Ascending Butterfly's 2011 Holidays Buying Guide, Giveaway #11 brought to you by:


DRESS BOOTS!

We've focused on some fantastic cold weather boots this holiday season, but not nearly enough on Dress Boots. I thought today would be a good day to remedy that. I was actively on the look out for a killer pair of Grey Boots so I could pair them with my favorite Kooba bag, and it took awhile, but I found two pairs that not only fit the bill but did so in style. I will focus on one now, and the other very soon.

My instant love of this particular pair is probably very likely because they look like the boot version of a summer shoe I featured earlier this year on Ascending Butterfly. (see my review of the Earthies Veria Shoe HERE).

About Earthies Jasko Boots

Earthies Jasko Boot in Grey (Insert Choir of Boot Angels here!)

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Elaborate folds of brushed suede that wrap from forefoot to shin in lustrous Norwegian elegance.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - A sleek zip-up the back snugly nestles the foot over the contoured footbed
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Exposed platform - Platform Height: 0.87
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Smart 'wellness' heel
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Heel Height: 3.35”

Aren't these GORGEOUS?

 My Take:

As you guys remember heels are usually not the first choice for me after a certain height, (you know fun stuff, a formerly fractured toe, really bad arches, and super high insteps), and Earthies shoes always amaze me with their comfort level at a height that I had already given up on for myself.

These didn't require much of a break in and thanks to the platform and wellness footbed I find wearing them a pleasure!

and I love that I can match them with my favorite bag!

You didn't think I'd forget about you right? Who loves you butterfly?

Ascending Butterfly's All Treats No Tricks Countdown to Halloween Giveaway Sponsored By:


Our weather here has been nuts, it started getting rainy and cooler, and then got hot again. This past weekend was very much 'Indian Summer' here, but having lived in NYC all my life I know just how quickly the weather changes. I am not willing to compromise on style just because the weather turns. And I also need boots that are 'commuter city friendly'. There's a lot of walking that happens in this city (and trains which means lots of stairs too).

I'm a boot lover, I love boots as much as I love handbags and I definitely found this years 'favorite pair'. Not too short, not thigh highs, but just like in the Goldilocks and The Three Bears tale, these boots are 'just right'. The weather hadn't even turned when the boots arrived, but I was like a kid at Christmas who wants to play with their new toy all day long! I have worn them almost constantly since I received them and I love them! I haven't found any outfit they don't match with, and most importantly I don't have to sacrifice form for function, they are equal parts comfortable and pretty! And for those girls who are 'wide' or 'athletic' calves, you'll be happy to know these fit  me well and I'm wide calf myself.



About 'The Prance' Boot

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Equestrian inspired, two-tone, tall-shafted boot

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ -  Full-length inner zipper

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Faux-shearling lining

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Patented “negative heel” sole

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - MSRP: $225.00 (USD)

My Take:

Pictured Above: Ascending Butterfly at Bridesmaid DVD release party wearing The Prance Boot!

In the picture above I am wearing my Prance boots to the DVD release party for Bridemaids! It was a rainy and cool evening, and these were just perfect. I was on my feet quite a bit and when I got home my feet were not even tired!

These are available in Black and a brown color called 'Almond' and I can tell you I am going back for them in Brown, I love them that much!

And if you are thinking 'Deja Shoe', you would be right, I've worked with Earth Footwear before, here are my reviews for the Talera shoes (perfect heels for work or play with comfort footbed) and the Veria shoes (these are so perfect for an evening out, and that red is totally a head turner, I LOVE these shoes and always get compliments when I wear them). I've got to admit that my Prance boots are edging older pairs out, I find myself reaching for these first. With Earth Shoes I have to half size up from normal shoe size, it somehow works out better for me regardless of whether or not it's a heel or a flat. (Remember, that may or may not apply to you, but I always like to share my full experience with a product).

You didn't think I'd forget about you right? Who loves you butterfly?

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - WIN IT! - Ascending Butterfly and our friends at Kalso Earth Shoes would like to give 1 lucky winner will win a pair of Prance Boots of their own! (Color based on in stock size availability). ARV $225
