LACY GRANNY boots are the perfect complement
to this season’s romantic fashions in pale pastel
colors and breezy, diaphanous layers. Italian shoe-
maker Claudia Ciuti cuts these dainty boots from
cream leather and crochet mesh, then laces them
up with nubuck. Shoes available at The Shoe Tree
in Bellevue Landing, West Vancouver.
