Nice Legs! - Ankle Boots

Personally, we are armed with an arsenal of ankle boots. The blessing to those who have “athletic” calves and cursed the day knee-high boots graced the trend lists, finally a trend for everyone. Ankle or slightly over the ankle – are perfection with skinny jeans and popped up on runways from Ralph Lauren to Erdem. Wearable and for any age, heel heights and toe options will give you endless options! Don’t delay on adding these to your cart before they are completely scooped up!

She’s All Legs! - Over The Knee Boots

Put some sexy in your step because over the knee boots draw the eye right to the main focus! Need to invest in just one item this winter? Than this is it! You can seriously wear over the knee boots with everything from dresses to fitted jeans since the silhouette is beyond versatile and will also keep that warmth in. Choose a chunky block heel for a more casual look or a simple stiletto to show them who’s boss.

Blinded By The Light - Embellished Boots

You’ve seen the runway, so now wear it. This fall and winter everything is embellished – seriously! From metallic tinsel and velvet to beads, fringe and fur, we are absolutely loving that anything goes when it comes to those stems. Jewels, pearls and huge buckles are going to make those feet glisten more than the snow we are all dreading! Channel this trend with any style as long as your feet are the first things being seen.

Saaaalute! - Military Boots

Schlep through the cold like you're army strong (but way more fashionable wearing a fox hat and printed fur jacket). Military and combat boots are a timeless classic but now designers are adding unique touches like colored suede or quilting to give you a modern edge. Sleek and polished, this pair is adorable with tights and a skirt, leggings with a cozy sweater or even fitted jeans and a tailored shirt.

Hey Kitty! Leopard Print Boots

We saw leopard parade through nearly every fall and winter collection! A classic staple in all our closets, add some leopard to more unusual places this season. Cat like prints (colors unknown) scream that you have style and want to be noticed. Treat leopard as a neutral – it looks sick with all colors and it’s the perfect compliment to olive, cranberry, black, camel and navy (see totally neutral)!
