Falling for Boots

As the temps cool my mind heats up thinking of soft cashmere, delicious sweaters with billowing necks, tweeds and the return of boots! to name a few...

A friend recently inquired (OK not sooo recently but work has been busy) what boots to invest in this fall. So I looked around and am happy to report classic is still classic! ha, and when you are spending a good chunk of money this is a very good thing!

Of course we'd all love to spend innumerable amounts of money on the newest Dior Jazz boot but you can find a solid, well-made classic for far less. My favorites are Cole Haan and Coach for well-made, classic styles...I've had a pair since 2004 from Coach and they could easily pass for this season.

What to Look For: a slightly rounded toe, medium heel (or stiletto if you're brave), luxe leather or suede with detailing but keep it subtle. Of course, riding boots are not only practical but timeless, and as much as I resisted the ankle boot is turning into a staying trend, so if you're brave go for it!!!

September and October are awkward times for me fashion-wise. Any tips on that "transitional" time for the seasons? Too early for wool, too late for linen...what is a girl to do?
