Because, I gotta tell ya, I just can’t with these shoes, or booties, if you will.  It’s impossible for me to pretend like I love all of the trends, because this example of What’s Hot For Fall 2012 is quite simply, hideous.   You know me.  You know that I love a high heel and I love a boot (oh, Brian Atwood!).  I don’t however, love a hoof.
