I was out at a restaurant last night and saw a woman with these boots on. I was instantly taken aback at how beautiful they are in person, seen on a random stranger. These boots absolutely made her outfit, which was otherwise nondescript; black jeans, white blouse. I was reminded that a fabulous pair of shoes is an wise and pertinent investment.

These are Roberto Cavalli Lace Ankle Boots. Lace is very feminine, but a little can go a long way, and these boots add just the right amount to an outfit. These ankle boots have patent edging and nude mesh underlay with a heel that measures 5 inches high. It has bow detailing at front, a pointed toe, a rear zip fastening and has a stiletto heel. These Roberto Cavalli boots would look fabulous in the work place, as well as out in the town. They are available at Net a Porter, $1,475.
