Sexy Things: Alexander McQueen Python and Leather Cut-Out Booties

Something about Alexander McQueen's clothing and accessories intrigue me, and this is the reason why I chose another item of the very popular fashion house as my sexy thing. Oh yeah, I'm talkin' about the python and leather cut-out booties!

It has a family feel to it, yet it is very sophisticated. I love how this mall is not too packed, so you don't feel like you're suffocating strolling from store-to-store.
