Alexander McQueen is known for designing styles that are over the top. This luxurious, black leather, ankle high boot has an almond shaped toe, a fold-over tongue and a dominating, overblown gold tone buckle. There’s an architectural 5″ heel and a 1″ platform. I was a little concerned with the platform not being flush, thinking I’d topple when I walked, but that’s not the case with these. Lift and elongate your look with a masterfully designed, stylish, comfortable and bad-ass boot.

Shoe du jour
Late designer Alexander McQueen‘s signature skull motif definitely has stolen a spot in my shoe closet with these edgy, display-worthy olive suede peep toes from the spring 2012 collection.
The golden metal skull—set with rhinestone eyes, teeth and a Mohawk— is a serious adornment that adds a rebellious kick. Its 5.5″ heel and 1″ double platform make it a 4.5″ height equivalent (although I’m sure my podiatrist would disagree).
Always a rebel … it’s so ghoulishly girly and so dangerously fun.
