Being a New Yorker, I have a lot--possibly too much--black in my closet, particularly when it comes to blazers, skirts, pants, and boots. Counting everything from booties to knee-high boots, I'd estimate that I have at least 10 pairs, most of which I do routinely wear, and this year I will probably buy at least another pair. (Because, hey, they're all different!) My last few purchases have been booties, which I've found work with both pants and skirts, and while I have a patent Sigerson Morrison and a cutout Loeffler Randall, what I don't have is a great platform bootie. Which is why Alexander Wang's Anya booties are totally perfect. The 5-inch heel will put me over 6 feet tall and elongate my legs in this season's ultra-skinny pants, while the 1.25-inch platform will help with the comfort issue. The sculpted heel is ultra-hot, and the pleating gives the bootie an interesting texture, avoiding the fin-like effect that some booties can have on one's feet. In fact, the only thing that's not perfect about them is the price: $590. However, unlike Wang's drool-worthy handbags, they aren't sold out everywhere, which at least makes them attainable--and in light of how much a pair of Louboutins or YSL shoes costs, $600 for boots almost seems downright reasonable. The Anya boots are also available on Wang's newly-launched e-commerce site in black or in chalk, with a forward-thinking clear heel (a look that's been showing up all over the spring runways). Hey, what's another pair of black boots when I already own 10?
