My Top 5 Boots for Fall 2011
1. Sartore Western Ankle Boots -- These have long been on my list, and I think the time has come for them finally to be mine. They are classic and simple, subtly detailed and textural, a western edge without the kitsch, and are the perfect just-polished-enough boots to wear with skinny jeans (Acne Needle Jeans, meet your new best friend) during the day and into the night.
2. Suede Thigh High Alaia Boots -- is there really any explanation needed? Clean long lines, rich suede, and a sophisticated shaped heel -- an automatic outfit maker. Plus, did I mention they are Alaia? Perfection.
3. Ann Demeulemeester Lace-up Wedge Boots -- I have long been a fan of Ann Demeulemeester, especially her amazing, cult-status shoes, and not buying a certain pair of heavily laced-up black boots a few seasons back still haunts me. So when I discovered a similar look set on a sleek wedge, I knew it was meant to be. I won't let the chance pass me by again.
4. Isabel Marant -- I've always been a sucker for fringe, and in this case it's been done just right, chic with just enough of a bohemian vibe without crossing the line into cheesy territory. Leather and suede combo in a perfect, warm, fall color, done up in an easy, slouchy silhouette that evokes the original boots for which Isabel Marant first developed a legion of devoted fans (I happen to own a pair of those fantastic originals myself, naturally).
5. Topshop Velvet Lace-up -- 2 things that I love unconditionally: velvet and the color red. So when these two things come together in a cute, casual, lace-up bootie that also happens to be super affordable, how can I resist? The perfect shoe to really start getting into the fall spirit.
