I am obsessed with booties!  Open toe or closed,  I am in love with both versions.  One of my shopping philosophies is to go high-low.  I like to  purchase key pieces that are expensive and exceptionally made and pair those items with lesser expensive items.  Here are my picks for amazing booties at both high and low prices….

Rag & Bone Harrow Leather Bootie – $525 at Nordstrom.com: This is a classic that is beautiful and exceptionally made.   However at $525 I have been on the hunt for a less expensive version and think I may have found it with the BP bootie listed below.

BP ‘Train’ Wrap Belted Bootie – $119.95 at Nordstrom.com: I am a tough critic when it comes to lesser expensive versions and I think this one comes pretty darn close

Vince ‘Brigham’ Open Toe Bootie – $450 at Nordstrom.com: In my eyes these are a perfect bootie.  Perfect to wear with shorts, yet dressy enough to wear with a dressier pair of slacks.  At $450 I may pay this much, however I do think that the less expensive version is pretty darn cute as well.
Nine West Tiptoe Bootie – $129 at Zappos: There are some differences between the texture of the leather however let’s keep in mind that there is a $300 savings that could be used towards the BP bootie and you would still have money leftover to purchase some makeup.

Christian Louboutin Chesterfille Leather Ankle Boot – $1095 at Saks Fifth Avenue: I have a soft spot for Louboutin’s.  There is something about that red sole that makes me swoon.  Although at over $1000 I am not sure these perfect shoes will be mine.

ALDO Piedim Leather Bootie – $120 at Zappos.com:  OK, so there is no red sole, but these are a pretty close dupe for the beloved Chesterfille bootie that I will continue to admire from afar.
