Fall 2009 Accessory Report- Part One

I love when I open my email and notice a lovely update from style.com in my inbox.  That, and the WWD morning reports are great to wake up to.  So I was happy yesterday when I received the Fall 2009 Accessory Report, only to click and be directed to a huge list of designers.  After sorting through over 500 photos of shoes, bags, and jewelry, I saved about a quarter of them to my desktop with the intention of posting my favorites.  Needless to say I have to break them up into separate posts but who cares, right?  More posts for you!

Part one:  Booties!  It took me a while to get into this style, mainly because when I heard "booties" I initially thought of the akward, square-toed ankle boots my mom used to wear in the fall and winter.  Now I can't get enough of them!

To be honest I was quite surprised with some of these.  Designers that I typically ADORE (ahem, Proenza Schouler) really didn't have anything that were that amazing to me, except this one pair of boots.  On the other hand, designers that I typically don't care for, like Donna Karen & Coach, had some of the best (umm HELLO purple booties, I am drooling all over my keyboard).  It was interesting.
