Design Inspiration: STELLA MCCARTNEY

Who says you need to use 'real' leather for luxury shoes and bags? Did you know that high-end faux leathers look and feel like real leather in addition to possessing the same durability and easy cleaning properties of performance fabrics? If you add an environmental and animal-friendly story to ‘boot’ do we really need to turn Bambi and Bessie into hides? I think not.

Just check out Stella's sexy fall boots below, and you'll see for yourself that 'faux' can be fabulous!

I absolutely love these killer boots! The brown piping on the mushroom color is so cool and dramatic. Available at Bergdorf Goodman

These have a 'old school' 70's look to them that I love. You can't beat the textured faux patent and the gold detail on the heel. This is one sexy bootie! Available at Bergdorf Goodman

I like the belted detail and the faux patent leather in a brown/black tortoiseshell look...so versatile don't you think? Also available at Bergdorf Goodman
