Actress Whitney Port* has been spotted several times wearing her Loeffler Randall Matilde Embossed Snake Boots (from the Loeffler Randall fall 2008 collection) in Chocolate with her designer clothes. These snake-embossed leather boot with 1″ covered wedge heel, 15.5″ shaft and leather sole are available for purchase from Singer22.com, $775. They are also available in Black.
Personally, I wouldn’t spend that much money on these Loeffler Randall boots as I don’t like the looseness around Whitney’s calf. Now maybe on someone with normal size calves (like myself) and not way too skinny legs like Whitney’s (okay, maybe I’m a tad jealous), they would actually look better.
For a similar and way less expensive style, I recommend BCBGeneration’s Petler boots in Tobacco Suede that are currently available and on sale at OnlineShoes.com for $99.99 plus free shipping. The almost flat wedge heel and knee-high, pull-on boot are strikingly similar. Sure, they aren’t “embossed” with the snake skin print, but the leather upper suede can give a similar appearance at a distance.
*Whitney Port is most famous for her former role on the MTV reality television series The Hills and later, as the star of her own show, The City. She is a former fashion contributor for Teen Vogue and used to work for Diane von Fürstenberg.

While in Las Vegas, Squeak and I bowled at the Gold Coast – Squeak is quite the bowler! Me, on the other hand, am not. I don’t think I even broke 100. I always says I can’t be good at everything.
We posed to get a picture of us in our bowling shoes. Even though we both wear a 7.5, the shoes are obviously old and stretched out that we both ended up getting a size 7. I’m glad we remembered to bring socks as I didn’t want to put my bare foot in those well-used shoes, and it was $4 to buy a pair of socks from the vending machine.
I’ve always thought owning a pair of bowling shoes would be cool, so I set out to find some online. They are hard to come by! The only retro style bowling shoes I found were on closeout at BowlingShirt.com, and they didn’t have my size.
I did up finding a pair of bowling shoes that I did like and would wear (on a bowling league, probably not in public) in my favorite color of pink – Dexter Groove Bowling Shoes in Pink/White, available from OnlineShoes.com, $49.95 with Free Shipping. Get in the game with the Dexter Groove bowling shoe. The vintage design elements of this sleek women’s bowling shoe merge with hip modern style to create a fun look. A synthetic upper lends durability, as the classic rubber outsole accompanies you through your game. The raised heel and microfiber S8 slide soles of the Dexter Groove bowling shoe give flash and panache day or night.
P.S. Did you notice our bowling shirts from BowlingShirt.com? They are even in our favorite colors (me=pink, Squeak=red)!
