The peep toe bootie is nothing new to the closets of Fashionistas, but for fall 2011 the style was spotted on the runways in Paris, Milan and New York and has hit store shelves this month with fervor. Different styles of peep toe booties have graced store shelves over the past few years and this season shoppers can expect to find the same variety of peep toe booties for fall in solid styles, ankle styles and with cutouts.

The peep toe booties have come of age and is arguably the “IT” style of high heel for fall season. Both casual and dressy versions of the shoe style have walked onto store displays and shelves reeling in the hearts of Fashionistas. Designers such as Prada and Chanel have several different styles of peep toe booties to choose from this fall season in both classic colors and seasonal colors.

The colors that are popping up on peep toe booties this season range from autumn hues, such as burgundy, to edgy, fashion-forward shades such as blush rose; which happens to be the shoe color of the season. While more conservative styles of peep toe booties in seasonless shades of beige, black and brown are du rigueur for 2011, bold cut-out styles in autumn hues, rose blush and bright colors are also important.

The open toe bootie is of course being shown with casual attire and jeans as well as dresses with hemlines above the knee. A peep toe bootie may also be the ultimate investment piece for the season since one pair can take a Fashionistas from jeans during the day to a Diane von Furstenberg dress at night. When shopping for a fall pair of peep toe booties, keep in mind how versatile the style is and which colors would with the majority of your closet. Of course, one can never go wrong with Prada’s black version for $750. Happy shopping and stay fabulous
