep toe platform sandals would look rich with black tights and the perfect LBD.

Concealed Nike Air Technology.  4.25-inch heel and 1.25-inch platform.  Available in Aubergine Velvet.

Retail:  $198  $139.99. Available at: Piperlime.com

Leopard

Oh so stylish, and ultra feminine.  These calf hair leopard D’Orsay heels feature a pointed toe with contrasting suede stiletto heels and buckled ankle straps.

Leather sole.  5-inch heel and 1-inch hidden platform.  Available in Leopard.

Retail:  $325. Available at: Shopbop.com

Military

One of the season’s hottest trends, wear these military inspired boots with another hot fall trend, the ankle skimming skirt.

Soft suede upper with aged buckle and elastic loop detail; side zip entry.  4.25-inch heel and .5-inch platform.  Available in Black, Dark Blue Suede, Dark Grey Suede, and Dark Red.

Retail:  $138.95. Available at: Endless.com

Cutouts

These luxurious leather booties have just the right amount of 70’s charm.  Complete the look with a boho inspired frock.

Supple leather upper with organically styled cutouts; tasseled back zipper closure.  .5-inch heel.  Available in Tan and Black.

Retail:  $225  $123.75.  Available at:  Endless.com

Lace

With such pretty lace detail and a stiletto heel, instantly turn any look into that of “femme fatale.”

Open toe heel featuring suede trim.  5-inch heel and 1-inch hidden platform.  Available in Black.

Retail:  $130. Available at:  Shopbop.com

These boots weren’t made for the rodeo.  These western style boots have moto-inspired details guaranteed to give you an edge.

Retail:  $224.95  $137.59. Available at:  Endless.com

CANCER
June 22 – July 22

LEO
July 23 – August 22

There could be a vital culmination in a professional matter that leaves you with recognition or other honor.

It looks like “you’re it.”

Footwear forecast for Leo:  Plomo Oly Suede Oxford Pumps – $285.00 at shopbop.com.

A stalled financial matter will finally pick up steam mid-month. In addition, you’ll have an easier time exploring a new and potentially exciting money making opportunity as you explore new talents.

The Jacket of Sport

Manolo says, our friend Mr. Henry considers the Sport Jacket.

To those interested in the history of fashion, mention must be made that, like so may other fashions originating as actual sportswear, the modern suit jacket originated as a hunting coat for riding to the hounds. The seat vent allows the jacket to drape elegantly astride the saddle.

Most sport jackets today appear to have devolved from military uniforms, specifically the flight jacket and the motorcycle jacket.

Buckle Up Your Fall Footwear Baby!

LIBRA
September 23 – October 22

This is not your time to move forward in financial venture or to ask for a salary increase. In fact, it’s likely that you’ll spend this month and the better half of next month re-evaluating your income and budget – and rightly so. The stars suggest you need to do some juggling. Make sure you know your bottom line before you get buried.

Footwear forecast for Libra: DSQUARED2  style “W10B013102 51” – $854.00 available at zappos.com.

SCORPIO
October 23 – November 21

This won’t be your month to have any plastic surgery or cosmetic procedure so if you’ve been considering it, try to hold off until after November 18^th. While nothing terrible is likely to happen, the stars indicate you might not be as pleased as you could with whatever nip/tuck you endure. Ask yourself instead why you feel so unbeautiful. Beautify yourself from the inside out.

Footwear forecast for Scorpio: Proenza Schouler style “OI0701” – $999.00 available at zappos.com.

SAGITTARIUS
November 21 – December 21

A clandestine relationship might have your focus until after November 18^th. It’s likely that you and this special someone have strong feelings for one another but for whatever reason, the relationship has never taken off. It might be time for closure – for you to accept once and for all that this is not meant to be. Or, it might be time to take the plunge. Listen to your heart.

Footwear forecast for Sagittarius: Miss Sixty “Kiki” – $149.95 available at zappos.com.

CAPRICORN
December 22 – January 19

You might reconnect with an old female friend – someone you always found to be something of an enigma. If you and this pal do reunite there could be a major skeleton in her closet you decide to help her overcome. Make sure it’s not more than you bargained for. You might not be privy to all the details even if you believe you are “in the know.”

Footwear forecast for Capricorn: Charles David “Next” – $215 available at zappos.com.

AQUARIUS
January 20 – February 18

You might reconnect with an old female authority figure that has the power to help you once more. If you feel as if a VIP is trying to take away your income potential, or deny you a well-deserved raise try to exercise patience. It’ll be easier to get what you want if you ask after November 18^th. For now, spend time proving your worth to the company.

Footwear forecast for Aquarius: Bruno Magli “Offlaga” – $490.00 available at zappos.com.

PISCES
February 19 – March 20

It’s possible that you’ll spend the better part of this month (and next month) revising a major broadcasting or publishing project that will showcase your talents in a phenomenal way. If you’re involved in a long distance romance you might begin to have second thoughts. Ask yourself if you’re really in love and willing to go the distance?

Footwear forecast for Pisces: Kenneth Cole Reaction “Moto Racing” – $139.00 available at zappos.com.

ARIES
March 21 – April 19

It’ll be a vital month to re-evaluate your finances. It’s not so much the money you earn that will require your attention, but rather debt you’ve incurred or money coming to you from sources other than your own income. Expect to re-negotiate a settlement, terms on a loan or other equity matter. Investigate your options.

Footwear forecast for Aries: Naughty Monkey “Revival” – $99.95 available at zappos.com.

TAURUS

April 20 – May 20

Relationship matters will demand your full attention since life will prompt you to re-evaluate your partnership requirements. What do you have to give in a relationship? What do you expect out of one? Expect to gain some much needed closure in an intimate partnership or even a business alliance. Sometimes you need to relinquish what you think you need the most. Even in love.

Footwear forecast for Taurus: Rock & Republic “Nahlo” – $354.00 available at zappos.com.

GEMINI

May 21 – June 21

You and a female coworker might need to address an unresolved issue that has diminished the quality of your relationship. Perhaps one of you has not been as appreciative as you could be when it comes to the contributions and talents the other has to offer on the job. Be honest about what needs to be said and take the high road. You’ll be better off.

Footwear forecast for Gemini: Camilla Skovgaard “AW10023-1” – $469.00 available at zappos.com.

CANCER

June 22 – July 22

An old flame might come back to haunt you – or your mind. If you’re in a relationship this might not feel like a welcome experience but the stars indicate you need to go down this road now because closure is necessary. You might harbor a fear of intimacy that is getting in the way of your current relationship joy thanks to this old experience with your ex. It’s time to deal…once and for all.

Footwear forecast for Cancer: Sam Edelman “Vancouver” – $224.95 available at zappos.com.

LEO

July 23 – August 22

Don’t embark on any home decorating project but if you already started one last month it’ll be fine to continue along. Still, refrain from making expensive home purchases until after November 18^th since you might regret what you buy or literally feel ripped off. It’ll be a good time to reconnect with a long lost female relative. She might have a secret to share.

Footwear forecast for Leo:  Jessica Simpson “Inna” – $138.95 available at zappos.com.

VIRGO

August 23 – September 22

If you’re involved in any joint financial matters with a sibling or cousin, this month you’ll need to re-evaluate. It won’t be your best time to initiate any contractual matters that involve loans, settlements or tax matters. If possible, wait until after November 18^th. If you must sign off on documents, be prepared to pay more than you expected.

Footwear forecast for Virgo: Pour La Victoire “Darien” – $310.0 available at zappos.com.
