I’ve been on the prowl for some very versatile, impossibly comfortable, great leather boots for fall. I’m scouring the city (and the Internet) for a brown leather pair that hits right at the knee, doesn’t make me look too short (but some things just can’t be helped), and won’t cost me a month’s rent. Because, y’know, I need a new pair of shoes like I need a hole in the head.
Which is why I was pumped when an invite from the Hello Stiletto Shoe Club landed in my inbox. On October 9, from 6 to 9 p.m., the Hello Stiletto Boston branch is throwing a “Shake Your Booty” soiree at Leokadia — the little South End boutique that carries some big-name brands — to benefit the Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis. It’s a chance to shop the well-edited selection of shoes from Modern Vintage, Marc Jacobs, and Dolce Vita (to name just a few of the oodles of options), sip Champagne cocktails, and, well, shake your booty to the music of DJ Joe Mama — all while raising cash for a good cause. The only catch? You have to be a Hello Stiletto Shoe Club member before you can RSVP. Get on the mailing list by signing up at the Hello Stiletto Web site.
Here’s hoping this is the last stop on my hunt for the best boot(y) in town.
