Boots, boots, boots!
I love boots. They add depth to an outfit, an element of style that just can’t be achieved with your standard shoe. Beyond the fashion pluses of the footwear, they also keep your feet dry in the rain and toasty in the winter. All that said, I’m ashamed to say that my fashion wardrobe contains only two pairs. Thus, inspired by Shelby’s insistence last week that every girl should be outfitted in boots this season – and I must say that I agree – I thought it would be prudent to bring you some of my favorites, and in the process, shop for myself.
1. Kamik Rain Boots
Now, I’m usually an advocate of what I call mainstream clothing: no neon, construction-worker wear colors; no obnoxious all-over prints. But rain boots are the exception. Go wild. The ones I want to go wild with? Kamik boots. They have a variety of fun patterns that will bring cheer on a rainy, cloudy day. And who doesn’t want that?
2. Bamboo Boots
I fell in love with these boots when I saw them. They’re not by any means haute couture, nor are they even high-end. But these Bamboo Boots by Journee struck a chord. They’ve got the flat look that’s in style right now, mixed with the gladiator trend from the summer. Win, win, win.
3. Coach Joele Boot
I couldn’t resist including this Coach Joele boot, despite its $348 dollar price. They’re perfect. The leather looks buttery smooth. My mouth’s watering. I’m in boot lust. The pair is both fashionable, yet not so trendy that I won’t be able to wear them a year from now. Thus, I would say that they’re actually practical. Yes, that’s it. They’re definitely making my Christmas wish list this year.

I don’t usually like boots, but I think you might have converted me. The Coach pair is fabulous, and I mean that sincerely.
