Boots, Boots, Boots

A take on my three favorite styles of boots for fall...

OVER THE KNEE

I absolutely love over the knee boots. They look so cute, whether you're pairing it with a pair of skinny jeans or colorful tights and a dress. My favorite style is a hidden wedge with a small cuff.


^ I love how Hillary Duff has worn her boots! So very polished and classy.




...And, my mom just bought the Via Spiga boots above in black. They are super comfy, and you can leave the flap down or unfold it - it looks cute either way. Unfortunately, they do not fit me - I am a half size smaller. :( But, I hope to find my own pair soon.

BOOTIES

I love booties as well - actually, even more than over the knee boots. The thing is, booties are absolutely timeless. Over the knee boots might only be hot for a few more seasons before they disappear from the shelves...
The main reason why I love booties: the style is extremely versatile. You can wear them with a sweater dress. A blouse and jeans. A sweater and a miniskirt. A peacoat. They go with everything.




^ I love both of these boots - the purple one is actually a really cute peep-toe boot (I usually find them ugly), and I love the Mary Jane style on the second one.

RIDING BOOTS

I have been looking for a pair of riding boots for what seems like eternity now...I don't want to spend too much on a pair of riding boots, which is one of the reasons I can't find a pair. But, the main reason is my height. I am really short and, well, a lot of the time, boots that usually knee-high on other women look ridiculous on me. I did buy a pair of flat boots last season, but they're not exactly equestrian.

Leave it up to Ralph Lauren to make a pair of ultra-cute riding boots. But the $1100 price tag? No thanks.


^Frye also has very cute boots. Definitely a possibility...


What are some of your favorite styles of boots for fall, and what do you think about over the knee boots?

And a big thank-you and hugs to all of you bloggers for staying with me! :)

I love riding boots; but you can go to a tack shop and get the real thing for alot less than Ralph Lauren is charging!

All these picks are great.

Ane J said...

Yay
Thank you.

And gosh, I really love the boots!
I don't even have a pair (yes, rather sad)
though this post gave me loads of good ideas!
I especially love the way Rihanna pulled it off!

Mimi said...

I like the booties most!

Kira Fashion said...

I bought the best riding boots from Cole Haan Country collection on ebay. I think the Country collection is mostly at outlets, since I never see it in stores. But wow, I wore them out yesterday and people couldn't stop staring at them. So gorgeous.

I'm on the hunt for over the knee boots now that I have finally found my super high brown riding boots, the v.s. ones look delicious. I'll be stalking those down shortly :)

The Clothes Horse said...

Oh, I would adore a pair of over the knee boots--not the slouchy kind though. But it's so hard to find some I can afford. :(
Very thorough post, I quite like all the boots you highlighted.

Farren said...

I love ankle boots! =) They're my favorite type of boot. There are at least 5 that I want at the same time. Haha. =/

choppyshades said...

nice boots. i think i like the ancle boots the most.

lara said...

great boots, my favourite boots for this winter/fall are def. lace up boots :)

hollyshambles.x said...

i completely agree! i find it so much easier to love a pair of boots than a pair of shoes - what don't they go with?! (:

yiqin; said...

I love colored boots! But I have so much trouble finding those that are actually around my budget! :(

coco said...

I like the look of over the knee boots but I wonder how they bend when sitting down....

Winnie said...

I love those Ralph Lauren boots! Too bad about the price though.
Also...sure, I've added you to my links already!

AsianCajuns said...

I really to start saving up for all the boots I want to buy for the fall. Can a girl really have too many boots?

i really like over the knee boots, but they make me look even shorter than i am. Love the booties and riding boots more :)

choubelle said...

I love the Via Spiga boots, and ankle booties as well as riding-ish boots go without say...I own a four inch pair of ankle booties and a pair of Fryes which are both my babies!! ...If you are shorter, a slightly more higher pair of fryes would feel good since they have a heel and fall about mid-calf (on me at least, I'm 5'4". They're waterproof, snowproof, my-miniature-donkeys-stepping-on-my-foot-proof and a slew of other things. If a guy breaks your heart the steel toes work well for kicking him where it hurts too...

just kidding about the last one. ;)

...I do believe that your blog is fabulous, it would be great to swap links!

I've been thinking about the over-the-knee boots... they are heaven! And practical on cold wintery days, right? ;)

Leeann said...

I'm into the riding boots style right now. However, I just need to get a nice pair of suede knees-highs. I love all the options!

Fashion Ivy said...

I love all kinds of boots. I have to wait to wear them till I go to canada tho. Boots in Barbados? Sun'e too hot

Thea said...

I love how Hilary Duff is wearing her over-knee boots too! I think it's so easy to look trashy with those kinda boots, but Hilary Duff made me want them!!

The Frocker said...

I really like mid-calf length boots, mainly because that's the type that usually fit me best. My calf muscles are pretty big, so tall slim boots like riding boots are a complete no-go. :P

Crave said...

I'm obsessed with all the Frye boots for this fall!! Cool post!
