Fall is Here!

This weekend we officially went from summer to autumn.  (It even feels like autumn, doesn’t it?)  And autumn means… boots!  Tall boots, short boots, boots boots boots! 

The Melissa Riding Boots by Frye is just too gorgeous.  The rich brown color, the little silver dangle, but mostly the embossed design on the outside.  Oh, I’m in love.  Also available in black but it doesn’t hold a candle to the cognac; find them at Bloomingdales for $418.

The Can’t Stand the Heat by Seychelles combines a boot with one of the hot fall trends: military.  The suede upper has loops of scalloped trim, and eight brass beads hold ties in figure eights.  A zipper up the back lets you in; find them at DSW for $100.

The Mixie Tall Dress Boots by Bandolino is such a lovely fall color, isn’t it?  And it feels so delicate: the thin straps around the ankle, the dainty studs around the top, the slender three-inch heel.  Also available in black suede and white leather, though I have to say the white leather version is a little reminiscent of 1960s go-go boots.  Yours for $169 from Macy’s.

The Theodora by MIA is the classic two-tone riding boot, with black faux leather on the bottom and brown faux leather at the top.  It has a 1.5-inch heel and buckle detailing around the back of the calf, and can be yours for $45 from 6pm.

Over the knee boots are still in, and the South Bay by Chinese Laundry fits the bill!  The leather upper goes over the knee, but there’s a little stretch panel in the back to help you fold it down below the knee if you want to wear it that way.  And it comes in three colors!  The black, a light brown, and a dark brown—all leather, and all for $100 from Nordstrom.

So grab your boots and enjoy the fall, ladies!
