BTB: The power of uber-cool boots, now at Smartpak

The power of uber-cool boots, now at Smartpak Posted: 20 Sep 2010 04:10 PM PDT Smartpak Equine's Cordoba Andalusian Riding boot ($245) One of my cellphone ringtones is "These boots are made for walkin'" by Nancy Sinatra. Nancy's wearin' her boots and she's ready to stomp on some fools.  Me too! I don't know what it is, but the sound of my Petries on the  barn aisle makes me feel like a pretty freakin' powerful. If my Petries make me a Princess of Power, what do you think the boots to the right, from Smartpak Equine, will bring their wearer? I know the answer: Super powers and super chic. Kudos to Smartpak Equine for branching out into the equestrian fashion zone. This fall's catalog is a blast. The trick to wearing these boots, I think, is to let them make a statement all by themselves. A pair of brown cords, a beige cable sweater, a little thin gold strand around the neck, and you're done. Of course I want a pair, but between Devon and having Riley in full training and flying home for my high school reunion and buying two saddles (used) I have been very, very naughty.  I'm on shopping hiatus, big time. I'll be lucky if I'm in any sort of financial shape by Christmas. From fashion to theatrics For some reason I've been getting a wiccan/fantasy/sci-fi/renaissance catalog called Pyramid Collections. For $79, I can have these buccaneer boots. If I don't let anyone get within 20 feet to see that they're vinyl, if I don't actually walk in them for any length of time, and if I don't get them wet or muddy, do you think they might somehow satisfy my yearning for the ubercool boots? No, I didn't think so. Sigh.
