Funky Friday - Boots We Love To Hate Edition

Sometime in the next few weeks, some Famous Young Thing somewhere will be spotted in these and everyone will want a pair. Heed my words and remember how horrendous they looked before SiennaLindsayParisHeidiZooeyChloeLauren paired them with some floral mini-dress and showed up at some red carpet event which was featured in InStyle's Celebrity Looks section, ushering in a new and dubious trend.

Edited to add: These are by Michael Kors, whose designs I usually consider mainstream and accessible, if not always to my taste. This looks like something that was designed by Steve Madden during a vodka-and-vicodin laced fever dream.

  1. Pseu, I think you should name names, who "designed" this atrocity?

  2. So wrong, in oh so many ways. And for just 295 of your fine American dollars! Michael Kors, hang your head in shame...

  6. Those are so ugly ...it's like a franken-boot put together with photoshop. Hard to believe that they really exist - and that someone expects $$ in exchange...How on earth did they make it to the production stage?

    Ewwwwww.

    The Project Runway losers can laugh long and hard over this one.

  8. Well, at least they offer the opportunity to pretend one's frugally resisting them and then rewarding one's frugality by spending the $295 on, say, a cute little acorn charm bracelet and perhaps some matching earrings ;-)

  9. How simply dreadful. (Even I, who wear only distressed New Balance sneakers feel free to say so. :-)

  10. I'm sure I just don't "get" Michael Kors, and as a man I certainly don't buy him, but I find his designs tend to be fairly gauche. And don't get me started on his logo...

  11. Yep. Those are bad. Baaaaaaad.

  12. Based on how his last collection looked, I think Michael Kors is having a mid life crisis.

  13. Ok, from my sources, the inside scoop on Michael Kors (whose designs I generally adore) is that he likes to have a little aperitif here and there and everywhere.
    Perhaps he was a little tipsy when he designed those boots.
