CHRISTMAS BOOTS
I just got these fantastic red patent boots from Casadei in time for Christmas. I got them on sale at YOOX.com. In love with the patent tipped laces. I love quirky touches. They remind me of “Him” from the Power Puff Girls.
I bet “Him” has a pair too. Casadei boots march to a tune all their own, but I usually wait until they make their way to Yoox, because they tend to be very, very pricey.
Perfect accompaniment to my favorite Hysteric Glamour jeans. Speaking of my favorite jeans, I just got them back from the tailor. They’re so old, the knees had totally ripped out. My tailor, Cho, happens to be an expert at mending/darning/restoring jeans. I was so relieved! It really pays to have a great tailor that can restore your favorite jeans–ask around in your own area, there are many that do this. It was only $30 to have my jeans restored as opposed to having to purchase another pair.
Notice the steel tipped heel? Another nice quirky touch…….

I haven’t watched cartoons in years, I vaguely remember Him. I think Casedi is very under-rated, they do such cool/innovate yet not trendy stuff. I’m curious about this jeans restoration, how exactly would they repair a knee rip w/o doing a noticeable patch?
I love the relationship you have with your daughter, and that you can share blogging/fashion. I lost my mother a few years ago, and seeing you two really warms my heart xx
I used to be a big fan of the Power Puff Girls (I even had a pink patent leather wallet with the girls on it)! But I totally forgot about “Him”. Love how he shows up in the one picture, it looks like he wants to snatch those boots away from you!
It’s All About The Details

Krystal,
I’m so sorry to read that–best wishes to you!! judy

If you look at my knees, you can easily see where they were mended. He did in fact use a piece of denim behind the knee to enforce it and keep it strong–think of how a scar looks.
Rachel Ashwell did a really nice story on mending 501′s in one of her Shabby Chic books–I doubt I could find it–but she had a lot of really nice photos…..
WoWzA!!!
Love those boots!!!
LOVE your new Christmas boots and all the fab details! Where is Cho located {if you don’t me asking}? They same has happened on one of my pairs of jeans from 2000, and I want the hole mended! {And I’m always on the look out for a good tailor!}
xo~sam
it’s so festive how you’ve paired the red boots with a tartan belt.
i haven’t found a good tailor since we live the islands. but a lady i do business with has given me the name of hers, so we’ll see..
your boots are very special and unique. i prefer that crinkly patent leather as opposed to a hard, smooth finish. your pair is perfect!
Omgosh so perfect on you and for the season! Love it paired back to the belt
Happy holidays Judy!!

Arlene! Happy Holidays to you too!!
Wow! What fantastic boots, Judy! You and Jane have the best eye for truly unique standout shoes and boots…just gorgeous! And they look super sassy with those jeans!
Love your look my dearest! Where is the belt from? Looks like a men’s tie!
The belt is from J. Crew several years ago–it does resemble a men’s tie.
The perfect red and the perfect boot! Fabulous!
