Must-Have Boots For Fall/Winter 2009

Must-Have Boots For Fall/Winter 2009

Like it or not, there is a sweet crispness in the air which signifies the clear delineation of Summer from Fall.   Doesn’t mean you need to pull all your sweaters out just yet… but you definitely need to start thinking fall boots.   Here are some of our top picks!   And do we really need to say that every single pair below is animal-skin free?   I mean, really.   You should know us better than that by now.

Nothing will ever beat the hotness of high heeled, 70’s vibes (faux) suede or shiny (faux) leather high groupie boots.   Viva Penny Lane!   Avoid looking overtly trampy by keeping your outfit very chic and not too tight fitting when rocking these obviously erotic boots.   Think a long tunic sweater and skinny pants or leggings.
