Fiorentini & Baker 'Eternity' Boot in Brown $525

So I’ve been seeing these around for a while, but have only now decidedly fallen deeply in love. I spotted them across a crowded room (okay a kid party next to the bounce house) at my friend D’s, and promptly ran over to accost the very kind woman who was wearing them. She told me she had gotten them at Madison, and my heart sank – they would be a skillion dollars. Although $525 isn’t exactly a skillion, it can feel like it in this economic climate, which is why I immediately set out to find a decent facsimile. I managed to dig up these ‘Buck’ Calf Length Buckle Boots for a hundred and twenty bucks. Facsimile? Yes. Decent? Maybe, but I am so blinded by my love for the F & B pair, that I’m not even entertaining them. Probably not. Okay, perhaps…
