WANTED: Elin Nordegren's Black Buckle Boots

Found 'em... finally!

I first spotted Elin Nordegren (ex- Mrs. Tiger Woods) rocking these chic boots back in December 2009.  Apparently, they were the hit of Fall/Winter 2009... okay, so I'm a tad late on this trend. :-)

 Now, I can have my very own pair of Vivienne Westwood Pirate Boots!

These are exactly like Elin's but no longer available at Net-A-Porter.com.

However, Zappos does carry the boots in different colors and materials.
I'd go with the natural colored suede... it goes with almost everything!

Jessica Alba's beloved black boots!

I came across photos of Jessica Alba in these black harness boots several weeks ago.
Since then, I've been trying to figure out...

who, what, where and exactly how much?!?

Well, folks... S U C C E S S... I've found them!

The only problem is...

the boots will set one recessionista (ME!) back over one thousand buckaroos...

as they are made with love by Prada.

With an original retail value of a whopping $1,350... Prada's black calfskin harness strap rubber lug boots can still be found at Bluefly for $1,080!!

Only a few sizes remain... none of which are mine.

The boots may look so plain, but on Alba -- they look so plainly gorgeous!
