Fall Fashion: Must-Haves: BOOTS!

Boots have always been an important piece of fall/winter fashions, but now there are even more styles/options/varities of boots for every type of weather or occasion.  The selection can be overwhelming, and its oh so important to find the right comfortable fit.  Here is a break down of some of my favorites in different boot categories:

RAIN BOOTS

These little cuties are by Kamik.

And they come in TONS of different prints.  They are extremely afforable, ranging from $40-$60 a pair.  They have great traction, which is great for me because I am a clumsy fool.  They are lined with polartech so they keep your feet warm.  They are extremely comfortable, and very well-made.  These are great looking with pants or a skirt. They run on the narrow side, particularly through the calf, but most boots are too wide for me so these are just right. They look great with a trench or a long down coat when the weather gets cooler but it's wet out.  
SLOUCHY BOOTS

These are Kenneth Cole Reaction Bard Tender, $158

These are incredible boots and go way beyond my expectations. They tend to run on the larger side, so you may want to step down a 1/2 size or so if you would like them to be tighter around the calf.  They fit perfectly when I wear a regular pair of cotton socks. I ordered the slate color and it goes with everything. They are very stylish and comfortable.  You can wear them all day, walking, running, whatever, and you're feet will feel as fabulous as they did when you first slipped them on.  They are a bit pricier, but you can find good deals on Amazon.com (about $100) and other sites if you dig.  They are 100% worth the price for the style, comfort, and quality they deliver.

ANKLE BOOTS - Western

Yeeeee-Hawwww.  Western styles are back on the rise!  They are now popping up in ankle boot styles, which are, to say the least, completely adorable.  

These are the Frye Carson Shortie.  
They're comfortable, the colors are fabulous and they fit great. The leather is soft and dreamy. They look marvelous with jeans and skirts. You will never get so many compliments on a pair of shoes or boots, they're worth every penny!

 SNOW BOOTS

When it comes to snowy footwear, Ugg has continued to absolutely dominate the women's footwear market.  Their classic styling, plethora of colors and height, and high quality sheep skin comfort have made them an industry leader.  They have much more to offer than just the typical styles you often see on the street.  Here is a pair that has some adorable button detailing.  This style is called the Bailey Button Triplet.  Again, these are a more pricey boot, but they are 100% worth it, for the quality and comfort.
