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!
The Karat by Mia is such a nice little flat: a patent leather toe with a bow, glitter all over the rest, perfect under dress pants or a skirt or with jeans. They also come in silver glitter with black details which is rather striking as well; you can find them for $49 at 
The Shives is a sweet little pointed-toe patent leather pump with a 3.25-inch heel and a bow at the toe. Also available in red and camel; pick them up at 
The Salsa by Badgley Mischka is a beautiful shoe: a satin upper, leather lining and sole, three-inch heel, and an elaborate jewel feature at the peep-toe. You will be the belle of any holiday party in these! Find them at 
How about lace? The Lux by Fioni Night has a four-inch satin heel, platform, lightly padded insole, and slingback to accompany its lace upper. Yours for $30 from 
The Aine by Type Z has a suede upper with lace up the side and around the top, as well as a five-inch heel, one-inch platform, lightly padded footbed, partial side zipper, and a shaft that’s 17.5 inches high and 15.5 inches around. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Pick up yours from 
The Botticelli Lace-Up by MIA has a manmade sole, three-quarter-inch wedge, and really elaborate cutouts. It comes in nude suede (shown), gray suede, black suede, black leather, khaki leather, and natural leather (really a warm brown), so whatever your faire outfit, you’ll find a pair to match! Find them on 
The Sassy 09 by Demonia Shoes are black velvet with a surprising amount of arch support. (Good for walking all day!) I found them around the internet in burgundy and purple as well, but you can get the black most cheaply from 
These ankle boots are made of microfiber (so soft!) and have a rubber sole. Find them at 
Teal! Whee! The Hera Sandals also come in purple, black, and tan, and can be yours for $59 from
