4. THE HEELED BOOT
How to style out party season? In a pair of heeled boots. You can amp them up with a mini dress for girls’ night or tone it down (just a bit) for the Christmas work do. This season, Mach and Mach have nailed the assignment. Their Corset Heeled Boots in brown suede feature studded embellishments and a lace-up silhouette. Also, worth adding to your RSVP list: Christian Louboutin’s Patent Knee-High Boots. With a pointed toe, killer heel and glossy finish, they’re practically made for big nights out.
