I Found You, Ms New Boot-y

There is no shoe I love more than a great pair of boots, which is obvious from the several pairs that I live in during the cooler months. Here are a few must haves to fill your closet for fall:

Every girl needs a classic black, mid-heel boot. Just avoid too shiny (p)leather and too high of a heel to avoid looking less than professional.

Classic Boots

One boot that is seemingly missing from my closet is a great rain boot, especially since the Charlotte weather has been anything but sunny lately. I think the Chinese Laundry or Hunter wellies are on my must-have list for fall.

rainy day boots
One of the great fall/winter shoe trends is the bootie and I jumped on this one with my fun dollhouse booties. These are great paired with tights or leggings!
 
booties
Flat boots are a must have, especially for traveling or commuting in the city. They also pair great with jeans and leggings for a casual weekend look.
 
Flats
Ankle boots can be a hit or miss, look for one that hits right above the ankle and team them up with some classic skinny jeans and a tunic to balance out the look. 
 
ankle
If you are extra daring, try out an over the knee (OTK) boot look at your own risk. These can be pulled off by a small percentage of fashion lovers, and I for one am not in the percentage. If you happen to be blessed with long legs, then go for it!

How to Succeed in Bassness

Would that be Bassness or Badassness, because Blair’s styling was pretty Badassness last night! This was some of my favorite styling so far this season, and no Herve Leger bandage dresses anywhere in sight, Hallelujah. I must say my favorite look was Blair at Chuck’s bar opening, I die for the flapper look. Could be that whole ex-Charlestonian, former tap-dancer thing I got going on. Drum up your Blair Badassness with these looks for less (click on images for more information on pricing and where to purchase):
